Excellent beach holiday
Snorkelling from the beach; dining al fresco enjoying warm sea breezes; comfortable accommodations
9
We chose Mango Bay Resort as a place on the beach to unwind after a busy tour of Viet Nam and we were very happy with our choice. Mango Bay is an eco-resort and we enjoyed our comfortable rooms with ceiling fans and outdoor (private) bathrooms (the hotel upgraded us prior to arrival in order to ensure we'd have quiet rooms - a large family was checking in near our original rooms). The two restaurants were very good as was the service. We especially loved the snorkelling from the beach - not too much coral, but lots of colourful fish. We also took a boat trip to snorkel off some island reefs a short distance from the hotel. All in all, we were very happy with Mango Bay and highly recommend it as a good place to stay in Phu Quoc.

Absolute bliss!
Location, attentive staff, fab breakfast
9.3
This was the perfect choice for our last 5 days in Vietnam. We'd travelled through the full length of Vietnam for three weeks and then had the most amazing last 5 days relaxing and reflecting on the most amazing holiday ever. This resort is in the most beautiful location and the staff are so friendly. Lots of free activities are offered, the boat trip was great and the kayaking brilliant. Cycling around the north of the island was great too.
Breakfast is perfect, so nice to be served rather than buffet. So much choice. Lunch and evening meals were great too, lots of choice. Perfect!!!

Great Staff & Setting, Average Facilities
Staff, Setting, Eco-Concept
5.7
Starting with positives:
+Beautiful setting,+Fantastic staff,+Nice concept of eco-resort,+Excellent massage,+Airy, Spaced out buildings
However, we felt the resort is looking a bit tired and there are some small annoying points:
-Maintenance needs a boost, bathrooms are starting to look very tired,-Show pressure poor,-If you give filter water in the rooms, you should be pushing it in the restaurant too (eco-concept?),-Food is AVERAGE we were not impressed,-Pay for ice?,-Pay for cappuccino at breakfast?

Eco-luxury at a good price
Great beach location, good food, unique room
9.3
Free airport pick up/drop off service.
We were here on honeymoon, the welcomed us with a free bottle of red wine. Great bar and both restaurants are right on the beach. Food is excellent, but only tried Vietnamese parts of the menu. Pastry was fresh in the morning. Good drink selection (beer, wine, cocktails etc), happy hour made things much more affordable. Busier on weekends.
Beach has two areas, one in a small bay, the other in a wider beach. Wasn't busy in Feb when we were there, water is clean and very shallow. There are a few rocks, but still lots of (real) soft sand. Every 1-2 hours staff were out cleaning the beach of seaweed and rubbish. Activities include kayaking, boules etc, but cost extra (not a lot though).
Staff always happy and smiling, but respect your privacy as well.
Room: outside bathroom is brilliant. Shower can be a little cold in the morning as it is solar heated. Good toiletries, mozzie net and citronella coil placed in room each evening. No air con, but plenty of fans add to eco-atmosphere

Sustainable and close to the nature.
The food, the service and the peace and quiet.
8.7
Kind people who cares about the nature, chilled out atmosphere and amazing food. Breakfast was okay (i would recommend the broken rice with beef), but isn´t a buffet. The only negative thing was that some of the personel didn't seem to be that happy with their situation even though they worked in such a beautiful and peaceful area. ;)

nice eco hotel, but bit overpriced
interesting concept of rooms, own beach, very good food
8
Real eco hotel, no airco and tv in rooms, bathroom is in a kind of own the garden. Own beach with sunbeds, very good food, airport shuttle is available for free. Hotel is a little bit far from city center, not easy to get in. However, the price you pay is too high compared to other hotels on the island.

Excellent Eco Tourism
Nature-Management-Restaurant

Truly relaxing within a natural surrounding. We had an own house, which is common inside mangobay. The bungalow is open- a feeling of nature therefore rises more. The bathroom is in the garden integrated- fantastic. The see and its protected reef is perfect for snorceling and swimming. The restaurant is perfect fusion and vietnamese kitchen. A lot of tourists from outside enjoy there dinner here. Pho quong Airport is perfect to reach from saigon. Thus I would never ever go to phan tiet/ Mui nee again - a russian ruled area 6 hours from saigon by road.I do recommend to go to pho quong!
