Eco friendly resort right at the beach
Have private beach area. Friendly & helpful staff
7
we had very relaxing days at the resort, green and clean. Location is good, near city center, easy to have good food with reasonable price.
Restaurant Tip:
Explore fresh seafood at Dinh Cau night market. It's cheap but exetremely good.

Good value for money
Near the beach, renting of motorbike is easy

Room is good, though is a bit stuffy since it faces the garden. Should ask for a room facing the beach and it will be fantastic
Restaurant Tip:
Don't eat at the resort. It is horribly pricy. Rent a motorbike and go to Bich Nguyen restaurant nearby (it's near Chez Carole). The food there is much better an cheaper

We arrived at Pho Quoc via the Super Dong Express, a pleasant two and half hour ride from Riach Gia. We hopped on a mini bus which luckily knew where the hotel was and cost 50k dong. There are no sign post along the road to this hotel and once off the main road an off road flooded track of about 200 meters leads you to the hotel.
The staff were not particularly welcoming and spoke fair English. Our sea view Chalet was basic almost rustic, but clean and tidy, with an open air shower. Although it had a fan and mosquito net, there was no TV or Aircon. We had to chase the staff to clean our rooms, but once told they met our request.
The good points were you can chill out here, the beach is just 10 meters away. The sunsets, listening to the waves at night and seeing sunrises in the morning are great.
The breakfasts were good I liked the bacon omelettes and pancakes with fresh fruit. The food generally was well price and good to eat. The lad who ran the food side was a happy and cheerful sole who provided good service, it was a shame that this did not rub off on the owners.
The hotel did provide rental bikes and trips but we did not use these services.
The sad part is the beaches are not clean and the water polluted. Not the hotels fault.
As it was low season there were not many touts on the beach and we found a good local bar run by an Oz couple call Amigos, but may be renamed as Rory's bar. Open till 12 and good social ambience.
Overall a good chill out hotel.

Lovely bungalow. The restaurant was OK but better restaurants are easily reached by walking along the beach.

Go to Rory's bar just down the beach. Good meeting place and open till 12

Sea view bungalow is how a real estate agent from Sydney would categorize it. A glimpse of the ocean of any tiny amount qualifies. The beaches in Phu Quoc are an absolute disgrace. If you want to walk on water, then this is the place to go. You cannot swim for the rubbish in the water.
Travel tip:
Give Phu Quoc a big miss

Peace and quiet at a great price
Relaxing and comfortable bungalows
8.3
The place itself was great, the bungalow we stayed in was clean and quite modern. We didn't need air conditioning at night, the fan sufficed. Unfortunately we came during the wet season, so while prices were very good the weather wasn't great. Breakfast selection had an ample selection of eggs, Vietnamese food and fresh fruit juices. Overall we were very happy with our stay, although some more sun would not have hurt!
Restaurant Tip:
Definitely check out the nightly food market in town, the seafood is excellent and prices won't be beat! Its about a 25 minute walk from the resort.

Pretty bungalows in beautiful garden
staff, garden, proximity to beach, breakfast

Great clean natural rooms with an outdoor bathroom. I stayed in a beachfront bungalow that had a cool breeze and did not even need to use the fan. Also nice to have private balcony with hammock for reading books or an evening drink. Staff at front desk were helpful, but it was difficult to know exactly where reception was on arrival (in the restaurant). Also should note that they only provide free transfer to airport one way and no transfer from ferry.
The restaurant staff were kind and very friendly. The included breakfast was generous with choice two food and one drink or two drinks and one food. Other menu was ok, but plenty of choice on main road. But need to bring torch as area is not well lit at night and is the last hotel along path.
Found that the beachfront was one of the better ones along long beach.
Great place to relax, read, swim and walk!
Restaurant Tip:
The restaurant Mondo on the main road has friendly staff with ok wine by the glass and tapas menu
