Vung Bau hotels & places to stay

What a great resort. The rooms are amazing, the spa is incredible and the staff are awesome. The setting is pure bliss and the hardest choices for you have to make is wether to lie by the pool or the beach. The only issue (very minor) is the range of food and the price. Breakfast however is brilliant. It’s still a new resort and as such is relatively quiet so get in before it becomes too crowded. It’s true when people say they didn’t want to leave because that is exactly how we felt. All round amazing and one of the best places we have ever stayed.

Nam Nghi is a brandnew five star resort located on a penisula in the north-west Phu Quoc. It features beach villas where you can enjoy both the sunrise and the sunset. The minibar is richly filled with soft drinks, chocolate, French wine, whiskey and Remy Martin, etc. It's also worth mentioning that the TV system not only includes HD cable TV channels, but also on-demand categorized HD Bluray movies which is something none of the other five-star hotels can offer in Phu Quoc. The pool area is ideally placed just in front of the private beach area and offers comfortable sunbeds and a pool bar. Opposite the penisula, only some 200 metres away, you will find an exclusive, beautiful small island with another private beach and a restaurant which is currently under construction. We would love to experience a dinner there once it's finished. The staff is service-minded and will make sure you'll get a pleasant stay and the uttermost of your vacation. This is the place to go whether you want a few days break from some work in Vietnam (like in my case) or you are going for some regular vacation. The resort has done an excellent job in preserving the original nature which gives an extra touch to the overall experience compared to other five star resorts on the island. The beaches in Phu Quoc are not like in Maldives or French Polynesia, but if you've already been at those resorts a number of times, Nam Nghi is the place to go for a divine excursion into the best of what Phu Quoc has to offer.

This is probably one of the best locations on Phu Quoc and the setting with restaurant between trees and palms right by the beach is really something. Locations is 5 stars. Hotel is 2+. Our stay had a lot of minor flaws: - Little plastic pieces in one dish. - order mix ups at breakfast. - a leaking water tank on the roof, leaking a lot of water into our room - we reported this and a guy went to roof, crossing our no roof bathroom without warning, almost catching me with my pants down, literally. - Two lamps were dysfunctional. We reported it, and had to remind them to return them. These things can happen to anyone, it's just not dealt with very well. No apology, no making it up to us. Other places might have offered a free drink or even upgrade to a better room. One hotel upgrade us because the key didn't work for 5 minutes. The general staff is very nice and friendly, but the management seems inexperienced and not fully competent, although very trying. Also when you book a room they are very eager to get you to also book their transport to/from the airport. This is 30$ one way and apparently without profit. We got a metered cap at the airport, it was 25$. When leaving the kept asking about arranging transport. It was 22$ to town. We asked them to call a cap - they responded with an odd look. It was only 13$!?! A nice tip is to visit the near by Vung Bau resort, They have excellent food and their Lime juice is 15.000 not 45.000 dong and is not filled with ice. 5.000 extra if you don't want ice at Bamboo Cottage! The free kayaks are a huge plus and we received some helpful information as well. Bamboo Cottage seems to be one of the best options there is but it's far from perfect. Minor improvements could make for a better experience.

don't be alarmed when you leave the main road and go down a very bumpy dirt track. this is the way to the resort! the resort is small with about ten huts and a main open restaurant in the middle. the huts are about ten meters from the sea. it's truly beautiful, the restaurant does a variety of food at a very reasonable price and is all very nice! the resort is very quite. after dinner this is no entertainment or any where to go unless you get a taxi into the main town. perfect of you want to relax. the resort will organise anything you want from snorkeling trips to taxis around the island. the rooms are basic but have everything you need. van pearl safari is only five minutes drive away and I would highly recommend going for a visit. also the floating fish restaurant at star fish beach is 40 min drive and it's definitely a must see! Vietnamese people are very small in size. so if you are larger size I would recommend taking your own towles and beach towels. taxis are cheap and the best way to get around if you want to do a tour it cost about £40 for the day. we also hired a local boat to go snorkeling for about £30. this was much cheaper than doing a local tour. staff are all super friendly,. I would stay here again! such a beautiful beach!

Highly recommend Vung Bau Resort for those who want total relaxation and is not chasing stars. This place has this relaxed, chilling out, "no problem" aura, which is solo worth a 10-hour flight! So, why choose it: - splendid calm atmosphere, - the best beach on the island (I really mean it, the best - we saw a lot and can compare), - calm, clean and warm sea with no jellyfish or anything like that, ideal for swimming, good for those with kids (perfect sea entrance) - free sunbeds, umbrellas and kayaks - nice rooms, most of them 50 steps away from the sea - cheap bike rental (about $9 per day) - pretty good restaurant with reasonable prices. No need to take money with you - all expenses are on your room and payable at the checkout - friendly and very helpful staff! What you should be ready for : - Vung Bau is not a 5-star place, which is clear from the price - so, rooms are clean but quite basic. Here you get what you pay for. - really far from the touristic buzz, no massage

Wonderful staff, attentive manager, warm and cherry family run feel. Super private beach and spotlessly clean rooms for bargain price. Remote location in Vung Bau is double edged sword -- relaxing quiet pristine hideaway if you want privacy (can stroll for miles on the beach and not see a soul in sight!) but bit of s hassle if you plan to eat out a lot and do a ton of excursions to the south (be prepared to hire a scooter / pay for transport)

Really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and unspoilt beach bungalow. Bungalows were simple but pretty, cleaned everyday, as was the beach which was only a few steps from the front door of our bungalow. Sunbeds and hammocks are available for all as well as seating and tables in a well kept garden. Owners and Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant had a great selection of food choices including the best vegetarian selection i have found over here..huge amount of meat choices too. The bungalows are in a quiet location so a taxi or bikes are needed to get to other places of interest or restaurants other than those at local resorts. A perfect place to visit for relaxation or romance 😊
