JM Boutique Hotel — Hotel in Phú Quốc

We had a very pleasant stay at this Hotel. It’s located very close to Khem beach, which is one of the nicest ones in Phu Quoc - very clean with clear water and not too crowded.

The Hotel itself is very well built, we stayed in their biggest room - the King Deluxe and we absolutely loved the use of stone and wood in the room while having all the modern amenities. They have paid attention to small details to make the room really comfortable and convenient and it looks exactly like in the photos on their website. The only downside is no sea view. We really loved the Hotel too, the interiors are very nicely done. The service is good, the staff is very helpful.

Breakfast was decent, not great though, especially if you are a vegetarian, although 2nd day onwards, they had prepared dishes especially for us so that was nice. However, the staff messed up a bit, and pointed out the pancake containing eggs as being without egg and made especially for us and my wife ate it too, only to realize that there was another set of pancakes which were actually eggless and had been made for us. (It was a big deal for us as we are vegetarians and don’t eat eggs). They messed up the labels for plain yoghurt and egg yoghurt too and we noticed and could point out the mistake to the staff only because they had exactly the same items on the previous day and by looking at them we could see the labels were incorrect. But the staff really need to be careful about these things, especially for guests who have dietary restrictions due to religious reasons or allergies. So if you are a vegetarian, just double check with them before you eat anything. I think the staff just need to be briefed about this and then it will be all right.

Otherwise, overall the Hotel is highly recommended for a stay and is value for money. On the 1st day, we did feel that it may be better perhaps to book a resort which has private beach access for the Bai Khem area - like New World resort/Premiere Residences but it didn’t really matter much as the beach is very close, not very crowded, there are a number of beach bars and restaurants and you can use their sun loungers and bean bags on the beach and in fact you can even have a really nice meal right on the beach at Istanbul beach club for instance. And I have to say it again but we absolutely loved the interiors of this hotel. And they have really cool bikes. We would recommend staying in this area of Phu Quoc compared to Duong Dong.

Tips: Visit Sunset Town, which is quite close, for an evening or even a whole day - not to be missed. There are a couple of vegetarian Vietnamese restaurants you can cycle to, just search on Google. Can rent motorbikes from The Sky Hotel, which is close by. The only way to reach this area from the airport is by taxi (we tried Peaktime etc but it didn’t work). So just use Grab at the airport, we checked and negotiated a lower price with a waiting taxi but it will range from VND...

The Hotel is situated in a newly built area called New World, which is a beautiful European-styled resort area with a number of large hotel chains and a few small ones. Many of the buildings are still vacant for now, but there are quite a number of cafes, convenience stores, bars and restaurants that should be more than sufficient for daily needs. Stay in the area if you like quiet, serene surroundings within a stone's throw of the beach. Grand World is an hour's taxi ride away but Sunset Town is just 5-minutes by taxi.

JM Boutique is a quaint family-owned hotel located right at the end of the main street, and you can literally see the beach right from its front door. The staff are amazing and very attentive and helpful, and all of them speak English well - thanks Jo, Sa, Linh and Maynh! Jo also runs the Italian restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel where we had a fantastic meal on our last night - highly recommend trying out her food!

Breakfast was surprisingly good as well, with an amazing spread of international items including charcuterie, cheeses and even Singapore-style homemade Kaya! Look out for the cute 24-hour receptionist doggo wandering around looking for attention and a treat! 🐕

The room had everything that you'd expect or need including toiletries, beach towels, flip flops, umbrella and a beach bag. There's even a Japanese-style bidet in the WC! The only bad thing was that the room was a little small for us, and the wardrobe light wasn't working. Also, if you're not a couple, the semi-open concept toilet may be a bit awkward.

All in all, really great experience and 10/10 would come again!

Secret tip 1: Visit the top floor of the hotel and you may be surprised by the view (and the well-equipped gym).

Secret tip 2: Walk 50 metres to Pansy Store around the corner and you'll find a group of taxi drivers waiting around for fares. They're quite reasonable in terms of pricing, but always use your Grab app to check what the price should be and show them the Grab price and...

More than 5 stars. A rare gem of a boutique hotel mere steps away from the beach. Ticks all the right boxes - price, hospitality, design, ambiance.|Stayed 6 nights in both the All Day Blossom (smallest room) and Comfy Lotus (middle category). Highly recommend Lotus for the extra space and relatively more comfortable mattress (you get an option to request a latex pillow). Both room categories (in fact throughout the hotel) offer 4 to 5-star amenities - quality linens, plush towels, Toto Washlet (heated seat), Dilmah tea. The contemporary interior design is well thought out and adds to the 'luxurious', cozy ambiance. Breakfast offers a mini spread covering fruit, cereal, egg station, warm dishes, cold cuts, desserts. The hotel handles airport transfers with its 2 SUVs. There's also an Italian restaurant connected to the hotel. Overall, the service is top notch, from the front office to housekeeping.||The management photos are accurate. Choose rooms on higher floors, facing the rear (overlooking thatched rooftops of luxury villas next door, surrounded with coconut trees with hills in the background) and if you peer out your window, you get a slight...
