Simply put, best place we've stayed while traveling in SEA for past 3 months. We initially booked 3 night but extended to 6. ||This is the best location on the island, you are 4-5 min walk from beach but not paying beach-front prices. The beach it self is one of the best on the island. Side note, you can use the umbrella and chairs in the beach for free, no need to buy anything (which are owned by the Coco Palm Resort). We used them every day and no one hassled or bothered us.||You are close to incredible food. And you are away from the crowds of main town.||The rooms are new and beautiful, great bathroom with great hot water pressure.||The owners are extremely sweet and kind, they want to make sure you are enjoying your self. ||The breakfasts are the best weve had in Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia. Several options to choose from but i always ordered the omelete, fresh bread, coffee, fruit, and a banana pancake - All included in free breakfast. Im not sure if they indend to keep the free pancakes. They started dishing out pancakes to everyone the second morning of our stay and kept yhem coming every morning after :) ||A couple things to be aware of, they want to hold on to your passports while you stay at their guesthouse/hotel. Apparently there are "shake downs" on the island by police and if they cant prove their (the owners) guests they are required to pay a fine - $500.||You will also need to ask to have your room cleaned, they are not proactive in cleaning which is the only reason i gave them a 4/5 on the entire review.||Cheers and enjoy your...

Read moreI’m here on Phu Quoc island for a week. At first I had a very tough time checking in because of the language barrier (but I can’t fault people for not speaking MY language when I’m the foreigner).. the first day I felt a bit trapped in the area and the restaurants all seem overpriced and underwhelming.. the beach close by is alright, but everything else seemed far away. The second day I rented a scooter from the lovely owner and that changed literally everything. This island is wonderful to explore. I may not speak the same language as the owner but she genuinely does seem to care whether my stay is going well or not and the breakfast has been delicious every morning. Simple but delicious. They also take great pride and care in their garden which I think is wonderful. It attracts the biggest bumblebees I’ve ever seen! (Don’t worry, they won’t come near you!) the room is spacious and has a fan as well as AC but often I find the fan to be sufficient. One downside is that there appears to only be cold water. I have yet to have a hot shower which is a bit disappointing. The restaurants in the area are overpriced as I mentioned before but just up the street is a place called ‘tin tins pizza’ which serves more than just pizza and the food is great and the owner is absolutely amazing. So go there to eat! Especially if you love animals or are vegetarian, as the owner himself is vegetarian so I guarantee he’ll make you something good! Anyways, I’d definitely...
