Saigon Phu Quoc Hotel
***
Phu Quoc - Kien Giang - Vietnam
This beachside resort is splashy, if a bit gaudy. Despite that (or perhaps because of it!) it is popular as a honeymoon destination for Vietnamese couples. The problem is that it doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the island.
The 12 seaside villas are the best bet. They ring a beautiful swimming pool which is the resort's courtyard centerpiece, giving the main building a French colonial-style mansion feel. The service here couldn't be friendlier and efficient, surprising for a state-owned enterprise. Other amenities include a karaoke club, massage parlor, and satellite TV. Oh yeah - and the nightly disco cruise which you can hear up and down the beach!
We think the Saigon Phu Quoc is best suited to the package tour crowd to whom it caters. Other travelers may want to look further.
