Vinpearl Resort & Spa Phu Quoc
They don’t know how to treat the customer. They don’t even tell us about the restaurant or the activity timing. The bus driver is so arrogant that he doesn’t even greet the customers. Overall, it was a very ok experience

Sailing Club Signature Resort Phu Quoc
A very quiet location with a lot of families. The villas are private. However the bedrooms would benefit from soundproofing as the neighbours screaming children could be easily heard when trying to sleep through the night. The staff are lovely, although could be more attentive during the afternoon ...
