Clean room/house, really big and the decor felt authentic, the staff was so friendly and helpful. Amazing pool and beach area. Will be coming back. Definitely recommend.
Yes the rooms were clean, private pool was well maintained. Staff was really polite and helpfull. Lisa helped us plan a great breakfast with private chefs and Tony arranged good activities and transportation for us
The hotel was beautiful and in a wonderful location. It was very quiet. We stayed in one of the rooms by the beach and the view was spectacular, especially of the sunsets each day.
Service was a bit slow in the restaurant but breakfast was self serve and well stocked.
Would highly recommend this hotel

It was really nice to have a swimming pool and beach right in front of me, and the coffee at breakfast was really delicious.
Please tell me the name of the coffee.
The room we stayed in was a little old, but the other rooms seemed to be remodeling in sequence.
If I go again, I will stay again.
It s a very nice hotel; however, it is getting a bit old. The rooms are extra comfortable and it is very quiet. We were at the hotel not the villas. The view is spectacular specially to watch the sunsets. The cleanliness could be improved and the towels provided could be less harsh.
The set up is also very nice except for the beach; it is very small and you can’t take a walk.
The food is good but can be improved. All the staff were very nice. I still recommend that place. We slept like babies!
The view from this property is stunning. The pool is huge and faces the beach. We rented a bike at the property itself for a decent amount. They also provide cabs at the same fare as Grab taxis. However this is a resort and hence is only for those who like a little peace and quiet.
Food could be priced a little lower.

The staff are very nice and helpful. Breakfasts are delicious. The room we booked 4 nights with private pool, and last only for 2 nights. Then, they moved us to another room which was different. In the end, they tried to fix things but it’s not same.

Resort condition
Most of the facilities of this resort are not working. Some swing pools were closed and there is no refrigerator in the room. The beach was not clean.

Great resort design with layout, beautiful surrounding and private beach. Staff are helpful. Room is very roomy. Breakfast is very good. Love the BBQ dinner outdoor. Things need to be taken into attention is facility update and services. It is sad to see this beautiful resort goes under maintenance and services. Many doors hinges a loose and items are falling off like toilet paper holders...
The Shells is a very nice sea side resort. The pool is beautiful and beach access is convenient and clean. Our bungalow was large and well appointed. It had a shower and separate tub. Lots of storage room. We were a short walk to both pools and restaurants.
Although all of the staff were friendly, we did find the service to be slow, especially while utilizing the lounge chairs. Service at the bar was pretty much non existent. The system of having to wave a red flag to get service is terrible; I once waved the flag for twenty minutes and finally gave up. The lunch and dinner food was good. The breakfast provided many options and was also good, but get there early as they tend to stop making things by the end.
My villa room was huge & looked comfy! However, my blanket was discovered dirty and towels on the third day were also soiled. Property is dated and furnishings are old. Aircon in the Flow Restaurant was not working during my entire stay. Don't expect top-notch service from the staff; if they ever greet you a "Good morning" or "Hello", that's the best they can do.
Property is about 15-20 mins ride away from the town area, and it's not possible to walk out to the main road. Only 1 restaurant is available for lunch & dinner, and food options are limited. Breakfast spread is considered normal. Fortunately, it's still affordable to get a ride to town and night market area.
It's a good resort away from the hustle and bustle of life cos their villa room is big, the property is huge with lots of greenery and they have their own private beach, though next time, I would just stay for 2 nights only.
The Shells has really lovely staff and a 24/7 buggy service to get around the resort (from pools to room or restaurants/reception). However, the resort rooms lack cleanliness as the once beautiful white tiles have a yellow tinge to it. I sympathise with the choice of white as Phu Quoc can get very hot and white is less likely to retain the heat. I trust that they are clean, however, upon first glance, feel a little put off. The rooms are spacious and the pool is nice to use. 2/3 of the pools were under maintenance and I believe that they will reopen at the end of 2024. The shells is a decent stay, however I don’t believe it is still the 5 star resort it once was.

The property was not as advertised. This could have been due to it being off peak season. Our room phone was broken so we couldn’t order room service as was our tv. The garden maintenance around our villa was poor. There is no sand at the beach. There is only one restaurant. Food was ok. The breakfast variety was ok also. Please note that this villa is far from anywhere. Took us 30 mins to get to grand world and casino and restaurants were also far. There was zero entertainment. They played music at the pool twice during our stay. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again.
The best thing about this resort was it's staff. The resort itself was advertised as a 4 to 5 Star resort. given my extensive travel I would rate this resort in its current condition with consideration of the staff only a one star. place is run down outdated room decor in dire need on a complete refurbishing. You can not make something old, dirty damaged unkept any different except when taking photos from a distance that will not show up the problems as they have done in their presentation. The management spoke to us before we left and asked us for some feedback and we gave them the exact same response as above. We respectfully told them that unless things change dramatically we could not see ourselves returning even though the location is great.

Lovely spacious villa with pool just outside our door. This resort could easily be 5 star with some extra TLC. The pathways need some maintenance. The gardeners need some modern equipment like edgers and metal brushes to clean the pools. The breakfast was nice. Fruit spectacular. The beach is quite dirty, like most of the beaches in Phu Quoc. The resort is about 10 mins drive from the town centre, which is a good thing! Town centre reminded me of Bali 20 years ago!
