Saigon Phu Quoc Hotel

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!
