Salinda Resort Phu Quoc Island

I always enjoy reading lengthy, descriptive reviews that truly give me a feel for what I am getting myself into—so, here is my best attempt. Complimentary Hotel Shuttle: After a short 1 hour flight from Ho Chi Minh, my boyfriend and I arrived in Phu Quoc(we were told it’s pronounced “fu cook”). When we hopped off the plane we were immediately greeted by a very kind staff member who showed us to the shuttle. As soon as we buckled up they handed us each an ice cold water bottle, which was welcomed in the 80° F weather. Arrival: After a quick 5 minute drive, we arrived to the hotel. Which, let me just tell you, blew our minds. It was so beautiful, clean and the architecture so modern. The staff all greeted us with a warm welcome and delicious complimentary drinks! They asked us if we had any food allergies, to which we informed them we were both lactose intolerant. Then we went up to our 3rd floor room! Our room: It overlooked the ocean, and had an arming bathtub with a window you could open so you could have the sea view. There was welcome snacks for us in the room as well. The room looked just like the pictures, if not better. Breakfast: Okay, so here is where they really went above and beyond! They have this giant buffet, which is nothing like normal buffets—it is elegant and plentiful. They have a serve yourself waffle/crepes/pancake station, but since those things are normally cooked with milk my boyfriend and I were bummed. So instead, we filled up on fresh squeezed orange juice, bacon, dragon fruit, papaya, and made to order eggs. To our surprise, without us asking anything they came to our table with crepes and waffles made with soy milk! None of the other places we have been to on our Asia trip had been so accommodating, so you can see why this made us so happy. The pool: My boyfriend and I woke up each morning, had breakfast, then explored the city for a few hours.

Excellent hospitality.

I loved everything from its location, staff, food, facilities and environment. The staff was always friendly and met your needs, quick on replies such as emails, there is a private car just to take you around the island for 4-8hrs at a reasonable price, room was clean and overall the team does a great job in making you feel at home and comfortable

I wish I could of stayed longer!

Overall excelent. The beach was not perfectly clean, but not as dirty as expected from the comments.

Hell expensive plain water on the dinner (when watter botles were free all the time)

The breakfast was exceptional with a lot of choices and had great seating/view too. The pool and beach area staff were extremely helpful and quick. The rooms and corridors were beautiful! The staff at the reception was very helpful and recommended restaurants, excursions and booked them for us too. They upgraded us to a nicer room free of cost and we also requested them to change the dates of our booking (non-refundable booking) very last minute due to flight issues (With the help of booking.com) they showed their hospitality and exceeded our expectations without charging us the penalty!

We were not given a late check-out till 2 pm instead of 12 as they were fully booked which is understandable i guess but then they let us use their facilities till our flight time at 8 pm!

Staff and every thing are OK. Meals are good.

The password for WIFI is long and clumsy. It should be short and simple. Ideally one time of WIFI registration for the whole time that someone staying in the premise.
