Orig Resort

The location is wonderful, as was my bungalow. Given the climate you're bound to see a few bugs but housekeeping was great and everything is kept clean. As others have said, the staff really do try - there's room for some polishing but they are very receptive if you ask for help. I hate to say it, but as the resort seems to market itself to an international clientele and the "international" language used is English, it would be good if language skills were improved a little. I also saw some staff working at 7am and still at work at 9pm, which makes me wonder about their working conditions. The biggest issue is the food. It's overpriced for Vietnam but that would be fine if there was quality...but it was almost uniformly poor in my 4 days at the resort. I don't eat seafood so it could be there were some good dishes I missed - the balance of the menu appears to be aiming for Western-style food, and there wasn't a single dish which I would call good. I tried a beef stir fry - it was a grilled thin, cheap slice of beef so stringy I had to put in some serious time flossing. No veggies other than a piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato. I tried another beef dish (beef with honey - per the server, a Vietnamese dish) - similar to the first but this time the meat was a garbled mass of grizzle, fat and some stringy meat. The accompanying rice was clearly old - dry and re-heated. The only chicken options are chicken wings. I finally gave in and ordered pizza - the cheese was clearly processed cheese slices melted on top. Gross. On the other hand, the breakfast is fine. The potential of this place is enormous, if they could fix the food issue. Don't try for Western food! If you offered quality Vietnamese options I'm sure it would make a world of difference. BTW - my bungalow had air conditioning so perhaps others do now as well.

Can't ask for more. Stayed here 3 nights over Christmas and it was the best hotel of our two week trip. Sitting on a great beach - best beach any hotel is on that we saw in Phu Quoc (and we checked out a lot of resorts when we rented a motorbike). Cua Can is probably the best beach on Phu Quoc, very big and clean, but there's no resort on it. Che Carol also has a very nice beach, but Eco Beach Resort has a perfect sized and very clean beach that gets Amazing sunsets. Plenty of chairs and hammocks for all the guests to be laying out and not crowd each other. And if you're not into the sand they have a beautiful infinity pool overlooking the ocean! And the wifi works everywhere, even the beach. The staff is attentive throughout the day bringing drinks, food, towels, etc. Just perfect place to catch sun and relax all day. The location I think is perfect, it's away from Duong Dong and all the hustle, but not too far - it's a $10 taxi ride, about 15 minutes. And there's a Great restaurant a 10 minute walk down the road - Sakura. As well as a few other resorts if you want to try a different bar (we actually wanted to stay at Mango Bay as 1st choice but it was booked - we went there one night for the sunset and are very glad we stayed as Eco Beach, Mango Bay is a bit more "rustic" with more trees while Eco Beach has more open areas and looks I think nicer rooms). And the staff are all SUPER helpful. All their english is good enough to sort out whatever we needed, from food to airport transport, to renting a motorbike (and teaching us how to ride it since we never had before), to helping us with a wound after I crashed the bike and gave my girlfriend a burn on her ankle. And they put on a big Christmas Eve dinner with entertainment which they put a lot of effort into and had lots of good food and got all the guests to mingle a bit and gave us a lot of laughs. All the food, including the free breakfast, was quite good, nothing Amazing but all good. As good as any hotel food I know of. If you want to stay in the middle of town and walk to bars and the nigh market then stay in Duong Dong. If you want a quieter vacation where you can taxi to town a few times but mostly relax and enjoy some beautiful quiet scenery (and rent a motorbike to go explore) then Eco Beach resort is Perfect! Best value I've ever had, ever. This place would go for probably $300-$400 a night in United States - and more over Christmas. Can't recommend enough!

This is now the Phu Quoc Eco Beach resort. It is in a secluded location in a very quiet part of Phu Quoc. It's on a Private beach but just at the side is a long virtually deserted stretch of beach and it's like going back in time. The hotel is only accessed by a dirt track and to go anywhere at night requires a torch but its worth it. I read many comments on here about poor service but I found quite the opposite. The staff are locally hired and try really hard and are really genuine. I had a beach front bungalow and it was rustic but so relaxing and right in front of the sea.Nice breakfast but food on the whole was average.
