I just landed here and will be 3 days
Just was there for a week. It is nothing special.
I love Phu Quoc personally for a family trip so much on offer safe and affordable and beautiful
Absolutely
Nope
No, it’s a complete dump. Spend what time you have elsewhere
No.
Spent almost 2 weeks here, chilling and exploring the island beaches, massages on the beach, sunsets. There are bicycles to hire, buses, scooters – whatever you prefer. Cool evening and hot days. Just make sure you pick the right accommodation! Mine was away from the main road, inside lush tropical forest where I was just laying in the hammock half a day. Don’t get why people come here and expect the Maldives. Peace.
Hell no. Most restaurants are overpriced. For 250,000 dongs you’ll get three unpeeled shrimp with poop still inside, smelling like mud because nobody feels like cleaning them. Most Vietnamese people spend their time on TikTok and don’t really feel like working. The only thing they have is the beach, where they dump sewage, yet they charge tourists $300–400 per night for beachfront hotels. Instead of paying for proper sewage disposal, they only remove the solid waste, and the urine and dirty water flow through pipes straight into the sea. That’s probably why it smells bad and is constantly polluted, and in some places it smells so much like sewage that it feels risky to swim. On top of that, there’s trash everywhere and stray dogs.
Spent a week there and loved it , hired a bike and visited loads of places
