Amarin Resort & Spa Phu Quoc

The only thing I'd praise about this hotel is the amazing breakfast. It was beyond excellent! Everything else, however, needs significant improvements. The rooms and facilities are very old (especially the plumbing); it was unpleasant to even touch the faucets. The check-in staff were unwelcoming. After interacting with the female receptionist, I just wanted to leave the hotel as soon as possible. I do not recommend it!

The hotel is quite close to the airport, and the breakfast was delicious. However, the facilities are a bit old, and there was a strong smell in the room, although it was clean.

Overall, I'm very satisfied! The price was right, offering great value for money. Airport Pick-up: I contacted the hotel in advance to book their pick-up service. The driver was waiting for me at the airport exit, holding a sign with my name on it. I spotted him right after stepping out of the airport. The pick-up was seamless! Front Desk: Upon entering the hotel, I was offered a welcome drink, which was delicious. The front desk staff member's English accent was a bit strong, but when I didn't understand, she patiently re-explained and even wrote things down for me. The entire process was very pleasant. Buffet Breakfast: The hotel's breakfast buffet offered a wide and varied selection. It made me want to wake up early every day just for breakfast. Surroundings: Right next to the hotel is a mud spa. Just a short walk away, there's a bus stop, as well as a supermarket and places to rent motorbikes. The hotel also has a free beach area and a swimming pool, plus a small garden perfect for photos. Guest Room: It was spacious and very clean. I booked a sea-view room, and I could see the ocean perfectly from my balcony, with no obstructions. The view was absolutely beautiful.

The facilities are a bit old, but it was the cheapest hotel with a sea view I could find. The furniture and bathroom fixtures are quite dated, but at least it was clean. You'll need to take a taxi to get around; we only walked to a massage parlor. For other things like food, you definitely need a taxi as there aren't many restaurants or shops clustered nearby. The mud bath is right next door, and the breakfast was indeed plentiful and very satisfying!

The breakfast was delicious and the ambiance was lovely.
