Description
Set on a large block, the grounds here are lush more by accident than design and while the rooms are mostly just adequate, they're nevertheless very well-priced for those on a budget. Their beachfront rooms are a particular low season bargain, though in high season they're not such good value. Kim Nam Phuong has a pleasant family atmosphere and a little English is spoken here. Cheapest rooms are in a longhouse set-up.

Great Value & Very Friendly Staff - 
By davio ( total comments: 8

I stayed at Kim Nam Phuong for a week, and wish I could have stayed even longer (I called Vietnam Airlines to change my departure date once - it's easy, with no service fee.) As mentioned above, my room was adequate, with a good-sized bed, fan and cold water (you don't need hot water on Phu Quoc), plus TV. The great thing is that my room was about 20 meters from the beach, yet was only US$7! Plus the staff is fantastic - mostly young folk who speak a decent amount of English, and are very eager to meet and interact with their guests. There are bikes and motos for rent, but not many. The food is good at fair prices. If you want more variety in your meals, Su's Cafe is very nice, also with a friendly staff, and it is a three-minute walk from KNP. While you're lounging on the nice piece of beach fronting KNP, look for a masseuse named Long (Luong?). She has hands of steel, and will get your knots out for - are you ready? - 50,000 VND/hour. That's US$3.12. I did a dive to the North (Turtle Island), and it was disappointing. Low visibility, and not much to see anyway. I went with Rainbow Divers, who were very professional and equally friendly. Word is that diving is better to the south (out-of-season when I was there), but I'd just save it for Thailand. Why dive anyway, when you've got a tan to work on? Everyone who was staying at KNP were in great spirits - probably because of the great deal we were getting! Stay there - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Beach Club
Long Beach, Phu Quoc Island
Beach Club is the last off the rank along Phu Quoc's Long Beach and it's very much a case of saving the best till last. Hosts Mike and Thien are really welcoming and run a great little homely guesthouse. There's just a handful of really well-sized bungalows along with a row of rooms in a longhouse... more
Coco Beach
Long Beach, Phu Quoc Island
This is a great little Thai-style beach bungalow outfit. The smart little brick and wood bunaglows have good hammock-friendly balconies, all set just behind Rainbow Bar. While the huts are just off the beach, the water is but a hop skip and a jump away. Very friendly English-speaking staff and a... more
Hiep Thanh
Long Beach, Phu Quoc Island
There's two styles of accommodation available at the Hiep Thanh Hotel, Chinese style hotel fare and large, quite well-appointed bungalows, though they could do with a few more windows. Partly squashed in behind Cassia Cottage, the resort still has some beachfront available. For the money, the... more
Lam Ha
Long Beach, Phu Quoc Island
Another lime-green affair, Lam Ha has simple rooms and bungalows spread across some lush grounds. There's no beachfront here and the lower rates reflect it. The bungalows come with kitchettes, so if you happen to be travelling with your own stove, you're in luck. Friendly, but very little English... more
