From the moment you're welcomed by the attentive staff, you'll see how Cassia Cottage goes out of its way to make you feel comfortable. Their villas are a great option for families -- while not cheap, they make you feel right at home, with large living rooms with plush couches and chairs. Rooms are full of quirky details, like model ships and seashell sconces, making them feel like a family holiday home. Though the rooms feel like an offbeat guesthouse, facilities are of a high-end resort. They have a large swimming pool, two computers to access the internet, and a cafe serving gourmet Vietnamese ice cream. Their attractive restaurant features an innovative menu of mostly local dishes. Recommended.

Cassia Cottage reviews

Read 3 opinions from Travelfish readers

Tropical paradise... - 1st July, 2009
Upon arrival we were immediately impressed by the professional yet friendly service. Such a chilled place with wonderful staff, astounding pool, very tasteful cottages within 15m of the beach, impressive local cuisine good selection of beverages and THE most amazing sunsets I have ever seen ……paradise. Whilst a little on the pricier side worth every cent.

Awesome - perfect place to chill out - 9th January, 2009
Would I recommend this hotel? - already have. After the hustle and bustle of six weeks in Asia, this is the perfect place to chill out and unwind before heading home. We stayed for a total of three nights in a fantastic little airconditioned room with an amazing view of the pool, the beach and the fabulous sunsets that the island gets. The hotel is quiet and peaceful and has a section of beach they call their own and look after well. The staff speak good English and are very helpful, Jim [manager] makes his rounds each morning to catch up with all the guests and check everything is OK while they're eating breakfast. The restaurant serves great food [though the service was a little wayward at times] down on the waterfront but the breakfasts are sensational - there is even cereal and marmite for homesick kiwi's!! Book early to guarantee your room, you won't be disappointed.

Chill out, take in the sun and watch the fisherman - 20th December, 2008
We travelled for five weeks in Vietnam and finished off on Phu Quoc at Cassia Cottage. After several weeks of trains, planes, tuk tuks, buses, taxis and the constant honking that is Vietnam, Cassia Cottages was the perfect place to chill out and relax. The grounds and pool area are excellent, the gardeners are constantly at work. Jim, his family and his staff are very professional and friendly. Almost every morning Jim makes his rounds at breakfast to make certain everyone is set for the day. I cant say enough about the staff who always had a hello or good morning. The food was very good and Cassia Cottage is close to several other accomodations that also have excellent food. The beach area in front of Cassia was great; its clean, safe to swim, walk at night and the perfect place to have dinner and watch the sunset.
