Lien Hiep Thanh has bungalows staggered down a stepped terrace running down to the beach. The bungalows have the brick-archway look, which is oddly all the rage on Phu Quoc. Rooms are attractive, with dark wood furnishings, clean bathrooms, and deck chairs on all the porches. Our biggest complaint was the tiny cage holding two stir-crazy monkeys, who paced endlessly during our visit. They're placed right next to the restaurant, but don't seem likely to aid anyone's appetite.

Low season bargain - 4th September, 2009
Stayed there in the low season, the resort was near to empty and the friendly management quoted me 10$ for a seaview cottage if we didn't use aircon and hot water. The place was very clean and the staff always helpful, even though their restaurant is closed, but you can eat to nearby's Nhat Than which was way more crowded.

Nice place, good value - 1st September, 2009
My gf and I stayed here for 2 nights and paid $22 for an aircon beachfront room. The room itself is pretty nice and clean. The bathroom is average. There are some mosquitos but the rooms have nets. Great staff - Our AC broke in the middle of the night and they fixed it the next morning. Also my gf's stomach was hurting and they made her and I some Chao (rice ginger soup) free of charge. The beachfront is nice. Good quality, wood comfortable beach lounge chairs. Clean beach towels stacked neatly next to the outdoor shower. You can get $3 hour massages on the beach. The restaurant is closed during the low season but its right next to la veranda(nicest place on the island) where you can have some excellent meals and even hang by the pool. FYI the monkeys are not there anymore... Great place if you're looking to hang on the beach.

Very nice place, quiet - 1st January, 2010
We paid for a double room $15 (no aircon, no hot water). It was very clean and tidied up daily. They care for the towels and toilet paper. It is a very charming place at the beach which is very clean here. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is not open every day but it offers delicious bbq in the evening. Highly recommended!

Lovely beach, great staff - 14th November, 2009
Went in high season, stayed for 2 nights. Beach club was full, and this guy called John (who runs John's tours) recommended me this place. They had one room left, and it had no aircon and no hot water, so I got it at a discount price of 20USD (normal price 35USD). The staff Chien and Won were both very helpful and friendly. I would definitely come back here again in the future.
