Herring Beach Hotel Phu Quoc

The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Everyday House Keeping which is really nice. Near the beach and the place is really secured everywhere there’s a CCTV. The only disadvantage of the area was it has few restaurants to choose from.

For the price in this area I really can’t complain. The hotel was very nice and everything was clean. They cleaned my room every day and overall the stay was really comfortable. I was moved to another property nearby, which was a little farther from the beach than the one I originally booked, but it was still close to the sea and it wasn’t a problem for me. The staff also replied quickly whenever I had a question or needed something, which I really appreciated. They also offer laundry service and the price is very reasonable. The area is super quiet, so if that’s what you’re looking for it’s a good choice. I’d recommend bringing some cash because not many places nearby accept cards. Prices around here are also maybe 40% higher than in the center, but for me the peace and quiet made it worth it. There’s a small market nearby that stays open until around 11:30 pm and accepts cards. They provide shampoo but only a small amount, so I’d probably bring my own shampoo and conditioner if you’re staying several days. The WiFi can be a little slow, although I think this is more an issue with the area or the island than with the hotel itself. If you need to work and have video calls or meetings, just keep that in mind. When not many people were using it, it worked fine for me. Overall everything was very good. Clean, quiet, comfortable and good value for the area. 10/10 for me.

Awesome value for money…great place to stay

I have lived in South Asia for almost 10 years and have travelled it extensively. If you are looking for a true taste of Phu Quoc then this is not the place to stay. Yes it is conveniently located next to a beach, but sun beds are limited and the ones that are there are very expensive to “rent” and the beach itself is dirty in comparison to other beaches on the island. The hotel does not offer breakfast and food options are limited during the day. I stayed for a week and we only got cleaning two times and even with the cleaning, we noticed obviously missed spots that were not cleaned. Lots of the buildings in the area are completely empty and deserted with one of them, even having been destroyed while we were there. On some level, the complex felt like an all inclusive resort, but without any of the services. It has potential, but I struggle to understand the draw that it has for people. The beds were hard and our rooms were not ready for check in at 3 PM. Overall, I would suggest looking elsewhere for the price that we paid as I know you can find better places to stay with breakfast included and nicer beaches in the area. It served its purpose for what we needed, but I would not recommend it for your travels.
