We spent about 6 nights here and enjoyed the beach and the location. Of all the beach front hotels, we thought this one had the best setting. The gardens and the two swimming pools are a delight. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are fairly rustic and if there was one thing that slightly let it down it was the puny shower, but overall we really enjoyed our stay.

We spent two weeks in Vietnam over the Thanksgiving 2011 holiday, with the first four nights at Cassia Cottage. We found the staff to be truly welcoming and eager to help with any question or request. While some have a limited knowledge of English, we found that those in direct contact with guests spoke and understood, but were really only having difficulty with our American accents!

We stayed in a beach house directly behind the main pool and it was very clean, and comfortable by Phu Quoc standards. My only disappointment was that the air conditioner does not run during the hottest part of the day, but since the only reason for staying there is the beach, it wasn't that important. The room had a great ceiling fan which was helpful. You will also want to bring your own soap, which is to be expected anywhere in Vietnam except international hotels.

During our stay, they were building the second pool, entirely by hand. We watched them level and smooth the soil, lay the tile piece by piece, chop the rock-hard soil by hand, haul landscaping stone fhundreds of feet from the road by wheel barrow, and work the entire day in the sun with few breaks. Everthing was done by hand, with hand tools and they made virtually no noise. They were just filling it when we left so if you visit, imagine building that in five days!

The breakfast each day was wonderful with fresh fruit and bread, homemade yogurt, eggs, cheese, meat, and always a Vietnamese staple such as pho. We never needed lunch. The free afternoon cocktails were a nice treat and were always made with fresh fruit. Dinner was very good and very authentic, especially the grill nights on the beach.

The hotel beach was very, very clean and had nice padded wooden lounges with large umbrellas. The ocean/gulf was awesome with the warmest water I have ever experienced. According to the staff, there are no jelly fish on that side of the island and we saw no creatures other than the many sand and hermit crabs. That side of the island is also very quiet so lounging was peaceful.

Staying on Phu Quoc was a great introduction to Vietnamese life and we will stay at Cassia Cottage again if we return. We walked the length of the beach and into town and no other resort or hotel looked as nice.

A beautiful small ressort with nice garden and pools. restaurant with seaview and many quiet tables in the garden. food is good but not excellent though breakfast is really great. nice clean bungalows in the garden, with big bathroom, bed with mosquito net and aircon. Lovely beach. Only detail to critisize is that beach towels and some of the sunbeds seem a bit old and could be renewed to fit the charming ressort.

We have been staying 6 nights at Cassia Cottage for the 4th time. Everything was just perfect - as usual. This time we stayed 3 nights at the garden cottage for the first time (we usually stay at the Beach House) and we can say that the Garden Cottage is a bit smaller, but still nicely decorated and spacious enough and it is more private than the Beach House.
There is a new pool, so now there is 2 pools + the beautiful beach a few steps from the garden, so with only 18 rooms there is never crowded in the water:) And you can always find a sun bed, hammock or chair, whatever you prefer. Still free drinks in the afternoon and the food is still great and not expensive.
We HIGHLY recommend Cassia Cottage and will surely go there again whenever we need to relax a few days. Or explore the few corners of Phu Quoc we haven´t seen yet.
Best wishes to all you great people at Cassia - and see you:)
