I went to Phu Quoc last year and stayed at the supposedly second best hotel (Peppercorn) on the island. My wife and I were extremely disappointed in the whole 5-night experience. Maybe if we had stayed somewhere like a JW our view of the island would be different. There are not many paved roads on the island and the beaches & water are not clean. We rented a motorbike the whole time and drove across a hell of a lot of the island. I took a dip once out in front of Rory's and felt like I had a film of filth over my body. There was massive construction going on in several places. I love Vietnam, but swore I would never go back to Phu Quoc after last year's experience.
