Tropicana Resort Phu Quoc

Frommer's Review

One of the earliest resorts on Phu Quoc (even before Saigon Phu Quoc), the Tropicana is still the best. The formula is simple: A beachside location with simple, tidy bungalows set near the beach, around a pool, or in a shaded, grassy courtyard away from the water. The restaurant is worth a visit -- no matter where you stay -- and the hotel service is friendly and efficient. The rooms are small but cozy, with clean white tile and small, simple tile bathrooms. Best are the thatch-shaded terra-cotta tile balconies with cane chairs. The $38 (£21) standard rooms are the most economical and the most compact, comfortable, and romantic. Budget rooms in older room blocks are not worth the savings (kind of gritty). I like the rooms that are farther from the beach, which are shaded and very quiet. There's a good "can-do" attitude among staff, and they can arrange any eventuality on the island.
