Mango Bay Resort

We stayed for a couple days and it was fantastic. The room we had was really an independent house among the trees, with comfortable furniture and really simple decoration. The hotel offered activities such as yoga, kite making... the food was fantastic and the beach is private so not many people were there. Highly recommended.

A very good resort on the beach side. The only problem is there is no phone or mini bar in the room, an ice box is provided in the room for cooling the bottles. You have to purchase ice for the ice box. On the roof of the rooms there are large tyco gecko are living. If you are ready to live with them then it is a very good resort. The staff are very very good and the service is also very good. The private beach is very good and clean. Open bath rooms are very good give us a new feeling. Food at the restaurant is very good but costly. Some construction is going on there so in the day time there are lot of noise and trucks are always on the private road. Not to much light in the night. They will provide a torch for the use. If you stay more than three days they will provide you an airport free drop. My special thanks to all the staff in the resort for such a good service provided.

Wow what a stay! I honestly couldn't recommend Mango Bay enough. We were picked up at the airport by Mango Bay and brought straight to resort. All staff from start to finish were absolutely incredible and so friendly. I would particularly like to point out Kite from the activities centre. His smile was infectious, every time we passed him he was so welcoming and friendly. We were shown to our beautiful bungalow, the rooms are simple and refreshing and perfect for relaxing. The outdoor bathroom and shower were amazing too. We visited in late August and the resort was calm and tranquil. We done Tai Chai and yoga on the ocean front which were both so relaxing and well taught. You can also have a massage in an hut overlooking the ocean, lounge on beach chairs or do activities from the activities centre. You might also spot some of the local wild life around the resort! The food was very good - particularly the breakfast (you don't want to miss that!). We booked a tour of the island with reception which was great, it was a private driver who drove just the two of us around the island. You have the option of doing either a visit to the North or South of the island. If you are visiting Phu Quoc I highly recommend staying at the Mango Bay Resort.

We stayed there for 2 nights, we absolutely love the urban detoxing. The sound of the ocean, open bath, living in a wilderness was refreshing. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We appreciate their approach of eco friendliness. Though sleeping under a net was a bit suffocating for me, but that will save you from getting bitten. The beach is well kept and plenty of other activities. Overall it was breathtakingly beautiful and relaxing.

Eco resort located right on the beach, very nice and helpful staff, great breakfast and good restaurant, though prices are high for Vietnam standards. Yoga and taichi classes, bikes and snorkeling material are offered for free, as well as volley balls and other beach material. Each room has anti mosquitos spray available, beach towels and a beach bag. The private beach is well taken care of, but there are lots of litter if you walk outside the hotel property.

I visited mango bay in early August with my sister. We booked to stay there for 4 nights after the resort was recommended to me by a friend. When we arrived, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The cabin was well appointed and beautifully decorated. However, what we didn’t know before arriving was that there are no proper windows on the cabins- the only thing separating you from the elements are open wooden shutters with gaps of about 4cm between the slats, leaving you very open to the elements. The food in the restaurant was nice, the breakfast was great and I couldn’t recommend the massages in the spa more. However, a bad storm hit on our second day and this seemed to encourage an array of wildlife to shelter in our hut- including a snake, a number of large geckos and a huge spider. We were terrified and didn’t sleep at all. We didn’t feel comfortable staying another night so we left after 2 nights. I’m sure this wouldn’t be as much of an issue in fine weather but I think it’s important to know that it’s a possibility before booking, it should be made a lot clearer by the resort.

My friend and I stayed at Mango Bay in the rainy month of September. It’s a gorgeous resort with lush landscaping, cute villas and a wonderful outdoor bathroom (we had a bonus frog visitor too). Even though snorkelling was out of the question, we found plenty to do. The breakfasts at the resort are terrific. And the one dinner we had was also very impressive (the sun set included). I like how the promise of eco-tourism was actually practiced: jugs of water instead of bottles, cool boxes instead of mini bars. However, I wasn’t so good with the heat (I repurposed the cool packs from the cool box each night by wrapping it in a towel and using it as a pillow).

Mango Bar Resort is an incredibly eco conscious resort. The staff are happy and kind, the grounds are luscious and well cared for, and there is magical beach in each direction. Even in the windy low season (with the odd downpoor and thunderstorm), I was in complete comfort in this location. Their dedication to eliminating single-use plastic is refreshing and inspiring. They supply filtered water rather than plastic bottled water, which I particularly appreciated after staying at a number of other places around Phu Quoc that only had plastic bottled water available as the only safe drinking option. Ensure that you spend a few extra dollars and book into a bungalow. I booked a Superior Seaview Veranda Double Room, which initially was perfect, until the guests staying in the room next door arrived. There is no noise cancellation between the rooms, and you can hear everything within the room next door. It was a shame, as the room, bed, semi outdoor bathroom and the incredible veranda with hammock were very satisfying for the price prior to this. I did mention my concern about the noise bleed to staff but they were at lost at how to assist. The food is amazing, although lunch/dinner is a little on the expensive side for Phu Quoc. If you're on a budget, make the most of the incredible breakfast options and then dine at one of the resorts nearby for other meals.

Huts scattered alongside the coastline - set back and somewhat higher to ensure a good sea-view. Loungers and hammocks. Two beaches. Two beach-houses (one being enlarged and restored at this very moment - which doesn’t create any issues). Food to die for. And best of all - friendly staff! Would love to come here again!
