Salinda Resort Phu Quoc - Sparkling Wine Breakfast

The breakfast is superb and so are the pool area as well as the tropical garden. We were given a room with a beautiful sea view and enjoyed our balcony a lot.

The resort is great, although we lacked some entertainment in the evening. Unfortunately the beaches on the island are very dirty and full of garbage. The beach in front of the hotel was not much better, although this depends on the day and the weather -- we were told that it is "normal" to find garbage on the beach after heavy rain (!). We did not swim in the sea for fear of getting sick with e.coli.

The resort is amazing. Even though it is close to the airport, we didn't experience any issue with noise. When we arrived at the airport, someone was waiting for us and got us to the hotel in about 10 minutes. The rooms are spacious and modern. We had a room with a sea view which was great. There is a nice pool but even better beach and the water in the ocean is very warm. We could also use a canoe for free. There are three different restaurants in the resort itself, all rated very well. We only tried one but the other ones looked great as well. The breakfast offered plenty of different choices, there was live piano player and sparkling wine. The staff of the hotel are very friendly, provide excellent service and don't bother the guests at all. This is definitely a gem on the island, totally recommend it.

There is literally nothing we did not like.

We stayed at three resorts during our trip to Phu Quoc and the Salinda was the one that felt most like a standard hotel although the room was very comfortable and the garden areas created a pleasant atmosphere, particularly in the evening. The location is not too bad but not really within walking distance of the town’s main shops and restaurants. The beach is a bit narrow but enjoys good shade. it’s good value and the staff are great. It just lacked that unique aspect that made the other hotels we stayed at stand out.

Great location for phu quoc - plenty of places to eat just outside the hotel, supermarkets etc Short taxi ride to the night market . We booked sea view with balcony- worth the extra if you can. Such a joy to wake up and sit out with that view Hotel and staff are fantastic. We loathe huge resorts with a corporate feel this hotel is large enough yet with a boutique bespoke feeling. Piano at breakfast excellent touch. Beach clean and well maintained Pool area plenty of beds Gym decent 10/10!

We loved our stay here right from the airport pick up to the return shuttle back to the airport. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is plentiful in its variety and dishes are refilled. Unlimited sparkling wine at breakfast that was liberally topped up frequently. Specious pool that’s the right height for swimming or just standing in with a cocktail which the pool bar has many good ones. This is an excellent spot for sunset. We stayed in two different rooms during our stay, both were impeccably decorated and what you’d expect staying in more well known 5 star hotels.

“Happy hour” spa prices were still extortionately priced. There is a fun, high quality hidden bar across the street but not much else in the neighborhood.

I really enjoyed the aesthetics of the resort. The room is spacious and beautiful. The staff is friendly.

The beach was filthy. My husband and I spent 2 hours picking up trash in the ocean. I understand that waste management is a larger issue in Phu Quoc, but the fact that a beach at a 5-star resort was dirty is, to me, unacceptable. Some of the staff did not speak English.

Exceptional service at all levels. Probably, the best breakfast we have ever had, and it is not only about the food but also about an atmosphere. Really good cafe near the swimming pool for lunch option- we liked it more that the famous hotel restaurants. Staff support with excursions, readiness to help with every request. Many useful things in the room, including the beach bag and shoes. Very pleasant beach and entrance to the see.

The rooms are pretty basic. Some services, like massage, are overpriced: 90 min massage cost is above 100 EUR, though it is really good. The Indian and Italian restaurants are good but not excellent. All prices are indicated in net; so be ready to pay +15% more. Rooms with hills view actually look at the road, which is not visible but audible.

This place is a paradise, I have travelled the world and been in many luxury hotels, but the people and the service here is like none other, the managers are so hands on and friendly, always wanting to talk and check everything is ok, the managers even took us to one of the 3 restaurants for dinner twice, making us feel very loved. They assisted us with anything we needed and went above and beyond to help, they helped me with transportation to Cambodia, buying the ship tickets Ect. All the staff are friendly and kind and they became our friends. Hotel is very clean, with big beautiful rooms an amazing pool/beach area. Hotel provides live music every night, the singer and band are incredible. Our buffet meal on the beach with live music, we will never forget. Hands down one of the best hotels we have been to, simply because of the service provided, we will definitely be back. Tia was amazing at the bar, always smiling and happy

we had to leave

Wow!! Heaven on earth. Great location; we were looking for 6 days of sunshine and rest after two weeks of Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An and HCMC. We found it here in Phu Quoc. Absolutely superb pool / beach area with the most attentive pool / sunbed guys ever. Our room was fantastic. Bed and pillows 10 out 10. Breakfast top class with incredible choice. We also went for the Indian special dinner which turned out to be, probably, the best Indian meal we've ever had. Stay here and you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Paulo for his help and support also!

Reception Team a little "distant" - not as friendly and warm as all the other reception teams we met during our stay.

Everything! From the moment you arrive at the hotel until the moment you leave, you feel welcomed and special. The hotel is well positioned for you to explore Phu Quoc Island (highly recommend you download the Grab app) and the facilities are more than adequate (good size pool w/ plenty of sun lounges nearby or on the beach, kids club, pool table x 2 etc). Breakfast selection is perfect and you never have to wait for a table. They have a live acoustic duo playing by the pool each evening (from 5pm) and another band in their High Note Bar, covering all your classic hits, so you don't have to leave the hotel if you wish to spend a nice evening on site. However, what makes this hotel special are the staff. My wife accidentally left AUD $600 in an envelope in our room and they called me just in the nick of time, and drove back out to the airport to drop it off for me. I will forever remember this and will be loyal to Salinda purely based on this act of honesty.

I wish I had stayed longer!
