Cassia Cottage

Where do I start, we loved every minute of our stay at Cassia Cottage. The staff were so friendly & welcoming, I can't remember all their names but they made us feel so special & went above & beyond. I remember Thi who was so attentive at breakfast & helped with my gluten free requirements, she was so professional. The owner & his son welcomed us when we arrived & were on site every day, they too were so accommodating & friendly. Our accommodation was beautiful, overlooking the pool with a sea view, I would sit on the patio with a coffee in the morning watching the fishing boats & listening to the waves whilst soaking up the beautiful surroundings, pure bliss. Watching the sunset from the beach bar was breath taking, most evenings a singer performed on the lawn by the beach bar, which made it even more special. The breakfast was extensive with so much choice of fresh produce on offer. We ate at the restaurant a few evenings, each time the food was to an exceptional standard & so much variety to choose from. The location was perfect, straight onto the beach & only a short amble up to the restaurants & shops on the island. We had the most perfect stay, thank you to everyone at Cassia Cottage for making our holiday so special.

This place is amazing! Perfect central location in Duong Dong and beachfront hotel, near restarurants, shops/supermarkets and a bus stop. Breakfast is very various with a wide food/drink options. Perfect customer service, a place itself looks like a garden! Great facilites with pools, beach restaurant and another one which is perfect for a dinner. Room was very spacious, clean and with great interior. For sure if we travel to Phu Quoc, we will choose Cassia Cottage! Thank you so much!

There is no such a thing! All is perfect! :)

We had room 1D, a Standard Double Room with Sea View. It’s not right on the beachfront but overlooks the immaculately kept gardens and the beach, which you can glimpse through the palm trees. But be warned: Rooms 1A to 1D have a shared terrace and are right next to the children’s pool, so if you’re looking for total seclusion you may not get it. However, our neighbours were lovely (Swedish couple who have booked the same room every year for 11 years!!) and we were not troubled by noisy nippers during our stay. The private beach has soft sand and is kept spotless, with comfy sun loungers and big umbrellas. Palm-shaded garden area behind has beautiful plants, tinkling streams and rock gardens, hammocks, and big round beds with cushions, plus a small beach bar (which opens only from 4pm to 6pm - should be longer IMHO). On the beach next to the bar, a trio of local ladies not connected to Cassia Cottage offered by far the best and cheapest massages we found during our three weeks in Vietnam - the wife went 3 times in 2 days and paid only 200,000 dong for an hour of full body/head massage with liberal application of oils and aloe vera. They were amazing. The hotel’s Spice House restaurant is in a lovely colonial-style building with large terraced area outside overlooking the main pool. Breakfast and dinner were invariably excellent, with massive choice of Asian and western foods. Staff were lovely and even organised us a taxi to nearest opticians at 9pm for an emergency spectacles repair! We loved Cassia Cottage. It’s not cheap by Vietnam standards but you get what you pay for. We’re already planning a return visit - and will definitely be taking at least 6 days next time (see below)

The only disappointment was that we initially booked 6 nights but then had to reduce it to 2 nights - and the room rate was doubled!!

That is a very calm and wonderful place, which has own beach. Not only the beach, but also the pools area is very nice and peaceful. When you are walking on the park of the Cottage, you feels like in a small jungle. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. We are sure that our room was larger than it was advertised (more than 23 m2). The breakfast was also very good (Vietnamise, Continental and English breakfast, as well). Just about 200 meters there is a main street with lots of restaurants. On the way to the main street there was a very good Restaurant (Sunlight) where fresh grilled seafood was always available. Although we booked this accomodation for 3 nights, we extended our stay there for 2 more nights.

Amazing property - a former spice traders plantation. The owner has managed to create a wonderful setting, full of character, in a relaxed setting with a very chilled vibe. It’s a boutique eco-friendly sustainable property, which never feels busy and a place where you can fully unwind. The staff are amazing and the restaurant is one of the best on the island.

Absolutely nothing …

Everything is exceptional!! Starting from the people, check-in, housekeep, bar, restaurant, maintenance, everyone's so friendly. Location fantastic, very quite and on the beach. Also close to the main city. Breakfast simply amazing with great variety and fresh fruit, baked goods, amazing bread home-made and traditional vietnamease food too

Sunbeds on the beach side need an upgrade/replacement

Loved location, as directly on beach. Great garden space in and around property with a cacophony of frogs, toads, crickets at night. Rooms & bathrooms spacious, beds comfortable & great shower. Restaurant food excellent. Mark & staff all very attentive & welcoming..... Lots of restaurants, shops within walking distance. Overall very happy and hope to return.

Some beach beds need replacing.

The resort itself is beautiful. Gorgeous landscaping, maintained well. The pools were always clean and it was clear that management put a lot of care into the property. Restaurant and reception staff were excellent - very helpful and friendly. Good cocktails at the bar and nice restaurant food. When the weather was good we really enjoyed iced coffee, fresh juice and cocktails by the pool. Special thanks to Xay, Phuong, Sang and Anh in The Spice House!

It's not the fault of the resort, but they are still recovering from the coronavirus slowdown, so visitors may find that the place isn't quite as lively as it may seem in the photos (we also visited in low season, which would have affected our impression). For example, The Malabar was closed the whole time we were there. This wasn't a problem, but it might be useful for other travellers to know what to expect. Undoubtedly, this situation won't be unique to Cassia Cottage, and I think they've actually done a good job of keeping up standards in low season, with fewer international guests than normal.

Everything. It feels like an oasis. The grounds are beautiful, with mature vegetation and kept with utmost care. The breakfast buffet is outstanding and the restaurant offers great food for lunch and dinner. The hotel is very close to other restaurants and services, from laundry to ATMs. The staff are simply amazing. We loved our stay and cannot imagine staying anywhere else if we went back to Phu Quoc.

Everything was perfect from our perspective. Rooms do not have a TV. This was a plus for us, but may be a down for some folks. Internet connection is great, so we were able to watch Netflix if we were in the mood.

Stunning resort. Our stay was our final destination travelling 3 weeks in Vietnam, we wanted to relax before returning home. Cassia was just the place to do that. The grounds are beautiful and very well taken care of. The beach is clean and perfect for swimming. Pool areas are great and very relaxing. The breakfast is excellent, something for everyone. We ate in the restaurant one night and it was very good, would highly recommend. Great Customer Service and the staff are brilliant. Would like to give a shout out to Ahn; we had a minor issue on our first day and Ahn was very professional in resolving it. Thanks Ahn you made our holiday
