Absolutely everything. I loved the location, the views, the food, the staff, and my bungalow. It is quiet and away from civilization, which is what I wanted. Son, the owner, was sooooo nice and accommodating. After traveling all of Vietnam for three weeks, this was the perfect way to end my holiday. I will definitely come back! Thank you for the best experience ever thanks 🙏🏼

Absolutely nothing

If total relaxation is what you desire , surround by the sound of the waves , sand between your toes and hospitality that far exceeds any I have ever experienced, this is the place for you . The food is tasty and a great variety freshly prepared and served by the family . Son and his wife have a wonderful team to support him and the grounds are kept immaculate. Security provided by Lu , the family dog who only barks when non residents appear on the beach or at the entrance of the property . Bike rental available and also a driver available for tours or transfer from airport / ferry . A real joy to stay there , don’t think twice if a room is available take it with confidence you’ll enjoy beyond your expectations, I certainly did .

Leaving

This is a special place, not for everybody, but for those who seek a quiet, relaxed and laid back small resort off the beaten track, full of rustic charm. I endorse all the positive comments already published. I add a few comments which I didn't see mentioned. Parents of young children should be aware that the beautiful, clean little beach in front of the 10 or so bungalows is not typical of many of the beaches on Phu Quoc. The sea becomes deep very quickly here. especially at high tide. The bungalows are set back into the trees so do not impose upon the environment, however, this could also explain why the solar heating is not great at producing hot water. The restaurant offers a good and tasty selection of Vietnamese and western cuisine, all freshly cooked and at very resonable prices. The hotel encourages guests to book their meals early by offering a small discount, but more importantly your meal is ready at your chosen time. Most hotels in Vietnam provide two small bottles of water per day, per room, enough for a couple of mugs of coffee, and then charge premium rates for extra water. Here, litre size bottles are provided free of charge - you just take what you need. For those who like to watch tv there is also a selection of cable channels, including Netflix and K-plus, which televises Premier Leaague foofball matches live - this again is very unusual.

Gold Sands was idyllic. So peaceful. We booked to stay for 2 nights but stayed for 4. The bungalow was sparkling clean and comfortable and all the staff were so lovely and helpful. From walking along the beach and taking the scooter out we know we made the best choice with where to stay. This part was most peaceful and relaxed. The food was great and reasonably priced with big portion sizes. Breakfast was great. The seafood soup with rice noodles was my favourite 😊 You need your own transport ideally if you want to travel further afield easily. There is a beautiful, friendly dog at the property who is about to have puppies. (Good luck)!! ❤️ If we ever travel to Phu Quoc again we would 100% stay here.

Such a pleasant, peaceful location and the resort is right on the beach. Son, the host, is so kind, helpful and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble to do for you. There are other restaurants in walking distance so a good choice of places to eat. The room was very good with TV and WiFi and kettle. The breakfasts were plentiful and very good.

Minor issues - There were two power cuts - a back up generator might be useful to have! You need to order evening meals two hours in advance so have to plan ahead where you want to eat.

Perfect getaway stay with beach front access and view. Amenities were great, the resort even prepared baby cot for our stay as we were traveling with infant, last night of our stay we had barbecue by the beach that was great. Hidden little gem for those who seek calm & peace with beach environment. The water is clear with clean beach. The host were very hospitable. Thank you for the great stay experience provided.

We went during the off-season so we basically had the whole establishment to ourselves. The bungalow looks out to the beach directly and was relatively well-maintained. There was only one uncle looking after the whole place and he was the best! He made us feel at home with his attentiveness and kind mannerism. He also makes the best banana crepes among all the places I've been.

At the time we went, sand mining trucks were going in and out right next to Gold Sand. Thankfully they only operated during the day so our sleep wasn't affected too much but they did make the 1.5km road to the establishment extremely bumpy and dusty - it was hell every time we had to go somewhere.

The host/staff is extremely accommodating. If you want to experience family traditional Vietnamese food, eat at the hotel’s restaurant. The beach is literally next to your room. The host’ recommended Taxi driver, Minh, is amazing. If you want to know any local hidden gems, ask him.

Water pressure is kind of low.

After crossing all of Vietnam from north to south for 3 weeks, I needed a quiet place to end this wonderful trip. And then... I arrive at Gold Sand Beach. A warm, family welcome, the sound of the waves when I fall asleep and when I wake up... I really wasn't looking for a hotel with 150 tourists... Just an authentic place, where you feel good... and in which you think you could stay there forever ;-) I highly recommend this hotel... Waking up and seeing from your bed the sea 10 meters away .... I call it happiness,-)

Everything about this property is just perfect. The bungalows, which are right on the beach, the beach, the staff, the food. Just simply great.

The road to the property is in horrible condition.
