“Beautiful, if a little characterless, resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

This is a really beautiful resort in a lovely setting banked up a slope right on the beach. While it is a lovely beach, like most in Phu Quoc, it is small. My only complaint (and I hesitate to call it such) is the place lacks a little character. We stayed in a beach-front villa which was very comfortable and... More

We stayed at the Chen Sea in April for four nights after spending two at the La Veranda Hotel which is south of the town. The Chen Sea is located north of the island and on a very nice beach - much better than the one at La Veranda which has a problem with trash being washed up. Having moved... More

Inside had LR, bar area, BR w/ 2 twins, baths, upstairs had spacious suite w/ king bed, great bath and gorgeous ocean views. Very modern and eco- friendly.
