La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc

Even though we visited during stormy weather, La Veranda MGallery still gave us one of the most wonderful stays we’ve ever had. This award-winning Phu Quoc boutique resort, inspired by 1920’s colonial Indochine, truly feels like home thanks to the whole crew, everyone treats each other (and the guests) like family. We stayed in the Premier Ocean Suite, and the experience was unforgettable. From the very first moment, with a warm welcome drink and a kind introduction from Sam (Customer Experience Manager), we already felt cared for. We were supposed to enjoy the Sunset Champagne on the beach, but since the weather didn’t allow it, the team surprised us by setting everything up in our room. It turned into the most magical evening with a bubble bath, ocean view, champagne, and delicious canapés (and I’m usually not even into canapés, but these were amazing!). We also treated ourselves to the Wellness Moment package for couples which was one of the highlights of the trip including sauna, herbal bath, and a full-body massage. Super romantic with roses and candles, it’s something we highly recommend to every couple looking to relax and reconnect. Breakfast every morning was fresh and flavorful, with lots of local specialties. And we are still dreaming about the huge, perfectly cooked steak we had at The Pepper Tree Restaurant, truly one of the best we’ve had! Special thanks to Thuy (F&B Manager), Chi Kieu, and Linh for taking such good care of us during dinner, and of course to Jacques and Sam for all their kindness, love, and attention throughout our stay. La Veranda is not just a resort, it’s an experience filled with romance, care, and unforgettable moments. ❤️🙌

My first star ⭐ goes to the wonderfully friendly and diverse team members – always warm, attentive, and with a natural lightness that makes you feel instantly at ease. The second star ⭐ belongs to the enchanting tropical garden, a living piece of botanical art . My third star ⭐ goes to the architecture: colonial style revived in its simple, authentic elegance – never overdone, always just right. The fourth star ⭐ is for the two unpretentious restaurants. No endless menu, but a carefully chosen selection of dishes and drinks – each one fresh & flavorful. And my fifth star ⭐ is reserved for Mr. Duong – probably the best masseur Vietnam has to offer. Here, five stars don’t mean bling-bling or the next big thing. They mean accessible and casual luxury – the kind of understated elegance perfect for travelers who value authenticity over extravagance.

What a lovely place! First thanks are to those who took the trouble to portray such enticing comments on this hotel in these columns. I made my choice for a week long stay on the basis of those reviews and was more than amply rewarded. Not always a comfortable fit being a solo in a resort hotel but the very nature of La Veranda erases any such notions, and the genuine good nature of Sam the Manager pervades the entire staff, all so kind and hospitable. The welcoming letter from Madame Catherine, now in her 90's, the original owner and creator of La Veranda was very touching, her spirit still clearly providing guidance for this restful haven. The Pearl of Vietnam? For me there is no doubt :)

We enjoyed a wonderful 2-night stay in an ocean view room. Free airport shuttle, Martini welcome drink introduced by Shamir, the resort manager made a "Wow" and warm welcome, upon arriving the room refreshing lemongrass scent calming and soothing spacious room. We are lucky to join the wine reception and afternoon tea free activities. Despite the rainy weather, the pool and bar is perfect for relaxing. A truly boutique experience highly recommended for a romantic getaway. If given the opportunity we will surely come back. -X&J

Set in a beautiful tropical garden with its own beach , this resort was amazing . The main buildings , pool, yoga area , spa and rooms were wonderful . It’s also situated very close to the Main Street with a great laneway of businesses along this stretch. It was the best hotel/resort in PQ. One of the major positives was the staff. Manager Sam & his team including the lovely Crislyn were so friendly and helpful with Vietnamese hospitality and generosity. Nothing was too much trouble , and they were always available with suggestions and advice. We absolutely loved this resort and the complimentary activities during the week. I thoroughly recommend staying here !
