Stayed for 2 nights in Nov 2023
Pros:
-Room was large and spacious
-Bed was quite comfortable with a mosquito net around it if you wanted.
-minifridge, desk with chair, small table, free bottle of water provided
-bathtub and sink with space around it.
-hairdryer in the bathroom
-enclosed shower with glass with hot water.
-relaxed atmosphere of the place because of its isolation in the north and also the coconut trees around and the sandy grounds near the beach and the swing from the tree.
-the food at the restaurant is the best. hands down amazing and decently priced for a resort. tastes so good that we ate here for both the nights we stayed. Probably one of the best parts of this resort...honestly I'd stay here just for the food! I missed it when we moved accommodation locations in the south. Even the breakfast while it is not buffet, they give you multiple choices that are filling.
-staff are very nice and friendly.
-close to Ganh Dau town which has a market and also close to GrandWorld.
-good wifi speeds at 37.5mbps download and 47.3 mpbs upload when mobile speed tested.
overall rating 4.5/5

Cons:
-the shower in our room didn't have a lot of pressure. Once we alerted the staff the next day they fixed it.
-swimming pool at the resort looked a little run down, a bit yellow in the corners, didn't look super clean.
-beach not bad, not the best on the island but also not the worst, acceptable. it's private though.
-far from airport around 1 hour drive but it can be a pro if you are looking for that relaxed vibe with not so many people.
-aircon doesn't get very cold but acceptable after a while. If you like it very cold you may have an issue.
-while the food was amazing, the speed at which the food comes to you is quite slow, it might take 40 mins or an hour to come to you if there's a lot of people at the restaurant. Get there by 6pm and order if you want to eat by 7pm. It's worth the wait though.

While “stuck” in Vietnam for a couple years during the border closure, we visited Phu Quoc many times. We made a hobby of staying in different hotels around the island, but we ALWAYS ended up booking at least a night or two at Gold Coast. It’s a bit off the beaten path, up in the NW area of Ganh Dau. The oceanfront bungalows are lovely and comfortable, the staff are friendly, and the hotel property is beautifully decorated and maintained.

Most importantly, the restaurant is SO GOOD! We were always pleasantly surprised by the quality of every dish. The coffee, cocktail, and beverage menu is also amazing. I was pregnant during my most recent visit, and the variety of non-alcoholic drink options were a dream.

Only removed a star because during our most recent visit (Sept 2022) the property next door was under renovation, and the workers were loud during the day, threw trash in the ocean, and did loud karaoke every night which we could hear in our room (yes, construction, trash, and karaoke are everywhere in Vietnam, but Gold Coast provided a respite from most of that during our previous visits). Thankfully renovations are temporary, and I’d recommend staying there either way.

We stayed for three nights and four days after exploring mainland Vietnam. A nice quiet break before moving on to Cambodia.
Beautiful small resort, incredibly clean beach. Close to towns to explore. Staff were all professional and kind. Rooms have AC, comfortable beds and nicely appointed bathrooms. Excellent included breakfast. The restaurant had enough options that we ate all our meals here. Snorkel gear, kayaks and free bikes.!
