Vinpearl Resort & Spa Phu Quoc
Zero service, bad food, tired rooms. Looks like hotel is catering to mass tourism package tours from Russia and China and makes no effort to provide any service or train personnel. English is almost non existent, except front desk. Staff untrained, unmotivated and try avoid contacts with guests. ...
