The Property — Long Mountain Resort
Long Mountain Resort is a no-frills, budget-friendly 3-star on Phu Quoc’s west coast, a few minutes’ walk from Long Beach. The lobby is an open-sided thatched pavilion with ceiling fans and concrete floors, smelling of sea salt and suntan lotion. It suits backpackers, short-stay divers and anyone who wants a cheap, clean bed near the beach without resort amenities. The USP is location and price: you're paying for proximity to the ocean, not luxury.
Chronicles of Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc was a minor fishing outpost until the late 20th century, used by the French as a penal colony and later by the South Vietnamese for the same purpose during the war. Its first paved road arrived only in the 1990s, and tourism properly kicked off after a 2006 airport upgrade and the 2010 opening of international flights. Today the island’s identity is split: the west coast is dense with resorts and massage parlours, while the northern and eastern thirds remain forested, with fish-sauce villages and pepper farms. Vietnamese tourists dominate domestic tourism; international arrivals have grown fast since the 2014 visa waiver for most European countries.
Best Time to Visit
Full Phu Quoc guide →Best months
December–February: dry season peak, low humidity, calm seas and clear skies. July–August works for budget travellers who don't mind daily monsoon showers.
Peak / festival surge
Peak is December–January, driven by European winter holidays and Vietnamese Tết (January/February). Hotel prices double or triple. Book 6 months ahead. Crowds are heaviest on Long Beach and around Dinh Cau night market.
Budget shoulder season
April–May and October–November are best for discounts. April is hot but dry; October is rainy but you'll find rooms at 50% of peak rates. Fewer tourists, quieter beaches.
Weather & packing
Phu Quoc’s monsoon is sudden: a blue sky can turn to a tropical downpour in 15 minutes. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a pair of sandals that handle puddles.
Live City Briefing — Phu Quoc
- The new Phu Quoc International Terminal (opened 2023) now handles direct flights from Seoul, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, reducing transit time from HCMC.
- A curfew for motorcycle rentals (11pm–5am) was introduced in early 2025 to reduce noise complaints; visitors must show an international driving permit.
- The Phu Quoc United Center (a large casino-entertainment complex) extended its operating hours to 4am in July 2025, attracting more nightlife traffic to the north of the island.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Long Mountain Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd floor facing the rear garden or pool area. Mid-floor is quietest—far from street noise but above ground-level disturbance. 3-star Phu Quoc hotels often have balconies on upper floors; ask for one if available.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the main entrance or reception: street noise from Phu Quoc’s motorbike traffic and arriving guests will filter in. Also skip rooms directly above the breakfast area (likely first floor) due to early morning clatter.
Best views
With a Phu Quoc address, likely urban or garden view—request a pool-facing side or sea-facing if the resort is coastal (common on the island). No real sea view guaranteed at 3-star level unless specified.
Quietest floors
Floors 2–3 are quietest—elevated enough to dodge street-level noise but not high enough to catch roof or mechanical sounds.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from motorbikes and taxis is standard on Phu Quoc, especially near the main tourist strip. Breakfast rush (7–9am) may sound from the restaurant area, and any lift shaft can thrum on adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1) Arrive late afternoon to request a room swap if not satisfied—check the balcony and noise level first. 2) Pack earplugs: even quieter rooms can’t block out early morning rooster calls or distant karaoke bars common on the island.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Phu Quoc
💡 Go around 5pm for the best light and fewer crowds. Bring cash — no cards accepted. The grilled squid wrapped in chilli salt is worth trying for 20,000 VND.
💡 Buy a bottle directly from the factory — it costs 30,000 VND (about £1) compared to 80,000 VND in shops. The nose-tickling smell stays on clothes, so wear something you don't mind washing immediately.
💡 Head to the section near Mango Bay Resort (GPS: 10.208, 103.956) — quieter than the central strip. The best show is 30 minutes before official sunset time; check your phone or local tide table.
💡 Visit just before sunset — the light turns the sea gold and the crowds thin out. Dress with shoulders and knees covered. Donation box at the entrance is voluntary.
💡 Hire a motorbike for 150,000 VND/day to reach the trailhead at Rach Vem. Start early — by 10am the heat is brutal. Bring insect repellent and at least 2 litres of water per person.
