Location
7kms north of Long Beach and Duong Dong Town so it’s a little secluded. You’ll be eating in-resort quite a bit. The beach is picturesque but you’re a cab ride from any other activity.
Review
The Shells is definitely one of the more impressive designs on Phu Quoc Island. The building is spectacular. The rooms are nicely done too. There’s something about a door opening behind a bedhead that strikes me as a tad wrong - but that’s my quirk not theirs I suspect.
All rooms look over the beach with views that vary only with elevation. Lead-in rooms are 70sqm including a generous balcony. Suites are double that size. There’s an impressive pool between the resort and the beach as well as spa.
The Shells is relatively new and at time of writing (December 2015) it still seems to receiving mixed reviews for service - which may be a problem given its pricing and isolation.
Brief
Large pool, spa, beachfront, restaurant
Disclosure
Rusty Compass recommendations are always independent. We recommend the stuff we think is worth knowing about. That’s it. No money changes hands for a listing and hotels and resorts have no say over what we recommend and what we write. We’ve not stayed at The Shells but we inspected the place in December 2015 and have received feedback from guests.
