 Phu Quoc: Disappointment or Just Not Your Resort? Recently, Aviasales published an honest article — a traveler shares why he didn't like Phu Quoc: trash on the beaches, noise, inflated prices. And you know what? I partly agree with him, but there's a nuance. Phu Quoc is NOT the Maldives. It's a Vietnamese island with active construction, party areas, and a wild contrast: on one side — luxury hotels, on the other — piles of plastic at low tide. If you're going for "paradise seclusion" — yes, you'll be disappointed. But if you know where to go, Phu Quoc reveals itself differently: ️ South of the island (Duong To area) — cleanest beaches, few people Snorkeling near the An Thoi islands — living corals, plenty of fish Dinh Cau market — seafood for pennies Renting a scooter — 150–200 UAH per day, the whole island is yours Alternatives for summer 2026 if Phu Quoc isn't your thing: → Da Nang (Vietnam) — gorgeous beaches, better infrastructure → Pattaya (Thailand) — budget-friendly and fun → Sochi, Kazan, Altai — Russia also has wow places My advice: don't trust only reviews. Every resort is a matter of the right area and season. Want to find an option that fits your budget and expectations?
