The hotel was beautiful and in a wonderful location. It was very quiet. We stayed in one of the rooms by the beach and the view was spectacular, especially of the sunsets each day. Service was a bit slow in the restaurant but breakfast was self serve and well stocked. Would highly recommend this hotel

This so-called “5-star hotel” was, without a doubt, the most horrifying experience of my life. If there were a negative rating, I would use it. From the moment I stepped in, it became clear that this place was a complete scam. Let’s start with the room: dirty, damp, and crawling with geckos. Now, I get it—geckos are common in some regions—but I didn’t expect to share my bed with them! Speaking of the bed, the linens were disgusting: stained, unwashed, and emitting a musty odor that made me question if they’d ever been cleaned. And then, the cherry on top: bloodstains. Yes, actual blood on the carpet and one of the walls. I don’t know what went down in this room before my arrival, but it was enough to make me feel like I was in a crime scene rather than a luxury hotel. The bathroom was equally appalling. The tiles were cracked, the shower barely worked, and there was mold growing in the corners. To make things worse, housekeeping clearly didn’t do their job—the trash bin was still full of garbage from the previous guest! The “amenities” were no better. The pool looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks, with murky water and broken loungers scattered around. I tried to raise my concerns with the staff, but they were indifferent and dismissive. The manager was nowhere to be found, and no one seemed remotely interested in addressing the multiple issues I brought up! The only thing this place deserves 5 stars for is how quickly it made me want to leave. Stay far, far away!

Ocean View Room had an amazing view! The room was nice. Only complaint was service. Housekeeping did not leave us with clean towels, had to always request. Called to have toilet leak fix numerous times before someone came out. Service was extremely slow and lacking. Also lacking was the selection of restaurants on site, there was only 1 restaurant and 1 lounge on the property. Activities offered were lacking as well. The hotel is not conveniently located near shops and restaurants so having to call taxi/Grab costed a lot every day. The hotel does not seem to be upkept and seem old and not very modern compared to other hotels and was told this was one of the first hotel built on the island.

The Shells is a very nice sea side resort. The pool is beautiful and beach access is convenient and clean. Our bungalow was large and well appointed. It had a shower and separate tub. Lots of storage room. We were a short walk to both pools and restaurants. Although all of the staff were friendly, we did find the service to be slow, especially while utilizing the lounge chairs. Service at the bar was pretty much non existent. The system of having to wave a red flag to get service is terrible; I once waved the flag for twenty minutes and finally gave up. The lunch and dinner food was good. The breakfast provided many options and was also good, but get there early as they tend to stop making things by the end.

The property was not as advertised. This could have been due to it being off peak season. Our room phone was broken so we couldn’t order room service as was our tv. The garden maintenance around our villa was poor. There is no sand at the beach. There is only one restaurant. Food was ok. The breakfast variety was ok also. Please note that this villa is far from anywhere. Took us 30 mins to get to grand world and casino and restaurants were also far. There was zero entertainment. They played music at the pool twice during our stay. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again.

The best thing about this resort was it's staff. The resort itself was advertised as a 4 to 5 Star resort. given my extensive travel I would rate this resort in its current condition with consideration of the staff only a one star. place is run down outdated room decor in dire need on a complete refurbishing. You can not make something old, dirty damaged unkept any different except when taking photos from a distance that will not show up the problems as they have done in their presentation. The management spoke to us before we left and asked us for some feedback and we gave them the exact same response as above. We respectfully told them that unless things change dramatically we could not see ourselves returning even though the location is great.

Not a good experience.

Everything is downgraded and dirty. The room floor was not clean, fridge and fans were missing, the bathtub cannot be used because it cannot be drained. The sink in the restroom drain is stuck as well. Outside balcony is full of ants and the staff here does not greet you. They have their own “taxi services” which is kind of suspicious. The buffet area was hot because their AC wasn’t working properly. Im glad on stay there for 2 nights.

Great resort design with layout, beautiful surrounding and private beach. Staff are helpful. Room is very roomy. Breakfast is very good. Love the BBQ dinner outdoor. Things need to be taken into attention is facility update and services. It is sad to see this beautiful resort goes under maintenance and services. Many doors hinges a loose and items are falling off like toilet paper holders...

The Shells has really lovely staff and a 24/7 buggy service to get around the resort (from pools to room or restaurants/reception). However, the resort rooms lack cleanliness as the once beautiful white tiles have a yellow tinge to it. I sympathise with the choice of white as Phu Quoc can get very hot and white is less likely to retain the heat. I trust that they are clean, however, upon first glance, feel a little put off. The rooms are spacious and the pool is nice to use. 2/3 of the pools were under maintenance and I believe that they will reopen at the end of 2024. The shells is a decent stay, however I don’t believe it is still the 5 star resort it once was.

I recently had a highly disappointing experience at "The Shells Resort and Spa" in Phu Quoc, Vietnam. Despite being advertised as a luxurious 5-star hotel, the reality was a stark contrast. The cleanliness was severely lacking, with evident signs of neglect – from mold in the shower and bath to pervasive cracks in the walls. The rusty steel fixtures left unsightly rust marks on various surfaces. The promotional pictures are misleading, showcasing a beauty that the actual hotel doesn't live up to. Having paid over $1000 (AU) for a 4-night stay, we expected a certain standard, but this turned out to be one of the worst hotels we've encountered in Vietnam. Dishearteningly, we decided to check out within an hour of checking in. To add to the disappointment, our 4-night stay was prepaid, and the hotel is currently refusing to refund our money our meet us somewhere half-way. This experience has left a bitter taste, and I strongly advise against choosing "The Shells Resort and Spa" if you seek a truly enjoyable and clean stay in Phu Quoc.
