Peppercorn Beach

, family-run hotel that stands out for its warm, welcoming atmosphere. The villas overlooking the sea and the clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand are stunning, but it’s the staff and their family-like bond that make this place truly special. Most days, you can see the owner herself in the open kitchen preparing some of the dishes. Nestled in the north of the island in a quiet fishing village, the hotel is about an hour’s drive from the airport. Unlike the busier towns and cities in Phú Quốc, this area offers untouched natural beauty. There are trails through the national park and dirt tracks leading to pristine, protected beaches—arguably some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The Peppercorn is a solid 3-star hotel in terms of facilities and services, but for me, it felt like a 5-star experience. The remote, raw beauty of this location is unmatched, and the staff’s genuine happiness creates a lovely environment. Every morning, we enjoyed gorgeous sunrises, sometimes practicing yoga while watching the calm waters. On most days, the sea is perfect for snorkeling, though it can get a little rough with the warm northeast winds. Even then, it’s a beautiful sight, and stronger swimmers could still enjoy it. I had a wonderful time at the Peppercorn. Everything about it felt real, from the natural beauty to the heartfelt hospitality. I can’t wait to return.

We loved our stay at Peppercorn resort. The resort is beautiful, we had a beachfront room, we were literally 10m from the water. The room was comfortable and clean. We wanted a quiet place close to the beach and be able to snorkel and we were not disappointed. There was decent snorkeling jus a few tens of meter from the beach. In addition there is a very nice pool also available. The resort is located in the North in a more "authentic" part of the island with less tourist. The village close to the resort is a typical Vietnamese village with real working people, there are no shop directly aimed at tourist. Days trip are easily feasible for any part of the island, it may takes 1 to 1.5hours to go all the way to the south of the island which is reasonable. Even though we went during the rainy season (August), the weather was actually quite nice. There was some rains a few time (hard at time) but we were never rained out for the day. Most of all we really appreciated the staff of the hotel. They have been so nice and helpful with everything, we really felt special. So thank you very much and keep up the excellent work. We definitely recommend the place and we hope to be able to return there one of those days...

A very relaxing and calming place to stay.Linh was a very kind and helpful host and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay. Homemade bread, pies and jams were part of a great breakfast. Tons of local restaurants nearby. Beach was great, safe, lots of fish to see among the rocks. Near to a very nicoral reef

We stayed four nights in a lovely, clean, spacious seafront cottage with all mod cons. The sea was literally steps away and was warm and clean (we took a trip to the west coast and were shocked by how much rubbish was floating in the sea there in comparison). The view of the coastline (national park and Cambodia opposite) is spectacular and we loved looking at and swimming past the fishermen’s stilt-huts. We also loved eco-friendly touches such as the refillable water bottle in our room and the beautifully-tended gardens. The hotel had a post-season feel to it and we only shared it with a handful of lovely (Irish, NZ and HK) guests. The pool is large and peaceful and the restaurant absolutely excellent. We found that the a la carte breakfast offerings got a bit repetitive but the evening menu was excellent (the fish claypot and fish tacos were two of the best meals I had during our three-week trip and the Mojito remained in a class of its own!) – and all of it priced extremely reasonably. We also got a great, vigorous massage from a local masseuse who comes to the resort. Apart from the physical beauty of the place, it is the staff that makes Peppercorn special. Everything worked perfectly, from the excellent email communication before arrival, the airport pick-up to anything we needed during our stay. First among equals was Nhan who spoke excellent English and was a real asset to the hotel and a life-saver when our bags did not arrive for 36 hours. Thank you!

We loved our stay here. The staff are wonderful and very accommodating. The restaurant is excellent. The villas are so lovely, comfortable, and the beach is beautiful. The pool is pristine. We went to the south of the island for a day and we’re so glad we stayed in the quiet north.

We really enjoyed our stay at Peppercorn Beach. This is a small hotel, but the room was clean and big. Also, the service was impressive. The staff there is dedicated and ready to assist you in any way they can. The beach is also very nice, and you can borrow some bikes or snorkel equipment for free. There is some corral reef just on the hotel beach. We and our kids really had a relaxing time there. Thumbs up to the lovely staff there!

The setting is great, lovely swimming pool and delicious food. However, the service is sub-standard. From issues on lodging into a room with no hi-fi access and hot water only available after 5 minutes of waiting to bad recommendations twice during a stay of 4 nights. Asked for advice to get to a nearby restaurant, but we never got there. Maybe because of the corona restaurants were all closed but a few ones at the waterfront open. We were told we could easy get there by walking and it turned out the nearest restaurant was located 2.5 km from the hotel. Worse was a suggestion to make a half-day trip to Rach Vem, a beach for snorkling and good options to watch star fish. The journey took an hour and locals informed us the starfish presence was out of season. We had an exchange of view with the owner, Linh, and she insisted her staff never recommended the place. Upon arrival back to the hotel the person in question said she was there in March and could not understand there was no starfish in July! Try another hotel next time we get to the island again.

Everything was wonderful. We felt at home from the very first minute of our stay. Service was superb and the foot exquisite. Any little thing we needed was solved quickly and efficiently. Recommend Peppercorn to whoever would ask me a place to stay in Vietnam :-)

Hotel was very good no complaints only slow WiFi food is very good personal very polite and owner perfect

The perfect place to stay for a relaxing holiday. I can’t recommend this resort highly enough. We had 10 fantastic days here and enjoyed the food, the wonderful views, free bikes, kayaks and snorkelling. Being able to snorkel right off the beach was great. The resort has beautiful gardens and everything is very well maintained.

Wonderful, helpful staff, beautiful location, lovely rooms with outdoor seating areas, a nice swimming pool, pretty beach, good food in a small family-run resort. Pretty much all one could ask for as a quiet getaway.

My husband and I were discussing the pros and cons of our trip to Phu Quoc in particular our stay at Peppercorn Beach Resort as we knew we would complete a review or two. As we were discussing the beautiful and idyllic scenery, the friendly and attentive staff, the fresh & delicious food, our comfortable spacious & clean room, the free access to snorkeling gear, bikes and kayaks which filled our sun drenched days with activities, the relaxed restaurant and bar with thirst quenching drink selection, the comfortable sun loungers on our beachfront section and by the pool, we determined we didn’t in fact have any cons... The Peppercorn Beach Resort was perfect for our needs and we loved every minute of our four night stay we definitely hope to be back!

Paradise away from the crowds, loved the staff here who treat you like there friends and couldn’t do enough for you. Food is also very very good here.

The appeal of Peppercorn Beach is in its quaintness. Simple and fancy-free but oh so charming. The hospitality of the incredibly warm and friendly staff really made our stay here a standout of our time in Vietnam. The remoteness is a big contributing factor to the tranquility and beauty of the beach; there's some great snorkeling a few hundred meters off shore directly in front and to the left of the hotel. Very family friendly. Would love to come back one day when we have one :)

My family and I stayed here for 2 nights during our trip to Vietnam. Our time here happened to fall on my dad's birthday, and he said it was his best birthday ever. The restaurant has great food at a fair price, the employees helped me organize a birthday cake, and Hieu went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! There were many free activity options, but we felt no need to leave the beautiful beach during our unfortunately short stay. We all hope to make it back to Peppercorn!

Peaceful, quiet surroundings, tranquil. Friendly and welcoming staff. Very attentive and personable.

Fabulous hotel, amazing staff and food. Planning return trip even before we checked out !

We loved everything about Peppercorn Beach! Very relaxing stay with an amazing view, very calm sea for swimming with kids, good food, pool, happy hour everyday. The staff go out of their way to make everyone comfortable and can organize all kinds of tours and activities around the island. We will definitely be back!

This resort is mind blowing. Seriously my husband and I kept saying the pictures just don't do it justice. We never wanted to leave. The restaurant has wonderful food and the service staff all work so hard to make sure you have a wonderful time. The beach is so amazing - we snorkeled, kayaked, and swam for the whole 3 days we were there. We also booked a couples massage which was WONDERFUL! We stayed in a garden room and were very happy with it. The room was clean, well appointed, the AC worked very well. I swear this is the most beautiful and relaxing place I have ever been.
