Phu Quoc still lacks the 4-star amenities of other Vietnamese beach resorts.
Nightlife is confined to an excellent seafood dinner and a good book.
One can do Phu Quoc the easy way or the hard way. I chose both. Vietnam Airlines' regular flights from Saigon. Flights resumed to the island in January 2000, after repairs were completed at Phu Quoc's tiny airport at Duong Dong. When it comes to Phu Quoc, guidebooks, including this author's, are worthless.
