Hexan Dragos

Salinda Resort was hands down the best accommodation we had in Phu Quoc. The attention to detail, the calm tropical elegance, and the genuine warmth of the staff made our stay unforgettable. But what truly stood out? The breakfast, absolutely top-notch! From fresh tropical fruit to artisanal pastries and everything in between, it was the kind of breakfast that makes you set an alarm just to not miss it.
Now, as for Pakka Indian Restaurant. Yes, that one. The Global Winner in Indian Cuisine 2022 by the World Luxury Restaurant Awards and crowned Best Indian Cuisine in Vietnam by Haute Grandeur. With all those accolades, we were definitely curious. But after a quick glance at the menu, we realized that the only thing spicier than the curries... was the pricing.
We understand culinary excellence comes at a price, but when a humble Palak Paneer starts approaching “fine-dining tasting menu” territory, it starts to feel less like dinner and more like an investment. Michelin might approve, but our travel-weary wallets politely declined.
That said, everything else at Salinda was flawless. It's a peaceful, polished gem where luxury meets authenticity, and the kind of place we’d return to in a heartbeat. Next time, we might just budget a little extra... for both the spa and the Paneer.
