Four years ago, my husband and I were stuck on this island and ended up staying at Cassia Cottage for 3.5 months due to the pandemic. Along with many other tourists and the amazing staff, we formed a community, almost like a family, and called this place home.
This time, I returned with my parents as I wanted to show them where I had “lived” for those unforgettable months. As the staff wrote in their welcome email, “Welcome home!” I truly felt like I had come home.
Cassia has remained a calm oasis, a natural escape, and a welcoming place with excellent service. The staff at the front desk, in the restaurant, and those working in maintenance and housekeeping may be new faces to me, but they were just as wonderful, caring, and welcoming as I remember from my first stay. It was my parents’ first time here, and they were thoroughly impressed.
I had hoped to see Mark, the owner, in person to thank him for creating a place that so many of us, who call ourselves the Cassia Crew, consider one of the most memorable parts of our lives. Maybe next time?
A heartfelt thank you to Phượng, Sao, and Tuấn Anh. I was so happy to see you again and reminisce about our time together. Thank you Minh for your warmth and kindness (and for saving our clothes from the rain!) Thank you Nhã, Quốc, Ven, and Hiền for checking on us every morning to make sure we were enjoying our stay. How could we not?
To all the incredible staff I have met, thank you for always being there to help and for greeting us with your big smiles. Cassia Cottage will always be home to me, my husband, and the Cassia Crew in Phu Quoc.
I’m looking forward to coming back soon!
