TL;DR
Phu Quoc beaches are mostly clean; pollution/dirty water episodes are rare and short-lived (a couple of days, usually in winter). In May and July the sea is warm and calm with no dirty water reported.
In May the sea in Phu Quoc was very warm, comfortable even for people who usually feel cold in water.
Spent a week in July with great weather: calm sea, singing sand, no dirty water on the beach. Stayed at Vinpearl Resort & Spa and New World.
In July, cash was needed almost everywhere — UnionPay cards weren't widely accepted, and QR-code payments didn't work (possibly an iOS issue).
There's a small chance of encountering a dirty beach, but it's rare — last winter it happened for just a couple of days, otherwise the beach stayed clean.
