TL;DR
Taxis can work well for trips from central Phu Quoc to Khem Beach and the south, while a scooter is more practical for exploring the north. For families with children, older travelers or anyone with limited mobility, a rental car or a hotel near the preferred beach is the safer, more comfortable option.
For travelers who want to see several beaches and attractions during a short holiday, a scooter offers flexibility: plan a day around breakfast, a beach stop, lunch, another beach and the hotel rather than staying in one bay.
A rental car is the better choice for travelers who do not want to ride a scooter, especially families with children, older visitors, and people with leg problems or limited mobility. On a 7–12 day trip, staying close to the beach you plan to use can also avoid daily travel time.
A practical mixed approach is to use taxis from central Phu Quoc to Khem Beach and the south, then rent a scooter for the north of the island. A car may be less convenient for reaching Starfish Beach; if riding with a young child, proper safety gear and a suitable helmet are essential.
