Every year, this place welcomes millions of domestic and foreign tourists to the wild and charming beauty of the famous tourist attractions of Phu Quoc. Besides, there are beautiful resorts and hotels and unique, attractive cuisine. Not everyone, though, has travelled independently. Sorrento Restaurant & Bar will therefore share Phu Quoc travel advice.
Best season to visit Phu Quoc
Contrary to other coastal cities, while Summer is the best season for trips to supplement the “vitamin sea”, it is the rainy season in Phu Quoc. So the best time to visit Phu Quoc is from October to April. At this time, the weather is not too sunny, the temperature is about 27 degrees Celsius, and the sea is calm and highly suitable for fun activities.
Means of transport
There are many ways to get to Phu Quoc, such as planes, coaches, speedboats, etc. There are various ways to travel to Phu Quoc, including by coach, speedboat, and other vehicles. But the fastest and most convenient way is by plane. Vietjet Air, Bamboo Airways, Pacific Airlines, and Vietnam Airlines all offer flights to Phu Quoc.
But if you have plenty of time and want to find more exciting experiences, you can catch a bus or car from Ho Chi Minh City to Rach Gia or Ha Tien and then take a high-speed train to Phu Quoc. This will suit those living in Ho Chi Minh City or the western provinces. If you are in Hanoi, you should fly to Ho Chi Minh City first.
Phu Quoc hotel and homestay
Dubbed as a “tourist paradise”, the choice of hotels in Phu Quoc is diverse, from 4-5 star resorts with high-class resort experiences to beautifully designed homestays that are well evaluated equally for virtual live followers.
Most mid-range 2-3 star Phu Quoc hotels, motels, and homestays will be concentrated in Duong Dong Town since it’s convenient to go to other places on the island from here. It’s also a busy area in the evening. If you want to choose more advanced 4-5 star resorts and hotels in Phu Quoc, you need to go away from Duong Dong by about 8 km.
Owning the most favourable location must mention resorts such as JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, Premier Village Phu Quoc Resort, or Vinpearl. Although located in an area far from the centre, the island has the most beautiful beaches, such as Bai Dai, Bai Khem, etc.
In the high season, if you want to choose a favourite place to stop at a reasonable price, you should book hotel rooms 1-2 months in advance to avoid the situation of a “fire Ward”.
