Phu Quoc is always an attractive destination on the Vietnam tourism map thanks to the combination of pristine beaches, diverse island systems and modern service infrastructure.
During the recent vacation, Thuy Hang (a tourist from Hanoi) had a 4-day 3-night exploring island trip with optimal spending, about 7 million VND/person.
Day 1: Explore Sunset Town
Immediately after landing at Phu Quoc airport, Thuy Hang's group began their journey with the famous Kien Xay stir-fried vermicelli dish in the Sunset Town area.
“We chose the bun quậy restaurant in Sunset Town. The most interesting thing is that we can make our own dipping sauce according to our own taste. Fresh and delicious food, reasonable prices for the first meal in Phu Quoc,” Hang shared.
After checking into the hotel room, the group moved to Marina Bai Truong to have fun and see the sea. This area is famous for its long sandy beach, clear blue sea water and many beach sports activities such as surfing, parasailing or beach volleyball.
To enjoy the relaxing atmosphere by the sea, the group visited Sailing Club - a place loved by many tourists thanks to the infinity pool by the sea, vibrant music space and diverse menu.
In the evening, the whole group chose La Festa Bar to both enjoy drinks and watch fireworks at 9:30 PM. According to Hang, visitors only need to order drinks to fully enjoy the space without spending too much money.
Day 2: Rach Vem - Ganh Dau
The second day starts from 6:30 am with the route to Rach Vem, about 45km from the center. This is also the destination that impressed the female tourist the most during the trip.
The sea in Rach Vem is very clear, the coconut trees leaning against the water create a feeling like being on the Maldives. We chose to walk along the beach instead of canoeing to proactively find sparsely populated corners, comfortably watch the starfish and take pictures," Hang recounted.
Leaving Rach Vem, the group continued to visit 40six Beach Haus in Ganh Dau. The cafe impressed with its European architectural style and beautiful sea views.
Lunch was chosen by the group at Dong Phuong Quan on Nguyen Van Cu street - a family restaurant famous for fresh seafood dishes.
In the evening, visitors can visit the Sunset Town night market located next to the beach to enjoy the bustling atmosphere and continue to admire the brilliant fireworks displays.
Day 3: Check-in Mediterranean space
On the third day, the group spent most of their time exploring the Sunset Town area with a series of Mediterranean-style buildings such as the Clock Tower, Dragon Tower, the Pompeii ruins simulation area or the Arc de Triomphe.
In the afternoon, because they loved the space at Marina Bai Truong, the group returned to Sailing Club to have dinner and relax by the sea.
On the last night in Phu Quoc, the group chose Roman Square to watch fireworks. According to Thuy Hang's experience, tourists should come early to choose a good location.
Day 4: Goodbye Pearl Island
On the last morning, the whole group spent time strolling around the marina and the Mediterranean village before going to the airport to return to Hanoi.
Cost
According to Thuy Hang's sharing, the total cost for a 4-day 3-night Phu Quoc trip is about 7 million VND/person, including air tickets, hotels, food and travel.
Notes when visiting Rach Vem
The female tourist said that the ideal time to take pictures of starfish is around 9-10 am, when the sun is not too harsh and the seawater has the most beautiful blue color.
Absolutely do not lift starfish out of the water to take pictures because this can cause them to die," Hang emphasized.
