This was our first time visiting the charming island of Phú Quốc just off the coast of Vietnam. We planned to stay at three different properties, and when we were taken to the Green Bay Phu Quoc Resort & Spa, it felt like we had finally arrived.
Everything that we could have possibly wanted and dreamed of was there. We were greeted by staff every day in a way that made us feel like we were part of a community, as opposed to just regular guests. Over the course of our stay, the amount of relaxation you want to seep into every part of your body on a true vacation, was truly made possible by staying at Green Bay.
Every part of this resort is carefully thought out to be part of the lush greenery that surrounds it. Our villa was the central comfort with spacious accommodation, bright decor and spectacular amenities. It was difficult to leave it every day, only because the villa's infinity pool meant you didn't have to go far to go swimming.
From the pristine white sand with crashing waves, to the tasteful delights of morning breakfast, scrumptious afternoon tea, and divine Vietnamese dinner, there really isn't anything more you could ask for. Oh, ice cream on the beach? No problem. The friendly gents at the pool shack will oblige with a variety of options.
You must take in the spa and indulge yourself in the treatments. Nothing is rushed. Instead, you are welcomed with a refreshing tea and a warm-soak foot scrub before melting away into the massage table.
This was a trip unlike any other, and when our third hotel fell short, it was a simple decision – let's go back to Green Bay. And so we did.
A few special mentions to staff who went above and beyond: Front Office Manager Ms. Tuong was more than generous and hospitable in helping us find the perfect room and view to suit our trip. Gio Restaurant Manager Ms. Xuan provided delightful conversations and not only suggested food to choose from the menu, but also offered to have the chef make something special just for us. Lady Palm Restaurant Mr. Vinh provided a delight to every day, chatting with us as if we were dear friends, and making the most incredibly romantic dinner on the beach a breathtaking reality. Under Ms. Xuan and Mr. Vinh's leadership, the restaurant staff exude warmth, kindness and generosity in a way that compliments their resort's overall vibe – to help make their customers' stay as enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable as possible. And a special shoutout to Mr. Khoa for making our romantic dinner enjoyable and helping with a special surprise!
If you're looking for a serene, tranquil place, with an impeccable atmosphere for relaxation, friendly hospitality, and to be surrounded by staff who greet you with kindness and a joy of being there, the Green Bay Phu Quoc Resort & Spa is where I highly recommend you go. I cannot wait to go back, and may have already booked my return trip after writing this! :)
