We spent almost our entire honeymoon at Green Bay Phu Quoc Resort and Spa, and it was truly the most beautiful resort I’ve ever stayed at 🥹
It’s difficult to put into words how absolutely stunning this place is. It goes beyond the gorgeous beach, the high quality restaurants, the lovely pools and the luxurious rooms: there’s a very notable warm yet tranquil energy around the entire resort as a whole, a lot of which we believe is down to the staff. During our 11 days there, we were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left: we were always greeted with a smile, whether from the reception, the landscaping staff, the housekeeping or from the waiters: they create a truly lovely environment for the guests, which must be acknowledged and praised.
We booked an Ocean Pool Villa, which was beautiful beyond our expectation - immaculately clean, stunning view - set in the jungle with a view of the ocean - the best of both worlds and we couldn’t have asked for more.
The pool and beach areas are meticulously maintained by the staff, who use the net to remove even the tiniest leaves that fall in the water 😅 There was always plenty of sunloungers by the pool and on the beach, it never felt crammed. There’s also complimentary kayaking, snorkelling, sports and bikes available to rent which is a lovely touch.
The restaurants are incredible - Gio was our favourite as it had local Vietnamese cuisine which we loved: seafood hotpot, stir fried beef, pork, curries. So fresh and delicious and in comparison to western prices, incredibly reasonable. Breakfast was great - egg station, traditional soup station and a mix of Vietnamese and western choices, lots of fresh fruit and salads. Complimentary afternoon tea every day, which is perfect to tide you over from breakfast to dinner. The resort is perfectly situated to watch one of the most gorgeous sunsets I’ve ever experienced from The Coral Bar with live music every evening, and pool tables! 🎱
On our last day, we both had a spa treatment - my husband had a mud wrap and I had a body scrub. Spa is beautiful, no surprises there. Set in the jungle and gardens.
The only thing that may be worth noting is that there isn’t much directly around the resort. That being said, there is a really good supermarket around a 5 min drive away. The centre of Duong Dong is around 30 mins drive away. There’s a free shuttle to the town each day leaving in the morning and returning in the afternoon, the hotel are happy to organise taxis and scooters are available to rent through reception if you do want to explore, however we both commented that there really isn’t much need to leave the resort at all as it offers everything.
To be honest we could itemise everything that was great about this place, but what actually makes it so special is hard to specify. It’s the overall energy, the peace, the tranquility, the staff and the beautiful setting - in the jungle yet by the ocean, which is very rare. A review and photos won’t do it the justice it deserves, it needs to be experienced in person and we would 1000% recommend.
Special thanks to Vi, Jin and Xuan, who were absolutely exceptional at their jobs and became our friends while we were there. They were so lovely to absolutely everyone and deserve all the praise in the world.
Thank you all for making our honeymoon so truly special ♥️
