Our Phu Quoc getaway, anchored at Best Western Premier - Sonasea Phu Quoc, proved transformative. Situated on the island's southwest side, a brief 20-minute ride from the airport, it quickly evolved into our cherished family haven.
Major kudos to Ms. Trang, the stellar Front Desk maestro, and Mr. Long from the concierge tour desk – the true heroes of our adventure. Ms. Trang's personalized tour of fantastic villas and the coveted balcony suite gave us a sneak peek into future vacations, leaving us with numerous reasons to make this our go-to getaway.
The initial impression was nothing short of magical. The breezeway lobby adorned in Christmas splendor and the staff's efficient and welcoming nature set a tone of warm hospitality, initiating us with a complimentary beverage.
Our deluxe suite, a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment-style haven, exuded cleanliness and comfort. The room's impeccable sparkle and swift, top-notch housekeeping addressed any tweaks promptly.
The beds were a dream, granting us a sleep fit for royalty. Breakfast, always a winner, left a minor beef – the absence of their legendary banana bread every day. Despite this, the overall spread remained top-notch.
The pool emerged as the hero for our 9 and 11-year-old duo, who practically camped there, alternating between the main pool by the lobby and the 300-meter figure-eight pool leading to the beach pool. Pro tip: best swim times are early mornings and late afternoons till closing.
