Nearby Attractions

Three can’t-miss local spots are all within a 20-minute drive of the hotel:

• Duong Dong Night Market: Just a 10-minute walk from Betula, this iconic market is the best place on the island to sample fresh grilled squid, Phu Quoc’s famous fermented fish sauce, and handmade coconut candy. Browse handcrafted souvenirs and beachwear while soaking up lively local energy.
• Sao Beach: Roughly 20 minutes south of the hotel, Sao Beach is widely considered Phu Quoc’s most beautiful stretch of coast, with powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water perfect for swimming and sunbathing.
• Phu Quoc National Park: A 25-minute drive northeast, this protected UNESCO biosphere reserve features dense jungle trails, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic mountain viewpoints ideal for hiking and wildlife spotting.

Travel Tips

Book your airport transfer through the hotel in advance to avoid inflated taxi fares at the airport. If you’re traveling with a pet, notify the hotel of your pet’s size and breed at the time of booking to confirm arrangements. Renting a scooter from the hotel (on-site rental services are available) is the easiest way to explore the island, and parking is free at the hotel. Carry cash when visiting the local night market, as many small stalls don’t accept card payments. Finally, don’t skip the hotel’s in-room breakfast — the local pho and fresh tropical fruit platter is an affordable, delicious start to a day of exploring.
