Travel Guide: Mey Homestay, Phú Quốc

Introduction

Nestled in the quiet northern corner of Vietnam’s Phú Quốc Island in the Mekong Delta region, Mey Homestay offers travelers a raw, authentic escape from the crowded resort strips of southern Phú Quốc. Far from the buzz of夜市 and busy tourist hubs, this cozy family-run homestay lets you slow down and immerse yourself in the island’s laid-back coastal charm, with easy access to some of the island’s most unspoiled natural and cultural landmarks.

Hotel Overview

Mey Homestay is located at TH3-21 Grandworld Phú Quốc, Ganh Dau, Phú Quốc, Vietnam. This intimate family-owned property caters perfectly to independent travelers and small families, with spacious family rooms fitted with air conditioning for tropical comfort. Most rooms open onto private terraces overlooking the property’s lush tropical garden, ideal for sipping morning coffee or watching sunsets with a cold local beer.

Practical amenities are designed for stress-free travel: the homestay offers a free airport shuttle to and from Phú Quốc International Airport, free private parking without pre-booking for guests traveling by motorbike or car, a 24-hour front desk, daily in-room dining service, a full-service restaurant and bar serving fresh local seafood, and a complimentary daily breakfast of Vietnamese pork banh mi or congee. Note that the homestay does not provide internet, a deliberate choice that encourages guests to disconnect and engage with their surroundings. All staff speak Vietnamese, and the warm, personal service reflects the best of Vietnamese hospitality.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are all within a 20-minute drive of the homestay:

• Ganh Dau Cape: A 10-minute drive north, this rugged headland boasts sweeping views of the Gulf of Thailand and neighboring Cambodia’s coastline. The quiet rocky beach here is almost never crowded, perfect for picnics and photography.
• Vinpearl Safari Phú Quốc: A 15-minute drive south, this open-range conservation zoo is home to over 3,000 animals including rare Indochinese tigers and Asian elephants. Guests can take guided safari drives through the natural enclosures for a family-friendly day out.
• Ganh Dau Night Market: A 12-minute drive from the homestay, this small local market sells freshly caught grilled squid, Phú Quốc’s famous fish sauce, and handwoven coconut handicrafts at prices far lower than tourist markets in southern Phú Quốc.

Travel Tips

Since the homestay does not offer internet, download offline maps of Phú Quốc before you arrive, and pre-save any tour or restaurant contact details. Renting a motorbike (available for hire from local shops near the homestay) is the easiest way to explore northern Phú Quốc, as public transport is limited. If you don’t speak Vietnamese, download a translation app before you arrive to help with communication. Finally, pack reef-safe sunscreen and mosquito repellent—tropical northern Phú Quốc is warm and humid year-round, and lush green areas have more mosquitos than developed resort areas.
