I want to ask about places to eat and play in the south of Phu Quoc island that are not expensive during this New Year.
I will go to Phu Quoc this New Year, and have booked plane tickets and a room in the south of the island. I want to ask where to eat, drink and play that are not expensive because I heard that in Phu Quoc all costs are quite high.
The number of tourists will increase this New Year in Phu Quoc when up to 90% of high-end hotel and resort rooms are fully booked. 2-3 star hotels are also more than 50% full. Tourists should note that they should choose restaurants in advance. You should order food 1-2 hours in advance if going in a large group. Carefully check the menu and food prices before ordering. You should experience “real people, real things” instead of just listening to tips.
The advice below comes from Ms. Cam Nhung, a tour guide in Phu Quoc, and the experiences of two tourists Hoang Huong and Dieu Linh, from Hanoi, who made trips to Phu Quoc, the southern part of the island, in November and December.
In the south of the island, visitors can visit a number of free entertainment spots:
– Sao beach, Khem beach
– Ham Ninh fishing village
– Some items in Sunset Town
– Ho Quoc Pagoda
– Pepper gardens along the road from Duong Dong to Tranh stream, establishments producing sim wine, cultivating pearls and making fish sauce
– Phu Quoc prison
– An Thoi Market
