Novotel Phu Quoc Resort is a mid-to-upper resort on the island's west coast, with a beachfront, pools and gardens, designed around easy family holidays. It is a practical choice for travellers who want solid facilities and a beach without paying luxury prices.
Location
The resort lies on the west coast, a short drive from Duong Dong and the airport, so you can reach the night market and restaurants by taxi in a few minutes. The beach here faces the sunset, and the sea is generally calm in the dry season, though swimming conditions change with the tide. Because the resort is not in the middle of town, you will probably eat many meals on site.
Rooms and facilities
Expect a range of rooms and suites, with family-sized options and a layout set among gardens. The resort has pools, a kids club, restaurants and bars, a spa and a fitness area. Bed types, views and meal plans differ by rate, so check what is included, and consider a breakfast-inclusive option if you are travelling with children. Reviews often mention friendly staff and good breakfast, and occasionally comment that some rooms feel dated, so read recent comments.
Who it suits
Families, groups and couples who want a dependable, relaxed resort stay. It is less suited to travellers who want nightlife nearby or a very stylish boutique experience. The dry season from about November to April is the best time to visit, with calm seas and long, sunny days.
In the wetter months from roughly May to October, expect rain and rougher water, but better rates and quieter beaches. Ask about airport transfers, tours and family packages, and book a room near the pool if you are travelling with young children, to save long walks in the heat.
Practical tips
The resort suits those who like to mix pool time with day trips. Ask about family packages, kids club hours and whether the buffet includes children's options. If you plan to visit the night market, arrange a taxi back in advance, particularly late in the evening. Choose a room near the main pool if you have young children, and ask about early check-in if your flight lands in the morning. Compare tours offered by the resort with independent bookings, and always check cancellation terms.
If you travel in the wetter months, pack a light rain jacket and quick-dry clothes, and ask whether the resort has indoor activities for children. Check the airport transfer price against a metered taxi before you decide.
