[2024 Phu Quoc Island Stay] Travel Guide for Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay, an IHG Hotel (Updated Dec)
Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay, an IHG Hotel
The facilities are impressively clean and there are many activities offered within the hotel. The staff sometimes felt a bit rough but were very friendly. We had a beach suite on the first floor with direct access to the swimming pool. Our room view was blocked by the back of a sandy beach cafe, but the room itself was large and clean.
The layout of the hotel is well thought out with all amenities nearby.
You can get cash out at the reception.
It is cheaper to order a Grab through the app than a taxi at the reception.
There is also a board at the reception with the hotel activities and kids club activities for the day.
There are no sunbeds on the beach and pool, so you need to get in early to secure a spot.
Overall, it is a very family-friendly resort that provides a luxurious customer experience.
We had a fantastic time at the resort! The hotel is new, everything is clean, and the hotel is located next to the beach.
The staff were especially helpful at the Amber Sands restaurant, which is definitely worth a visit.
We wanted to eat more fish because the island is famous for it, and the dinner was customized for us. Don't hesitate to ask, because customer service at the resort is excellent, and they do everything to make sure you enjoy your vacation!
The hotel bar is also worth a visit. Tien, the young lady, is laughing, friendly, and very professional in making good drinks, cold wine, beer, and being customer-oriented again.
We went for a massage at the spa several times during our stay and were positively surprised by the quality of the service we received. It's worth a visit during your stay!
Thank you to the team, especially Darry and the team at Amber Sands and Tien at the lobby bar!

Life is a beach.
I wanted a getaway. Away from being woken up by my alarm set every morning at 7am and away from catching buses and going through bad traffic.
Phu Quoc is just the right hideaway from me. With a barely an hour flight from Ho Chi Minh, but an hour's drive from Phu Quoc Airport, Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay Hotel was the right decision I made. I stayed for four nights and enjoyed every single day of it. The room, the sincere hospitality of the staff, albeit language differences, and the beach made my stay near perfect.#phuquoc

We had a great time in this hotel. The breakfast buffet was amazing and the staff called Rosie is super helpful! She is very friendly and introduced nice Vietnamese style coffee to us. The taste is incredible!! Coffee lovers should try it!! Beach club is amazing at night! By the way the massage in the hotel seems to have a hidden fee which called special tax and service charge and on top of that charge 10%VAT and 5%SVC again. People should consider before making an appointment.overall awesome

The Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay is highly praised for its impressive amenities, stunning location, and exceptional service. Guests consistently commend the hotel's modern and clean design, spacious rooms, and stunning ocean views. Many reviewers highlight the professional and attentive staff, with specific mentions of smooth check-in and check-out processes and prompt service from housekeeping and the front desk.
The hotel's facilities, such as the infinity pool, fitness center, and private beach, are frequently noted as top-notch. Guests enjoy the variety of dining options available, including a well-received breakfast buffet and flavorful dishes served at the on-site restaurants. The kids' club and numerous activities for children make it a family-friendly destination!
However, the hotel's somewhat remote location is a consideration, as it is a bit distant from urban centers. Despite this, the availability of complimentary shuttle services to nearby attractions helps mitigate this issue :)
Overall, the Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay offers a luxurious and welcoming atmosphere, making it a highly recommended choice for both families and couples looking for a relaxing getaway.

The ideal vacation is to find an island and lie down flat
It might be a preference formed from summer trips during childhood.
I've always loved watching the sea, even though some people say
aren't all seas the same?
But for me, every time I come to the vast ocean,
it deepens my understanding of 'gentleness and strength.'
I am still moved by the gifts of the Creator.
Ah Xue's ideal vacation is to find an island and lie flat.
This time, she chose Phu Quoc Island, which was selected by Living 'International Living' as one of the top 15 best retirement islands in the world.
If it weren't for the few direct flights from the mainland to Phu Quoc,
its fame might rival that of Boracay and Phuket.
Of course, in addition to the low number of people and high cost-performance,
what's more important is that there are already many good hotels here.
A comfortable and beautiful place to stay
directly affects the level of the island vacation experience.
So when you come to Phu Quoc Island, you must stay in a hotel with quality assurance.
Ah Xue, with her rich experience in hotel trial stays,
chose
Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay
Located in the northern part of Phu Quoc Island,
it is close to Grand World, Safari Zoo,
Pearl Amusement Park, and Starfish Beach.
If you want to go to these destinations, you can choose Starbay Crown with your eyes closed.
✔️Pros:
1️⃣ Enthusiastic service, as soon as you step into the hotel, staff will quickly respond and provide one-stop service.
2️⃣ Delicious breakfast, with more than 20 kinds of bread and sauces. Especially recommend the orange juice and rice noodles.
3️⃣ The hotel is relatively new, and the balcony sea view is very impressive.
❌Cons:
1️⃣ About a 50-minute drive from the airport, which is quite far, but the hotel has a free shuttle bus to take.
2️⃣ The room style is standard and does not have a particularly strong local character.
The sun, moon, and stars of Phu Quoc Island
are leisurely but not boring, rich but not tiring.
Blowing the gentle sea breeze, starting the new year's chapter,
such nights are the dreams in a weary life.

Family friendly resort
My family and I enjoyed our 13 night stay here. We experienced great friendly service and enjoyed all the amenities. Although we did not participate in the hotel daily activities, it was great to have the option. Far from the airport but close to Grand world which has restaurants, gift shops and bars decorated in a Venice canals theme. The breakfast was delicious and well organized. Great job to the general manager Winston for clean facilities and capable staff. He wrote us a handwritten letter detailing the many activities the hotel and local area offered, much appreciated! We plan to stay again next year.

Had our amazingly chill stay in this resort when we visited Phu Quoc. Was only expect great but it turns out to be one of the bests!
Here is why - We communicated slowly with the restaurant hotel staff that we want a vegetarian meal, they specially made request with the chef and fulfil for us! The best part is the food quality is tip top and really delicious. We ordered vegetarian pizza and pad-thai,
Not to mention, the restaurant and the room we stayed is beach-front facing, endlessness of ocean, ocean and ocean!

#hotelreview
When we booked this IHG hotel, we did not know what to expect as it was our first time exploring the northern side of Phu Quoc.
Location-it is nearer to VinPearl side and a bit far from other attractions in Phu Quoc. If you are first timer looking for quiet relaxing time in Phu Quoc, this might be an option.
Room-new with modern decoration. Being Crowne Plaza property, personally I feel it lacks some kind of character or charm in the room itself. However, the ocean view is so awesome as we were blessed with good weather.
Since everything is brand new, it does not feel crowded here as most tourists would have chosen to stay in city centre or Vinpearl.
Overall, will come back if the price is right.
