| InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort |
I was privileged to stay at the new InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort in one of its 459 elegant rooms, suites and villas. These are set in private low rise and Sky Tower accommodation. The resort features attractive landscaped gardens and direct access to the white sandy beach and magical daily sunsets.

GUEST ROOMS
They have a range of room types available, including Classic Rooms, Executive Rooms, Emerald, Garden and Family Suites and Villas overlooking the ocean, pools, landscaped tropical gardens and lagoons.
My 49 sq m Classic Room was luxuriously appointed. It was designed with a blend of contemporary elegance and elements from the local Vietnamese culture and the perfect place to relax.
My spacious room came with a balcony overlooking one of the pools through floor-to-ceiling windows.
I appreciated the welcome fresh fruit bowl and the nightly turn down service.
GYM
Even though I had complimentary access to the 24-hour gym, I was too comfortable in my room and pools to make use of it. It had the latest equipment from Precor, Life Fitness and Technogym, including treadmills, elliptical cross trainers, upright and recumbent bikes, adaptive motion trainers, both weight machines and free weights and a Kinesis machine.
PLANET TREKKERS
InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort offers countless choices of activities for children and families. The 250 sqm PLANET TREKKERS is the resort's dedicated Children’s Club and is open from 9 am to 8 pm. It is specifically designed for young guests aged 4-12 years and is fully supervised and secure with age-appropriate facilities and fun, culturally-inclined indoor and outdoor activities. I poked my head in there and saw the indoor areas filled with engaging games and themed activities that are designed to introduce children to the vibrant Vietnamese culture, as well as the arts of dancing, acting, crafting, and much more.
Outside, I saw that children can participate in exciting water-based activities at SPLASH! family pool, complete with water slides and inflatable toys. Hours of fun is also on offer at the adjacent outdoor playground. Numerous activities such as magic shows and kite flying are organised by the professional Planet Trekkers team will keep younger guests occupied throughout the day. It was pointed out that all the child care staff are trained teachers.

Under the guidance of talented chefs at the dedicated KCC cooking school, children will not only learn and practice preparing their favourite treats, but also gain knowledge of local ingredients. The young child chefs will also have the opportunity to show off their skills to their parents at the Kid’s Corner at Sora & Umi restaurant afterwards.

The HARNN Heritage Spa is located in a secluded corner of the resort. The beautifully appointed bamboo treatment suites appear to ‘float’ on the lush Lotus Lagoon.It is a place of natural serenity offering guests a unique and luxurious wellness experience inspired through the long tradition of healing Asian therapies. I took the opportunity to unwind with a serene shoulder massage treatment.

INK360 the island’s highest sky bar and exudes glamour and style. It was designed by Ashley Sutton and is open from 4 pm till midnight. Each evening I enjoyed the drinks and snacks high up on the 19th floor rooftop while enjoying the unparalleled views of the sparkling ocean and the magnificent ocean sunsets. I can't remember the names of the cocktail I had, but they were very refreshing. They were made especially for me based on my preferences.
SORA & UMI is where I savoured my international buffet breakfasts each morning while I gazed over the ocean and pool views. I was impressed with the huge range of food items on offer from many Asian and Western countries. Each item was fresh and tasty. In addition to breakfast, each lunch and dinner time the restaurant serves Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine. It is open from 6.30 am to 10.30 pm.
SEASHACK is a relaxed beachfront seafood restaurant. Here guests can dine on comfort food and mouthwatering dishes in the presence of cool ocean breezes.

I can personally recommend the pizzas, as I had several types and they were all delicious. They also serve refreshing poolside drinks, gelato and snacks. It is open from 7 am to 7 pm.
