After traveling around SouthEast Asia for two months, I found myself in desperate need of some R&R. And the Raddison Blu fit that bill to a T.
First off, Phu Quoc is a lovely little... um, "large" island in South Vietnam. Is it touristy and a little over the top? Why yes, but sometimes that's exactly what we need. Grand World is basically next door, a mock Venice, complete with river, Gondolas, and waterfront restaurants. It's cute and fun and the Raddison provides a golf cart to take you over and back basically anytime you like.
In addition to Grand World, you have VinWonder - which is kind of like a miniature Disneyland. The aquarium there is gigantic and beautiful, and filled with abundant and diverse species of fish. There's also a massive Ferris Wheel, a water park, rides, games, etc... making for a fun day. A free local bus will pick you up and drop you off in front of the hotel, or take a $2 taxi.
The real strength of the Raddison is the lovely staff, the peaceful pool, and the gorgeous white sand beach, all within a short walk of your room. They really go out of their way to make you enjoy your stay. So if you need a break from the grind of traveling, or are just looking for an amazing vacation, the Raddison Blu may be for you. The beds are super comfortable, they have plenty of English channels with movies, and their prices just can't be beat!
