31 Mar2023

You would possibly know that Phu Quoc is the most important island of Vietnam and essentially the most touristy one. In early 2023 I spent 28 stress-free days there and the final resort I stayed at was Lahana Resort Phu Quoc. On this weblog put up I’m going to inform you execs and cons of the resort and my private expertise there.

 

 

What I preferred at Lahana Resort Phu Quoc

• Location – the resort is located approx. a 15 minute drive from the Phu Quoc Worldwide Airport which I discovered very handy. Lahana Resort lies on a aspect avenue, not on the principle avenue which was a bonus to me. However on the similar time, there’s eating places, outlets, grocery shops and fruit avenue stalls inside strolling distance. And clearly, the Lengthy seashore will be reached inside a ten minute stroll from the resort. 
• I appreciated a welcome drink at examine in and in addition welcome fruit ready within the room.

 

 

• Buffet breakfast on the resort restaurant – I used to be actually comfortable about many breakfast choices. When resorts have nice breakfast, it’s all the time an enormous PLUS as then the company begin their day in temper. I really loved buffet breakfast, particularly contemporary fruit and contemporary juices. Each single morning I used to be trying ahead to guava or pineapple contemporary juice after which 5 completely different tropical fruits (papaya, bananas, dragon fruit, pineapple, watermelon, Vietnamese inexperienced fruit, rambutan and so forth.). When it’s sizzling outdoors, all I wish to eat within the morning is contemporary fruit to hydrate myself. I used to be actually grateful for contemporary fruit there and it was additionally completely ripe and able to eat which isn’t usually the case at many resorts, however there it was. Thumbs up for contemporary and good high quality meals! Clearly, they’ve many different meals there as nicely: contemporary salads, sizzling meals, soups, noodles, rice, meat, cheese, pastry, truffles, eggs and so forth.

 

 

• Lahana Resort Phu Quoc provides vegan and vegetarian breakfast choices as nicely. In the event you inform the resort about your particular eating regimen, it is possible for you to to select from 4 completely different veggie breakfast units. Every set accommodates a few completely different plates with greens, tofu, rice, soup and so forth. I solely tried quantity 2 and three and need to say that 3 was my favourite. I beloved tofu in tomato sauce and in addition veggie curry which have been a part of choice 3. If you wish to make sure to get a vegan or vegetarian breakfast (relying in your eating regimen), simply inform the reception the day earlier than so your breakfast will probably be prepared for you the next morning. 

 

 

I’ve been vegan since July 2013 which implies that I don’t eat any animal merchandise in any respect. In the event you’d wish to study extra about wholesome vegan eating regimen and learn how to appear and feel higher, examine my book Learn how to be match when touring.

 

• Subsequent to the restaurant there’s a stunning out of doors infinity pool that has 2 elements: swimming space for adults is 28 meters lengthy and 1.5 meters deep. And subsequent to it there’s additionally a shallow child pool the place youngsters can play. I beloved the pool views of the ocean and plush inexperienced forest across the resort. Actually, I might spend hours each within the pool and on the sunbed subsequent to it simply chilling with the sunshine scent of frangipani flowers round me. Aw, and the pool is open till 10pm which was wonderful for me as I take pleasure in swimming in the dead of night.
• Subsequent to the pool you’ll find the Ca Go restaurant with pool bar the place you may get drinks and meals in the course of the day.

 

 

 

 

• I came upon that once they began constructing the Lahana Resort Phu Quoc, they have been aiming for the whole lot from the supplies to be eco-friendly, for instance the chairs on the reception are product of bamboo bushes. And for take away breakfast they use containers created from bagasse (dry fiber from sugarcane).

• Free toiletries within the loos. Each shampoo and bathe gel are made in Vietnam, comprise no parabens and are biodegradable. They’re each created from components that don’t have an effect on land, bushes and groundwater.
• The resort panorama is breath-taking: many bushes and flowers, additionally my favourite frangipani bushes, some fruit bushes (e.g. jackfruit) and plenty of different inexperienced crops. Lots of these crops have been there for a very long time and so they weren’t destroyed when the resort was constructed. I admire that they tried to maintain them there on function. On the similar time, 1000’s of recent crops have been planted. And there’s a cute small river with tiny waterfalls flowing by means of the resort, yay!

 

 

• Free quick wifi across the property. It did work fairly nicely in most elements of the property.
• I had 2 completely different experiences on the resort. First, I stayed in a Deluxe Double Room with backyard view after which in a Deluxe Bungalow with backyard view. Bungalow was larger, with a nicer lavatory and had a mosquito web across the mattress.

 

 

• Bungalows have out of doors showers and indoor bathtubs. That’s precisely the type of lavatory I’d all the time want in a heat unique place like Phu Quoc. It made me really feel like having a shower within the forest. 
• Surprisingly, I had no mosquitos in my room/bungalow which made my keep extra nice. 
• There’s additionally a spa, convention room, child nook, billiard and a fitness center. Excellent news is that they haven’t solely numerous fitness center equipments obtainable there, however yoga mats so that you can use, too.

 

 

 

 

 

What I’d enhance at Lahana Resort Phu Quoc

 

All my suggestions for Lahana Resort Phu Quoc are solely particulars however particulars do matter. Particularly, when speaking of eco-tourism and our influence on nature, proper?

 

Turning into extra eco-friendly

Personally, I’d give attention to much more eco-friendly strategy:

• swap plastic straws on the restaurant with bamboo/steel straws
• swap water in plastic bottles for glass bottles. I’m speaking of water bottles that company obtain of their rooms/bungalows daily. I attempted to keep away from new plastic bottles so I didn’t ask for each day home conserving service and as a substitute, I used to be refilling my bottles at breakfast buffet from glass bottles.
• I’ve already mentioned with the resort staff that their future plan is to exchange small shampoo bottles with larger ones. Hopefully they’ll be capable to implement all these eco-friendly adjustments as quickly as attainable.

 

Extra suggestions:

• I’d add labels with written meals allergens subsequent to every meal at buffet breakfast so folks with particular eating regimen should not have to ask what they will and can’t eat, and even worse, they don’t have to fully keep away from some meals simply because they don’t know their components; e.g. dairy, nuts, gluten and so forth.
• I’m certain that European company would take pleasure in gluten-free pastry, bread and truffles at buffet breakfast. I often don’t eat these however in Europe it’s already quite common to have gluten-free choices.
• sadly, I’m very delicate to noise and I’ve to admit that I couldn’t sleep at Lahana Resort Phu Quoc very nicely due to loud music at evening coming from bars from the road. The music would end between 1am to 3am each single evening. I want the rooms/bungalows have been soundproof. Music noise at evening was the most important drawback for me and the one factor that was actually disturbing my stress-free keep.  

 

 

 

General, I did take pleasure in my keep at Lahana resort. Thanks a lot for internet hosting me and large because of all of the workers members who made my keep higher.
