Viewers PLEASE do not be clouded by this video. I just spent a month motorbiking in Vietnam and spent my last few days in Phu Quoc. Don't go to Vietnam if you don't want to truly experience it. Don't show up to the island and go directly to a western resort to surround yourself with pricey amenities. This video was in pursuit of pampering and focused on the antiseptic parts of the island while minimizing the rest of it. Please don't make the mistake of arriving as a westerner who says the motorbike ride between north and south is "rough" because it rained and she is wearing new pants. Or, implies the "imbalance" of the island needs to be fixed. Sunset Town and Grand World are mesmerizing and you MUST go there. But you can also support the locals and get a fantastic little bungalow with a pool and personal service for $30 a night. You can enjoy an incredible assortment of restaurants, cafes and local interactions. You can get the authentic experience of Vietnam with all of the little villages. And you can do it all on a cheap motorbike with very easily traveled roads. I got a flat motorbike tire on a isolated road at night on Phu Quoc and it added to the fun of the adventure using Google translate to find a repair shop. Go enjoy all of the island. Just don't wear you new pants.
@@bhavyabatra1152 Absolutely. We stayed at the "Phu Quoc Bungalow, Yen Thanh"which is in a great area just a few minutes north of Phu Quoc City. Less than $30 you get a neat little bungalow with kitchen and AC and a pool on the nicely kept property. They have scooters to rent and will pick you up or drop you off at the airport. Better to pay them than a taxi. If you want a busier place there are many options in Phu Quoc City and even for the same price in Grand World or Sunset Town if you like the manicured environment. Wherever you stay, everything is easily accessible while slowly cruising around the island on a cheap motorbike.
I agree completely with what your saying.... This hotel could be anywhere in the world. If your going to Vietnam staying in a smaller Boutique hotel or better still a Home Stay is by far the best way to go. Im only quessing Malina has VERY deep pockets !!!!. Max. Australia.
@maxdavies9327 Very deep pockets....or wants to appear that way...hehe. And regardless of the depth of pockets, there's an ROI threshold at $30-50 per night for a place to stay.
Beautiful video and you always have a smile on your face. You are a happy girl. Have a great holiday. You also need to visit Sunset town at night and see the Kiss bridge. Watch the water show.
I usually go to walt disney world every year for vacation. This year I am going to Phu Quoc mainly because I want to actually relax and not have to deal with long lines, huge crowds and very annoying tourist. I can't wait.
Great video! We're also planning a trip to Phu Quoc this year, and I'd like to bring a drone for some aerial footage. Did you need a special permit to fly your drone there?
Thank you for watching! I am happy you liked it! For the drone, you do not need any permission as long as you respect the limit of 120 meters. I am not sure about the big drones but for the small ones you do no need permission 🙌
Could you let me know which video camera you used? The footage from the night show looks impressive - there’s hardly any noise in the dark environment.
Thank you for watching! This is actually a very good question. As far as we managed to find out, these cities were built as a replica of Mediterranean cities, not having as a purpose to fully accommodate people. In the same time, the construction took about 7 years and it was finalized only 4 years ago, so we were thinking that the project is still quite new and not many businesses had time to be set there.
@@MalinasvibeCompleted 4 years ago but still quiet 😮 Is it an area for millionaires? There is an elite area in Jakarta, namely PIK, the building is not finished yet but many people have ordered it

Hello! First of all thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed it. In regards to your question, yes it’s same visa for Vietnam, you do not need a separate visa, exactly how you go from Hanoi to Saigon for example, even you do not need to go trò the immigration office when you are flying because you are flying domestic 🙌
I hear that foreign tourists don't need visa if they only stay on the island but if they want to leave the island to go to the Main Land they do need to obtain visa.
@@bigbearddahuzi1036 yes! It gives a weird feeling overall. We still feel like we didn’t find the truth about this project. It was an interesting experience.
If you're a foreigner then you're going to hate this concept of course because you as a western you do not want to visit western concepts when you come to Asia and it’s totally normal, but most Vietnamese and Asian can’t afford to travel to Europe so I think this is cater to them
@Malinasvibe no I am asian. I prefer authentic environment. Not the fake feeling of going to a theme park. Example Laos has temples like thailand. Bali has hindu influence. But if I enter ba na hill and phu quoc, what do I see? Theme park right? And a "safari". So not my cup of tea.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Duhh. If you are expecting Buddhist or Hindu culture on the island you make a mistake, It was an empty island used to belong to Cambodia, Vietnam under Nguyen dynasty conquered it and start colonizing the island like 100-200 years ago.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Be chill, pal! You do have the right not to like this island but others will like it . Fake French village like Bana Hills has been a tremendous success financially and they are even expanding it. Not everybody hates fake stuff like you do.
I have wanted to visit Phu Quoc for a long time now, thinking it was an undiscovered tropical paradise...but these recent vlogs have just put me off completely.. horrible Disney influenced western hell. We shan't be going. Honest vlog though.
Recently I had A PERFECT DAY In Dubai, ENJOY WATCHING ❤️

love❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going there next year I can’t wait 🎉
I hope you will enjoy 🙏
It is so colorful there! Nice finding!
It really is! I am happy you liked it 🥰
This was my first day on Phu Quoc Island! thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed it. 😍
I am planning to go this month how hot or cold weather in this location ?
@@weigehts5560 the weather there was too hot, you can expect a rain from time to time during the day 😁
Beautiful video and you always have a smile on your face. You are a happy girl. Have a great holiday. You also need to visit Sunset town at night and see the Kiss bridge. Watch the water show.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am happy you enjoyed watched my videos! 😇🙏
Beautiful Malina, stunning
Thank you! 😊

I am sure you will have a great time in Phu Quoc! Enjoy your trip 🙏🇻🇳
Beautiful I wanna go there
Thank you 🙏😊
I never heard if this island before, it looks nice
Thank you for watching! I am happy to hear you liked it 🥰
Hi what type of room you stayed in radisson blu hotel
I think we had a suite with sea view 😍🙏
Such an awesome video! May I ask what time does the performance in the grand world starts?
I am happy you liked it! 🙏
The water show starts at 21:30.
Enjoy your time in Vietnam 🙂
Thank you! 🙏🙌
Beautiful hotel
Thank you for watching! The hotel was so nice, I highly recommend it!
Great video! We're also planning a trip to Phu Quoc this year, and I'd like to bring a drone for some aerial footage. Did you need a special permit to fly your drone there?

Wow awesome 😊
Thank you ! 🥰 I am happy you liked it!
How would be the weather in the month of April?
In April can be the perfect time to visit the island 🏝️
This Island is better than Maldives as Maldives have only beach and sea, this Island is like the Seychelles.
I am happy to hear you liked it! Indeed, they are many things you can do there 😁😊
Does Grab operate in Phu Quoc?
Yes, but not on the whole island
Free bus ride!
What time of year did you go?
June
Could you let me know which video camera you used? The footage from the night show looks impressive - there’s hardly any noise in the dark environment.
Any update on the garbage issue at the beaches , please ?
Resort owned beaches are pretty clean, public beaches can be a bit polluted. Same as everywhere in VN actually.
Beautiful and attractive. But why does it look deserted and the building is uninhabited?
Thank you for watching! This is actually a very good question.

@@MalinasvibeCompleted 4 years ago but still quiet 😮
Is it an area for millionaires?
There is an elite area in Jakarta, namely PIK, the building is not finished yet but many people have ordered it
Now there are only a few hotels and restaurants, I do not think the people started to buy the apartments, I think they are very expensive
@@Malinasvibe Very expensive means it's not their market, simple 😉
Easy. Like ba na hills, phu quoc is built for vietnamese to enjoy European settings. Not many vietnamese can afford going to Europe due to cost.
Did you get a permit when flying the drone?

Empty resort just like Chinese building new ghost cities anywhere
Do they have bike rentals?
I got our scooter from +84 32 722 3366, you can contact them they have the best prices
❤
🥰🙏
European have to promote Sun Group and Vin Pearl without background! Very wise! The future generation!
Hey i have a couple of questions. Does it have same visa as vietnamese visa? Or do we need to apply separately?
Hello! First of all thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed it.

@@locyentam True.
Visa free!
If you force me to pick bali or phu quoc. I pick bali.
Thank you for watching!
Yes, Bali is bigger and definitely has a wide variety of activities.
@@Malinasvibe and more nature
Chon bali sao hong đi bali
Bali is overrated and the beach is full of garbage
Ill be there traveling solo around mid october. Anyone game to link up ?
Enjoy your trip!
@Malinasvibe thanks! Is mid to late Oct a good time for the beach and for partying?
I'll be visiting mid-October! Always happy to meet new people whilst travelling
@Rickai85 excellent! Looking forward to meeting up mate
Way too Europe.
That European theme is not it! Least for me it isn't! Feels like it takes away the authenticity of the island!
Totally
But fireworks and lighshow in the evenig is awesome 😉
looks awful plastic and like disney world
Those pretty buildings are all empty. It was like walking through a ghost town. The rest of the island looks nothing like that
@@bigbearddahuzi1036 yes! It gives a weird feeling overall. We still feel like we didn’t find the truth about this project. It was an interesting experience.
Podrían mudar a los lugareños hasta ese nuevo mundo y llevar la población exiliada por guerras que no desean así como los palestinos 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Just an island built for tourists.

Boring video, not interested in your hotels.
@@kobe248ryant oh really? I’m sorry to hear this. What would represent a point of interest for you? 🤔
Right? This is Vietnam? Feels like a sterile tourist trap.
@@animals4955 The rest of the island is more like mainland Vietnam.

Thank you for watching! I also have mixed feelings about Phu Quoc now that I visited it
so empty
😬😬
