American hotel chain Wyndham Hotels and Resorts have just opened its largest establishment in Phu Quoc, Vietnam
As Vietnam’s tourism industry grows exponentially, so too are the number of hotels and resorts in the country—with the latest addition being Wyndham Grand Phu Quoc. Located along the popular Bai Dai beach, the hotel isn’t just another Wyndham property. In fact, it’s currently the largest Wyndham Grand in the world.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’s vice president of operations South East Asia & Pacific Rim Ben Schumacher shared that Vietnam is a “critical market for Wyndham in the region”. It’s especially so in an emerging destination like Phu Quoc island, which “in just a few years, has quickly become one of the country’s premier tourist spots,” he continued.
On top of its 1,378 rooms and 21 villas, the latest resort boasts a range of facilities and entertainment centres. That includes the Corona casino, an outdoor swimming pool, a shopping street, a kid’s club, indoor cinema and more. With plenty to keep you entertained, you won’t even need to leave the resort while you’re here.
So, when we were invited for a two-night stay at the lavish hotel for its grand opening ceremony, we had to give it a go.

First Impressions
Hospitality began once we stepped out of Phu Quoc airport. Since it’s situated a 25-minute ride away, the resort offers transport services to and from the airport. While this may not be a big gesture to some, we were grateful as it added a touch of convenience to our trip.
As we arrived late in the evening, we weren’t able to make out the grand-scale exterior of the hotel entirely. However, upon entering, we immediately noticed how big it was—from its spacious lobby to a shopping street located right in the middle of the hotel.
We were met with friendly staff who promptly took our luggage and assisted with checking us in. The check-in process was quick, which is always a plus. We were also guided in scanning our faces, which would be used to enter the various restaurants, attractions and facilities around the resort.
