Location
Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay by IHG presents a unique dichotomy in terms of its location, offering both seclusion and convenience. Nestled on a stunning stretch of powder-white beach with calm crystal waters, it is an ideal spot for those seeking relaxation and tranquility away from the bustling main town. The hotel is notably near the vibrant attractions of Grand World and VinWonders, with a mere 10-15 minute walk or a short drive making them easily accessible. This proximity offers guests the chance to enjoy the best of Phu Quoc's northern coast while still relishing a peaceful atmosphere.
Despite its picturesque and serene setting, the location can be a bit remote for those who prioritize proximity to the bustling city center or enjoy a variety of nearby dining and shopping options. The main city of Lille and other popular tourist spots on the island are a bit further away, making taxis or shuttles a necessity for more urban excursions. However, the enthralling combination of a private beach, family-friendly amenities, and easy access to nearby attractions makes this location highly recommended for travelers who value peace, seclusion, and the occasional exploration of Phu Quoc's entertainment offerings.
Breakfast
The breakfast experience at Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay by IHG is generally well-received by guests, highlighting an extensive and diverse selection that caters to varied palates.

Guests frequently mention the deliciousness of the breakfast, emphasizing a superb dining environment and attentive service. Some reviews acknowledge that the menu changes daily, maintaining interest and providing a delightful variety of dishes, including specialties like pho and rice noodles. While some guests find the breakfast to be underwhelming compared to other 5-star establishments in the area, the overall sentiment leans towards a luxurious and satisfying morning meal experience, marked by excellent quality, which notably includes the acclaimed Vietnamese coffee.
Dinner
The dining experience at Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay by IHG garners a mix of reviews, showcasing certain highlights alongside some areas for improvement. Guests often commend the dinner buffet, particularly enjoying the grilled seafood and BBQ options, which are a notable hit each night. The inclusion of dinner with other amenities, such as the excellent breakfast, is also appreciated, contributing to an overall positive culinary experience. Some diners find the food to be of high quality, with delicious regional theme menus and meals providing satisfaction.
Despite these positives, there are areas where the dining leaves guests wanting more. The restaurant offerings are perceived as monotonous and lacking variety, leading to guest fatigue, particularly over extended stays. Issues like slow service and a limited menu exacerbated by rather elevated pricing add to the dining drawbacks. For families, the limited dinner coverage only for adults can be inconvenient. The dining experience, while meeting certain standards, reveals room for greater menu diversity and timeliness of service to fully cater to a guest's palate and elevate the resort's culinary reputation.
