InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach
At 5.9km the airport transfer is the shortest of the five Phu Quoc areas we cover, and the two- and three-bedroom ocean-view residences solve a group that will not fit in one room. The catch is the belt it sits in: there is no walkable strip, so every evening out starts with booking a car.

Location & getting around — 5.9km to the airport, 9.8km to the cable car
The resort sits on Bai Truong, in the middle of the belt of resorts running south from Duong Dong.
The headline number is the transfer: 5.9km straight-line to Phu Quoc International Airport, shorter than any other area on this island covered here. Both the resort and guest reviews put it at around 15 minutes by car. The southern corridor has road works, though, so that figure is not fixed — leave slack if you have an early flight.
Southern sights are relatively close: the Hon Thom cable car at 9.8km, Ho Quoc Pagoda at 4.9km and a beach club at 4.7km. The northern theme parks are the opposite end of the island.
The trade-off is that nothing is walkable. Reviews describe the surroundings plainly: resorts, and more resorts. There is a night market within a five-minute drive, which several reviews mention using — but a drive is a drive. If your evenings involve eating out, this address turns that into a daily ride-hail booking.
Rooms & occupancy — Classic Ocean View and a three-bedroom residence
The resort opened in 2018 and has 459 rooms. Check-in is 3pm and check-out is noon.
The range starts at Classic, moves through Classic Ocean View Balcony in one-king and two-single layouts, then Junior Suite Ocean View Balcony, then a Classic room with club lounge access.
Where this resort separates itself is occupancy. Above the one-bedroom ocean-view residence, the two-bedroom residence comes as one king plus one single or one king plus one queen, and the three-bedroom ocean-view residence has two kings and two singles. A two-bedroom family suite is listed as well. Two rooms with the same bedroom count can sleep different numbers here, so the full room name matters more than usual.
Children aged 4 to 11 stay free. Actual stay records include the Classic Ocean View Balcony and the two-bedroom family suite. By traveller type, groups rate it highest at 9.3.
Facilities — pools, a private beach and a 24-hour gym
There is a private beach, outdoor pools, a children’s pool, a kids club, a spa, a beauty salon, a gym, gardens, restaurants and bars, and buffet dining. The gym is listed as free and open 24 hours, and bicycles are available. Event space runs to nine halls with capacity up to 1,000.
Breakfast is what reviews return to most: range, pho and fruit come up repeatedly. Reviews also note more than one pool, so crowding is spread, plenty of greenery for cycling, and housekeeping twice a day. Several mention a messaging channel for requests that works in Korean as well as English.
Three things to weigh. Reviews describe food and drinks being cleared very quickly — leave a table for a few minutes and a plate may be gone. One review notes a musty smell in the games area used by children. And, as above, reviews report being told the airport transfer depends on the rate rather than being complimentary.
Best for
- Four or more people who need bedrooms rather than extra beds
- Short trips where arrival and departure days matter
- Stays where the days happen on the property
Not ideal if
- You want to walk out to a night market after dinner
- You are budgeting on the assumption that airport transfers are included
- The theme parks and safari are the main plan — they are at the other end of the island
Compared & alternatives — what the other areas offer instead
If walking out to dinner matters, this is the wrong end of the island. Seashells Phu Quoc puts the night market 230m away — the exact opposite proposition.
If the theme parks and safari drive the itinerary, Vinpearl Resort & Spa Phu Quoc is inside that complex, though the airport moves out to 25.3km — more than four times as far.
If the cable car and the southern islands are the plan, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay is 2.4km from the cable car station against 9.8km here.
What this resort really sells is a 15-minute transfer in exchange for a car-dependent evening. Where that trade sits against the rest of the island is set out in Where to Stay in Phu Quoc.
Bottom line — built for groups that want to stop moving
5.9km to the airport and a three-bedroom residence are the two reasons to book this. For four or more people who want bedrooms rather than rollaway beds, and who would rather not spend arrival day in a car, the conditions line up.
Against that, every evening outside the gate is a booked ride. Decide how much of the stay is meant to happen on the property before you compare it with the town.
FAQ
Can five people stay in one unit?
Yes. Two-bedroom ocean-view residences come in a king-plus-single layout and a king-plus-queen layout, and the three-bedroom ocean-view residence has two kings and two singles. A two-bedroom family suite is listed separately. Bed configuration changes between similarly named types, so read the full room name on the booking screen.
How long is the airport transfer?
The airport is 5.9km away. The resort and guest reviews both put it at roughly 15 minutes by car. The southern corridor has road works, though, so treat that as approximate and leave slack on an early departure.
Is the airport transfer included?
An airport transfer service is listed, but reviews report being told it is not free and depends on the rate booked. Check what your rate includes before you rely on it.
Is there anywhere to go in the evening?
Not on foot. Reviews mention a night market within a five-minute drive that made evenings easier, but it is still a drive. Duong Dong's night market is further again.

Other stays in this city
- Seashells Phu Quoc
230m to the night market, 120m to Duong Dong market. On an island where almost every hotel needs a car for dinner, this one does not — but the beach in front is short.
- JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay
The closest of these five to the cable car, and the highest-rated for service. It also faces south-east, so the sun does not set over the water here.
- Vinpearl Resort & Spa Phu Quoc
Inside the northern complex, with a free shuttle linking the parks. If the parks are the trip, nothing shortens the day more — but the airport is 25.3km away.
- Novotel Phu Quoc
It sits in the southern resort belt but has a night market at the gate — and children stay free up to 15, which is the widest band of any Phu Quoc property covered here.
