BANGKOK—Centara Beach Resort & Spa Phu Quoc became the latest Vietnamese property acquired by Centara Hotels & Resorts after a management contract was signed with the owners, Binh Le Xuan Ltd. Companies and Commercial Services.
The resort is Centara’s second property on Phu Quoc Island and is slated to open in third quarter.
Chris Bailey, Centara’s VP/sales and marketing, stated, “This new resort is a highly desirable acquisition for us because it has a different style and product focus than our other properties in the region, so we will be able to expand our appeal to a wider cross-section of the market.”
The resort will have 143 rooms, meeting facilities, restaurant, a swimming pool complete with pool bar, a fitness center and full wireless connectivity throughout the property, Kid’s Club and a spa.
Centara Beach Resort & Spa Phu Quoc is located on the main coast of Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam’s Kien Giang Province, and is a 10-minute drive from Phu Quoc International Airport, which is serviced from Ho Chi Minh Airport and Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi.
