Review: Novotel Phu Quoc Resort Breakfast

Hello.🖐️🖐️ In my previous post, I introduced the deluxe bungalow room at Novotel Resort, where I stayed for 2 nights on my trip to Phu Quoc, and today I’ll tell you more about the buffet breakfast. The Novotel Resort in Phu Quoc, Vietnam was booked for about 80,000 won per night including breakfast, so it was quite cost-effective, and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a resort in Phu Quoc with a good location and good value for money : )

About Phu Quoc Novotel Resort

I visited Phu Quoc in June, and it was hot and humid, even compared to the middle of summer in Korea. It was the kind of weather that makes you want to go back inside as soon as you step out of your room in the morning, but I eagerly made my way to the restaurant for breakfast.

Breakfast is available from 6:30am to 10:30am at the restaurant Food Exchange. The busiest time is from 8am to 9:30am, so it’s best to avoid this time. Apparently, you can also have a floating breakfast for VND500,000 if you request it separately.

You can also find out about discounts for Accor’s paid hotel membership called Accor Plus. You can get discounts such as 25% for one person, 50% for two people, 33% for three people, etc. 👍 I also have Accor Plus, so I can save money by ordering a meal or drink for two people at a restaurant and getting 50% off.

리조트 규모가 있는 만큼 식당도 상당히 큰 규모를 자랑했는데요, 야외에도 테이블이 있긴 하지만 너~~무 덥기 때문에 당연히 야외에 앉은 것은 거의 불가능했습니다. 실내에서 전망은 창가 쪽이 좋긴 하지만 창가 쪽도 상대적으로 덥기 때문에, 에어컨이 시원한 곳을 찾아서 자리를 잡았습니다. 다만 어디든 시원하다기보다 덥지 않을 정도의 온도라고 보시면 될 것 같습니다.

Breakfast at Novotel Phu Quoc Resort

The first thing that caught my eye was the fruit. I really like fruits, and I was happy that the fruits were sweet and there were so many types of fruits👍👍 I was a little disappointed that there were no fresh mangoes, but you can buy mangoes at Sonasi Night Market right in front of the hotel for 2,000 won for 1kg.

Since Vietnam was a French colony, most breakfast places have a bakery section 👍 I personally liked the mini-baguette, which is the bread used to make banh mi, so I took it home several times.

There are also a variety of salads, yogurts, and cereals that are indispensable for breakfast, so you can mix and match to your liking.

There’s a live section where they make a variety of egg dishes on the fly. I love omelettes, so I always order them, and as long as the eggs are cooked well, it’s a great breakfast : )

Other than that, they have a variety of hot foods like bacon, sausage, rice noodles, dim sum, and more. There are a lot of food options, but I personally didn’t find many of them appealing. Out of the 4 resort breakfasts I visited in Phu Quoc, this one was the least appealing. It was also the cheapest to book, but I would say that the menu is a bit disappointing.

Breakfast

I always love fruits, so I brought a lot of fruits. When I came to Southeast Asia, there were many tropical fruits that are hard to find in Korea👍👍 I was disappointed that there was no mango, but there were many delicious fruits with good sugar, so I was excited to taste them.

Personally, I loved the mini banh mi baguettes because they were crispy and savory👍👍 I don’t know how many I took and ate lol.

Since it’s Vietnam, each hotel has a corner where they make instant rice noodle soup, and the toppings change every day, and although the broth isn’t super rich, it’s pretty good for a quick and hot breakfast👍.
