Where to eat and play in Phu Quoc at low cost?

I want to ask about places to eat and play in the south of Phu Quoc island that are not expensive this New Year's holiday.

I will go to Phu Quoc this New Year, have booked a flight and a room in the south of the island. I want to ask where to eat and play not too expensive because I heard that in Phu Quoc everything is quite expensive.

Readers and VnExpress newspaper please advise. Thank you.

The number of tourists will increase this New Year in Phu Quoc when up to 90% of the rooms in luxury hotels and resorts are full. 2-3 star hotels are also more than 50% full. Tourists should choose restaurants in advance. Order food 1-2 hours in advance if traveling in a large group. Carefully check the menu and food prices before ordering. Have a "real-life" experience instead of just listening to advice.

The following advice is provided by Ms. Cam Nhung, a tour guide in Phu Quoc, and the experiences of two tourists, Hoang Huong and Dieu Linh, from Hanoi, who made trips to Phu Quoc, the southern part of the island, in November and December.

In the southern part of the island, visitors can visit some free attractions:

- Sao Beach, Khem Beach

- Ham Ninh fishing village

- Some items in Sunset Town

- Ho Quoc Pagoda

- Pepper gardens along the road from Duong Dong to Suoi Tranh, facilities producing sim wine, pearl farming and fish sauce

- Phu Quoc Prison

- An Thoi Market

Some free experiences for tourists on New Year's Day

- Countdown 2024 at Anh Duong Square, Sunset Town right in front of Hon Thom cable car station. The program has a large stage with fireworks display and the participation of many famous artists.

- Eat and play at the Vui Phet night market (VUI-Fest Bazaar), in Sunset Town. VUI-Fest is open from 4pm to midnight every day, except for New Year's Day, when it will be open until 5am on January 1, 2024. Visitors can shop and eat at more than 50 stalls. There is also the Loạn Xoáng show, a combination of street circus and sound effects created from kitchen utensils and fishing gear.
