Thai hotelier inks deal for Phu Quoc Resort

A major Thai hotelier group has just signed a deal to manage a four-star resort on Vietnam’s Phu Quoc Island. At the CentralWorld Convention Centre in Bangkok, directors of the Centara Hotels & Resorts signed a management deal with Binh Le Xuan Limited to operate Centara Beach Resort & Spa Phu Quoc

Commenting on the acquisition, Centara marketing vice-president Chris Bailey said the property was a definite asset to the hotelier group’s portfolio. He expounded by saying it was a different kind of resort to other Centara ones in Vietnam and allowed the group to attract a broader cross-section of clientele. 

Centara Phu Quoc is situated beside the pristine sands of the island’s Long Beach and is due to open in the third fiscal quarter of 2015. It will offer 143 accommodation options as well as features including a swimming pool with poolside café, a signature Centara Spa Cenvaree and dedicated children’s facility. 

The latest addition to the Centara collection is the second on Phu Quoc and brings the group’s total up to 78. Although Phu Quoc’s west coast beach is home to lots of hotels and resorts, most of the interior and other beaches boast an unspoilt natural environment.
