MTC cost guide

What a beach week around Long Beach, Phu Quoc, costs

The priced stay is around Long Beach and Duong Dong, with beach time rather than an island-wide attraction package. A low activities line does not mean every excursion is free: the cable car, remote islands and mainland extensions are outside these examples.

Scope, dates and party

These are dated ground-cost examples for two adults sharing one room, staying six nights over seven days, 10–16 November 2026. International flights, visas, insurance and shopping are excluded. They are planning examples, not live booking offers or year-round price ranges.

What is specific to this budget

  • Hotel location changes daily transport: the examples assume a base near Long Beach.
  • Some transport lines are proxies from comparable fares, and their notes say so.
  • Each hotel tier has two baskets. A and B keep the same hotel, party and dates; they change the food and activity mix. A luxury hotel tier does not imply luxury dining or private transfers.

Dated cost examples

Six dated, itemised examples from 2026-11-10 to 2026-11-16: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in September 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.

Dated planning estimate for two adults sharing one room, 10–16 November 2026, seven days/six nights. Flights excluded. Actual prices, availability, taxes and transport timing may differ; see the assumptions.

Phu Quoc airport and short-taxi costs are planning proxies, not published fixed fares or confirmed quotes.

Practical notes

PQC airport transfers are modeled at VND 180,000 per vehicle each way, within a published local range. Local transport is a separate allowance for ten short taxi legs around the chosen base; no motorbike rental is assumed. The activity basket is deliberately beach and town walking, with no paid tour. Visa rules depend on actual routing and passport; an island stay does not establish mainland entry rights.

Limits of these examples

Bounded scope only; does not complete the entire country. Hotel board, bedding and cancellation are not exposed; tax field interpretation is recorded. Numeric traits/month scores are editorial proposals, not survey results, safety ratings or new scoring logic. Transfer source contains inconsistent wider-island figures; only narrow Duong Dong planning range used with low confidence. Food price categories are estimates; Ganh Dau is not mislabeled as the hotel neighbourhood.
