PHÚ QUỐC —  CEO Group on Sunday inaugurated its Best Western Premier Sonasea Phu Quoc resort in the southern province of Kiên Giang.

Located in Phú Quốc Island’s Dương Tơ Commune, the resort has an area of more than 34,800sq.m with total investment of VNĐ1.5 trillion (US$64.6 million). The resort is the area’s first US-style five-star resort managed by Best Western Group.

The resort has 549 apartments and 16 high-end sea view villas.

CEO Group is one of the three biggest investors in Phú Quốc and runs the Novotel Phu Quoc Resort and Novotel Villas.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mai Anh Nhịn, vice chairman of Kiên Giang People’s Committee, said the project would help ease the shortage of five-star hotel rooms in Phú Quốc.

Olivier Berrivin, a representative of Best Western in Asia-Pacific region, said the project is one of the largest scale for Best Western Group in Việt Nam.

Trần Đạo Đức, deputy general director of CEO Group, said the project showed their commitment to turning Phú Quốc into an international tourism centre. It was also a step to develop a five star resort chain of 3,000 to 5,000 rooms nationwide by 2021. — VNS
