During this time all travel companies are working at their full capacity to serve tourists.
If you travel in the peak season, you have to book the room in advance. However, Phu Quoc Island is still relatively new, and many new resorts and resorts are under construction.

Rainy seasons

Moreover, in the rainy season, you go to the coast in the southeast of the island near the town of An Thoi, the water here is usually smooth and precise, mainly in Sao Beach and Bai Khem beach.
