The Hoa Sim lounge at Phu Quoc airport has no other quality than to exist, with its simple style and limited catering.
The vacations are coming to an end and it’s time for me to set course for Europe again. But first I have to get back to Saigon for my flight home. I’ll be flying business class on Vietnam Airlines, so I’ll be taking advantage of the Vietnamese airline’s lounge at Phu Quoc airport before taking my flight.
You’ll find at the bottom of the page a summary of the articles about this vacation in Vietnam.
Location of the lounge
Once through security, the lounge is located in the terminal’s main (and only) hall, on the left.
Given the airport’s modest size, it’s close to every gate.
Access to the lounge
This is clearly the airport’s one and only lounge, so it welcomes all eligible passengers, regardless of their airline.
First and foremost those of the airlines with which it has a contract, but also holders of many bank cards (but not the Amex Platinum) and Priority Pass cards.
Lounge layout
When you enter the lounge, the buffet is immediately on your right.
Then there’s a single, large room that forms the lounge itself.
Very bright, with bay windows everywhere, and a style that’s not too shabby, even a little nicer than the Vietnam Airlines lounges we’ve seen so far, but simple and basic all the same.
Catering
The catering offer is very limited and not very appetizing.
Drinks are just as limited. Tea, coffee, water and beer and that’s it.
Lounge facilities
The lounge has a toilet in, well, acceptable condition.
Atmosphere
Very quiet during my stay.
Bottom line
If you’re going to wait an hour, you might as well wait in a lounge. While this one is a little prettier than the Vietnam Airlines lounges seen so far, it lacks style and personality, and the food and beverage offer is rather undignified.
It has the merit of existing, and that’s all.
