Review Vinpearl Land
In summary, after analyzing the factors in the 2 amusement parks Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc and Vinpearl Land Nha Trang, the travel blog would like to give its opinion a bit.
- Regarding the location, Vinpearl Land Nha Trang is more convenient, closer, a 10-minute motorbike ride away. As for Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc, it is further away, a bit cumbersome to ride a motorbike, because the road to Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc is still under construction, some parts of the road are rough, riding a motorbike can be quite tiring. If you are hesitant to ride a motorbike, taking the Vinpearl Land bus is also an option, as both Nha Trang and Phu Quoc have buses that take you there, but if you get motion sickness, it’s as if you didn’t go, being seasick won’t allow you to enjoy anything.
- As for ticket prices, as analyzed earlier in the blog, if you consider ticket prices based on the name, there may be some discrepancies, but if you consider multiple factors, they are quite similar, any service that one side lacks is replaced by another better service. So overlooking the ticket price differences is not worth discussing.
- Regarding the amusement areas, since I’m not a very adventurous person, I’m a bit hesitant about extreme thrill rides. For those who enjoy such thrilling games, both Vinpearl Land Nha Trang and Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc have enough games for you to enjoy.
- As for the shows, personally, I prefer Vinpearl Land Nha Trang because in the same place, you can watch a lot of shows, while at Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc, to watch all the amusement park shows, you have to go to Safari Phu Quoc to see the animal shows.
- Regarding the water park, I prefer Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc because the games are more modern, there are slightly more in terms of quantity, and the games also seem more innovative. To be honest, it’s because there are fewer Chinese tourists at Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc, so the staff here are more cheerful with Vietnamese guests, while Vinpearl Land Nha Trang is famous for having many Chinese tourists, so the staff here may not pay as much attention to the guests.
- Regarding the aquarium, Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc is definitely 100% better than Vinpearl Land Nha Trang, many people say that after visiting the aquarium at Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc, they don’t feel like visiting the aquarium at Vinpearl Land Nha Trang anymore because there is no comparison.
In conclusion, upon careful consideration, Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc seems slightly better in terms of the quality of services included in the ticket, while Vinpearl Land Nha Trang excels in the quantity of services included in the ticket. If you have never taken a cable car, Vinpearl Land Nha Trang has an advantage, while if you are passionate about the underwater world, Vinpearl Land Phu Quoc is better. I believe that after the travel blog has evaluated the above factors, you may have already found the answer to where to go next.
