INK 360 Rooftop Drinks Experience at InterContinental Phu Quoc

INK 360 puts you high above Phu Quoc’s coast, in a bar built around a giant deep-sea Kraken. The 19th-floor setting and wide sunset views make this more than a quick drink stop: you come for the outlook as much as what’s in the glass.

I like two things in particular: the bold Ashley Sutton design, which gives the room a memorable sense of drama, and the set-menu options, which make it easier to plan a shared drink and snack without ordering everything separately. Reviews also point to friendly service and good food, not just a photogenic room.

The main caveat is the weather. Rain can spoil the sunset, and outdoor access may not always be available, so this is a less certain choice if an open-air view is the whole point of your evening.

Key points

• The bar sits on the 19th floor, with 360-degree views across the sea and coastline.
• The Kraken-inspired interior is a destination in itself, with theatrical lighting and sculptural forms by designer Ashley Sutton.
• Sunset is the best reason to time your visit carefully, with one 5:30 PM booking described as a good slot.
• The Golden Hour set includes two beers and food for up to two people, including Vietnamese beef betel leaf and potato fried.
• Rain and outdoor-area rules can change the experience, so the view is not guaranteed.
• The bar opens daily from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, at InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort.

INK 360 is inside InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort, at Bai Truong in Duong To. The address is useful to have ready: INK 360 Rooftop Bar, InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort by IHG. The venue is open every day from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

The bar’s height changes the feel of an ordinary evening drink. From the 19th floor, the sea and coastline take up much of the view, and the open-air rooftop gives you a broad outlook rather than a framed glimpse from a low terrace. On a clear evening, that makes sunset the natural centrepiece.

Your experience is centered on a set menu at the bar, rather than a guided tour or a multi-stop outing. You arrive at the resort, head to INK 360, and settle in for drinks and food with the view as your backdrop. The exact pacing is up to you, but arriving in time for sunset gives you the best chance to see the light change.

The Kraken-inspired room

Ashley Sutton’s design takes a theatrical route. Ink, metal and the surrounding ocean inform the look, while sculptural shapes and dark textures give the interior the feel of a giant sea creature’s lair. It is a strong contrast with the open horizon outside, and it gives the bar a distinct identity beyond its height.

That design is worth considering if you like a place with some personality. This is not a plain rooftop terrace where the view does all the work. The room itself is part of the outing, and the lighting and dramatic forms make it feel suited to a special evening or a date.

There is a practical trade-off, though. If your priority is a simple, quiet drink in an open-air setting, the bold interior may feel more theatrical than you need. And if rain or venue rules keep you inside, the design becomes a larger part of the experience while the panoramic view becomes less accessible.

Timing your drink around the sunset

INK 360 is open from late afternoon through 11:00 PM, and sunset is the clearest reason to choose an early booking. One visitor found a 5:30 PM slot worked well: the sun was strong at first, then the sunset became visible around 10 to 15 minutes later. That timing is a useful clue, though the exact sunset and weather will vary by date.

Plan for a transition rather than a single perfect moment. You may arrive in bright light, have time to order and settle in, then watch the sky change as the evening progresses. The broad sea horizon is especially appealing at this hour, but clouds, rain and glare can all affect the view.

After sunset, the bar still has a reason to stay open. The interior lighting and cocktails make it a place for an evening drink, and one visitor reported seeing Sunset Town fireworks from above. Treat that as a possible bonus, not a scheduled part of the experience: the information provided does not promise fireworks on any particular night.

What comes with the Golden Hour set

The Golden Hour package includes two beers, Vietnamese beef betel leaf and potato fried. Each set menu serves up to two people, so the price covers a small shared food-and-drink outing rather than a single cocktail. It is a sensible format for a couple or two friends who want to try the setting without building a full meal from separate orders.

The food matters here. Several comments singled out its quality, with praise for the taste and generous portions. That helps the set feel like more than a view fee with a drink attached. Still, the listed Golden Hour items are a compact snack-style spread, not a full dinner menu, so plan another meal if you expect a substantial supper.

Other packages are called Sunset Sparkler, INK 360 Signature and Sea Breeze. Their listed starting prices are US$18.35, US$27.99 and US$31.39, respectively, while Golden Hour starts at US$16.89. Package details provided here apply specifically to Golden Hour, so do not assume the other options contain the same food or drinks.

The experience summary also gives a price from US$18.59. Since package prices vary and the displayed starting amounts differ, check the price and inclusions for your chosen option at booking. The value depends on what you want: Golden Hour is a straightforward shared set, while a higher-priced option may suit you if its specific inclusions match your plans.

Drinks, service and the overall feel

INK 360 offers signature cocktails, premium spirits and light bites, with a menu described as playful and inspired by Caribbean pirates. Expect strong flavors and eye-catching presentation rather than a conventional drink list alone. If you enjoy a cocktail with a little theatre, the menu fits the room’s dramatic style.

The strongest praise centres on attentive service, good food and the setting. That combination is important: a rooftop bar can look impressive in photographs, but good service and a well-prepared snack make the evening more comfortable once you sit down. The food is repeatedly described as delicious, and the staff are described as friendly.

The set menus also offer a way to keep spending predictable. At a resort bar, ordering drinks and food separately can make the final bill harder to gauge. A set gives you a defined starting point, though any extra drinks, food or personal purchases are outside the package.

Weather, outdoor access and expectations

The view is the main draw, but it is also the least controllable part of the visit. Rain can obscure the sunset, as happened on one visit when the outdoor view was poor. Even with the weather working against it, the bar’s atmosphere and food were still considered worthwhile, which suggests the interior can carry the evening when the sky does not.

Outdoor access may also be subject to restrictions. One visitor arrived expecting to enjoy the outdoor view but was told the area was closed, despite seeing other people go outside to smoke. That is a frustrating mismatch if you have booked mainly for open-air scenery. The details do not explain when or why access might be limited, so I would not treat the rooftop view as guaranteed.

If the forecast looks wet, decide whether you would still enjoy the drinks, food and interior. If the answer is no, consider choosing another evening or making a booking only when you are comfortable with the possibility of sitting inside. If the answer is yes, the bar can still make a pleasant stop even without a clear sunset.

How much time to allow, and who will enjoy it

No fixed visit length is given. Since this is a drink set rather than a timed tour with several stops, you can make it a brief sunset drink or stay into the evening. An early slot gives you a chance to see both daylight and dusk, while a later visit shifts the focus toward cocktails and the interior.

I would choose INK 360 for a date night, a special-occasion drink, or an evening when you want a panoramic view without committing to a full dining experience. It also suits people who enjoy design-led bars and striking presentation. The set for up to two makes the Golden Hour option an easy fit for a pair.

Families should pay attention to the evening rules. There is no general age limit for the activity, but children under 12 are not allowed from 8:00 PM. Vietnam’s legal drinking age is 18, and you should bring valid identification if you need to prove your age.

Price, booking and small practical details

Prices depend on the package. Golden Hour starts at US$16.89, Sunset Sparkler at US$18.35, INK 360 Signature at US$27.99 and Sea Breeze at US$31.39. The experience summary separately lists a starting price of US$18.59, so check the current price shown for the exact package and date before you book.

The package price does not cover other personal expenses or tips and gratuities. The voucher is valid only on the specified date, and confirmation should arrive within minutes. If it does not appear, contact customer support.

Changes are generally allowed until 24 hours before the activity starts, but there are stated exceptions for some pass, presale and promotional bookings, and bookings where the voucher has not yet been issued. A full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the activity date, using destination local time. Check your booking’s own terms before relying on a change or cancellation.

Should you book INK 360?

Book INK 360 if you want a memorable rooftop setting, a wide sea view and a drink-and-snack package that is easy to share. The design, sunset position and positive comments about service and food make it a good choice for a stylish evening, especially if you arrive early enough to watch the light change.

Skip it, or keep your expectations flexible, if you need guaranteed open-air access or a clear sunset. Rain and restrictions can change the view, and the Golden Hour food is a snack set rather than a complete dinner. If you are happy to pay for the setting and the chance of a spectacular evening, it is a worthwhile Phu Quoc stop. If the view is the only thing that matters, check the forecast and choose your timing carefully.
