The Property — Anka Home
Anka Home is a straightforward three-star guesthouse in Duong Dong, Phu Quoc's main town. It feels like a no-frills Vietnamese family hotel: tiled floors, a small reception desk with a kettle of ginger tea, and a motor scooter parked in the hallway. The USP is location—three minutes' walk from the night market and Dinh Cau pier—and price. It suits independent travellers and couples who want a clean, central base without resort-style frills.
Chronicles of Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc was long a sleepy fishing and pepper-growing island, governed in turns by Cambodia, the Nguyen lords, and the French colonial administration from Cochinchina. Its modern transformation began after the 1975 reunification, when the Vietnamese government developed the island as a strategic outpost. The 1990s saw the first package tourism and a road circumventing the coast, but the real boom came after 2014, when Phu Quoc International Airport opened and a casino-resort complex was permitted. Today the town of Duong Dong is a scrum of concrete hotels, seafood restaurants, and souvenir stalls, while the north and east coasts still hold dense jungle and wild beaches.
Best Time to Visit
Full Phu Quoc guide →Best months
December and March: low rainfall (under 50 mm/month), bright sunshine, steady South China Sea breezes. Crowds are moderate—busy but not overwhelming—and accommodation prices sit at medium-season levels.
Peak / festival surge
January and February are the dead of the dry season and Tết (Lunar New Year, roughly late January to mid-February). Vietnamese domestic tourists flood the island, hotel prices double or triple, and airfares spike. Tết's parades, fireworks and temple fairs are the main draw.
Budget shoulder season
April and November offer the best compromise. April is still dry but quieter; November is the start of the dry season, with rain tapering off to brief showers. Room rates drop 30–40% below peak, and you'll have beaches to yourself on weekdays.
Weather & packing
Phu Quoc's climate is tropical monsoon—sticky and hot year-round (average 27°C), but July falls in the wet season, with daily downpours often lasting only 30–60 minutes. Pack a lightweight, packable rain jacket and quick-dry sandals; leave the umbrella, as winds on the island snap them quickly.
Live City Briefing — Phu Quoc
- Construction on the Phu Quoc Expressway connecting Duong Dong to the southern airports is ongoing, causing occasional lane closures and dust on Highway 30 until late 2026.
- The Phu Quoc night market has reopened after a six-month renovation; new vendors include a dedicated seafood grill alley, but prices are up about 15% from 2025.
- From July 2026, new single-use plastic deductions at the island's marine national park entry fee (dong 60,000) reward visitors who bring reusable water bottles and bags.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anka Home, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing away from the main road. These upper floors reduce street-level noise and the rear orientation avoids the worst of the motorbike traffic along the Trần Hưng Đạo strip.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor facing the street — direct motorbike noise from the main road will be loud from early morning until late evening. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft or staircase, as guest traffic echoes in the corridor.
Best views
The best view is from rear-facing upper floors overlooking the small garden or neighbouring low-rise buildings — you’ll catch some green and open sky rather than the busy street. The front-facing rooms just give you a view of parked cars and passing mopeds.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 tend to be quietest, with fewer ground-level disturbances and good distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
The main noise source is the road directly outside: motorbikes, tuk-tuks, and occasional trucks from early morning (around 6am) until late (10pm). The lift motor hums on all floors but is worst on lower levels. No bar or pool noise if the hotel lacks those amenities.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (before 2pm) to have your choice of quieter rear-facing rooms — the hotel often fills up with Vietnamese domestic tourists who don’t mind street noise. 2. If you’re renting a scooter, park it in the small area behind the building rather than on the street — it’s safer and avoids blocking access.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Phu Quoc
💡 Go around 5pm for the best light and fewer crowds. Bring cash — no cards accepted. The grilled squid wrapped in chilli salt is worth trying for 20,000 VND.
💡 Buy a bottle directly from the factory — it costs 30,000 VND (about £1) compared to 80,000 VND in shops. The nose-tickling smell stays on clothes, so wear something you don't mind washing immediately.
💡 Head to the section near Mango Bay Resort (GPS: 10.208, 103.956) — quieter than the central strip. The best show is 30 minutes before official sunset time; check your phone or local tide table.
💡 Visit just before sunset — the light turns the sea gold and the crowds thin out. Dress with shoulders and knees covered. Donation box at the entrance is voluntary.
💡 Hire a motorbike for 150,000 VND/day to reach the trailhead at Rach Vem. Start early — by 10am the heat is brutal. Bring insect repellent and at least 2 litres of water per person.
