The Property — Xuan Anh
The Xuan Anh feels like a functional pit-stop rather than a destination. A small lobby with tiled floors and a reception desk leads to basic rooms with air-con, a TV and a private bathroom. There's a modest outdoor pool and a simple restaurant serving Vietnamese staples. It suits budget travellers who need a clean bed near Duong Dong market and the night market, not those after beachfront luxury.
Chronicles of Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc's main town, Duong Dong, grew around a fishing port and was a quiet backwater until the 1990s. The island's landscape shifted dramatically when a fish sauce and pepper trade economy gave way to resort development after a 2004 master plan for tourism. Vietnamese diaspora and foreign investors built hotels, roads and a new airport by 2012. Today Phu Quoc is a fast-growing city of contrasts: pearl farms and fish sauce factories sit alongside international hotel chains and a night market that draws tourists from Asia and Europe.
Best Time to Visit
Full Phu Quoc guide →Best months
December to March: dry season with low humidity, calm seas and clear skies, plus manageable crowd levels outside Tet holiday week.
Peak / festival surge
July to August: domestic Vietnamese summer holidays and European school breaks push hotel occupancy above 85%. Prices at the Xuan Anh can double from shoulder rates. No major festival drives this, just school schedules.
Budget shoulder season
April to June and September to November: room rates drop 30–40%, fewer tourists, and while some rain falls, you still get plenty of sun between showers.
Weather & packing
Phu Quoc has a tropical monsoon climate with a pronounced wet season from May to October; heavy downpours often last only an hour then clear. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and quick-dry sandals, not leather shoes.
Live City Briefing — Phu Quoc
- The new Phu Quoc International Terminal opened in 2023, with direct flights from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok; check if your flight arrives there, not the old domestic terminal.
- Construction on the Phu Quoc-Cambodia submarine cable project has closed parts of Tran Hung Dao Street near Duong Dong market; use Nguyen Trung Truc as an alternative route.
- From July 2026, a new plastic-waste ban takes effect on the island; bring a reusable water bottle as single-use plastic bottles will not be sold in most shops.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Xuan Anh, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd floor or higher, facing away from the main road (inland side). These rooms avoid ground-level street noise and get more natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms above reception or near the lift shaft on floors 1–2, as these pick up lobby footfall, check-in chatter, and lift door clatter. Also avoid rooms over the street-side facade if the address is on a busy Phu Quoc road.
Best views
Inland/garden view from upper floors on the property's non-street side. If the hotel faces open land or a quieter backstreet, that's the vista to request. No sea view unless confirmed by location data.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 are your quietest bet: high enough to escape street noise and foot traffic, but not so high that they're near any rooftop equipment or bar (common in 3-star hotels).
🔊 Noise notes
Phu Quoc's roads can carry scooter honks and bar music, especially in the evening. The property's single frontage means street-facing rooms on lower floors will pick up this noise. Also likely scooter parking right outside the entrance adds daytime chatter.
Insider tips
Check in early (before 2 PM) to secure a top-floor inland room — these are the first to go. If the hotel has a side gate, park your scooter there rather than out front to avoid being blocked in by other guests' bikes.
- 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

Cards accepted at hotels, larger restaurants, and supermarkets in town; smaller stalls and street vendors are cash-only, and contactless is rare.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated; round up taxi fares or leave 5-10% at restaurants if service is good, and a small tip for hotel staff is fine.

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.
