Canary Bungalow

A family run lodging with staff, Binh, providing good services and recommendations, making arrangements for motor bike rentals and transfer to airport. He communicates well in English, which is a big plus in Phu Quoc. A very friendly young man. Location is near the airport and night market, with easy access to a number of restaurants and bars. My two-night stay in standard quadruple room provided a very pleasant experience and I will definitely return in my next visit to Phu Quoc.

Really good Vietnamese food and with vegan options! I can highly recommend this place for any meal of the day. I haven’t stayed in one of the bungalows but the staff here is really nice and helpful. If you are allergic to anything they will keep that in mind and make you the food that you can eat :)

Canary Bunglow is a charming little family-run set of units + restaurant down an alley between the main road towards Dương Đông and Long Beach, Phú Quốc. A highlight here is no doubt the friendly staff/owners who run the joint. Warm smiles, lots of personal care, and effective customer service. A few examples: I booked a 3 person room but had 4 people (oops - my bad) however they threw in an extra breakfast each day for my son for free, and another, my kids got free bookmark souvenirs on departure. Very sweet. I’m happy to support these kinds of places (over the mega corporation chain resorts) as it’s clear a lot of love goes into it. It really is a “family atmosphere” at this place. And they all work so well together; sit back and marvel at the well-oiled machine at work during a busy dinner shift. The rooms themselves are simple - just a room with beds and a bathroom. Nothing flashy there but they do the job. A green garden corridor runs between the centre of the units, lush with pot plants and colourful lights at night. One minor gripe is that the left hand rooms are adjacent to an alley which can get a little noisy at night with loud voices, dog barking, and scooter honking. Your standard Vietnam nightly orchestra really though. And speaking of dogs, the owners have a couple of playful pups which cavort around the units and restaurant all day - something to be aware of if you’ve got kids unused to curious dogs who like to get up close and personal. It’s a short 100m walk to the beach or up to the main road in the opposite direction, so there is plenty to do, see, and eat around the area. Not that you need to go far for good food - their restaurant has some tasty, unique options available (check out the coconut ice cream). The included breakfast isn't a buffet though and the menu and portions are spartan, so my advice would be to get a cheaper non-breakfast-included room option and check out other options around the area for breakfast. Overall - a comfortable, friendly stay for my family and I which certainly ticked a lot of boxes.
