Perfect ocean front Hoi An Hotel
This hotel has been a go-to spot for us in Hoi An since 2007. Although the level of tourism is off, the management and staff continue to provide excellent service and support to the visitors. We look forward to seeing this facility back to the capacity levels of pre-covid years. This facility is a traditional oriental design and service delivery on the ocean with easy access to the old town in Hoi An. A serene retreat.

A welcoming hotel in a nice location away from the crowds and right by the sea. The rooms are lovely, we were given an upgrade to a deluxe garden view room which was spacious and comfortable and with a great sea view. There is an excellent selection at breakfast and the pool is nice, plenty of room to swim. But the best part of this hotel is the team that work there. Everyone gives their all to make sure that you have the best stay. It was my birthday on the stay and the breakfast team sang to me and gave me cake. Each evening the housekeeping team provide a wonderful legend and chocolates for your pillow. I loved the stories and have kept them all! Nothing is too much trouble for any of them, from the pool team to the reception. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

I got food poisoning from breakfast and there were Geckos in my room. As a result, I decided to move to a different hotel for the last night. When I notified the hotel they were unconcerned and refused my request for a refund for the final night even though I didn’t stay there and they got me sick.

Best hotel in/near Hoi An
We booked a room with an ocean view. The room was very spacious. It had a wonderful outdoor garden shower. The waves from the ocean nearly crash up on to your doorstep. There's also a patio with chairs outside your room to enjoy a drink with your partner. The service was wonderful, and they have a currency exchange at the hotel.

Lovely hotel right on the beach, the staff couldn't be more helpful. The rooms are great. The pool area doesn't look that big in photos but there are lots of sunbeds and there is also a private beach. There's also a free shuttle bus to the old town which is great to see.
