Excellent Breakfast, Great Location A fantastic hotel, beautifully set along the river and away from the hustle and bustle of Hoi An itself, however with shuttle bus, free bicycle loan and even walking distance of the town getting there is not an issue. We moved to this hotel having originally booked into the Green Field Hotel, which was so bad and dirty that we checked out within 18 hours of checking in! The hotel is amazing, with spacious and well equipped rooms. The location is perfect to watch the lights float along the river - definitely recommended.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Bicycles are available free from the hotel with no time restrictions; borrow one and explore Hoi An for yourself, if you are brave enough to face the Vietnamese traffic system!

Location to the beach
Outdoor swimming pool
Nice breakfast
Large rooms Location to Hoi An Centre The hotel is in walking distance to the beautiful nice Cua Dai beach. At the beach, look for the River Beach sign and collect your free towels and sun bed located on the sandy beach.
Furthermore the hotel has quite large rooms with balconies, many facing the river’s mouth. The beds are soft and large. There is an outdoor swimming pool and bar present. The staff speaks good English. If you want to go to Hoi An centre, there is a minibus shuttle going from the hotel and back for free. Taxi is also an option, but be sure that they use the meter installed....
You can also bicycle to Hoi An Centre, we did not have time to do that, but they are rented for free at the hotel.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Old Town Hoi An!!

Great staff
Good location it was nice to be out of the city area.
Nice Pool
Very nice family room
Great Buffet Breakfast Very large hotel and can be noisy if lots of people in hotel
We were a little bit disappointed in the beach area and so spent most of our time swimming in the pool. After our welcoming drink and introduction by the very friendly staff, we were pleasantly surprised by the view from our balcony of the river and surrounding area. The pool area was very inviting and welcome in the hot conditions we arrived in. The buffet breakfast overlooking the pool and river was a great setting to eat in.
Restaurant Tip : Great little restaurants and shops across the road to eat and shop at. Nice to sit at and watch the locals at work and play.

Handy location to both the beach and eating places
Staff were always willing to help ie one day the shuttle to Hoi An was very busy and did not arrive to take us to town but the staff readily organised a Taxi at no cost to us Hallways not being carpeted noise tended to carry and I am sure that some people dont know to turn the door knob when closing doors Hoi An River Beach Resort is in a handy location to both the beach and eating places on the main street - the rooms are large and well serviced the breakfast was not wonderful but in saying that it was ample - we were met at the airport by the hotel shuttle bus and the driver pointed out various interesting points ie China Beach, Marble Mountain etc during the journey to the hotel. My wife and I will certainly return to Hoi An and the River Beach next year
Shopping Tip : Try the Fresh Beer in Hoi An $A 0.33c [VND 4000] per glass cold and draught not bottled - Restaurant Trihn across the road from hotel - turn left coming out of hotel walk approx 150 metres and you will find a small travel agengy on the right safe driver/good guide we went to Hue for the day

Well priced for location and quality
Close to a lovely beach, with own private sitting area and bar service
Shuttle bus to Hoi An. small pool area gets a bit crowded
We had a lovely time at this well priced hotel, well located just out of Hoi An, overlooking a tranquil river and just a hop away from the beach, with its own private area including bar and restaurant. But still surrounded with enough shops to have a little fun.
The only down side was we were there when the Vietnamese were on holidays and they like to get up VERY EARLY and are not very quite. So no sleep-ins.
Travel tip : We love Vietnam, but avoid the local holiday season as it is very hot and takes some of the fun out of sightseeing and shopping. Also Vietnamese people love to holiday at the beach, but they get up VERY early and can be noisey around the hotel.

Good location, close to the beach. Great shuttle bus service Food in restaurant was terrible!
Furnishings/ sofas in room were very dirty and stained
Very small pool for such a large hotel The location was great, close to beach and short bus ride into Hoi An- great shuttle service.
Food in restaurant was extremely slow and was terrible. Eat in Hoi An!!! Pool was very small, room furnishings were really dirty.
Reception and restaurant staff always seemed a little confused! Concierge staff were great though.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Snorkelling tour to Cham Island- dont bother, only had 30 mins actual snorkelling and the reef they take you to is being destroyed on a daily basis by the boats dropping anchor on it and uneducated daytrippers standing all over it. Very sad!

* Private Beach
* Large size room
* Friendly staff
* Free Internet
* Free shuttle bus into town * Little run down
* Pool great but small for size of resort
* Walk to private beach
* Air coniditoning too strong and pointed directly on bed The Beach Resort is right next beach but a short distance walk to its private beach. Hotel provides free bicycles and shuttles buses into town. Room was large in size but the resort in general needs some work - when we left (May 09) they were doing some refurbishment so maybe its changed. Service was great, expect to pay 250,000 Dong for trip from Denang airport.
Eat at the local restaurants accross the road, great value for money and great food, hire a motorbike from accross the road if bicycle too much ( as its 7 km into town) or u dont want to be restricted by shuttle bus times ( every 3 hours).
Room airconditioning is directly on bed and was too cold, had to keep turning on and off through out the night, it was too strong
Shopping Tip : Go to Dong Duong ( 57 Le Loi St ) for clothes... we are very fussy and skeptical when it comes to clothing but they were so friendly esp Minh and at a good price. Their advice was great regarding materials to use and their work is great. Take pictures with you, i had complicated items that turned out perfectly

The staff could not have been better, from check in everyone did their best to make sure you had everything you needed. We had a blocked shower & it was repaired in minutes, good size rooms that were clean & tidy, it just seemed a bit run down. The hotel were working on the garden pool, taking away some pathway & laying grass in its place, but the tiles around the pool were not the best, many needing repair, not that bad that we did not use the pool... just a bit run down.
The hotel had bikes that you could use with out charge, but the seats were so low we could not ride them without laughing & making all the locals laugh at us.....but we did!
Free bus ride to the town at 3,6 & 9pm taxi back cost 3 US$.
The beach area is a short walk away, the roads & pavements are scruffy, when you get to the beach the bar area is basicly closed, they provide plenty of clean towels, beds with cusions & you can buy drinks & food, but you would be better going to the MAN beach next door for food & useing the toilet!
All in all...would I stay there again? I dont think so, there are better for a little more.
Hotel Feature Tip : If you stay...get the hotel to pick you up, it costs the same as a taxi.. but better.

Just across the street from the beach,
has all the facilities you need included in the rate: breakfast, free internet, bicycle, shuttle to town, beachfront area.
Room was huge for the price we paid.
Room had already been cleaned and towels refreshed each time we returned from briefly leaving the hotel.
Very hospitable and attentive staff. Room we got was overlooking the street, so we hear the noise out front.
Very few channels on tv, but then again you don't really stay in your room very long. We wanted a hotel that was nearer to the beach than the town as we knew we were going to spend a lot more time lounging and swimming than sightseeing and shopping. This hotel was a perfect choice! We felt that we got a lot more than we had paid for in terms of the amenities and service. We didn't need to pay anything over the rate we paid for the rooms throughout our stay.
The meals offered in the hotel restaurant and the drinks offered on the beach were on the expensive side. But this shouldn't prevent you from choosing this hotel because you have a lot of other choices right around the area.
In all, we'll definitely choose to stay in this hotel again if we ever go back to visit Hoi An.

Big room
Interesting oriental decorations
Close to beach and along the river Not good wifi connection
Far from Hoi An town This is a nice hotel for vacation. A couple minutes walk to the beach and along the river bank. Very nice garden with small swimming pool. The atmosphere is very relax at the pool side and along the river. Very close to nature and the local way of living. The hotel provide a van to/from Hoi An every hour so it is very convenient to spend you time.

Nice and peaceful location. Clean rooms. Very good and plentiful breakfast. Excellent service and staff for the most parts speaks good english. Good service with the car/bus rental and the free use of bicycles.
The pool area should be renovated, for example some of the tiles were broken and loose.
Hotel restaurant a little bit overpriced which was explained by the hotel manager on a board in the reception area.. We ate one meal in the hotel restaurant and all the others on the small restaurants on the same street as the hotel. Enjoyed the others better with five times smaller bills =) The food in the hotel restaurant wasn't bad just average.
We also liked the surrounding area of the hotel because the beach was quite peaceful and not all that growded. The hotel has it's own private area on the beach with free sunbeds etc. for the hotel guests.
The ladies selling small souvenirs and other stuff on the other areas on the beach can be bit annoying.
Shopping Tip : Taylor shop (Bao Ni) near the hotel was very good! It's on the other side of the road on the way to the beach about 100 m from the hotel.. We were very pleased with all the things made and would absolutely recommend them.
We also liked the restaurant that is on the right side before the bridge when going towards Hoi An few hundred meters from the hotel. Reasonable prices GOOD food.

You can walk out the door into the shopping street.
The Hotel has a spacious feel about it nice restaurant and pool area. It is a walk across the road and down a bit to the Hotel's private Beach area. We enjoyed our stay at at the River - Beach Resort. After coming from Saigon and Ha Noi it was a welcomed quieter, calmer place. The Hotel offers a free shuttle service every 3 hours into the old Town Hoi An. The last bus coming back at 9.15pm. The room was clean and spacious would recommend a ground floor room near the pool so it is not too much of a walk to reception, the breakfast area ant the pool. It is in an ideal location where you can walk out on to the main shopping street. Here you can purchase many things at good prices - they are sometimes prepared to negotiate more than in the cities. The beach has not been welcoming to us both times I have stayed at Cu Dai beach so I have yet to experience it.
Shopping Tip : Souvenir Shop outside the Hotel to the right LE HOA Very honest and good prices. T shirts scarfs shorts etc. A pleasure to shop there.
YALY tailors in Hoi An where the free shuttle bus stops in town were great they copied a dress perfectly in 24 hours for me and the quality and fit was excellent. They are a little more expensive than the other tailors in town but you will be guaranteed of a quality job with very efficient professional staff. The Cargo Bar is a top quality restaurant overlooking the River - a littl more expensive than some in Hoi An but still inexpensive compared to Australia. The quality cannot be faulted it is in my opinion 5 star!

Located on the fringe of Hoi An. The gymnasium needs to be upgraded. This hotel is located on the fringe of Hoi An away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, but still in an area that has restaurants and shops on its doorstep as well as a two minute walk on to the beach. There is a free mini bus service that the hotel provides to take you in and out of the Hoi An city center. All of the staff are very friendly and will guide you through the pros and cons of Vietnam. The hotel has large clean rooms with the majority having balconies. All facilities are provided although the gymnasium and business center computers need to be upgraded. In reality these items are minor and should not be required on a holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over five days and plan to return on a future trip.
Restaurant Tip : For a full Vietnam experience dine in the local restaurants. Hire a scooter for the day to see the local sights, alternatively the hotel will provide you with free bicycles.

The hotel had a friendly staff and was located between a river and the beach The hotel room was somewhat tired looking and the sink drain was broken Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Hoi An is very interesting and the hotel has a shuttle to and from town.
