Due to the weather forecast for our time of travel we decided to stay here rather than in one of the beach side hotels, expecting to see a lot of rain during our stay. However the weather was amazing and we saw no rain and had beautiful, hot sunny days - but we were still glad we stayed here. The location is perfect for easy access into the old town of Hoi An - an easy 10 minute walk. We did this walk during the day and felt very safe and were told it was safe even in the late evenings, which we did but were definitely more cautious and aware walking back in the dark. We planned to sit by the pool and relax but there was so much to do in our 3 days that we only did this once one late afternoon. The pool area was quiet and relaxing, however the beds were rather tired looking and not luxurious by any stretch of the imagination. The breakfast buffet was much the same - rather basic and not a patch on the buffets at the 5* city hotels we visited on our trip through Vietnam. The hotel bedroom was spotlessly clean and beautifully cool but again rather dated. To sum up, this is not a luxurious hotel but was clean with very friendly staff and in an excellent location.…
Just when I thought Hoi An couldn’t get any more spectacular, we checked into the Anantara Hoi An Resort. After a short flight from Saigon to Da Nang, and a comfortable 45 minute transfer via the resort, we checked-in to the wonderful vistas, lush gardens and waterfront views that is Anantara Hoi An! We couldn’t help but feel the excitement seep in as the wonderful staff showed us to our room! Our room was absolutely stunning! From the crisp clean linens, to the luxurious bathtub, followed by touches of colourful elegance in the lounge area and the beautiful photography by local artist Réhahn, everything was perfect. Our room was a delightful treat! With a ‘welcome’ written in petals on our beds and a small cheese board left for us to enjoy, we soaked in the riverfront views and relaxed from our balcony. Each morning our cup of coffee came with a splash of the scenic Hoi An river below! Talk about breakfast with a view. Their buffet of freshly baked French pastries, tropical fruits, live cooking stations, traditional Vietnamese dishes and endless cups of coffee always set us up for the day ahead! In the evenings we’d dine at Anantara Hoi An’s enchanting Hoi An Riverside Restaurant or catch a couple of drinks at Art Space. Luckily for us Hoi An Riverside Restaurant was hosting their monthly ‘Full Moon Buffet’ while we were there. This lavish buffet experience, with their live food stalls, seafood barbeque stations and selection of local delicacies transported our taste buds to a culinary cosmos of Vietnamese cuisine. Their ‘Full Moon Buffet’ is definitely something not to miss! The pool seemed to call our names in the late afternoons when the sun was blazing and a refreshing drink was the only thing on our mind. It was so nice to have such a stunning pool at the resort, especially after a long day exploring in Hoi An! During our stay, we also jumped aboard Anantara’s sunset cruise. As we headed down the river in their traditional long tail boat, we were offered a tasty platter of varying appetizers, tropical fruits and a choice of wine, beer and other beverages! As we sipped our glasses of sav blanc, we sat back, relaxed and soaked in the sights of a different side of Hoi An! It was magical! Our three days in Hoi An came and went so fast, but we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to enjoy this ancient town than in the company of Anantara Hoi An and their incredible staff. With the warmest welcome from Kate and Ms. Hai, to the incredible Mr. Tai and Mr. Ngoc who made our sunset cruise so magical, everyone at Anantara Hoi An was just so incredibly friendly and accommodating. Our time here was truly unforgettable and we are so appreciative of everyone at Anantara Hoi An. I will definitely be returning as soon as I return to Vietnam!…
The location is excellent: on the river, within 5 minutes walking from the old city market and the old quarters. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff very attentive. A great place to stay if you want to visit Hoi Anh!
This hotel needs refurbishment. Pest control should have been better. Though it is near to the main town of Hoi An, but you need to pass through not so lit street. During nighttime it does not feel safe as no one on the main entrance is guarding the property and it gives direct access to your rooms.
Had a great experience at the Anantara. Location is very good - close to the main old town area, but just far enough away to be quiet. Nice location on the river. Most notable characteristic was the very well-trained and pleasant staff. A bit pricey for sure, but a great experience.
Mark and I had a fantastic time at Anantara! What made the hotel and our truly amazing stay is the staff it is as simple as that. Keep doing what you are doing guys. Thank you so much and we will see you all soon. Lisa & Mark
The town of Hoi An is a welcome change from the bustle of Vietnam's cities and Anantara is a nice place to enjoy it, Overlooking the river as I type this at my breakfast table I'm a long way from the noise and turmoil in the outside world. The check-in procedure can be a little tedious (granted I was tired and wanted to get to sleep) and long-winded. Room facilities are excellent with all you'd expect from a hotel of this calibre (except, strangely, liquid milk for in-room coffee). Staff are friendly and helpful. There's a karaoke bar nearby which played at high volume while I tried to sleep and that's the only negative. It's not the hotel's fault. I'd come back here.
Beautiful property, ideally located just blocks away from all attractions in the old town. The service is attentive and excellent. They have communicating rooms for families and a kids club as well. The second time was just as good as the first.
Team members were always on point. Knew who we were on a first named basis. Service was always outstanding. The rooms were very clean and the property was well kept and in good repair. The location of the property was close by restaurants, shops, and local markets. We enjoyed dining at the restaurant for breakfasts, and then local restaurants during the evenings.
We spent four delightful nights at Anantara in Hoi An. Our room was beautiful and well appointed, the breakfast bar was delicious, and the service was attentive and compassionate. We needed to take our daughter to the doctor urgently and we were ESPECIALLY appreciative of Mr. Phong who phoned the doctor to secure an appointment for us, arranged for a driver to take us to the clinic, and even followed up with the doctor to assist us with closing out payment. Mr. Phong truly went above and beyond and our daughter is now healthy and ready to enjoy the remaining five days of our trip. Thank you, Anantara, for a five-star experience from start to finish! We were beyond impressed by your fine team!
