Hoi An is a lovely town, and definitely worth a visit. The restaurants are excellent. If you've got any interest in Vietnamese food, I'd really recommend the Red Bridge cookery course, which includes a trip around the market and then a boat trip up to a quiet restaurant in the countryside.

My third time to Hoi An - a timeless dream of a place, just ideal for chilling out after a stressful term at work. There is a huge number of shops offering "art for tourists" and "made to measure clothes for tourists", but there is NO overt, pushy commercialism that you find in say HK. The food: asian with french influence and is superb. Local beer is good (though they haven't mastered the "very chilled on a hot day please" concept just yet). Even close to river: NO mosquitoes, which is always nice in the FE. The restaurant to take your fiance to: no competition, it's got to be The Brothers Cafe down on the river. This place would shame a 6* hotel, for its faultless service, lovely ambience, excellent food from a long menu (often a danger sign), and reasonable drink prices.

Definitely rent a bike ($1/day) so you can bike into town -- that way you're not tied to a shuttle schedule or paying for motorcycle rides every two minutes. Great internet places along the road into town. The Safari (?) restaurant just down the road is great -- owned by a Vietnamese woman and her California husband, and there's also a crab place right on the water that's meant to be lovely, although we didn't go there. On the road to town, the Gado restaurant is good. Buy as much stuff as you can -- specially lanterns, art work, ties, silk, etc. -- you'll love it when you get home and it only seems heavy now! Check out all the calisthentics on the beach at dawn -- it's really adorable.

Do not lose your time going to MY SON Cham site, except if you are mad of history and archeology! Angkor is not so far and a really more interesting natural site for non initiated people! Walking around in Hoi Han is far more pleasant!
I really recommend you to come for the festival taking place in Hoi Han every year in March or April (depend on the year), many people, many lights in the night... Hoi Han city becomes beautiful!
Enjoy!

Hoi An is a very beautiful town on both the river and close to the beach. A great place to get a tailored made suit as 3 pieces costs approximately US$60 (I went to BiBi Silk in town). The cooking classes out of Hai's Cafe were very useful and the Red Bridge Restaurant is located in a beautiful setting and is very reasonably priced.

Red Bridge, Tam Tam, Cargo Club and Des Amis are restaurants we would certainly recommend. For tailored clothing try A Dong on Le Loi street (they were excellent and recommended by hotel).

The very best restaurant in Hoi Ann, is the MANGO ROOMS, (just across the street from the Tam Tam Cafe). Relaxed and lounge atmosphere in the decor and music, tempting menu (asian fusion), wonderful service, and definite value for the money!

Our favourite place to visit in Asia is Hoi An ancient town. A great place to have tailor made clothes & shoes at unbelievable prices. The town is about 10 minutes drive to the resort beach area where our hotel was located.

In Hoi An a bit out of town is a very beautiful restaurant called the Red Bridge, it can be reached by boat or by taxi. They also do a great cooking class in the morning for 12 USD.
