Hoi An is a gorgous town on the central coast of Vietnam. A wonderful place to stop of for a few days or for a week-like we did. We had a relaxing stay at the Victoria Beach Resort and did nothing during the day but lay by the pool or on the beach. At night time we caught the shuttle into town where we strolled the streets, did some shopping, had some clothes made and ate some fantastic food (very cheap). Two restaurants that we particularly liked were the Mermaid restaurant (fried wantons-yum) and Faifoo - both on the same street. While we had a relaxing time here, there is a lot you can do during the day if you chose to-trips to My Son, the DMZ etc. We chose not to as we did a lot of touring around in other areas and just wanted to relax. We will return to Hoi An and stay at the Victoria Beach Resort again, we enjoyed it that much.

Plenty of good restaurants here, We liked the 'Banana Leaf' best, but plenty of others good too, eg Hai's Scout Cafe where did an excellent cooking course. You should also visit the My Son archaelogical site - fascinating.

Shopping is fantastic, everything from shoes, clothes to jewellery can be made to your needs. Only 20kms from Marble Mountain and China Beach - it was my favourite place in Vietnam. All restaurants are great with fresh seafood!

Hoi An is the perfect town for travelers looking for good food and shopping. We took the tour to My Son, which is about an hour by car. The Tam Tam Cafe in the city center is highly recommended - both Vietnamese and western food at reasonable prices.

Hoian is very interesting for all kind of travellers. It's easy to get around by foot or by cyclo/motorbike. The beach is clean and very big with lots of restaurants with good food.

Vietnam is a fantastic country. I am always touched when thinking about the friendliness and hospitality of the Vietnamese people. We travelled around using hired minivans as we were a family group of 6 adults and 2 young children. The prices were reasonable and it allowed greater flexibility. Spending a little extra to take internal flights saved on time and stress when travelling with small children. We would often ask at the hotels we were staying for recommendations to local restaurants and were always pleased with the meals - even for the vegetarians amongst us.
A great experience was our time in Hue where we took some time to visit Buddhist monasteries and see the ancient sights. The buffet dinner for ten US dollars at the Morin was outstanding with service, quality of food and traditional music and entertainment in a magical setting lit by hundreds of candles and lights. I enjoyed my time in Vietnam and would love to return and explore and experience more of this fascinating country.

Stayed at Le Domaine de Tam Hai - Hoi An, Vietnam.

Tam Hai is quiet and not demanding of the sightseeing that seems to dominate other tourists areas - no pagodas, palaces, waterfalls, or other tourists attractions that you seem to shuttle from one to the next. We rode bikes into the market area and walked around a little, otherwise our main goal was to relax on the beach which we had all to ourselves and enjoy the comfort and quiet of our villa. Here you do not feel guilty just sitting and doing nothing, rather thats what this place is made for.

Hoi An was a charming town that we really enjoyed spending time in. I recommend taking a day tour to Cham Island with Lodovico - he's an Italian expat who's lived in the area for several years and gave us an amazing day of sight-seeing, snorkeling, food and stories. His tour was $25 vs. $12 with other agencies, but we were very glad that we spent time with him rather than another tour group. You can find his tour agency in town facing the river near the dock heading towards the Japanese Covered Bridge.

If you're going to My Son, book your tour when you get to Hoi An. I booked with An Phu Travel for a half day tour at $1.50 (not including entrance fees) and were on the same bus with others who paid five times that.

Hoi An is a very pretty & interesting town, particularly the world heritage area.
Brothers Cafe on the river is a brilliant dining experience. Marble Mountain just up the road is well worth visiting.
