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.

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.

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.

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!

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 shopper's paradise. We ended up succumbing to the tailor's pleas to make us new wardrobes, and are so happy that we did! We also took a nice, easy bike ride out to the beach which is highly recommended.
The one thing to look out for: we went on an hour's boat ride with a woman in a boat on the river. She let us off at the end of a line of fishing boats. We had to walk across several boats to get back to shore. The boat's crews were not happy or friendly. Avoid this! The boat ride is delightful, but insist on being let off at shore!

We love Hoi An, although it has changed in the last two years, as it has received more tourist revenue. We loved The Brothers Restaurant on the river and the market is a constant delight. Mr Danh is an excellent boatman who can take you wherever you want for a negotiable price. He speaks French and English.

Hoi An was fantastic! The restaurants we visited were very good. We took a tour to Hue, pouring with rain, but it was nice. Long journey, 3 hours each way.
We used taxis,boat, motorcycles and we hired a bicycle and it was extremely enjoyable.
