Boutique Hoi An , Hoi An

A large swimming pool surrounded by tropical gardens forms the centrepiece of this hotel which sits directly on the renowned Cua Dai beach, 10 minutes’ drive from the centre of Hoi An. The 82 rooms and villas are modern and stylish, with private balconies or terraces and sea views. The main hotel building houses the Superior Rooms, while the Deluxe Rooms are arranged throughout the gardens and the Villas are beachfront. The 2 bedroom villa is ideal for families requiring interconnecting rooms.

There are various dining options: Le Café, for buffet-style breakfast and a-la-carte dishes for lunch and dinner – here meals can be enjoyed in air-conditioned comfort or al fresco on the garden terrace which is attractively lit by lanterns in the evening.  Snacks and meals are available throughout the day in Le Salon or at the smaller and more informal Pool Bar. The menus at Boutique Hoi An include Vietnamese and Western dishes and are reasonably priced for a hotel; so drinks or lunch by the pool won’t break the bank, and families will appreciate the fact that children eat free from the kid's menu in either restaurant when dining with an adult. Private dining on the beach or in-villa can also be arranged.

You won’t find evening musical entertainment or a kids club at this hotel and you are more likely to come across a fisherman mending his nets in a coracle on the beach than a jet ski but if you are looking for somewhere on the beach that combines good standard accommodation with a low key and laid back atmosphere then Boutique Hoi An may just fit the bill.
