RiverTown Hoi An Resort and Spa is a riverfront resort that gives you a resort stay close to the old town, about 0.6 miles from the Ancient Town. Guests rate it around 9.6 out of 10 from about a thousand reviews. The facilities are generous for the price class: a pool and a children's pool, a kids' club and babysitting, yoga, a spa, a complimentary buffet breakfast, beach access arrangements and boat service on the river. It suits families especially, because the combination of space, activities and a short trip to the old quarter is rare in Hoi An.
Location and getting around
The riverfront setting is the draw, and the resort uses it with a boat service that is part of the experience. The old town is a short ride or a longer walk, depending on your pace and the weather, and the hotel can help with bikes and taxis. The beach at An Bang is a short ride away, and the hotel lists beach access arrangements.
The facilities
A pool, a children's pool and a kids' club mean families are well looked after, while the spa and yoga give adults something to do between meals. Rooms and villas vary, so check room types and views, and ask whether a river-facing room is available. The buffet breakfast is complimentary and large. It is a good choice for a longer stay, with enough on site to rest for a day.
If you are travelling with children, think about how you will split your days. A morning in the old quarter, lunch back at the resort and an afternoon in the pools is a rhythm that works well, and the boat service can double as an outing in its own right. Ask about the timetable for the boat and the kids' club, since schedules can change with the season, and check which room types have river views before you choose.
Who it suits and what to know: families, couples who want a resort feel, and anyone who values space over a central address. If you want to walk straight out into the old lanes, a centre hotel will be easier. Rates rise in the dry months, and the resort is popular with families during school holidays, so book early.
This guide was written on 7 November 2026, in central Vietnam's wet season, when heavy rain and river flooding can affect the old town and the lanes around many hotels, so ask the hotel about road access and airport transfers, and check the cancellation terms before you pay.
