My friend and I stayed at Bliss Hoi An Resort for 4 nights, and it simply wasn’t enough. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the bustling city life of Saigon, Hoi An is the perfect choice, and Bliss is the ideal place to stay. I recommend booking at least 5 nights—or even 7 or more—if you want to truly relax and explore. The resort offers a variety of half-day and full-day trips that are well worth taking.
As an Australian from Sydney, I found Bliss Hoi An to be a fantastic option during Vietnam’s off-season (October-November) when the weather is pleasantly mild—not too hot or humid and similar to the weather back home. Be sure to choose a room with a balcony; spending your evenings enjoying the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves is a true delight.
I did suggest a few improvements for their dining menu and the outdoor dining area’s ambiance which they happily accommodated, and I hope the resort considers these as permanent additions to make future stays even better.
Another highlight is the free shuttle bus to Hoi An (about a 25-minute ride), which makes it easy to enjoy an afternoon and evening in town. While you’re there, I highly recommend dining at Morning Glory Signature.
Much to my surprise I found out that the Resort was only a few years old, so you’ll be able to take advantage of its modern features and facilities unlike the other bigger named (older) resort brands.
I’ll definitely return to Bliss Hoi An, but next time, I’ll make it a longer stay.
