La Siesta Hoi An Resort & Spa

I had never heard of this hotel and really only decided to book it because of the reviews on booking.com and TripAdvisor reviews. I can confirm that these were well-founded reviews — La Siesta is as good, if not even better, than a typical 5 star chain hotel. We stayed at the duplex club wing room, reminiscent of Intercontinental Bali’s duplex rooms, which we all love. The cleanliness standard is marginally lower; the curtains in the room have a bit of a mildew smell, but everything else was amazing. The rooms are spacious and the beds were exceedingly comfortable, superior to the beds at global 5 star hotel chains. But what stood them apart is the service and the food — from the bespoke buffet breakfast (where staff offered to provide you with items that were not part of the menu; the buffet spread for local cuisine is fantastic; kids loved the iced coffee/iced chocolate) to the really reasonably-priced and amazing food at the hotel’s two restaurants (Temple and Red Bean) — we never expected to find such good food at hotels and at such reasonable prices. The food quality is truly stellar, and there is hardly a “hotel premium” price for the food. I hope that that doesn’t change after this review! The spa is possibly the best spa I’ve come across, and I’ve been to many. Their 4 Hands massage is par to none. All the therapists are fantastic — we had a massage everyday. No “cheating” using elbows only, the therapists mainly use their thumbs and hands to give strong pressure massages, so you don’t leave with pain wrongly applied on your bones. A real local gem, I hope that it doesn’t go the way of international global chains for all the reasons mentioned above, which makes them better than global chains. If you want a relaxing, 5 star resort and spa experience that is near ancient town, this will be it.

Excellent Resort, very good rooms, beautiful gardens and several Pools. Staff excellent. The breakfast is a highlight. 15min walk to the towncenter. Absolute recommandation

What an incredible resort. I was blown away by the hospitality of the staff, the resort amenities, and food options. They offer free bikes to ride into the town as well as some free shuttles into Hoi An. I was very impressed by the size of the room and the cleanliness of the overall facility. I will definitely return!

The location was great - very near downtown but also nice that it was a little away from the hustle. We loved the pools and the easy shuttle to the beach club

Building and rooms were exceptional.
