Guest score

Renaissance beachfront resort on Cua Dai Beach near Hoi An's Ancient Town, with the area's largest infinity pool and private-pool villas facing the Cham Islands.

Last updated August 6, 2026

Renaissance Danang Hoi An Resort & Spa is a 218-key beachfront resort on Cua Dai Beach, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Hoi An's UNESCO-listed Ancient Town. Marriott rebranded the former Vinpearl Resort & Spa Hoi An as a Renaissance in November 2023, making it the brand's first beachfront resort in Vietnam. The Mediterranean-styled property pairs 193 rooms and suites with 25 private-pool villas of three to five bedrooms, anchored by what the resort bills as Hoi An's largest infinity pool facing the Cham Islands. Independent reviewers consistently single out warm, attentive service and a genuinely expansive breakfast at the all-day Food Studio, whose live Vietnamese noodle stations and tropical-fruit spread draw particular praise. Families favour the spacious villas, kids' club and calm, uncrowded pool. Watch-outs recur: the Cua Dai setting is secluded, with little dining or shopping within walking distance, so a shuttle, bike or taxi is needed to reach town. Some guests find the beige, design-led interiors generic for the destination and note the beach itself is modest after years of erosion works. Value is the most divisive point, with rates running above nearby competitors and a few reviewers describing the experience as pleasant but unmemorable, plus occasional understaffing at breakfast and lingering post-rebrand inconsistencies. Elite recognition and direct-booking Wi-Fi are honoured, though independent detail on a dedicated lounge is limited. Overall it reads as a comfortable, service-led family and couples resort best suited to travellers prioritising pool-and-beach downtime over walkable nightlife.

Consistently praised

  • 218 keys: 193 rooms and suites plus 25 private-pool villas of three to five bedrooms
  • TripAdvisor rating 4.0, ranked #110 of 462 Hoi An hotels from ~1,375 reviews

Worth knowing before you book

  • Isolated Cua Dai setting means planning for the shuttle, bikes or taxis to reach Hoi An and limited nearby dining
  • Relatively recent rebrand; several reviews note service consistency still stabilising and rates on the high side

Frequently asked questions

How far is the resort from Hoi An Ancient Town?

The resort sits on Cua Dai Beach about 5 km from Hoi An's UNESCO-listed Ancient Town, roughly a 15-to-20-minute drive. A complimentary scheduled shuttle and free bicycles are provided, and taxis or ride-hailing are readily available for trips into town for dining and shopping.

Is there a beach, and what is the pool like?

Yes, the resort fronts Cua Dai Beach, though the sand strip is modest after years of coastal erosion works. The headline feature is a large seafront infinity pool, promoted as the biggest in Hoi An, facing the Cham Islands, plus private plunge pools in the villas.

How do I get around from the resort?

The resort runs a complimentary scheduled shuttle to Hoi An Ancient Town several times daily and offers free bicycles. There is little within walking distance beyond a mini-mart across the road, so most guests use the shuttle, bikes, taxis or ride-hailing apps to explore.
