ENSO Retreat Hoi An

Report Abuse

Description

ENSO sits in that sweet spot between the Ancient Town and An Bang Beach – close enough to both that you’re not sacrificing anything, but far enough from the tourist noise that you can actually sleep. Three pools, lush gardens, and rooms that are clean without being sterile. The free shuttle runs multiple times daily, which matters more than it sounds when the midday heat makes walking feel like a personal attack.

The staff here are the real reason people come back for a second stay. Not in the scripted-hospitality way – reviewers keep naming specific staff members, which tells you something real is happening. Breakfast gets consistent praise across multiple languages, which is a reliable signal it’s not just resort-buffet mediocrity.

This place suits anyone who wants a quiet base rather than a party hotel. It rewards guests who treat the shuttle schedule as their friend and spend their days out exploring, then return to pool time and calm evenings.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Skip the basket boat tour the hotel recommends and book one independently - reviewers flag the hotel-arranged version as overpriced with poor service, and you'll find better operators in town for half the hassle.
Pros
- **Staff** - Multiple reviewers in multiple languages specifically call out how attentive and kind the team is, with guests naming individual staff members
- **Three pools** - Consistently praised across reviews as clean, well-maintained, and relaxing
- **Free shuttle service** - Runs regularly to both the Ancient Town and the beach, making the location work in your favor
- **Breakfast** - Described as 'magic' with 'everything' on offer - the kind of breakfast that changes your morning plans
Cons
- **Limited storage in rooms** - At least one reviewer on an extended stay noted the lack of a wardrobe, which becomes annoying fast if you're unpacking properly
- **Restaurant pricing** - On-site food and drink prices draw complaints; worth heading into town for meals rather than defaulting to the resort menu
Best For
Couples, Families, Splurge
