We stayed at the Victoria Beach Resort during Chinese New Year 2011. Our experience at the hotel was dampened by poor weather and overshadowed by the charming town of Hoi An, but overall it was a pleasant stay in a good location.
We were traveling with our then 9-month-old daughter, so we originally booked an oceanview suite with a sitting area – thinking that would allow her space for naps and early bedtimes without cramping our style. Turns out the sitting area is actually between the bed/main room and the bathroom, defeating the purpose. So after one night we moved to two connecting rooms. All of the rooms were clean, modern and well-appointed.
Rainy season hung on longer than expected, so we didn’t spend much time at the resort’s beach or pool, but both were very nice. We enjoyed our walks on the beach (even if we were all bundled up.)
The hotel is fairly kid-friendly, though I imagine older children might run out of things to do (especially if it’s colder). The kids room is small and set up more for younger ones.
The hotel is located on a fairly quite stretch of beach, but there are a few seafood shacks within walking distance that are very good. Food at resort is solid, if overpriced.
The best part about the Victoria was its regular shuttle service in and out of Hoi An town. We made the five minute ride several times a day. The town itself is fabulous – delicious food, beautiful wares, great markets. We’d go back in a heartbeat. (If you have toddlers, keep in mind it is not stroller friendly. Our daughter was in the Ergo carrier the entire time!)
If you can catch good weather, Victoria would be a lovely home base to explore Hoi An.
