Emerald Hoi An Riverside Resort officially began operations in December 2012. Set in the tranquil district of An Hoi, Emerald Hoi An Riverside Resort is located on the banks of the romantic Thu Bon River and within 5-minute walking distance to the ancient town of Hoi An. The resort offers 52 well-appointed rooms with free wireless Internet access.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

We had a wonderful six night stay here, which was the perfect and relaxing end to our Vietnam holiday. The facilities are great, the room was well appointed, the pool and garden bar (especially Happy Hour!) was awesome, and the buffet breakfast a hit! Most exceptional though were the staff, from reception to housekeeping and bar and restaurant staff. Shout outs to Hung and Quang for friendly and attentive service!
Another incredible stay — truly feels like our Hoi An home!
This was our second stay at Emerald Hoi An Riverside Resort, after first visiting last year, and somehow this visit was even more special.
One of the loveliest parts of returning was seeing so many of the same staff again — and even more amazingly, having them remember us! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed back with such genuine warmth and kindness. It honestly felt like coming home.
Every single day, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy and looked after. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They were always smiling, always happy to help, and so incredibly kind to our family. Travelling with a young child isn't always easy, but the way the staff treated us and our daughter made our stay so relaxed and enjoyable.
The resort itself is beautiful, peaceful and in such a fantastic location. It's close enough to easily walk into Hoi An Old Town, while still being tucked away enough to escape the busyness and relax by the river.
But what truly makes Emerald special is the people. Beautiful hotels are easy to find, but finding somewhere that makes you feel genuinely welcomed, remembered and cared for is something completely different.
After two wonderful stays, Emerald Hoi An Riverside Resort has become such a special part of our memories of Vietnam. We were genuinely sad to leave, and there is absolutely nowhere else we would choose to stay when we return to Hoi An.
Thank you to the entire Emerald team for looking after our little family so beautifully once again. We will miss you all and hope it isn't too long before we see you again! ❤️🇻🇳
Our Hoi An home away from home. We couldn't recommend Emerald highly enough.
Thank you for our wonderful stay at your hotel. The room overlooking the river was perfect.
Staff very kind and helpful. Quang was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed in the restaurant. Would highly recommend
Beautiful setting and lovely atmosphere From reception welcoming through to room service and kitchen staff We have extended our stay b another 3 nights as we found it comfortable and enjoyable Special thank you to Uyen from kitchen staff that made our breakfast more beautiful with a smile
I stayed 18 nights at Emerald Hoi An Riverside Resort.
I have travelled extensively over my 72 years and never felt the need to write a Review. However, I had to with this stay.
The Resort was beautiful, although the room I stayed in needed a little touch of TLC. It was spacious and the bathroom, lovely.
The standout to me and why I’m writing this review was the staff. In particular Uyen and Thanh in the Restaurant. Of a morning, when I’d walk in for breakfast, I was so warmly welcomed that I felt very special. Then I was asked if I’d like my coffee and shown to the table I generally preferred. After the first omelette I had, Uyen and Thanh always remembered how I had it. The warmth, smiles and very polite conversation were extraordinary. Many places I’ve been as a solo senior lady, I’ve been ignored. Not here! This was a very wonderful experience with staff and in particular Uyen and Thanh making me feel extremely comfortable and welcome. They worked extremely hard. Often, I would also see them in the early evening, as I enjoyed the food so much, I decided to eat my dinner there also.
I highly recommend this Resort and do hope Management appreciate these young ladies, as I did.
Thank you both.
See you again!
