Review
“We visited Hoi An in August 2015, and Palm Garden is the best place for a family vacation. The pool is excellent and the staff is very helpful. They offer many entertainment activities for guests, and performances at night. The restaurants offer delicious and diverse food. The children’s play area has many interesting activities. We will definitely return. One small tip is not to choose rooms by the main road, because they are very loud especially at night,” said Charlotte0519 from Manchester, United Kingdom on TripAdvisor.

Review
“More than perfect. I came here with my husband in March 2016 and stayed at The Beach Villa with a beautiful ocean view. The pool is especially beautiful, and we spent the majority of our time there. There are three restaurants to choose from (Thai, Vietnamese and Italian cuisine), but it is hard to say which one has the best food, because all three are excellent. We will definitely return,” wrote Marina B from Los Angeles, California on TripAdvisor.
“For only two days here, we had some great experiences. Everything was perfect, from the quick check in at the villa, and very helpful childcare services. Spa services here are very professional and classy. I advise you to eat at Saffron restaurant, the food and service here are excellent,” wrote Anh Phuong from Hanoi on TripAdvisor.
