Guestrooms at the Hoi An Marriott Resort & Spa will be stylishly appointed and will have balconies from which to enjoy the panoramic beach and coastline. The resort will have four food and beverage outlets as well as abundant recreational amenities such as three swimming pools, a world-class spa and outdoor tennis courts.
