Hội An keeps lunar time
Counting down to the next full moon

“The best place to stay in Hoi An. We stayed for 5 nights and had the best time at this boutique hotel. The rooms are very nice, the bed is extremely comfortable, and we had a nice view of the sunset. The swimming pool area is really nice as well. Breakfast was amazing with lots of options. They have free bicycles which is great because you can get to the city center in 10 mins and also go to the beach through the rice fields (aprox 40 mins). They also have some shuttle options which are complementary. The staff was great! Front desk staff really helpful and friendly. Especially Katy who checked us in and Vi who helped us with a situation we had during our stay. Very personalized stay as well. Recommend staying for at least 3/4 nights for getting the best out of town/beach nearby/and a day chilling in the hotel. I wanted to leave this comment on Booking but I couldn’t. Thank you!!”

“I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Nghe Prana Hotel & Spa Hoi An. What truly set this apart was outstanding guest relations team guided by Hana. I was staying in another hotel in ancient town and cycling around Hoi An looking for a better hotel. This hotel is located right on the serene Thu Bon River in Cam Nam with perfect peaceful island vibe. From the moment I arrived, Hana helped us to arrange for room preference with good rate. She helped us to ensure our safety and arrange trasportation during night tour in Ancient town. A special thank you to Hana, who is above and beyond by helping us with last minute walk in room booking with her dedication, special care, warm attitude and quick problem solving made us feel incredibly valued. The room were comfortable and location was perfect. We will definitely return because of outstanding hospitality!”

“We absolutely fell in love with this hotel, it was truly amazing. |We had been travelling Vietnam and this was our last hotel and I'm so pleased it was.|From the minute we arrived we were greeted by Katy and Hannah who were super friendly and helpful and this remained throughout our stay here.|The hotel is small but perfectly situated alongside the river which makes it such a serene and peaceful place to stay. |Our room was fabulous very clean, light and airy with a super view of the river. The bed was very comfortable. Air con worked well as did the WiFi.|The pool was a welcome treat in the afternoon when the heat was too much, we very much enjoyed a leisurely swim with a cheeky cocktail in hand !|The breakfast was great, and so were the dinners and lunch we enjoyed, cooked very well and delicious.|The hotel is situated a little outside the ancient town the free shuttle came in handy ,but also a grab taxi cost about £1.|We were truly sad to leave, as we met some super people, we have spoken highly of the hotel to our family and friends and hope to return soon .”

How Often Should You Exfoliate Your Body? What the Experts Say, and Why They Differ
At most two or three times a week, and never every day, says a Harvard dermatologist; the American Academy of Dermatology gives no number at all, only a rule: the harsher the scrub, the less often. No study has tested any of these frequencies. Here is who says what and why they differ, how to adjust for dry, oily or bumpy skin, the signs you are overdoing it, when not to scrub at all, and what a coffee scrub does and does not do.
Hot Stone Massage Benefits: What the Trials Show, and What the Heat Adds
A hot stone massage eased pain, anxiety and poor sleep in small trials, compared with no massage at all. The one trial that also gave patients a massage without stones found the two equal, and heat on the skin reaches only a centimetre or so into muscle. The real risk is a burn, which a guest may not feel for three or four minutes. Here is what each trial compared, which popular claims have nothing behind them, who should skip it, and what we charge in Hội An.
Foot Massage Benefits: What the Trials Show, and Does Reflexology Work Better?
A foot massage eased pain, anxiety and poor sleep in dozens of small trials, nearly all against no massage at all. When reflexology has been tested against a plain foot massage of the same length, it has mostly done no better. The hormone that has actually been measured rising is oxytocin; cortisol barely moves in the trials, and endorphins, detox and immunity have never been measured. Here is what each claim rests on, where good sources disagree, who should not have one, and our prices in Hội An.
Is Gel Polish Bad for Your Nails? Gel vs Regular Polish, From the Studies
Gel can leave nails brittle and splitting, but most of the reported damage comes from taking it off badly, not from wearing it. The UV lamp's cancer risk is judged low and unproven; the risk that lasts is an allergy to the acrylates in gel, which can follow you to the dentist. Here is what the studies measured, where they disagree, how to choose between gel and regular polish for a trip, and our prices in Hội An.
Is Facial Steaming Good for Your Skin? What the Evidence Actually Shows
Nobody has studied facial steaming on human skin, so most of the benefits you read about are borrowed from saunas, cadaver skin or habit. Steam does not open pores; heat is a known trigger for rosacea and eczema, and one large study links it to worse melasma. It is warm and pleasant, and ten minutes at a distance is unlikely to harm most skin. Here is what each claim rests on, who should skip it, how long and how often, and how we use steam in our facials in Hội An.
Can You Get a Pedicure or a Facial While Pregnant? What the Evidence Says
Yes. MotherToBaby, the US service that answers questions about exposures in pregnancy, says routine nail treatments should not cause any concern, and a doctor writing in Vietnam's Ministry of Health newspaper says pregnancy does not rule out skincare. What changes is the detail: keep the leg massage light, leave out pressure points, skip the hot tub and steam, and avoid retinoid creams. Here is what each source says, where Vietnamese hospital pages disagree with it, and what we offer pregnant guests in Hội An.
