Lexical features showed expressions denoting qualities and benefits of resorts, characteristics of resorts by using adjectives, adverbs, pronouns and that nouns were prominent lexical features which were thoroughly analyzed and compared. Besides, reference, conjunction in both English and Vietnamese resorts’ advertisements were also exploited as cohesive devices. Finally, stylistic analysis reveals simile, metaphor, personification, rhetorical questions and hyperbole in ERAs and simile, personification and hyperbole in VRAs were the prominent devices used in both ERAs and VRAs.
