Beach Hotels in Da Nang

Pros: 1. The hotel's natural environment is excellent, offering sightings of incredibly rare protected animals. They also provide a free wildlife tour, which I highly recommend. It's a fantastic experience to simply walk around the hotel and spot monkeys foraging. 2. The service is outstanding. The hotel staff are attentive and very considerate of guests. The welcome drink was delicious. The hotel facilities are well-maintained, and I received a room upgrade with a great view and a spacious layout. 3. The slippers were very comfortable. The breakfast tableware was exquisite. Cons for me: 1. The claim of being the 'most beautiful Intercontinental' is an exaggeration. Some areas even felt [as pictured], though I suppose one could call it 'unique.' Personally, I found it gaudy. 2. I strongly recommend including executive lounge access. If you arrive early, since there's no air conditioning in the public areas, the only cool indoor space to relax is the executive lounge. Otherwise, you're stuck waiting in the hotel lobby, and elderly guests and children need to be careful to avoid heatstroke. 3. The breakfast was delicious, and the fruit quality was high. However, it's baffling why the other restaurants were so bad. After reading reviews that even the Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant wasn't great, I booked a package that included dinner. I paid extra to change the dishes, but they were still terrible. It was arguably the worst meal I had in Vietnam. 4. Although the hotel was uncrowded and had a good environment, the beach quality was very average, and the loungers by the sea started closing down every day at 6 PM. In summary, I think this Intercontinental is worth staying at, but don't go in with exceptionally high expectations.

Staff, food, and beach were all wonderful. There is a sea wall straight out from the beach, which during low tide means there are almost no waves. During high tide there are more gentle waves. At first we were a little disappointed in this as we love the sound of the waves, but when we visited a beach further down, there was no swimming allowed as the waves were too severe. So I am glad we could go swimming any time. The beach is white sand, no garbage, no seaweed, just nice clean sandy beach. The room was nice, but the AC blows right on your head, which my wife does not appreciate. However it was too hot to not have it on, so she spent night with a pillow over her head :) The only real negative is the location. I imagine this used to be a happening area; it is no longer. There is a small shop just in front of the hotel which also does laundry and mediocre massage, so that is convenient. But there is little else in the area. We ended up taking a Grab everywhere. That being said, it was very quiet and peaceful, so it depends on what you are interested in. If you want a place to just set up and stay, the food was good, the beach is great, the staff is wonderful, and the beach was very quiet. Oh, and the spa was fantastic although a little pricey as all hotel spas are.

To be honest, some highs and lows here. The service here is more like a 3-star hotel, definitely not a 4-star. I remembered the first two days I was presented with this nice buffet with good food choices , then for another 3 or 4 days, the buffet stopped running and they switched to this really underwhelming a la carte menu that looked more befitting into a 2-star backpacker or student hostel. Then I found out the buffet was only set up because of a number of Chinese guests staying there. When they left, the buffet went (obviously me and the other 15 guests who were staying there, didn't deserve it??) The last two days they set it up again, and surprise, a large number of Russian guests had just checked in. So it turns that only if you are Chinese or Russian you get the attentions here? I know what I paid wasn't cheap, smacks of discrimination. Then on those days the service turned sloppy, I came early for breakfast, I think this is the first place I have been, where they penalise you if you come to eat early. 30 mins after opening and some trays were cold, I had to use the toaster to heat it up. The housekeeping was a bit strange here. They didn't replace the bed sheets, they simply tucked them in (I know this anecdotically, for a fact) One of the coffee cups replaced was soiled and stained, and in one occasion, they had removed one of the bar items without telling me (paving the way to maybe ask me to pay for it later without me taking it, this is not a good practice) The coffee bar was very hit and miss. Some of the pastry pieces on display were some of the most ghastly I've ever seen, they looked raw, I had to ask them if they had been baked, they said yes (they were unglazed) On the second day, they served me this wishy washy mish mash of crushed ice with some mango on top, didn't taste of anything, they wanted 40000 d for that, how is that even on the menu? After that, I didn't set foot in there again. The hotel was not even at 20% capacity, and they had the brilliant idea of putting people directly next to me and above upstairs..really? The pikey backpackers would be thumping on the floor a lot of the time, very poor isolation. Upon leaving, I had this Be taxi driver (white car, 125.xx plate) He parked across the road, I was carrying my suitcases, I told him to turn around. He got in his taxi, drove off, and left me STRANDED, this was a booking to the airport, what kind of subhuman does that??? My experience with the Vietnamese is not great, but the staff here were kind and helpful, and assisted me greatly. Location not really great, a bit far from everything, but the place was very clean. So there are some positives, but this is in no way a 4 star for me, especially when subject to profiling and priviledges are removed, depending on where you come from, and what colour your skin is.

One of the hotel’s greatest strengths is its privacy and intimate atmosphere. The property consists of large detached villas, with only a little over 20 in total, each with its own private pool. The hotel is set slightly away from Da Nang, other resorts, and busy tourist areas, which makes it feel very peaceful. At the same time, getting to and from the hotel is easy, and food delivery is also possible — Grab drivers come to the property without any issues. The hotel has a beautiful, quiet bay where swimming is very comfortable, with almost no waves. There are enough sun loungers for all guests, and the overall atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The restaurant is generally good: Vietnamese dishes are prepared especially well, while the European options are a bit less consistent. There are a few areas where the hotel could improve. The villas and facilities would benefit from renovation and modernization, as some of the equipment feels outdated and not always in the best condition. The villas also have large kitchens, but cooking is not allowed, and the kitchens are not really equipped for practical use. Apart from a few water glasses, there are no basic items such as a corkscrew, wine glasses, or even a plate for fruit, which felt a little surprising. The beach could also be maintained more carefully. I noticed some small pieces of litter, and during the day there were quite a few small flies, so better insect control would make the experience more comfortable. I also came across a dead rat on the beach; however, to the hotel’s credit, once I informed a staff member, it was removed promptly. Of course, the hotel is surrounded by nature, but for a property of this level, closer attention to such details would make a big difference. Overall, this is a pleasant and peaceful hotel, especially for a short weekend stay. It is a good choice if you are looking for privacy, a quiet bay, and a spacious villa with a private pool. For a longer stay, however, the limited infrastructure may become noticeable, as the hotel grounds are quite small and there is not much to do beyond the beach, restaurant, and small spa.

This is a nice resort if a bit too simple and a bit odd at times. It’s well looked after, beautiful and full of greenery, inhabited by funny Myna birds, which made every moment of being outside a bit more peculiar and entertaining. But there’s not much to explore around the territory. Most of the pathways are dead ends leading to rooms. And it’s basically just the pool, 3 restaurants, reception, spa, and rooms, rooms, rooms. The pool is rather big, but seems to be suffering from some architectural and design flaws. It’s never in the shade and has no cooling system, hence it gets very hot very fast, lacking refreshing and cooling properties it should have. Breakfast buffet offers a lot, but lacks simple foods. Many of the dishes are too oily, fat, salty or sweet, and you can’t do anything about it. The beach is nice, but rather small and empty, lacking beach beds on the grassy area and lacking a couple of more showers and steps to the sea. Thankfully the sea itself is great, clean and cool. The rooms are fine, with AC not pointing at the bed, but there are not enough power outlets and there’s not enough furniture. The staff are all welcoming and helpful, but we didn’t have many opportunities to interact with them. Which is probably a good thing, meaning that we don’t encounter many issues during our stay. Fitness room is surprisingly big with lots of equipment and event air-conditioned properly, but we sadly didn’t have time to use it, as we enjoyed the sea too much. The resort is well situated, very close to Hoi An and to lots of local eateries.

The overall stay was fantastic! The room was clean and comfortable, and the environment was very tidy. I felt completely at ease throughout my stay. The location is convenient, and the surrounding amenities are great. The host was quick to respond to messages and very friendly, always patiently assisting with any questions. The overall experience was very pleasant, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance!

The location is good, the air conditioning works well, and the water pressure is decent. However, it feels a bit old, and the breakfast was just terrible. There was nothing to eat, so for two days I only had cucumbers, tomatoes, and omelets, and for the rest of the time, I just slept in. Room cleaning was done daily, but it seemed they only made the bed, emptied the trash, and replaced towels. It didn't feel like a thorough cleaning; there were still hairs on the bathroom floor. There were no bugs, and for the price, I'm generally satisfied. One minor disappointment was the duvet cover. One day, the duvet cover at the foot of the bed seemed a bit torn, and my foot got caught in it, which was quite painful. Also, the soundproofing is absolutely non-existent. I could hear every conversation outside the door and even my neighbor's sneezes. Wow, this is the first time I've stayed somewhere with such terrible soundproofing. It seems to be the result of a wooden door with a wide gap. And as other reviews mentioned, most of the guests are indeed Indian. **Overall:** Decent value for money. Breakfast is trash. Don't expect much.

This resort has the most affordable rates among the other higher-tiered resorts along this stretch of beach so you get what you pay for correspondingly. (1) Room: I was given a free upgrade from Superior garden room to Premium deluxe garden room in a 5-storey building with lifts. I like the huge space and balcony (2 main differences from the Superior room). Essential items found in room: safe, hairdryer, kettle, minibar, toiletries, 42” smart TV, rubber flip flops, bottled water and towels of different sizes. No bathrobe or ironing equipment. Furnishings - obviously old and worn especially the dirty balcony chairs/table, the stained/peeled veneer on tray for the toiletries and room's discoloured phone. Spring mattress creaked with even slight movements - not ideal but bearable. Most important to me: my room was clean, facilities worked fine and I didn't see any insects or detect any foul smell. (2) Service: Staff are poorly trained. Most are indifferent and slow especially the staff in the restaurant during breakfast hours (6.30 - 10 am). None of them understood the urgent need to clear tables quickly or replenish cutlery, glasses, cups etc (all were used up befor 9 am on some days). Many dirty tables and staff were oblivious to them. The best staff are the housekeeping team - the most pleasant and responsive! (3) Location: safe, beautiful and fairly clean for beach strolls, more appealing than My Khe beach (definitely less crowded). Two new minimarts within 10 minutes' walk from hotel (one directly opposite Marriott and one opposite Koi resort). Some small restaurants diagonally across the road. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, mostly due to the wonderful beach, just metres away, in front of the hotel. The affordable room rate (at the time of my hotel search) was certainly another big draw too!

Hoang Sa is located 10 minutes from the beach, that's the main advantage. The area is not very comfortable for walking or picturesque but there are shops nearby, cheap laundry services, market, exchange office. We stayed in 3 different deluxe rooms during about 3 weeks. All rooms are spacious with big beds. The air conditioner was old and working with some trouble in 2 rooms. The shower was great. Wi fi was quite good. There are a lot of ants around the desk in one room. Great service at the reception and room service every day, they always brought water, toilet paper and tea. There was some noise from the construction nearby and some karaoke outside from time to time. The lift was fast. They also provide baggage storage at the reception, we went away for a week and left suitcases there. The location is not far from My An and the sights. There are a lot of massage salons in the street, prices are affordable.

Spacious and beautiful room with large windows, letting in lots of light. The room also has a bathtub. The staff are pleasant and friendly, and there's a large pool on the rooftop. On the first floor, there's a gym with exercise equipment and mirrors. The second floor features a spa and sauna. The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the sea and boasts a good location with shops and cafes nearby.
