Da Nang Beach Hotels

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.

The 150m² villa for two was a bit excessive. Having the bedrooms on the second floor meant constant stair climbing, which wasn't ideal. The pool was amazing for a late-night dip, but lacked privacy. We had to keep the curtains closed all the time because the bungalows are quite close together, offering a direct view into each other's windows. Breakfasts were unimpressive. Lunch and dinner at the restaurant were overpriced. There are no other dining options nearby, and getting a taxi to Da Nang was a hassle. Taxis were a real problem; trying to get one to nearby attractions like Lady Buddha or the eco-trail required a lot of effort to summon a Max or hail one on the street. The hotel staff also offered their transport services, but the prices were unfortunately not reasonable. The beach, however, was stunning, and it made up for many of the hotel's shortcomings. It had a sandy bottom and no waves. In summary: the pros equal the cons. While you get seclusion and nature, the lack of dining options and the taxi problem were significant drawbacks. It's a great spot for a couple of days.

Overall: A super high-value resort for relaxation! You get the same beach as Da Nang resorts for a fraction of the price. Next time, I'm definitely coming straight here for a longer stay. ⭐️ Ambiance: Absolutely beautiful! The private beach is exactly as pictured, no filters needed, with fine, clean sand. The hotel layout genuinely feels like a seaside village, giving off a 'Vattori Village' vibe. It's incredibly tranquil both day and night, far from the hustle and bustle – a perfect place to unwind and recharge. Definitely a great escape for anyone needing a break! 😎 ⭐️ Breakfast: A fantastic spread with various Vietnamese specialties like Cao Lau and Quang Nam chicken noodles, all beautifully presented and very appetizing – highly recommend! The Vietnamese coffee is also delicious and not overly sweet. ⭐️ Facilities: The room size, view, and natural light are all excellent, with a charming resort-style decor. It's not a brand-new hotel, but it's well-maintained. Don't go in with sky-high expectations though; if you prefer luxurious, modern, and highly polished interiors, you might want to consider other options. ⭐️ Service: Very good! We accidentally broke something, and they came to clean it up immediately. All our requests were met without being overly enthusiastic. Every day after housekeeping, they light a lemongrass scented candle 🕯️ – that feeling of walking into a room filled with lemon fragrance, who can relate?! 🥳

The hotel is beautiful, reminiscent of those in Yalong Bay. The private beach is fantastic, with fine sand and clear water, perfect for watching the sunrise in the morning. Although the hotel garden isn't huge, it's very pretty, and there are four swimming pools. Breakfast offers a wide selection. However, the hotel corridors are open-air and have no air conditioning. Walking through the hotel leaves you quite sweaty, and there are many small insects. The hotel wings are very long, and it took us a long time to find our room when we first checked in, making us even sweatier. Furthermore, we had an unpleasant experience with our room. We booked two sea-view rooms; the one on the first floor was fine. But the other, a corner room on the third floor, had a balcony that only overlooked coconut trees and another room – absolutely no sea view. We spent half an hour trying to resolve this with the front desk, but our requests to change rooms were rejected numerous times, being told there were no rooms available. Finally, a pregnant lady, who we presumed was a manager, said she would try to move us to the 5th floor and would check availability. We eventually did get moved, but the whole process left a bad taste in our mouths – it felt like there were rooms available all along, but they were reluctant to change it. It took a long time to persuade them, and the staff seemed quite unhelpful and grumpy, though they were all smiles and very enthusiastic with non-Chinese guests.

We stayed at Anfada Hotel as a family and booked a two-bedroom unit. To our surprise, we had the entire floor to ourselves! Our unit had three bathrooms — one in each bedroom plus a guest bathroom near the kitchen. The huge king-size beds were amazing! We slept incredibly well. The views from all the windows were absolutely beautiful, and everything was very clean. There are two rooftop pools where we had a wonderful and fun time together as a family. We also really appreciated that the hotel allowed us to leave our luggage at reception both before check-in and after check-out. This made our day so much easier, as we could explore the city without carrying all our bags. Thank you to the hotel staff for this excellent service — all our belongings were kept perfectly safe. Our only suggestion would be to renovate the kitchen cabinets. They look quite worn, and there are large gaps around some of the cabinet doors. This stands out especially because the rest of the unit looks very nice and well maintained. Overall, we loved our stay so much that we didn't want to leave. We would definitely stay here again!

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.
