Am glad that I chose to stay at the Paracel Beach Hotel when there are numerous (newer - established - brand name) hotels along this main road across from the beach.
From check-in to check-out, the hotel staff was attentive, friendly and very helpful - speaking English well enough to communicate without using a translation app.
Every morning I was greeted with a big welcoming smile before heading towards the breakfast buffet which provided more than enough to accommodate all dietary needs. Food was frequently replenished and made-to-order food (ie. eggs, pho) was also available. Special attention was always given by Nguyen Long and her co-workers, Dung, Ngan, Dinh, and Phong.
The cost to transfer from the airport to hotel should be 150,000 vnd.
Great location: close to the crosswalk for the beach, countless restaurants, unlimited centres for spa treatments. Each morning I looked forward to watching the sun rise across the South China Sea from my bed through the open balcony doors. My concerns about hotel cleanliness and outside noise (traffic, people/music, bars/restaurants) in my room were unwarranted.
In my perfect world:
- I’d prefer Housekeeping to start cleaning earlier (in the morning). But then, vacationers are usually away from their rooms in the afternoon.
- I’d prefer more English-speaking television stations. But again, vacationers are not staying in their rooms to watch tv.
Other than the above-noted, it was a perfect 9-day hotel stay in DaNang.
