Why People Love It
- The 28th-floor infinity pool offers one of the best panoramic beach views in Da Nang
- Located directly in the 'An Thuong' tourist hub, steps from the sand
- Breakfast buffet is surprisingly extensive with both Western and Vietnamese stations
Quick Take: A shiny, Instagram-ready tower that prioritizes views over privacy and elevator logistics.
Reviewed by @lingbergner1: I honestly couldn't believe how perfect this setup was for us. The kids went crazy for their bunk beds, which meant we actually got to enjoy that insane ocean view in peace. If you're bringing the family to Danang, this suite is a total game-changer.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'Afternoon Tea' included in many rates is a nice gesture but often just basic cakes and tea bags, not a high-tea experience.
- You live for the rooftop pool selfie
- You want to walk 30 seconds from lobby to beach lounger
- You enjoy the energy of a busy tourist district
Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.2
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though sometimes rush through the vacuuming.
- Bathroom hygiene: Glass surfaces are usually streak-free, but watch for ants near the sink in lower floor rooms.
- Maintenance: New building feel, but signs of wear on carpets and scuff marks in hallways are appearing.
- Linens & towels: Crisp white linens, but towels can be on the thin/scratchy side compared to true luxury hotels.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of lemongrass (pumped in); rooms are generally neutral unless a previous guest smoked (rare but happens).

Insider Tips
- ✨
Use the spa showers on the checkout day if you have a late flight; they are cleaner and nicer than the pool showers.
- ✨
The 'Afternoon Tea' is best enjoyed for the view, not the food—go early (2 PM) to get a window seat.
- ✨
Don't buy tours from the lobby desk without checking prices on Klook or Grab first; markups are common.
