After having had an almost 8 hour flight to Ho Chi Minh from Melbourne and then a connecting flight from Ho Chi Minh to Da Nang, a quick hour flight arriving at night time, I was very much looking forward to settling in to my accomodation, which is only 14 kilometres from Da Nang International Airport!.
I have stayed at many Sheraton properties around the world and of course, my home country of Australia, but this was my first time to Vietnam and stayed at Sheraton Grand Da Nang, which is a very impressive looking property on the outside. On arrival, I was greeted by a very grand hotel lobby with flights of stairs on either side , Table 88 all day dining and the Tea Lounge, where you can enjoy high tea or simply a hot/cold beverage I was offered ginger tea and a warm towel by one of the many very friendly hotel employees!. Perfect way to kick off my stay!.
My room was on the 4th floor, in Hotel 1. It had partial ocean views and views of an extremely long pool, the biggest of the pools there. There is also Hotel 2 and 3 on the same site but in different buildings. One of the biggest selling points of the hotel is that it is located right on the beach with life guards on duty and water sports equipment available for hire, if you simply aren’t content by lounging by the pools.
The inside of my room was very inviting with a wall mounted flat screen high definition TV, 2 Double Beds, marble furnishings on the floors and desk, decorative wallpapers on the wall, a balcony, ottoman by the beds and a lengthy bathroom .
Throughout my stay, I have noticed it is very quiet during the cooler season, and there a few perks to this. 1. You have more space and peace 2. Though it is supposed to be the cooler season, the reality is that during the day it is still very much pool or beach weather because of Vietnam’s (particularly the South’s) close proximity to the equator.
As if the hotel couldn’t already score brownie points already with its location , luxurious decor, several pools on offer, spa and attentive , welcoming staff, it is also very family friendly with dedicated play areas with a ball pit, slide, drawing area and PlayStation to keep little ones busy!.I found it extremely difficult to fault the Sheraton Grand Da Nang, which helped shape my stay to be a memorable one!. I will definitely be back again!.
