It’s my last few days here in Vietnam and what a brilliant way to complete my adventurous tour than to relax overlooking the sands of Bac My An Beach at the Pullman Da Nang Beach Resort & Spa. This resort offers uninterrupted views towards the beach views over a very long and grand water feature and the infinity swimming pool. The tropical gardens and ponds around the resort are beautiful to walk around and explore the flora and fauna of what Vietnam has to offer. The lush green lawns are also very therapeutic to walk on and take in this oasis environment.
Events And Facilities
The Pullman De Nang offers many activities for sports lovers that I could be part of during my stay. From cooking classes, kids clubs and water sports. The resort has tennis courts, badminton, petanque and basketball. I could hire a bike and explore the up and coming city of De Nang. There are three golf areas that I could play at too not far from the resort.
Weddings are a popular event here at the Pullman and can be hosted in the Grand Ballroom. With the gorgeous setting, wonderful photos can be taken as you can see here on our Instagram posts.
Reception
In entering the reception area the instant view of the very long water feature with views of the beach is a spectacular welcome to the Pullman De Nang.
Just soaking up the interior design, artwork and sitting in the very funky wooden chairs is a great welcome here. The mixing of modern design with a touch of Vietnamese culture has been perfectly created for a relaxing stay. The coffee bar overlooking the water and sea is the perfect location to wait to check-in.
Deluxe Room
I stayed in the deluxe room with views of the tropical garden and the swimming pool. I would highly recommend upgrading and choosing a room with a sea view. The Deluxe room had some lovely sliding doors towards the balcony so I could experience outdoor living right in my room. I loved this as it added extra space and the views of doors were hidden. The queen size bed was full of many different size pillows and was cosy, I slept well with the sound of the sea roaring in the background.
The inviting sofa was lovely to lounge on and breathe in the open fresh air or watch some TV. The two outdoor chairs were very comfortable too, great to enjoy some tea with chocolate pastries from the deli. This 42 m2 room was a lovely chilling out area to take in my last few days here in Da Nang. The working desk was a lovely long table and the internet here was fast, strong and therefore mixing work with pleasure was a stress-free experience for me here.
The bathroom was very clean and large enough to enjoy the high pressured water from either the rain shower or to soak in the very large bathtub. I loved the sink are which was beautifully lit up.
Breakfast
Breakfast was a wealth of many options of food where East meets West in the world of fusion cuisines. The huge buffet allowed me to eat and select at my own leisure. From fresh local fruit to dishes from Japan, there were endless amounts of food to enjoy breakfast. The egg station offered plenty of options to choose by. There were soups, fresh salads, fish and a dedicated European selection of French and Italian cheeses.
The fresh fruit juices on offer were very refreshing and a healthy way to get my body into gear for the endless world of relaxing. Vietnam is a big exporter of cashew nuts so I highly recommend trying the nuts. The coffee is excellent and there were plenty of coffee options to start off my day. The pastries are plentiful and the french toast with pancakes were yummy too.
The setting overlooking the beach for breakfast was beautiful, so do take the time to have breakfast at your own slow pace.
Pool And Beach Area
The beach area does not disappoint and was voted by Forbes as one of the most attractive beaches in the world. Here is why it scored so high:
- Traffic convenience – the beach at the back of the hotel with no road in between
- The beach is open and free for tourists
- Long and flat sand-bank
- Plenty of sunlight
- Waves suitable for playing sports
- Safe for tourists
- Plenty of luxury resorts and international standard villas of which this hotel is one
Whilst I was chilling on one of the sun loungers I was relaxed in the knowledge that my kids were safe, with security guards on the beach and also three lifeguards on patrol near the sea. The kids were entertained with the free to use body surfing boards, kids play area and also the swimming pool.
The infinity pool is large and has a dedicated fenced of kid’s section. The main pool is gently sloping and at the deepest end is 1.8m deep. Also here there is a dedicated lifeguard on duty.
Conclusion
Vietnam is becoming a very popular country to visit. It has so much raw and rustic experiences to offer. Many tourists come to central Vietnam to visit the unique city of Hoi An which is less than 30km away from Da Nang. The Pullman Da Nang Beach Resort & Spa offers a shuttle bus twice daily that drops off and pick ups staying guests, to go and explore the Ancient Town of Hoi An. Give yourself a whole day and evening to explore this unique world heritage town.
The Pullman Da Nang is a stone throw away from Da Nang city, which is also worth exploring. The resort offers a lovely relaxed stay with excellent facilities where I could just walk on the beach, swim and drink a cocktail in style.
