The hotel is about 10-15 minutes from Da Nang airport. It is a typical 5 star resort hotel, and for the most part my expectations were filled. Rooms are extremely comfortable, huge beds, clean. Bathroom very clean, walk in shower. Beautiful grounds. One lagoon swimming pool, one infinity, both very clean. Beer and wine not too extortionate. Good massage facilities, decently priced. Staff very attentive and friendly. The beach is clean, the water warm. Good sporting facilities on the beach. You could be tempted not to leave the resort for the whole of the time - but as a typical 5 star resort you could be anywhere in the world, and it is a waste of travelling time and money to remain in the hotel for the duration of the stay. If you stay in the hotel for the whole of your trip you will not feel that you have been in Vietnam. The beautiful town of Hoi An is only 20-25 minutes taxi away, chaotic Da Nang 10 minutes. Taxis are quite expensive compared to other things in the country (appr 17 US to Hoi An), and make sure you have arrangments to get a taxi back, as we found ourselves in Hoi An trying to flag a taxi when there are practically no cars on the road, only motorbikes.
Staff in the hotel speak reasonable English, but English is hardly spoken in Da Nang and Hoi An, which is a challenge but they try very hard, and it is really not a problem with a bit of goodwill
There is a small nightclub which was OK (and again, drinks reasonably priced), but extremely noisy.
The only other thing I did not like too much was the food. It was on the whole quite westernised, although the barbecues were very good. However this may have been down to the fact that we were travelling in a large group, so I do not feel qualified to comment on the overall standard.
I enjoyed my stay there, and would probably stay there again, partly due to the fact that the Vietnamese people are one of the most friendly people I have come across. At the moment the area is still fairly uncommercialised with only a handful of resorts along the coast - however there is extensive building work from the hotel to Hoi Ann (not visible or in earshot of the hotel), with names such as Hyatt building resorts there, and I feel that the whole area may lose some of its charm within a few years.
Definitely to be recommended as long as you do not confine yourself to the hotel for the duration or you will miss out !

Two nights at the Furama were wonderful.

We tried to get the pool view room to save money, but none were available. We upped the ante and reserved the ocean view for about $220 a night. Upon check in we were given a ground level room and could see some of the ocean through the ferns and ground buildings. We asked for a higher room and an hour later we were two floors up with a fabulous view. Make sure you get up at least one story- it makes a huge difference.

Jet lag had us up at sunrise for an amazing site. Tons of locals are out walking and exercising on the beach at 5am. We joined them and got a warm welcome from folks not accustomed to seeing very white caucasion, and hairy (me, not my wife) people on their beach.

Service was first rate and the buffet breakfast specaular. We avoided the dinner buffet for fear of eating too much.

Accross the street are some wonderful little shops to buy custom silk clothes and marble. We liked the marble so much they took us to their factory and we bought a five foot sculpture that is being shipped back to the USA at a bargin rate. Also check out Marble Mountain that is right there by all the scuplture shops. Be sure to bargin like crazy! The first price comes way down with a bit of tenacity!

Highly reccommend the Furama.

My husband and I absolutely love this resort. It's extremely clean, the breakfast buffet is fabulous, the service is excellent and the staff is wonderful.

We had a pool/ocean view room and the scenery was breathtaking.

We were there for only 1 week, and I got sick from a cold for 3 days. Luckily, the room was beautiful because I got to spend a lot of time in it. When housekeeping found out I was sick, they sent flowers to my room. How's that for service!

The beach is clean and the view is magnificent.

I read in a travel magazine that this resort as rated "as one of the 10 best resorts in Southeast Asia" and I definitely agree.

It's paradise on Earth.

Had a wonderfully peaceful stay at the Furama from 11th April to 14th April.

The rooms were well furnished and cleaned a couple of times a day. Nice little touches like serving 2 little slices of cake in the evenings to each room for a sweet end to the day.

The beach is extremely clean and service is available from the deckchairs at the beach.

Infinity pool is rather small but more than enough for the number of people using it.

The resort is laid out in a way which makes it rather sparsely populated, thus, even when the usually rowdy american tourist decend on the resort, it does not get too noisy for too long.

Service in all aspects was attentive without being intrusive. Although the service staff had problems understanding the english spoken from this Singaporean's mouth, they did understand "sign language" which made everything much easier.

The location of this resort is quite isolated. The nearest restaurants are about a 5 minute (USD 2) taxi ride away. Not too good if you're lazy and want to have a quick and cheap dinner.

All in all, it was one of the most wonderful beach holiday's i've ever had. Thanks to all service staff at the Furama for such a great holiday.
