I have recently returned from a trip to Furama Resort in Danang. I was impressed with its location as the trip from Danang Airport was amazingly fast. Even better was that my transfer was pre-organised by the hotel for only a small cost and the convenience was well worth it.

We loved the location of the property right on China Beach, it has to be one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen and definitely with the whitest sand. Whilst we were there we did a lot of swimming. The beach was patrolled by life guards which was an added bonus as we have young teenagers. I was told that these life guards were actually trained by Australians. My wife and I are big on adventure and water sports so we were also happy we could do some whilst we were there – the water was perfect for it!

As we were there for a week we decided to spend the first day lying by the pool and relaxing then the next day we took a trip into Hoi An. This was great as the hotel offered a complimentary shuttle to and from Hoi An making it a perfect day trip for us. It was also fantastic for the kids to be able to show them an ancient town full of culture and history whilst still being able to head back to the comfort of our hotel at night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Furama, it really was the perfect family holiday destination for us!

My wife and I stayed here for five nights on our honeymoon back in late November 2008. At that time the place was nearly deserted as it was winter so cloudy, windy and drizzling every day. But that didn't spoil it! It just made it more relaxing and we still took advantage of the pools and treated the place like it was all our own - the perfect way to wind down after a stressful even like a wedding.

The staff were all very friendly and genuine, and most seemed to really enjoy their jobs. We are not used to the Five Star treatment at all and it was a bit odd at first, but soon enough we felt quite at home.

The daily shuttle to Hoi An is excellent - if it weren't for that we might have felt a bit "hemmed in" since there wasn't much happening at the resort at that time of year.

Notes: 1) Happy hour drinks prices are quite reasonable and the live music was great :)
2) If you need washing done, take it across the road (the shop 2nd from the left, NOT the left-most shop) since the in-house laundry service prices are extortionate.
3) Don't get clothes made at the tailor just outside reception. Go to Hoi An...
4) If you want a 'real' resort experience, don't go in winter! Haha. If we really wanted to use the beach etc we would have been very disappointed. That's not the resort's fault at all though, and it didn't matter to us. In better weather it would be absolutely stunning.

All up a very memorable and enjoyable stay with execllent service and good value as well (mostly). Would go again :)

The Furama is a lovely hotel with fantastic staff. Without exception all the staff were friendly and helpful, everyone greeted us in the corridor. It lies right on the beach and, for a change, it has loads of sunloungers, both on the beach and around the two pools. The beach is lovely and clean and you can walk a long way further up China Beach. At the moment the Furama stands more or less alone on its stretch of beach so its lovely and quiet but several hotels (inclucing a monstrosity a bit further along) are being built so I am not sure how long it will be peaceful for! Food is average, a bit of a let down for a hotel which was exceptional in all other respects. The only disadvantage is that there are no other restaurants around at which to eat, and therefore you tend to be a bit of a prisoner in the hotel in the evenings. They have music in the bar and in a small night club but this is definitely not a hotel to choose if you have teenage kids or are looking for a club type scene. The hotel provides a free shuttle to Hoi An which is only about 20 minutes away and well worth a day trip. Overall a lovely hotel to which we would definitely return. We stayed in an ocean front junior suite since we were having a long weekend away without the kids but there would be plenty of room there for a family with two children. The garden rooms were a lot cheaper and looked out onto beautiful gardens although with no sea view at all. Hotel has a lovely pool which overlooks the beach and is a wonderful place just to lie around and relax. I probably wouldn't select this hotel if we had taken the children with us, although they do have a kids club, but there were very few children when we were there, which was over the Easter Weekend. A fantastic choice for a couple looking for quiet, together time, or a group of adults wanting to relax and explore Hoi An.

I stayed at Furama at the tail end of my vacation in VN after spending the previous seven days in Mui Ne, Hon Rom and Nha Trang. Initially, I was supposed to stay at the Furama for one night but we had such a good time that we extended for three days. My flight from Nha Trang arrived at 0900 and the hotel allowed us to check in with no problems. Our two young children loved the kids club where they spent most of the day participating in different planned activities throughout the day. The rooms are modern, clean and well furnished. The private, whitesand beach was also spotless. All of the staff were wonderful; from checkin to beachside, everyone was extremely nice and helpful. This hotel truly lives up to its five star rating. Thanks for a time.
