Choosing a beachfront or downtown Da Nang hotel? Clear pros and cons.

Beachfront hotels (Mỹ Khê, Non Nước, Xuân Thiều): direct sea view, private beach or just a 100m walk away, and an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Cons: 3-5km from dining areas (requires Grab), and prices are 30-50% higher. Ideal for families with children and those seeking pure relaxation.

Central hotel (Hai Chau, along Han River): walk to Han Market, Con Market, eateries, and cafes — no Grab needed. Watch the Dragon Bridge fire-breathing show from your balcony. Cons: far from the beach (3-5km, Grab 60-100k), river view instead of sea view, noisier at night. Perfect for travelers who love to actively explore.

Optimal combo: 2 nights by the coast (Furama, Sheraton) + 2 nights in the city center (Novotel, Muong Thanh Luxury) — total 4 nights for a 5-day 4-night tour. If only 3 nights: choose one direction based on your main purpose (relaxation or exploration).
