Travel to Da Nang

We got up and had our last breakfast at the Park Hyatt.  We both discussed how we were going to miss the hotel breakfast.

After checking out, we headed to the Ho Chi Minh airport.  As we sat and waited for our Vietnam Airlines flight 126 to Da Nang, I people watched.  I guess the latest trend is to wear crocs with hole fillers as well as for teenage girls to carry stuffed animals. I spotted a few women in their twenties doing this and thought, you can get away doing that in your teens but mid-twenties?

The flight was just over an hour long and it was uneventful.  We arrived in Da Nang, met our guide and headed to the TIA Wellness hotel.  As we drove to the hotel, the first thing I noticed was that the hotel wasn’t in Da Nang nor was it in Hoi An.  There wasn’t much around the resort except for other resorts, including Marriott, Wyndham and Radisson.  I guess we were going to be eating hotel food the next few days.

I typically don’t book spa hotels and I thought it would be fun to do something different. but the hotel was right on the beach and the villa had a private pool. The hotel included two wellness treatments, including massages, per day.

Unfortunately, when we arrived it was pouring rain so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool or beach that day but the resort was very nice.  We had lunch at the poolside restaurant and had Cau Lau, a central Vietnamese pork noodle dish which we both enjoyed.

I had to get a chuckle out of the bathroom.  When you opened up the door to use the restroom, the lid to the toilet opened up automatically in addition to a light in the bowl lighting up!

Afterwards, we went for a massage – I had the bamboo rub out and it felt good.
