Da Nang's BEST Oceanfront Pool Paradise: 2A Blue Sea Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on "2A Blue Sea Awaits!" in Da Nang. And, let me tell you, it's not your average hotel review. I’m talking the whole shebang - the good, the maybe not so good, and everything in between. Get ready for a rollercoaster, because honestly, that’s what a vacation should feel like.
First things first: Accessibility. This is HUGE. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, a lot of places say they’re accessible and then you get there and it's like, "Yeah, right. Maybe if you're a contortionist with a personal Sherpa." But, 2A Blue Sea Awaits seems to get it. They've got elevators, which is a massive win. More on this later, but I didn't have to lug my suitcase up five flights of stairs, which is a miracle in itself.
Getting Around: Airport transfer is a godsend after a long flight, so that's a big tick. Free parking is always appreciated. Plus, they've got a car park on-site too! I'm all in! Also, a taxi service is available, which is helpful if you're like me and get a little too enthusiastic during cocktail hour. (More on that later - oh, yes, there will be cocktails…)
On-site Restaurants/Lounges + Dining, Drinking, Snacking: This is where things get interesting. They've got a whole host of restaurants, from Asian to International, plus bars. Okay, let's get down to business. A la carte is my jam! I like to pick and choose, and buffet style is my nightmare (too many choices, I can never decide!). There’s a poolside bar. Now we're talking. Happy hour? Please and thank you!
The "Breakfast [buffet]" is a mixed bag. The Asian selection was pretty decent, but I must say the "Western breakfast" was…well, it was there. Let's just say my expectations weren't met. I'm not sure what I was expecting, to be honest, but the scrambled eggs tasted suspiciously like they'd been pre-scrambled a week ago. The coffee? Oh, dear God, the coffee…
But, the Poolside bar! The cocktails were delicious. And the view! This is where 2A Blue Sea Awaits truly shines. Sipping a perfectly crafted cocktail while looking out at the ocean? Pure bliss. They even have a happy hour, so naturally, I took full advantage. I may or may not have made some questionable decisions involving karaoke at the end of the night. Don't judge me.
Things to do, Ways to Relax: Okay, the pool with a view is spectacular. Seriously, you could spend your entire vacation just lounging by the pool. But oh, there’s so much more. They've got facilities for disabled guests!
I’m talking a spa, a sauna, a steam room! (And I totally took advantage of the spa.) I got a massage. Listen, I'm a stress case. And I mean, a total stress case. But let me tell you, that massage? It was life-changing. I think I actually drooled a little bit. The masseuse must have been trained in the ancient art of melt-your-troubles-away.
They also have a fitness center (which I may or may not have visited…once). And a foot bath! (I might have spent hours in the foot bath, just letting the world melt away.)
Cleanliness and Safety: This is HUGE, especially these days. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I was very pleased. The anti-viral cleaning products gave me peace of mind, and hand sanitizer was everywhere. Masks were mandatory.
For the Kids: I don’t have kids, but I saw they have babysitting service, kids facilities, and kids meals. So if you're traveling with the little ones, it looks like 2A Blue Sea Awaits has you covered.
Services and Conveniences: The staff! Absolutely lovely. The front desk is 24-hour! Luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and laundry service? Essential. They have a concierge! They even have a couple's room. Score!
Okay, Let's Talk Rooms: Available in all rooms: Air conditioning (Praise be!), a mini-bar (necessary!), and free Wi-Fi (essential for Instagramming your perfect vacation). Plus, the view from the balcony was insane. I spent hours just staring out at the ocean, letting the sea breeze wash over me. It's worth it, even if the bed linens aren't the most luxuriously soft.
The "Rooms sanitized between stays." - Again, makes you feel safer.
The "Meh" Stuff:
- Internet: The Wi-Fi (free!) was occasionally spotty. Maybe it's just my phone, or perhaps it was the sheer volume of Instagram stories I was uploading. Hey, a girl's gotta document her vacation!
- Room Decorations: The room decor was a little…basic. Not bad, not great. Just…there. It got the job done.
- No Pets Allowed: Well, that’s a bummer for my furry friends. But hey, I can't fault the hotel for it.
Final Verdict & A Killer Offer:
So, should you book 2A Blue Sea Awaits? YES. Absolutely, YES. Despite a few minor imperfections (and let's be honest, no place is perfect!), the pros far outweigh the cons. The oceanfront pool?

Unbelievable Anqing Luxury: Atour Hotel Wuyue Plaza Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're heading to Da Nang, Vietnam, baby! And not just anywhere in Da Nang, oh no, we're talking about POOL seaview 2A -Blue Sea Apart- Near beach Da Nang Vietnam. I booked this place, which, let's be honest, felt like a total win after scrolling through a million tiny, grey listings online. Here's the messy, glorious plan:
The Messy, Glorious Da Nang Adventure (AKA: Praying I Don't Catch Dengue)
Day 1: Arrival and the "Oh My God, Is That a Motorbike?" Moment
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Wake up? More like drag myself out of bed after barely sleeping on the flight. Airplane food nightmares, am I right? Arrive at Da Nang International Airport (DAD). The air hits you like a warm, humid hug. Immediately regret not practicing my Vietnamese… and possibly buying more bug spray. Find a pre-booked airport transfer (thank god for anticipating my future self's laziness). The driver, a skinny dude with a winning smile, probably thinks I'm a walking, talking tourist stereotype.
- Mid-morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Check into POOL seaview 2A. Fingers crossed it actually is near the beach and has a pool that's not full of questionable green stuff. The apartment itself is better than I expected. Views are KILLER! Immediately start mentally rearranging the furniture. Who needs to unpack when you can obsess over the rug?
- Lunch (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM): First order of business? Food, and food that's immediately available! Find a local place (hopefully without a menu that's just a series of incomprehensible pictures). I'm thinking Banh Mi to initiate the experience, that simple, easy, and delicious.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Exploring the neighborhood. Walk to the beach, feeling all the warm, humid bliss, take some photos as the sun is beginning it's decent, start soaking in the atmosphere of the place!
- Late Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): The Oh My God, Is That a Motorbike? moment. (Spoiler: It's a million motorbikes.) Seriously, the traffic is a chaotic ballet of honking and weaving. I'm going to need to master the art of dodging these things quickly.
- Evening (6:00 PM onwards): Sunset on the beach. Drinks! Food! I'm hoping to be blown away on the beauty of the beach and the quality of the food and drinks I'll have!
Day 2: Trying to Be a Cultural Explorer (Probably Fail)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Trying to do something remotely "cultural", I'm thinking the Marble Mountains. I'm picturing serene temples and stunning views. Reality? Probably a bit more sweating and crowded, and maybe some aggressive souvenir hawkers.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Find a local Pho spot. I've heard it's the ultimate Vietnamese experience. Will probably slurp broth all over myself. Pray I don't choke on something.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Exploring more of Da Nang - perhaps a visit to Dragon Bridge, that iconic fire-breathing metal dragon. Let's hope I'm there on a Saturday or Sunday, so I can see the whole thing!
- Evening (5:00 PM onwards): Dinner at a place recommended by the apartment owner hopefully. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll brave the night market. The thought of bargaining in Vietnamese with my limited vocabulary makes my palms sweat. But… lights, food, chaos… sounds like a good time, right?
Day 3: Beach Life and the Existential Crisis of Sunscreen
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Beach day! Poolside lounging. Seriously considering never leaving the pool. Sunscreen application is imperative, like, multiple times. The existential question: "Am I applying enough sunscreen?" The answer: "Probably not."
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Seafood on the beach. Hopefully, not fishy. I'm dreaming of fresh grilled prawns.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): More beach. Swimming (if I can avoid the seaweed). Working on that tan… or, you know, getting a sunburn.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): A massage. 'Cause, you know, I'm on vacation and have earned it.
- Evening (6:00 PM onwards): Pack my suitcase (yeah right). One last dinner. Maybe try a cooking class if I'm feeling ambitious. More likely, I'll just buy more spring rolls and call it a day.
The Day-to-Day Reality:
Look, let's be honest. This itinerary is a suggestion. Realistically, half of it will probably go out the window. I'll probably spend too much time staring at the ocean and not enough time being "cultured." I'll either love every single thing or face plant into complete confusion. It's the way I travel and I can't wait. No matter what I'll be leaving with some good memories!
Good vibes & safe travels

Da Nang's BEST Oceanfront Pool Paradise: 2A Blue Sea Awaits! (Uh, Probably) - FAQs That Actually Get Real
Okay, So, "Oceanfront Paradise"? Is It TRULY beachfront, like, toes-in-the-sand beachfront? 'Cause my last "oceanfront" experience was a sad little balcony overlooking a parking lot.
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. Beachfront? YES! (Thank GOD). But, and this is important, it's not *immediately* toes-in-the-sand-OMG-sandy-heaven. You've got a short, lovely walk from the hotel to the actual, glorious, utterly perfect beach. Think... maybe a minute, tops? Honestly, after the incredible pool, the short stroll feels like a build up, a delightful tease. And the beach? Absolutely worth it. I mean, I spent a solid three hours yesterday just staring at the waves and battling the urge to build a sandcastle taller than myself. (Judge me, I dare you!)
The Pool... Is it as stunning as the photos? Because let's face it, hotel photos are often a blatant lie.
Oh. My. God. The pool. Seriously, the pool. Okay, maybe the photos *do* capture the essence, but they miss the *feeling.* Like, the subtle shimmer of the endless pool edge blending into the ocean horizon? The way the sun warms your skin as you float on your back, contemplating the meaning of life (or, you know, just what to order for lunch)? It's... *intense.* I went in expecting something nice, and came out feeling like a pampered mermaid. Be warned: you might spontaneously start humming cheesy beach songs. Happens to the best of us.
What's the food like? Because I'm a foodie (AKA: I love to eat) and subpar hotel food is the bane of my existence.
Okay, okay, let's talk food. The breakfast buffet? Decent, solid, good coffee. (Crucial.) They have those little Vietnamese pancakes and… oh man, the fresh fruit. The mangoes! *Chef's kiss*. Lunch? Poolside perfection. They do a mean pho (obviously), and their burgers? Surprisingly good! (Who knew?!) Dinner? A bit more upscale. The seafood is what you *should* be going for. Fresh, grilled, and just… *sigh.* Look, it's not Michelin-starred, but it's delicious, plentiful, and the views from the restaurant are breathtaking. My only slight complaint? The waiter was *so* friendly, he almost forgot my beer once. Almost! (Still give him a tip, though, because, come on, everyone makes mistakes, and he made up for it fast.)
Tell Me About the Rooms! Are they clean? Is the AC good? I'm a sweaty sleeper.
Rooms... Right. Okay, they're good. Really good. Spotlessly clean, which is always a HUGE win. The AC? Hallelujah! You can crank that baby UP. Like, Antarctic conditions if you want. No sweaty nightmares here, folks. The beds are comfy (important!), and the views from the balconies? Unbeatable. I'd recommend getting a room with an ocean view – worth every penny. My only tiny, tiny, TINY, slightly annoying issue? The Wi-Fi. Sometimes it goes a bit… wonky. But honestly? Get off your phone! You’re on vacation! Enjoy the sun, the pool, and, you know, *life*.
Are there any kids' activities? Because I'm traveling solo… and am terrified of overly enthusiastic children.
Okay, look. There *are* some kids. They're usually at the kids' club. I saw them. Heard them laughing. But honestly, it's not overwhelming. The pool is big enough that you can usually find a quiet corner. And the beach? Plenty of space for everyone. Plus, watching kids build sandcastles is kinda adorable, even if I'd secretly judge their architecture choices. They keep them occupied! This is a win for everyone. More importantly, no screeching at 6 AM in the hallways.
What's the vibe? Is it a party spot, a romantic getaway, or something in between?
Mixed. Definitely mixed. The pool bar stays open, so there's some evening action – cocktails, music, socializing. But mostly, it's chill. Relaxed. Romantic, even. You see couples doing the whole "holding hands at sunset" thing. (Makes me a little nauseous, but whatever, good for them!) It's the kind of place where you can read a book by the pool all day, or get a massage, or just… *be*. It's sophisticated, but not stuffy. It's a place where you can recharge, reconnect, and forget that you have to go back to work eventually. (Don't worry, I'm still in denial about that last one.)
Okay, hit me with the CONS. Nothing's perfect, right?
Alright, here’s the truth bomb: Nothing is perfect. The Wi-Fi is occasionally a little… frustrating. The prices at the poolside bar are, well, hotel prices, which always stings a little (but who can resist a frozen cocktail on a hot day?). And, there’s ONE tiny, tiny, tiny thing that bugged me. The elevator... It took a few minutes. Seriously. That's about it. Consider yourself warned. Those are the real problems. (I'm reaching, I know.)
Anything else I need to know? Hidden gems? Insider tips? Secret beaches? Spill the tea!
Okay, this is the good stuff. First: Get a massage! The spa is amazing. Worth every penny. Second: Explore the local markets. Da Nang has fantastic street food. (Seriously, go eat the Banh Mi! Your taste buds will thank you.) Third, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, order a coffee from room service. It's… just… don’t. Walk down to the lobby for a decent cup. And finally, just… relax. Seriously. Take a deep breath, put your phone away (mostly), and enjoy the blue sea. It's worth it. It’s absolutely, utterly, completely worth it. I’m already planning my return. Don't tell anyone, I'm trying to keep it a secret! (Oops.)
