⭐️⭐️ Disappointing Stay – Looks Nice, But Lacks Practical Comfort
I spent one night at Koi Resort Da Nang, and unfortunately, it wasn’t a pleasant experience overall. The biggest issue for me was the room lighting — it was far too dim and arranged in an impractical way. For guests who are sensitive to lighting, this setup can be very uncomfortable and even strain the eyes. Proper lighting should be a basic priority in any hotel room.
The room itself was clean and tidy, but the bathtub placement made no sense. While I understand the attempt to make the space feel more luxurious, the tub was awkwardly positioned and the faucet was in a very inconvenient spot, making it hard to use.
We ordered a snack by the pool — fish and chips — and were shocked to find it full of small fish bones. This is a dish often chosen for children, and serving it this way showed a clear lack of thought and care from the kitchen. Later that evening, we ordered two bowls of bún bò Huế, and it was honestly terrible. I couldn't even tell if it was made by a Vietnamese chef — it tasted more like instant noodles from Russia than a proper Vietnamese dish.
On a positive note, the staff at the outdoor pool and on the second floor were friendly and welcoming. They seemed to be better trained than expected for a hotel with such issues.
Overall, the resort looks nice on the surface but fails in practical comfort, food quality, and thoughtful service. It’s a 2-star experience at best.
