The Shilla Hotels in Dien Ban

Stayed 7 nights on a package deal. Apparently opened not long before covid and reopened a year ago. Modern luxury place right on beach. Consists of modern reasonable size hotel type rooms plus separate villas of various sizes. Spacious high end foyer area welcomes you as does helpful efficient staff. Beautiful well designed and maintained garden areas. Long pool area consisting of 4 separate pools including a couple for toddlers and small children lead down to beach front. Nice grassy shaded beach area set up right on beach which is patrolled by resort lifeguards. Restaurant has excellent food and service and there is a separate bistro next to pool with a reduced menu. Package deals including meals have a set menu with reduced offerings that does get a bit repetitive after 7 days. Strangely they combine the vegetarian and gluten free menu, so all gluten free offerings are vegetarian however the kitchen will amend other dishes to gluten free dishes if possible. The place is comparatively pricey for Vietnam. The hotel is almost in the middle between Danang & Hoian town centres, about 200k dong each way to both by grab (local uber) or 300k by taxi, which leads to my only issue with this place. They offer 3 daily shuttles to Danang,( return 115k dong) but if it's busy they don't run the shuttle and won't run if only one booking, so you can't rely on it. The clothes storage in the rooms for an extended stay is also a bit awkward. Overall very pleasant stay in a high end place with well trained efficient and friendly staff Shoutout to Hoa and Ninh in the restaurant who should be managers there by the time we hopefully can return.
