Escape to Paradise: New Sky Hotel, Da Nang's Hidden Gem!
Escape to Paradise: New Sky Hotel – My Chaotic, Wonderful Da Nang Dive! (And Why You Should Book NOW)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because I just got back from a stint at the Escape to Paradise: New Sky Hotel in Da Nang, and my brain is still buzzing. This wasn't just a hotel stay; it was a whole vibe. And I'm gonna unleash that vibe ON YOU.
First off, let me just breathe that Da Nang air. Seriously. This place… it's got something. And this hotel? Well, it aims to capture it. So, let's get messy and real, shall we?
The Good… and the Gloriously Flawed!
Let's start with the obvious. Accessibility? Okay, so I didn't specifically test the wheelchair access situation – I could move around pretty well on my own two legs, and that was just fine. But! From what I saw (and the listing does say "Facilities for disabled guests"), I'd wager they've put in some serious effort. Elevator? Check. Seems well-maintained and spacious. Public areas, felt airy and open, which is a bonus, so I am willing to bet it's a winner for accessibility. Definitely something to confirm directly with them if accessibility is your main priority. So, I would rate that as a preliminary YES.
Internet – The Lifeblood of Any Modern Traveler:
Alright, so the internet… Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, I mean, bless up. My Room, Room, Room!!! Internet Access- Wireless, Internet Access-LAN and Internet Services. I am connected and that's a win. The Wi-Fi in the rooms? Solid. Like, I could stream movies, work remotely, and mostly avoided the dreaded "buffering" beast. In Wi-Fi in Public Areas it was a bit shaky sometimes, but honestly, I could live with it!! Because the room wifi was so good and I was in such a GREAT room!!
Rooms, Rooms, Rooms - My Happy Place!
Now, about those rooms. Oh. My. Goodness. They have Air Conditioning, Alarm Clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom Phone, Bathtub, Blackout Curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/Tea Maker, Complimentary Tea, Daily Housekeeping, Desk, Extra Long Bed, Free Bottled Water, Hair Dryer, High Floor, In-room Safe Box, Interconnecting Rooms (available), Internet Access – LAN, Internet Access – Wireless, Ironing Facilities, Laptop Workspace, Linens, Mini Bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private Bathroom, Reading Light, Refrigerator, Satellite/Cable Channels, Scale, Seating Area, Separate Shower/Bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke Detector, Socket Near the Bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual Alarm, Wake-up Service, Wi-Fi [free], Window That Opens
I'm not even joking. I might have accidentally spent a solid afternoon just lounging in the bathrobes, staring at the blackout curtains, and sipping complimentary tea while avoiding all responsibilities. The extra-long bed? Glorious. I think I had a slight existential crisis one morning, realizing how much better sleeping could be. It was just…perfect, it had ALLLLLL the things: The hair dryer, in room safe box, interconnecting room, iron facilities, a private bathroom - separate shower; the whole shebang! They even include slippers. Honestly, the fact I could do that from my own personal perch, in the sky (well, high floor), with the window that opens!! I am sold. Sold!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food Coma Central!
Okay, so food. Big category. And the New Sky Hotel? They deliver. First, the basics: Breakfast [buffet], Coffee/Tea in Restaurant, Restaurants, Room Service [24-hour], Snack Bar. Daily Disinfection in common areas so you can feel better about those shared items!
Now, because I am a total glutton for punishment, I dove headfirst into the buffet in restaurant. Standard Asian Breakfast, plus Western options. I'm a simple gal, I need my eggs. But the Asian options? Ooh, the Vietnamese coffee was divine (it’s the little things, people). The a la carte options in the restaurant I unfortunately missed, but I did manage to grab a snack from the snack bar while I relaxed by the pool. All the things!
I ate way too much. I'm talking, nearly passed out from a soup in restaurant and desserts in restaurant overload one evening. But hey, you're on vacation, right? And Happy Hour? Yep, they got that too.
Poolside Paradise - My Own Private Oasis!
Let's talk about the Swimming Pool [outdoor]. Amazing. The Pool with a view? Even better! I spent a good chunk of my trip horizontal, with a cocktail in hand, just soaking up the sun. And the Poolside bar? Well-stocked, obviously. I didn't use the Fitness center or dive into any Spa treatments, but the option was there!
Things To Do – Beyond the Buffet
I was really exhausted from eating, and just the thought of doing more than sitting by the pool was too much!! I'm sure there's way more to do than what I did…
Cleanliness and Safety – Because, You Know, Life
Look, in THIS day and age, cleanliness is KING. My brain literally went into a positive sensory overload, as it's a pretty big deal to me. And the New Sky Hotel? They're ON IT. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily Disinfection in Common Areas, Hand Sanitizer, Individually-Wrapped Food Options, Physical Distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-Grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment… I could go on. I felt safe. I felt clean. I felt the comfort in knowing they were taking it VERY seriously.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
Air Conditioning in Public Area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food Delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes… The Concierge was super helpful with arranging transport. They had everything the well-equipped traveller needs.
For the Kids – Family Fun!
I didn't bring any little ones, but it looks like the New Sky Hotel is family-friendly! They had Babysitting service, Family/Child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal, although I can't speak from personal experience.
Getting Around – Smooth Sailing
Airport Transfer, Car Park [free of charge], Taxi service, Valet parking. Airport transfer? Seamless. They'll pick you up and drop you off, no sweat.
The Quirks – Because Perfection Is Boring!
Okay, honest time. The hotel isn't perfect. There were a few minor hiccups. Occasionally, the internet would hiccup during a Zoom call. One time, the elevator felt a bit… slow. But, those are just details. This is not a stuffy 5-star resort; it's got a personality. It feels like a place where you can truly relax.
My Emotional Verdict – Book It, Already!
Look, I'm a tough critic. But the Escape to Paradise: New Sky Hotel genuinely surprised me. It's a hidden gem in Da Nang, a place where you can unwind, recharge, and actually feel like you're on vacation. It's NOT pretentious, it's friendly and chill.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: The White House Natawee Resort, Songkhla!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to witness the glorious, chaotic, and utterly unpredictable saga of my Da Nang adventure, all orchestrated from the presumed luxury (we'll see about that) of the New Sky Hotel. This isn't your average, perfectly curated itinerary. This is the one you'd find crumpled in a backpack, stained with coffee, and smelling vaguely of fish sauce.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Pho Fiasco
- Morning: The Descent - aka, Surviving the Flight.
- Landed in Da Nang. Humidity hit me like a warm, wet hug. Or maybe it was more like a damp wrestler. Either way, it was…intense. Jet lag hit me like a truck, but let's be honest, I was already running a bit late.
- The airport… well, let’s just say efficiency wasn't their strongest suit. Managed to find my luggage (miracle!), haggled with a taxi driver (lost badly), and finally, finally, arrived at the New Sky Hotel. Initial impressions? Pretty decent lobby, a bit sterile, but hey, AC!
- Emotional Response: Exhaustion. Pure, unadulterated, "I just need to breathe" exhaustion.
- Afternoon: The Pho Quest – A Culinary Tragedy?
- Checked in with a smile, got to a pretty nice room. I was already feeling better.
- Set out, fueled entirely by the promise of authentic pho. Found a place recommended online. Looked promising… until the pho arrived. It was… underwhelming. Broth was bland, the meat was questionable, and I think I saw a rogue coriander stalk trying to escape.
- Quirky Observation: The street vendors selling snacks looked at me with pity. I felt like I had failed at life.
- Rambling Interlude: Maybe my expectations were too high. Maybe I'm a pho snob. Maybe the jet lag was playing tricks on my taste buds. Or maybe the pho just… wasn't good. I'm going with that last one. I actually sat there for a good 10 minutes, debating on whether to ask for another bowl…but I didn't want to embarrass and disrespect the locals by asking to return something that was already made.
- Evening: The Night Market (and My Lack of Bargaining Skills)
- Ventured out to the local night market. Lights, smells, chaos! Love it.
- Tried bargaining for a souvenir. Floundered miserably. Ended up paying twice the price.
- Emotional Response: Mild humiliation, followed by a sudden craving for ice cream.
- Messy Structure: Okay, I went to the night market, got ripped off, ate some ice cream. Oh man, it's the start of the trip. I'm starting to get a bit sick of myself already.
Day 2: Marble Mountain, My Khe Beach and Motorcycle Mayhem
- Morning - Marble Mountain Mayhem:
- I decided to leave the hotel to visit Marble Mountain. Decided to take a taxi…it was expensive, and I still don't understand how to haggle. The mountains themselves were stunning. The caves were majestic and felt spiritual, but the incessant tourist groups shouting made the experience less intimate.
- Quirky Observation: One of the guards had a really strong sense of fashion, and I tried to make eye contact with to signal that he had good taste.
- Afternoon – My Khe Beach Bliss (and Sand in EVERYTHING)
- My Khe Beach. The photos online made it look pristine. The reality? Still lovely, but also crowded. The sand. Oh, the sand. It's in everything.
- Rambling Interlude: I sat on the beach, watching the waves, ate a street snack that seemed good (I don't remember the name), but was pretty tasty. Thought about my life…about how much better my life is with a good view, then immediately changed my mind and wondered if I was getting too old to have fun.
- Evening: Motorcycle Mayhem – A Near-Death Experience (Maybe Not)
- So, I'm an idiot. I decided to rent a scooter. I've never ridden a scooter. Bad idea.
- Emotional Response: Glee, followed by terror, followed by pure, unadulterated panic. I swear, I almost took out a street cart selling… something.
- Doubling Down: This experience, folks, deserves its own paragraph. I’m talking heart-in-my-throat, white-knuckle, “I might actually die” territory. The scooters here are like wild animals, roaring down the street. Me? I was the clueless tourist, weaving my way through the traffic, praying I wouldn’t crash. But, I didn't, and it was exhilarating!
Day 3: Food Tour Dreams and Hoi An Hopes
- Morning: Street Food Odyssey
- Went on a street food tour. It was a game changer. Finally, the food was fantastic! I filled up on Banh Mi, trying different vendors. The guides were amazing and gave the best recommendations. I would eat Banh Mi every day from now on!
- Opinionated Language: The best food in the world!
- Afternoon: Hoi An Bound? (Maybe)
- Planning a day trip to Hoi An. Still deciding on the best way to get there. Thinking of hiring a driver, but I am scared of being stuck with an annoying driver.
- Messier Structure: Ugh. The decision paralysis is real. Do I do it? Should I just stay in Da Nang? Hoi An seems…touristy. But everyone says it's beautiful. And the tailor shops! Do I even need a tailor? Maybe I'll skip it. Or maybe I won't.
- Emotional Reaction: Anxiety. Pure anxiety.
- Evening: Hotel Relaxation
- Poolside lounging.
- Quirky Observation: Found the hotel pool to be quite busy with older people.
- Ordering room service. I'm lazy, and I deserve it.
Day 4: Farewell and the Eternal Question of the Pho
- Morning: One Last Breakfast… with a Twist
- Decided to try the hotel breakfast. Cautiously.
- Messy Structure: The fruits were good. The coffee was strong. The pho… well, let's just say it wasn't as disastrous as the first attempt. A slight improvement. But still, the lingering question of the perfect pho remains a mystery.
- Afternoon: Depart and Reflect
- Checked out of the hotel.
- Departed for the airport.
- Emotional Response: Bittersweet. Sad to leave, but tired of the chaos.
- Evening: The Final Verdict
- Da Nang: I'm glad I came!
This is just a snapshot, of course. There will be more adventures, more stumbles, and probably more instances of me failing spectacularly at something. And that, my friends, is the beauty of it. Each day is a story waiting to be written, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
