Hyatt Regency vs Furama
Non Nuoc's polished, enormous Hyatt against My Khe's characterful original five-star. Same price tier, very different experiences.
Five pools including a 100-meter beachfront pool, a structured Camp Hyatt kids program, World of Hyatt benefits, and a Non Nuoc position that saves 20 minutes each way on Hoi An day trips. Furama wins on atmosphere and its lagoon pool has more soul, but for most travelers ticking boxes, the Hyatt ticks more of them.

Hyatt Regency
Furama
The Hyatt's 100-metre beachfront pool is one of the longest in Da Nang, genuinely a statement. Furama's lagoon pool is smaller but winds through mature palms and tropical gardens built up since the 1990s, far more photogenic than a standard rectangular pool.
Hyatt Regency
Furama
Hyatt Regency is polished, contemporary, and enormous, 196 rooms plus 37 villas on quieter Non Nuoc beach. Furama trades scale for soul, 198 rooms plus villas on the livelier My Khe strip, carrying its original five-star legacy since the 1990s.

Which one should you actually book?
For most travelers the Hyatt Regency is the more logical choice: better facilities, a structured kids programme, World of Hyatt benefits, and a faster position for Hoi An day trips. If you're ticking boxes, the Hyatt ticks more of them.
But Furama wins on something harder to quantify: soul. The lagoon pool, the mature garden setting, and La Maison 1888 give it a character newer resorts can't replicate. Loyalty members should default to the Hyatt. Everyone else should decide between Non Nuoc quietness and My Khe vibrancy first.
