5 Star Intercontinental Beach Resort – Brunch At the Citron Restaurant – Danang Vietnam

On Christmas morning we trekked deep into monkey mountain in search of the Intercontinental. Behind the lady buddha and temple you will find a 5-Star Luxury Beach Resort In Danang Vietnam. Set on a private bay on the backside of a mountain it’s one of the most fanciest places in the city. Too bad it was raining 50% of the time but still managed to get some good shots in..

A notre arrivée, la réception nous a accueillis. Ils avaient un petit espace confortable pour attendre que le kart vienne nous chercher et nous conduise au restaurant. Oh wow, moins de 30 secondes et nous y sommes déjà.

We went to a restaurant called Citron with a breathtaking view of the Son Tra Peninsula. They let us sit outside, which is usually double the price, and reservation only, but not too busy these days. When you sit outside you don’t just get a spectacular view of the ocean but also some grand entertainment watching other guests and staff occasionally fight off the monkey thieves. Check this out, it’s quite hilarious.

These beasts will steal your food if you’re not careful but they do seem friendlier than monkeys I’ve met in other parts of the world. They’re just hungry and want fruit. If they get what they’re looking for they will be gone for a while but back for seconds.

The food was amazing. It’s an all you can eat buffet of everything you can think of. So it wasn’t too big of a deal when the monkey stole a whole bowl of fruit from us. We just went back to get some more. The meal comes with coffee and juice. I got a nice little cappuccino.

Il y a tellement de friandises que j'ai eu du mal à ne pas vouloir toutes les essayer. Ce brownie au chocolat et aux noix était mon préféré.

After we finished eating we took a ride down from heaven to… the resort’s underworld. You take this trolley cable car thing down to the lower levels.

Down below there’s a beautiful beach, pool, and some bars and restaurants

Le complexe était vraiment cher. C’est certainement la plus grosse somme d’argent que j’ai jamais dépensée pour un brunch de toute ma vie. C'était une expérience sympa cependant.

Nous y avons rencontré ce sympathique couple. Elle venait de Toronto au Canada et lui de France mais ils vivent à Da Nang. Il travaille comme négociateur hôtelier et coach dans l’industrie hôtelière.

Asked reception on the cost per night to stay here and she told me the cheapest was $350 a night. I was like “the cheapest? Come on, what’s the most expensive? She looked impressed but I was just asking for my video.

$2500 US par nuit pour une villa privée des plus luxueuses avec quelques chambres mais les prix changent en fonction de la période de l'année qu'elle m'a dit.

It’s hard to book a grab out here but they have taxis you can order to get home if you want to have a few drinks. Going down monkey mountain at night, in the rain is dangerous enough on a motorbike so I would suggest this option even if you’re 100% sober.
