Definitely different from my experience. Breakfast was very good and well organized. There was a cold room where the fruits, juices, salads, cheese, cold cuts and sushi could be found. All the other stuff (bread, pastries, cereals plus assorted hot food) was part of the main dining area.

I know what you mean about tour groups. Experienced it recently at Four Points Danang and didn’t like the breakfast experience because of it. Thankfully they had a separate dining area for Elites.

Good to hear the sea isn’t always this brutal. I discovered today that if you walk south along the beach, the sand gets much softer and the sea much calmer! There’s lots of bars/restaurants on the beach there, and I found a much younger crowd with tattoos and buff bodies especially in front of the Impiana Resort.

I think I’m talking myself into coming back to burn up my last TP cert next winter!
