TL;DR
Hotel beaches in Da Nang are quiet with few crowds and minimal waves. Sun loungers are limited. Some hotels have poor beach access — walking to a neighboring stretch is often better.
One traveler staying near My Khe beach (city center) said the area is unremarkable with lots of construction and abandoned sites nearby, but beach sun loungers there are about half the usual price — around 40,000 VND.
The sea is generally decent, and sometimes there are fun waves to play in (one day they were almost perfect), though it's a bit scary going in deep with small kids then. However, good waves are rare — most of the time the sea is calm and unremarkable, and the water near shore is shallow at many beaches.
Da Nang was noted to have little traffic, nice pedestrian areas with benches, and the city itself seems cleaner overall — but after weekend beach gatherings, cleanup of the beach takes longer than usual.
At one hotel/apartment beach in Da Nang, the sea was described as warm and the beach had very few people.
Da Nang has beaches sheltered from waves; the discussion also noted that the beaches are generally better maintained.
One hotel had poor direct beach access — guests had to walk to the adjacent beach where a promenade is under construction. Rooms were spacious and the hotel was not crowded overall.
Locals rarely go to the beach during midday — they typically arrive around 4 PM and only in certain spots. Before that, the beach is nearly empty.
The hotel beach was pleasant and uncrowded. Sun loungers were scarce but so were guests. Over three weeks, waves were minimal. Noticeably calmer than public beaches in Da Nang.
