“Très bon hôtel”

Nous y avons séjourné en 2015 octobre et c'était assez bon. C'est dans le centre de la ville, sur la colline, donc c'est un séjour paisible. Il y a une navette qui vous conduira à la plage où ils ont leurs propres chaises qui sont uniquement disponibles pour les clients. Toutes les chaises appartie… Plus

Nous y avons séjourné en 2015 octobre et c'était assez bon. C'est dans le centre de la ville, sur la colline, donc c'est un séjour paisible. Il y a une navette qui vous conduira à la plage où ils ont leurs propres chaises qui sont uniquement disponibles pour les clients. Toutes les chaises appartiennent à l'hôtel et ils ont des gardiens pour s'assurer que vous êtes un client afin de s'asseoir. Le petit déjeuner est standard, pas super. trucs habituels. L'hôtel est un peu vieillot. Gym est horrible, ils ont un couple de machine et le tapis est pas opérationnel. la piscine est petite mais pas trop mal. Le service est bon, il n'y a rien à redire.

“Merveilleux hôtel, très lent personnel de réception”

Cet hôtel est merveilleux. Les chambres, les piscines, les restaurants sont très agréables, et l'emplacement est parfait. Le personnel est sympathique et serviable, mais l'arrivée et le départ sont tellement lent que vous voulez sauter par une fenêtre. Il nous a fallu 30 minutes pour l'enregistreme… Plus

Cet hôtel est merveilleux. Les chambres, les piscines, les restaurants sont très agréables, et l'emplacement est parfait. Le personnel est sympathique et serviable, mais l'arrivée et le départ sont tellement lent que vous voulez sauter par une fenêtre. Il nous a fallu 30 minutes pour l'enregistrement. C'est mal, même selon les normes de la Chine. Mais le reste du séjour faite pour ça.

We stayed here for three nights at the start of April. The hotel is uniquely positioned at the top of small hill, whilst this may sound like a negative as the beach is either a 15 minute walk or 5 minute shuttle ride, in reality it ensures the hotel is refreshed by cooling breezes and above the noises and smells of the street. The rooms are clean and well designed, if not a bit basic. However all the standard mod-cons of 21st Century hotels are present (power shower, dressing gowns, safe, clean bedding etc.). The two pools are a nice size and remain quiet, however the spa (eternal spring) is really a jacuzzi/hot tub. The private beach, is located in the centre of DaDong Hai beach, which means the beach is not private, but the loungers are comfortable and at worst it is a good spot for people watching. The breakfast is probably the weakest aspect of the hotel, but is still serviceable. The staff, always try to help even if the language barrier may prevent perfect communication. They are more then willing to write a place name in mandarin off a computer screen and try to wade through the bureaucracy as quick as possible. Issue/Comments On arrival we were given an awful room, however after requesting a change, they quickly arranged for a much better room, which I consider a plus. The shuttle to and from the beach is infrequent and is always '15 minutes away', this is especially frustrating on the beach side. It would be advantageous if there was a schedule that hotel guests could use. Not all rooms have internet connection. Hotel staff were reluctant to exchange money on the day before departure (not sure if this is a China policy or hotel policy) Do not rely on reception to book a taxi on your behalf, it is much more efficient to get the lifts to roadside and hail one yourself.

“Not for the monolingual”

This is a strange hotel. Overall, it was okay. Safe, nice pools, busy and popular. The buildings and lobby were clean and attractive. It was set back from the road, and quite peaceful, given how close it really is to the traffic. However, there were many small problems that added up to big inconve… Plus

This is a strange hotel. Overall, it was okay. Safe, nice pools, busy and popular. The buildings and lobby were clean and attractive. It was set back from the road, and quite peaceful, given how close it really is to the traffic. However, there were many small problems that added up to big inconveniences: 1) The room itself just wasn't clean. There was an awful damp, musty smell. There was a sticky patch on the night stand, and oily food remnants on the desk. 2) The guest services book in the room was in Chinese only. The room service menu was bilingual, but the people who answered the phone weren't, so room service was VERY hard to get. 3) When my room service food did arrive, it came without any chopsticks, spoon or utensils at all. Phoning for these was futile. Eventually a staff member arrived with them, but by then I'd eaten everything with my fingers. 4) There were two bottles of wine in the room minibar that I might actually have consumed and paid for, only there was no cork screw. 5) I needed a power socket adaptor. Phoning the service number was hopeless (no English), so I went to reception with my power cable and *showed* them what I wanted. Ah yes, they said, no problem, go back to your room. I did. It never arrived. 6) There are several hotel bars/restaurants listed on your cardboard key folder, complete with locations, but no map is provided, so it's really hard to find any of the outlets. 7) The buffet breakfast is like a side of beef tossed into a shark tank - hordes of people crowding around a few hot dishes. Also there's a bakery section with bread and butter, but no knives anywhere. Ever tried spreading butter with a chopstick? The primary issue is the lack of English skills. If you don't speak Mandarin, you're better off staying somewhere else. That said, these are all SMALL gripes. The bedroom was safe, secure and the bed was extremely comfortable. The Internet worked well (cable only in the room, though; wifi is free in the lobby). The evening meal in the Hillside Cafe was very nice, and I found a young waitress with some English skills who was helpful, polite and charmingly giggly. Others have reported problems with check-in/check-out, but I had none. It was all very smooth (hint: pay deposit in cash, not credit card - much quicker). For the price, this was fine. I don't think I'd go there again, but don't regret visiting.
