"I genuinely feel this is one of the best hotels, if not the best, in the Beidaihe area.
**Resort Layout:**
It's a self-contained resort located south of Aranya, boasting a private beach. What's more, it features its own picturesque lake and mountain scenery within the resort, along with a complete 'town' area offering various amenities.
The lake views are absolutely stunning, on par with the sea views, which are just a short walk away.
The resort includes an InterContinental Indigo Hotel, offering a variety of rooms and private hot spring suites (akin to stacked villas). There's also the more budget-friendly Rushi Apartments. Apparently, a new high-end hotel is under construction and should be ready for occupancy by summer. Additionally, the resort is equipped with various restaurants and entertainment venues. While not as extensive as Aranya, its main advantage is fewer crowds. For shorter stays, it's perfectly sufficient.
**Transportation:**
Driving to the resort requires parking in one of the main parking areas: near the hotel lobby, Rushi Restaurant/private hot spring suites, or the town's dining area (closer to the beach).
Notably, the resort has ample parking spaces and charging stations, including both fast and slow chargers. This is incredibly convenient and distributed across different parking zones to meet the needs of guests in various areas, making it extremely friendly for electric vehicle users traveling from Beijing.
Furthermore, there are electric shuttle carts that run every ten minutes, very punctually and conveniently, and both people and dogs are welcome aboard. The resort also offers rentals for bicycles, parent-child bikes, pet bikes, and even electric bikes, catering to everyone from kids to seniors, including pets.
**Amenities & Services:**
The hotel offers excellent spa, yoga, and sound bath healing services/classes. The spa rooms are very spacious, with meticulous facilities. All toiletries are from POLA (Japan), and sound bath therapy is fully equipped. The yoga and dedicated sound bath healing classes have a wonderful environment, and the instructors are excellent. These are definite highlights of the hotel.
There are also kayaking and various other water sports available. During the Qingming Festival, it wasn't quite warm enough, so more indoor activities and kayaking were observed.
**Room Facilities:**
The hotel facilities are very new, and the design in all areas is well thought out. The lake-view private hot spring rooms are fantastic; they're small suites with beautiful views outside the window, and you can also soak in a bath within the room. The ground floor has a small courtyard, and the second floor has a small balcony.
**Hotel Service:**
The hotel service is excellent and very professional. Staff actively inquire about guests' stay experience and various needs, almost always accommodating requests.
**Pros:**
The biggest impression is the tranquility. Compared to the bustling crowds of Aranya, it's a much more pleasant experience. You can genuinely stroll around the scenic area quietly with your kids and dogs, watching the sunrise and sunset, and gazing at the starry sky (the hotel provides detailed information on sunrise/sunset times and locations, and both the lake and sea are perfect for stargazing).
**Areas for Improvement:**
The breakfast is quite ordinary, and the number of good restaurants within the resort is limited. There's room to improve the variety and quality of breakfast, and perhaps attract more high-quality restaurants.
In summary, it's a worthwhile and honest hotel that I'd happily revisit."
