Ooen****This hotel is perfect for family trips. It's very close to the beach; you literally step from the pool straight onto the sand. Although the beach is shared, it's very clean and has plenty of sun loungers and rinsing stations for feet and bodies, so there's no queue. For a National Day holiday, there weren't too many people on the beach, and I imagine it's even less crowded on a regular weekend. Around 3 or 4 PM, the hotel's shadow gradually covers the beach, so even those who are sun-sensitive can still enjoy playing in the sand in the afternoon. The waves close to the shore are quite big, not ideal for swimming but great for surfing, and there's a surf club nearby. If you don't want to surf, just floating in a large swim ring near the shore to feel the waves is also a lot of fun.
The street right outside the hotel is lined with various restaurants, a McDonald's, bubble tea shops, and even a fireworks store. There are also convenience stores and pharmacies nearby, making it extremely convenient. The mini-mart inside the hotel is excellent, with a wide variety of items at reasonable prices.
As for the rooms, the Sky Tower is closest to the sea, offering the most spectacular ocean views. You can watch the sunrise in the morning, the moonrise in the afternoon, and enjoy the moon at night. The twin-bed rooms in the Sky Tower are exceptionally well-suited for families, featuring double sinks, a walk-in closet, a spacious desk (large enough for three people to sit around), ample seating, and a large bathtub on the balcony. The fully separate shower room has a changing area designed within it, equipped with plenty of shelving for clothes, and even includes shower slippers. Room amenities are also plentiful, with six bottles of water provided daily, plus a complimentary bathtub liner, steam eye masks, and mosquito repellent patches – very thoughtful.
During our stay over the National Day holiday, it was quite busy, but the lobby offered welcome drinks, which was a nice touch. They also provided a DIY fruit and snack buffet upon check-in, where you could pick your own fruits or snacks, which is much more popular with children than simply being given a pre-selected welcome fruit.
The hotel's pools offer a lot of variety, with plenty of shaded areas provided by greenery, so it doesn't get too sunny. The highlight is the abundance of free inflatable floats and kickboards, which kept us entertained for a long time. My favorite was the infinity pool on the 32nd floor of the Sky Tower, which stays open until 11 PM, allowing you to swim while admiring the moon over the sea. Indoors, there's a cinema, KTV, billiards, archery, and a pretty large kids' play area, so you never have to worry about getting bored.
Furthermore, the hotel's accessibility design is excellent. Whether going to the beach or the outdoor pool on the first floor, there are no stairs; everything is ramped, and slippery areas have anti-slip mats. This is much better than the Le Méridien Xiaojing Bay and shows the hotel's thoughtful consideration for guests.
However, perhaps because it was during the National Day holiday, some staff members seemed to lack sufficient training and spoke rather stiffly. The charging spots in the parking lot were few, and the charging instructions were inadequate. The pendant light next to the bed in the room was too close to the bed, making it easy to bump into (luckily, the light is round and lightweight). Nevertheless, these minor issues don't overshadow the many highlights of the hotel. Overall, I'm very satisfied and have made many wonderful memories here. I will definitely visit again.
