"This time, I stayed in Building 8's full ocean view king room. The moment I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the large balcony – it's incredibly close to the sea! Not only is the view first-class, but at night, if you close the balcony door, the soundproofing is really good, not affecting sleep at all.
The public areas are beautiful. Every time I go to the lobby, I see many people taking photos on the large front terrace! The green lawn and pool areas are maintained daily, and you can really see the effort put in.
**Stay:** Check-in was fast. The room was clean and felt new. Both the hard furnishings and soft decorations don't look like an old hotel that has been open for many years; you can tell a lot of effort has gone into maintenance! Housekeeping was very prompt; any requests were answered quickly without waiting.
**Food:** The breakfast offerings are similar to hotels of the same caliber, but you can tell the ingredients are of higher quality (80% of the dishes were freshly made, not pre-packaged). I didn't initially plan to have dinner at the hotel, but I happened to catch the beach buffet on a less windy evening and decided to try it. Both the entertainment and food were excellent, and the entertainment changed constantly, which was a pleasant surprise.
**Play:** The pool is the best I've experienced so far. It's well-sectioned so both adults and children can have fun, and the water temperature is comfortable. There are always lifeguards by the pool and the sea, so even with kids, you can relax and enjoy the pool, beach, and ocean. The beach is cleaned daily, and there are free warm towels for swimming in the sea. The sand is very fine, the shells are quite intact, and the rinse-off area is well-designed and not crowded.
**Suggestions: (More details)**
1. The TV doesn't support screen mirroring, and I couldn't find a way to connect to the balcony ceiling speakers (or the guidance wasn't clear enough for me to find it). This feels a bit outdated.
2. The toiletries (non-bath and body products) are quite low-quality, similar to what you'd find in a budget hotel.
3. The room lighting lacks a master switch. It would be an improvement if the balcony light and sleeping area lights could be turned off with one switch by the bed.
4. Due to the hotel's multi-building layout, rooms near the sea often require walking through long corridors, and the elevators are somewhat complicated. It takes a while to get to the front desk and restaurant. Some areas of the hotel are very mysterious, but it's indeed easy to get lost inside the buildings.
Overall, the public areas are beautiful."
