In fact, these are apartments in a closed area of 5-story 2-3 entrance houses. The area is 20-30 minutes away from the sea on foot. There is no sidewalk along the highway, you need to walk along the grass to the next area - that's where the path begins. By taxi 10-15 yuan to the beach. Or bus 349 for 2 yuan. 15 minutes up the road there is a bus station with buses to Dodonghai and the train station.
There is no hotel counter as such. Upon arrival, we called the taxi driver by phone. Somehow I did not take into account that it was necessary to contact in advance.
On the first day, the owner drove around the area, showed everything, where to eat by the sea, where the mountain park is, where to eat in the village at the entrance to the park, where the shops are.
Also, the owner always helped with questions via WeChat and told how to get where. He walked us to the taxi.
The area itself is amazing. Tropical forest and bush. The paths are swept, the area is generally well-kept. In the center there is a swimming pool with a children's section and three sun loungers. One section of the pool is dry. Since the Chinese in this area are not particularly fond of water procedures, the pool was entirely ours. Right there in the Central building there is a shop with fruits, vegetables and instant noodles. In the morning they cook noodles right there.
Now the room. The entrance is moderately uncleaned. For some reason there is an old mattress outside the door. Inside the room is spacious. A large living room combined with a kitchen, a large balcony with blooming palm trees, a small bedroom with a large bed. The bed linen is good, clean. There is a washing machine, a frying pan, a saucepan, plates, a refrigerator. Washing powder, shower gel and detergent were there.
But the repair and furniture, plumbing are old, with traces of history. Under the bed and nightstands have not been washed. The shower stall also has a touch of history. Great huge bathtub, but with dangling plumbing. Apparently we had to do the cleaning ourselves. Mop available. Somewhere there were non-working lamps, streaks and peeling paint on the ceiling, dirty windows, tiles broken in places.
Toilet paper was brought. The soap ran out - we bought it ourselves.
Dear owner, please do not be offended by an honest review. It's not that someone is used to five-star hotels. The right expectations of guests form the right impression of the stay. I have no doubt that the room was worth the money. But guests should understand what to expect. A general cleaning would be very welcome.
