"I rarely write reviews, but my first visit to the Shandong coast left a great impression, mainly because of the sea view private hot spring and pool. The hotel as a whole is top-notch, with excellent decor and aesthetics. The front desk lady was incredibly warm and gentle, and a gentleman helped with my luggage and thoughtfully adjusted the room temperature in advance. All the other staff were also very enthusiastic and professional, showing that their internal training is very thorough. The room view is unbeatable, and the private hot spring is huge, more than enough for two people. Opening the door to the sea and falling asleep to the sound of waves at night was pure bliss. The toiletries are a full set of Bulgari, there's a Dyson hairdryer, and a smart toilet. The minibar drinks and all kinds of cups are fully stocked. The environment is first-class, and the sliding door separating the wash area from the bed provides excellent sound isolation. I want to especially praise the pool. At this time of year, very few other hotels, especially those with outdoor pools, have theirs open, but this hotel's pool is already open. I went for a swim in the afternoon when it was warm. I heard there are only about twenty rooms, so the guest experience is excellent with fewer people. I was lucky enough to have the pool all to myself, which you wouldn't experience at a regular five-star hotel. The mackerel dumplings for breakfast were very fresh and delicious, and the breakfast also had fruit, which was a huge plus. As a watermelon lover, I was very satisfied. There are shared e-scooters at the hotel entrance, which is very convenient for those without a car. It's easy to get to Xianghai, Jiming Island, and the shipwreck, and taxis are readily available. There's also a nearby restaurant that serves delicious sea cucumber with rice.
Areas for improvement: Because the private hot spring is so large, the disposable bathtub liner provided was a bit small and couldn't cover the walls of the hot spring once filled with water. I hope they can change their selection in the future, though I imagine there are few liners on the market that fit such a large hot spring. I also hope they can improve the placement of the pendant lamp on the left side of the bed in the 270 sunset view room.
I wish them prosperous business and hope to stay again next year."
