After going to Putuo Mountain to burn incense, I chose to stay in Zhujiajian for two days. I booked a hotel online and it actually took more than an hour to drive from the Centipede Temple Pier to the hotel. There were so many people and cars that it was hard to describe.
Greentown Dongsha Resort Hotel and Zhujiajian Greentown Resort are different places. I didn’t look carefully when booking. In the end, I booked a serviced apartment (Pinxia Garden) in the middle of the mountain. Let’s talk about the experience of staying.
1. The online display is not clear. Reviewers mistakenly confuse a hotel near the seaside with a serviced apartment located in the middle of the mountain, so bookings are affected.
2. Judging from the appearance of the buildings, they should have been developed by Greentown Group in the first place, and then different operators were responsible for the management. It is obvious that the management of the Westin and Dongsha Greentown Hotel is more formal, while the management of the B&B and serviced apartments across the road is average. When making the reservation, I specifically called to request a family room on the 4th floor. However, when I checked in, I was told that the room was no longer available. The reason was that the original guest had extended their stay, so I could only be given a room on the 2nd floor. I was speechless😅
3. The reception capacity of the serviced apartment is limited, and the front desk for on-site check-in did not provide guidance. It took me a long time to find out that it was in Building 3. In addition, parking on the street depends on your luck. I didn't see the management staff responsible for guiding, so the parking was a bit confusing. I seemed to see 5 tram spaces between Building 1 and Building 2. There was an underground parking lot, but I didn't park there. , so I won’t comment yet.
4. I live in Building 2. I see that the sea view in front of Building 1 is blocked by the Westin Hotel in the distance. The view should not be as good as Buildings 2 and 3. The odd-numbered room in Building 2 is a sea view room. Judging from the room layout, the small room number should be facing the coast (see photo). The scenery is still good for sunrise and moon viewing. The height of the floor is actually not so important at this time. Because the house is built in the middle of a hill, the visual height is almost the same as the high-rise building in the Westin across the street, so the original resentment has been relieved a lot.
5. The hotel does not provide meals. I guess the service capabilities cannot keep up, so I took my children to the Westin to eat at the buffet. Of course, I also ordered takeout. It is said that there is a street of seafood restaurants nearby, but I didn't try it.
6. It takes about 10 minutes to go to the beach from the hotel. I walked through the Westin, and then paid to enter the park through the entrance behind the Greentown Dongsha Hotel. At the Westin, hotel guests can come and go at will by swiping their ID cards, and foreigners can buy one-time entry and exit tickets. You can also buy unlimited tickets for three days at the gate behind the Greentown Dongsha Hotel. The adult ticket is 50 yuan, which is not bad. Everyone has different needs for beach fun, so I won’t go into details here.
To sum up, as far as the rooms are concerned, the rooms have standard hotel-style apartment configurations, the decoration style is uniform, and the hardware is okay. In terms of service, I personally feel that it is only by domestic Samsung standards, and the software package cannot keep up. If I come to Dongsha next time, I would rather book a five-star hotel like the Westin or Silk Road, at least the service is worthy of the price.
Excellent
