The hotel is very comfortable and the staff excellent; they can speak English without problem and they are very kindly. The facilities perfect, the swimming pool clean and well heated, the baby/children space well done. The breakfast very good both Chinese and international. We really like our trip on this hotel.

The position is not so closed to the beach; and during the breakfast we saw some people in line to wait because of no enough space inside. But everything solved in few minutes.

Breakfadt had great choice. Hotel far from Qingdao but definately worth travelling and staying in Huangdao, beautiful area although very quiet for some.

Breakfast was great. Beds were amazing.

Location described was misleading. It was not beach front as stated. It was water front, but no beach.

The staff was very nice and helpful.

cleanness, housekeeping, location

Everything is good except for the location is out of city area

Location too far and not convenient to travel by subways need to hail GrabCar or taxi whenever to the nearest subways

The environment surround the hotel was nice and peaceful. It was quiet with just the right amount of entertainment noise at the surround beer bars in the area. The food service staff was amazing and the food selections both breakfast and dinner was absolutely amazing.

Upon check-in the receptionist was not professional by not knowing our reservation and the package that came with our reservation. The room was not properly cleaned and there were many items that was not at the right place. As VIP customers, we had to asked why there were no special welcome package upon our arrival (i.e. fruits, toy for our child). We were asked if we would like an upgrade of our current room and it was noted that the upgrade room is more modern with a better view. We took the upgrade just to discover the exact same room facing the beer bar street so we experienced more noise during the late evenings. We were moved to a floor with more kids which affected our sleep and morning routines. We had a problem with our balcony lights and we had asked the facility if they can replace the lightbulb, but it was not taken care of. The location was not convenient from regular traffic, so getting a taxi was not so easy. The staff was not helpful when we were trying to get to the train station to return back to our hometown. My wife accidentally left a scarf in the room and no one from the hotel informed us about it until we decided to call and inquire about it. There was a good 10 hours before we called the hotel and they quickly informed us that they found it, but they did not notify us right away.

This is a gorgeous property with a very awe inspiring aesthetic and extremely helpful and friendly staff. The door man had the best smile and greetings! The desk attendants made every effort to understand my horrible Mandarin. The property is beautiful and my room has spectacular views of the water. The bike path along the water is very pleasant and renting a pedal car is a fun way to see the area. Breakfast is terrific. A wide variety of choices. I would appreciate more beverage options. The juices are great but not for my blood sugar. Unsweetened iced tea or diet cola would have made this perfect for me, but I'm not typical. I had procrastinated reserving this room and wasn't able to secore a King bed. The listing was a bit ambiguously worded, so I wasn't sure if we would get 1 or 2 beds. We did end up with 2, but my wife and I pushed them together and that was fine. And the housekeeping staff obliged our wishes and made the beds up as one the best they could. The balcony is a real treat and the room overall is very pleasant and stunningly decorated. The lobby of this hotel is impressively luxurious. The grounds are a nice place to walk or sit and enjoy the perfect ocean breeze.

The air conditioning did t work. The thermostat didn't even turn on. It was blank. Luckily, we were not often in the room during the daytime and the breeze from the balcony kept the room comfortable. The mini fridge, which I use to store my medication, was not very cold and had no freezer for my ice packs. The pool was amazing looking, but I mistakenly thought the small pool next to it was a hot tub. It seemed to be just a small pool for children. The pool is not really for leisure and lounging. If you want to vigorously swim laps, it's fine. But I just like sitting in the water and enjoying the view with a beverage, which didn't seem to be an option. The process of going to the pool with wrist band for the lockers, head cap requirement, and the automatic rinse is a bit tedious. I prefer a casual pool environment with a hot tub and drinks served / allowed. The hotel also has several ways to get food or a snack, but they're not in sync and none of them usually has everything I wanted from one of the sources. The breakfast area has a fridge with carbonated drinks and beer, but buying a coke from them seemed to cause a bit of confusion. The self serve store didn't have coke zero and the drinks were not cold. Their process is also confusing. The bar was the main place I found to be extra accommodating, letting me order a dessert and cola with ice to take back to my room. Room service requests from the phone confused staff and they had to have someone call me back, maybe to find someone that spoke English. That's fine, but by the time they called, we had decided to go downstairs to the restaurant. I like the location for the view and the atmosphere. But visiting anything outside of the hotel requires a really long walk or taxi. The nearest non hotel restaurants or shops seem to be about a 10 minute walk along the bike path toward the bridge.
