Beach Hotels in Shandong, China

We arrived at the apartment quite late, around 1am, feeling exhausted. Unfortunately, we were greeted by a staff member with a rather rude attitude, which left us with a poor first impression. The apartment is spacious and can comfortably accommodate five of us. However, it is visibly aged, with noticeable wear and tear in several areas. The sea view from the window is pleasant, although it is not a full 180-degree view as it is partially blocked by another tower. Cutlery was not provided in the unit and had to be requested from the front desk, which was a bit inconvenient. Nevertheless, the service is generally good. A robot delivers meal orders directly to the unit, and parcels can also be received at the lobby, although guests need to collect them personally. On two occasions when I had to leave early and was unable to attend breakfast, I requested a takeaway option, and they kindly prepared boiled eggs and fruits, which was much appreciated. The location is strategic and within walking distance to May Fourth Station, MIXC Mall, and May Fourth Square. Overall, it was a good stay despite a few shortcomings.

Jiaodong Airport is really far. My flight landed at 9:30 PM, and I didn't get to the hotel until 11:30 PM. When I arrived, I met Ariane (Ms. Wang). I had originally booked a small sea-view suite, but after discussing it, she upgraded me to a 270-degree sea-view room. It turned out to be a great decision; the view from the room was fantastic, and I could enjoy the ocean right from my bed. After checking in, I added Ms. Wang on WeChat. She was incredibly responsive for room cleaning and bringing requested items, which was very convenient. The breakfast was good with a wide variety of dishes, but it was too crowded. The next day, I decisively opted for the Executive Lounge on the 30th floor. Although there were fewer options, the experience was much better, and the views were great too. The scent in the lobby was pleasant, but a bit too strong; I'd suggest making it a little lighter. I'll definitely choose the Hyatt Regency Qingdao again on my next visit.

Facilities: The hotel is quite new, which is great. It looks like there's even a cooking area and a mini-fridge inside. Cleanliness: Very good, they even provided disposable towels and disposable corn fiber towels, which was a nice touch. Environment: Excellent. The staff upgraded our room type from a partial sea view to a full sea view. It was indeed very good on the fifth floor, but since we were out early and back late, we didn't get to properly enjoy the sea or see the sunrise and sunset. Service: Very good, the staff member was quite polite. However, I hope that for consecutive stays, they would automatically replenish water, toothpaste, and other daily necessities. On the first day, if we didn't ask, they wouldn't replenish them automatically.

I stumbled upon this hotel with a floor-to-ceiling sea-view window room online and immediately fell in love with it. So, I took advantage of the three-day Qingming Festival holiday to visit Weihai. I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, and the actual experience was fantastic! From the hotel's **exterior**, it felt like an older four-star, but once I entered the lobby, the overall impression was very neat, clean, and bright. You could tell that the hotel put effort into maintaining its facilities. The staff were also very enthusiastic, even calling a day in advance to confirm my itinerary and preferences. The **service** was excellent. Since I arrived quite late on the first night, after 10:00 PM in Weihai, I booked a **standard king room** for the first night. It offered a street view, not the sea. The room was quiet and very clean, perfect for a good night's rest. On the second day, around 9:00 AM, we moved to the sea-view room I had been looking forward to. I booked the **Deluxe Sea View Terrace King Room**. The room was still very clean and quiet. The interior decoration was on par with a five-star hotel (though the walls were a bit patchy and could use a repaint). Upon entering, there was a bathtub, and then the super large floor-to-ceiling window and terrace came into view. In front of the window, there was a soft sofa, which was incredibly comfortable and relaxing for drinking tea or coffee – it just made me so happy. The view from the terrace was also stunning; the sea was very clear on sunny days. In the evening, you could watch the sunset from the room. What could be more romantic than that? The **breakfast** restaurant was a sea-view restaurant with a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, there was a trestle bridge, the sea, and seagulls – the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The breakfast selection wasn't super extensive, but it covered most Chinese breakfast essentials, and the taste was good. For a four-star hotel, it was really impressive. The **location** is in Huancui District, not far from attractions like Torch 8th Street. There are also many good restaurants nearby. Downstairs are Jinshatan Beach and the Jinhaiwan Trestle Bridge, where many seagulls hover. The hotel has an elevator that goes directly to the beach, and guests are given an exclusive wristband. For families with children who want to play in the water during summer, it's very convenient – you can go straight back to your room via the elevator to wash up after playing. Overall, the accommodation experience was excellent! Full marks, highly recommended!

Service: From the hotel staff to the restaurant waitresses, everyone was lovely and very enthusiastic. Location: It's in a prime spot on Torch 8th Street, very convenient. You can directly access Torch 8th Street from the hotel's second and third floors by elevator, so no need to climb hills, and it's great for photos. Room: We booked a sea-facing room, but trees were blocking the view, so we could barely see the ocean directly, which was a bit disappointing. You definitely need to stay on a higher floor here! And those rooms are even cheaper than ours! Cleanliness: It was just before peak season, so it was getting a bit crowded, and the cleaning wasn't as thorough. There were wrappers from kids' snacks near the sofa and some unidentified hair on the bed. If you like lively places, this is good, but if you prefer quiet, I'd suggest the Golden Sands area; it's less crowded and the hotels there are better. This place feels more like a guesthouse than a proper hotel. Overall, the value for money isn't great, so I wouldn't highly recommend it.

The hotel is right next to the bus station and very close to the train station. There are supermarkets, restaurants, and fruit stores nearby, and it's also close to RT-Mart. Public transportation to all the attractions is very convenient. The hotel service is excellent; they are very responsive and promptly meet our needs. What's even more thoughtful is the extended check-out time, which saved us from having to wander around. Highly recommended!

The location is excellent, right above Binjiang Plaza. We stayed on the 62nd floor, and the view was absolutely stunning; we could even watch the sunrise from our room – it was truly beautiful. It's very convenient to get to Yantai Mountain, Chaoyang Street, and Hongkou Road, all within walking distance. Even though we were on the 62nd floor, the elevators are divided into high and low zones, making it very efficient. The only issue was parking; it cost 30 yuan per day, and since we stayed for four days, the parking fee was 120 yuan, which felt a bit high. The room was spacious, perfect for traveling with parents and children, especially with two bathrooms, which allowed for privacy – very convenient. We could also cook. All the in-room amenities were complimentary, and they provided over ten bottles of mineral water, plus half a pack of disposable bath towels, also free to use. We could contact them via WeChat if we needed anything, and they would prepare and deliver it promptly. The service was top-notch. Overall, it's definitely worth recommending.

A warm homestay, the stay experience is super good, I live in a sea view room, and the sea view is the first! Even if you don’t go out and sit by the window and watch the sea, it is a kind of enjoyment. The hotel also has an open-air observation deck. The best place to watch the fireworks show at night is the sea. It is very convenient to go downstairs for shopping and eating. The boss is also super enthusiastic. Provide us with super practical play guides, Longkou is very good, come back next time!

I originally came for a marathon, but I didn't expect the place I booked to be so good and suitable for leisure, and also very close to the running start point. Service: Excellent. I've stayed in many places, but the owner here truly runs their own business with great dedication. I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness in every word of their service. When I needed to prepare formula for my child, they even provided extra water, which we left in the room. Regardless of the cost, they certainly weren't stingy. Some hotels are so stingy they won't even do that, and people like us who dislike bothering others wouldn't even dare to ask. Environment: Very good, very close to the beach. The only thing was that upstairs sounded like they were moving things around very noisily late at night. This isn't the owner's fault; it's a matter of guest etiquette. Hygiene: Very clean. It would be even better if the cleaning cloths were sorted more meticulously. Facilities: Very suitable. More than sufficient for daily travel accommodation. Value for money is good. I will choose this place again if I come back.

The layout of the room is more comfortable, the decoration style is very like, the details are a bit poor Facing Dongchang Lake, it is more pleasant to bask in the sun and watch the lake; The sanitary conditions are good, the facilities are relatively complete, and the owner is also enthusiastic Love the breakfast form.
