Shili Tangquan Seaview Hotel (Aka Town, Beidaihe New District)

The hotel stands off to the side of a much grander, more attractive hotel, which has sea views and is surrounded by family-fiendly play pools, and contains 2 good restaurants and entertainment. Unfortunately as a a foreigner you cannot stay there, and instead are in a simple, clean and basic hotel.building off to one side limited to garden or car park views. However, they are all part of the same complex, so you DO have full access to the amenities, if you do not mind walking through the main hotel. Our stay was MASSIVELY improved by the greeter/ receptionist Miss Sue, who made herself available by Wechat to answer any and all questions, even booking local activities for us. Her amazing support took the hotel from a 3 star to a 4 star - thank you Miss Sue!

Arrived about 20:00 and went to checkin. Everything was fairly smooth. There were 8 of us and just two staff, which is fine, but for processing all the passports would have taken a lifetime. They asked if we could leave our passports and they would take us to our rooms and return the passports later. It was perfect since we were hungry. Went to our rooms which had a loft. Loft had 2 twins and bottom had a queen. Was beautiful! Tubs were gorgeous and beds were comfortable. There's a restaurant connected and we went there for dinner. A bit expensive being used to Beijing prices but it is a resort area. Food was good. We walked down to the beach and played in the water but were shooed off as it was late. Next day we realised and we're told strongly there's no swimming on the beaches. A bit weird, but, ya know. The area has a long ***** of none private beach. Aranya is next door in a sense but very private, needing a ticket or reservation to get in. Don't miss your 24 hour window or you may lose your ticket. There's just other hotels nearby and some picturesque manmade statues and the such, but not a whole lot past that. It is a resort laden beach town. The hotel was great. Breakfast was basic, but overall very satisfied.

Very friendly staff, new and clean rooms, close to the beach, Italian restaurant next door. We will come again.

We came for a festival and stayed in the 2floor room for 4 people. The room, bed and bathrooms were new and clean. Overall a good experience.

Good stay if you like to be close to aranya. Only about 8mins taxi ride. Close to the beach. Theres just not much food around. The staff was very friendly and nice. Rooms are simple, new and clean.

It's been a while since my stay but we have no real complaints. They accept foreigners. There are staff are helpful. The pool was empty at the time we went but it looks like its a great pool area when it's filled. It's very close to the beach!
