"Since I arrived late in the evening, I only stayed for one night. The beach and ocean are right across the street, but my room didn't offer a sea view. At over 400 RMB a night, it really felt more like a basic Chinese guesthouse. It was reasonably clean, and the facilities were quite ordinary, which I could tolerate.
However, after I came back from dinner, the power went out within five minutes. Since it was a walk-up building (no elevator), going downstairs to find staff was exhausting. They had just arrived when the power cut out again after only a few minutes. This cycle of power outages happened multiple times throughout the night. Eventually, we were left without power, it was sweltering hot, and I was constantly bitten by mosquitoes. I was already exhausted, and this was truly the last thing I needed.
With no electricity, I couldn't even take any photos of the room. I absolutely do not recommend staying here.
After getting home, I complained to the booking platform and demanded a 50% refund. They initially offered 100 RMB, which I didn't accept. Eventually, they agreed to refund 200 RMB, and that's how it was resolved.
Honestly, this was the worst hotel experience of my life. Being hot and constantly bitten by mosquitoes in the middle of summer was just unbearable."
