We arrived at the hotel before 1300 and the room was not ready. The lady at the counter then offered us a free upgrade and free access to the executive lounge for happy hours. Amazing.
The room is a standard hotel room with a king sized bed. The TV only has 10 local channels and none of them is English channel. The bathroom is a big plus and it comes with all basic items (comb, brush, shaver, etc). It has a shower area and a bathtub area. Quite spacious for this kind of standard hotel room.
We were at 19/F and the view was also great!
Highly recommended!
ผผู้เข้าพักThe hotel is big! It’s located in a pretty bay with private beach and bbq zone with a beach bar. The hotel includes many buildings in a mideteranian style and offer Chinese and western cuisine ( which may be delivered in room, very comfortable). Rooms are very cozy , clean and especially I enjoy good mattress/ pillows and bed sheets. Very high quality things. But you should expect the place is very busy during weekends, it has many photo zones, so, people are everywhere) so, in case you are looking for calm and private stay, you might be better to check other hotels too.
PPoh Yin LianHad a very satisfied stay here. We booked for the family room and we've got to see the whole 岩前村view, actually quite nice at night. The room renovation was really pretty and i like their whole hotel vibe and style. The reception staff was also really nice servicing. Was feeling regret tgta only stay at Zhaoqing for only one night. Will come back to this stay if i ever have the chance.
##friedThe mattress was so hard like wood. Was that a wooden board with beddings laid on top or what?!. I think that's the only downside i can pinpoint exactly.
Areas I thought it could improve in:
-Bidet would've been nice. Everytime I sat down, I felt chills down my spine(:(.
-The location. I liked the building B better, do they access it only to Chinese citizens or what?
-The pool and the hot spring was out of order. It was expected as it's not the season to use them. But-! It was quite hot that day (29ºC to 14ºC) so I asked if they could do us a favor and fill one of the tubs but they said no. :( After all that walking and beach stuff, I needed that relaxing hot spring). Regardless, there are things that I did enjoy. Specifically,:
-The tea set was exquisite. Had that traditional chinese craftsmanship and even the tea packaging felt special(for a freebie)
-Quality of the one-use amenities. The items provided felt like items you get for everyday use rather than hotel provided one-time use bathroom supplies.
-The shower water was HOT. That hot water rundown was exactly what a girly needs.
-The view. The garden downstairs was a sight to see. Especially at night. The wooden railings and the stairs light up beautifully when the sun goes down.
-Service. They were really kind. From the moment we went in till the moment we went back- they were all smiled and tried their best to serve their customers.
-Sitting area in every corner. You'll know when you get there. You can sit in your room or outside. There were at least 10 different seating areas with different amount of chairs and table. Plus, the chairs were comfortable.(some were not tho)
Overall, this place is 8 to 8.5/10
Extra tips I wanted to add:
-DO NOT FORGET TO BUY PLENTY OF ANTI MOSQUITO OIL, SPRAY, BRACELET, WTVR
-DO.NOT.DO.LAUNDRY. Unless it's early in the morning till sun goes down or during hot summers.
-Go to building B for restaurant, cafe or breakfast.
