Beach Hotels in Beihai

"I stayed in a 10th-floor seaview room, and the view was decent. It's very close to the beach, just a seven or eight-minute walk to Silver Beach. It's quite beautiful on a good day. The hotel was built in 2022, but the maintenance isn't great. It doesn't feel as well-kept as the seaview hotels in Sanya; it already feels a bit old inside. The hygiene was good, and the cleaning was well done. However, the cleaning staff started knocking on the door around 10:30 AM to ask if they could clean, which was a bit disruptive. The soundproofing is pretty bad; you can hear everything from the hallway very clearly. It gets a bit noisy in the morning, but evenings are generally quiet. The food options near the hotel are mediocre; you have to go to Qiaogang for more lively dining. I didn't have breakfast. The complimentary 'laoyou fen' (noodle soup) from the Crowne Plaza across the street was also just so-so. The pre-sale package price was acceptable, but anything more expensive wouldn't be worth it."

"First, the advantages: Firstly, the hotel has a great location, with a bus stop right outside and a five-minute walk to Silver Beach. Secondly, the front desk staff were warm and patient, especially the young man surnamed Pang, who escorted me to my room after check-in. He also provided a lot of assistance, such as travel tips, transportation, and dining advice. Additionally, there's a large open space in front of the hotel, large enough for long-distance running, roughly the size of several football fields. The hotel lobby is spacious, bright, beautiful, and comfortable. Now for the disadvantages: Firstly, I couldn't find the way to the hotel. I could see it from afar, but I had no idea how to get there! There were no signs, and I had to squeeze through bushes to get in! The directions given to me by the front desk involved walking through flowerpots, as shown in the photos below. Furthermore, the breakfast in the restaurant was poor, and the staff were rude. They were aggressive while working in the kitchen or coming out to order extra food; I thought there was a robbery going on. However, the day before, a young woman from Qinghai at the restaurant was incredibly kind to the guests. She patiently shared travel tips, helped us cook noodles, and was very talkative, leaving me with the best impression of my trip to Beihai. Finally, let me talk about the restroom facilities. The showerhead sputtered water haphazardly from the hose connection, and the water temperature was unstable, fluctuating between hot and cold. The faucet was just a thin sheet of metal, uncomfortable to handle. The sink drain had no plug, and the seams of the countertop were covered in black mold, which looked disgusting. Also, the elevator carpet was filthy, and the adhesive residue and stains on the elevator car were truly unsightly."
