Marriott Yantai

This hotel, which ranks number one on Ctrip, is definitely worth booking! 😉😉😉😉😉😉 In an era where ratings can be a bit inflated, it's always good to trust the established brands a bit more, and it turns out that's true! No disappointment whatsoever! 😜😜😜😜😜😜 It's a bit out of the way in the development zone, but! The main thing is that it boasts a frontline sea view! And the most important thing is, you can literally walk downstairs right to the beach—that's an absolute advantage! 😀😀😀😀😀😀 Even during the off-season, it didn't affect my travel experience this time. Having the beach all to myself was truly relaxing! There weren't many people at breakfast, and the food selection wasn't huge, but they had everything I wanted and needed, so it was perfectly fine. 😋😋😋😋

Traveling with a baby, this place is very baby-friendly. They provided a baby toothbrush, slippers, and a crib. The sea view room is absolutely beautiful, with direct ocean views. The staff are very nice, and it's close to attractions. I always choose Marriott and I'm very satisfied.

This hotel is excellent overall: 1. The lobby is grand and luxurious, with complete, comfortable facilities. Its seaside location means you can walk straight from the hotel garden to the coastal path and beach, perfect for enjoying the sea and sand. 2. The dining options are varied and plentiful. The breakfast combines Western and Chinese dishes with fresh ingredients. Items like pan-fried dumplings, waffles, and bread are made fresh to order and taste superb. There's also a wide selection of salads, fruits, vegetables, various stir-fries, and grains. 3. The service deserves special praise. The front desk staff are polite and efficient, and everyone from housekeeping to restaurant staff is courteous and attentive. The executive floor service is even better, making you feel welcome and happy. The only minor drawback was not knowing where to park upon arrival after a long drive, requiring me to get out and ask. However, I was very satisfied overall. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit and recommend it to friends and family.

The hotel's location is excellent and very convenient for transport. The front desk staff were warm and professional, making check-in efficient. Our room was spacious and bright, with new and elegant decor, and the bedding was super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the smart shower facilities worked perfectly. Breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. A special shout-out to the housekeeping auntie for her meticulous cleaning. Overall, it's great value for money, with attention to detail evident everywhere. The sea-view balcony room allowed us to watch the sunrise. Highly recommend it; I'll definitely choose this place again!

The Yantai Shimao Marriott Hotel offers both stunning views and excellent service, making it perfect for families with children. The sea-view rooms provide expansive vistas of Golden Beach and the ocean, offering romantic sunrises and sunsets in a peaceful and comfortable setting. The hotel is very kid-friendly, with a full range of facilities for children, ensuring they have fun while parents relax and enjoy their vacation. A special thanks to Luna for her thoughtful and attentive service throughout our stay; she was kind, meticulous, and proactive in addressing our needs, making the entire check-in process smooth and pleasant. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yantai.

Yantai Marriott Hotel is truly exceptional, and this is the most detailed review I've ever written. 1. **Service:** The excellent experience started the moment we arrived at the hotel entrance. The bellhop proactively helped us with our luggage. The front desk lady who checked us in was incredibly nice. We arrived quite early, and the previous guests hadn't checked out yet, which was a bit awkward as my wife is still breastfeeding. The front desk lady kindly offered us a temporary room, for which we are extremely grateful!!! I can honestly say that the staff here will go out of their way to help resolve any request a guest has – they're like Doraemon! All the service staff greeted us with smiles, were very friendly, and proactively asked if we needed assistance. When checking out, we had our elderly parents and children with us, and quite a lot of luggage. The bellhop proactively carried our bags and escorted my wife, parents, and children to the car. At that moment, I felt that Marriott would be our go-to choice for future trips. (I hope the hotel has a reward system; the front desk lady and the bellhop truly deserve recognition). 2. **Environment:** It's no exaggeration to say that the moment we opened our room door, we were greeted with an unbeatable, truly unbeatable sea view!!! You can lie in bed and watch the ocean and the sunrise. The bathtub also offers a super picturesque spot for photos. The landscaping, in particular, is meticulously planned, with beautiful scenery at every turn. My wife and mother spent a whole morning taking photos on the large lawn and amidst the greenery – it's incredibly photogenic. Plus, it's just a one-minute walk, literally one minute, from the hotel garden to the seaside promenade! You can play and take endless photos here!!! 3. **Family-Friendly:** This hotel is particularly suitable for family vacations with children and the elderly. You can have a fulfilling experience within a 3-kilometer radius without even needing to leave. We visited during the Qingming Festival holiday, and the hotel offered special craft classes. With the beach and sea right outside, it was incredibly comfortable, and we completely avoided the anxiety and hustle often associated with traveling with children. It was just so relaxing 😌😌😌 PS: All the photos are on my wife's camera 📷, I haven't transferred them yet, too much hassle, hahahahaha. Here are just a few photos for you all to see.

The hotel's surroundings are truly commendable – quiet and comfortable, making it a perfect escape for relaxation. The room decor is unique and tastefully done, with exquisite details that show the hotel's dedication and investment in design. The breakfast offers a wide variety of choices, including many delicious local specialties that were a real treat. Airla, a member of the hotel staff, provided excellent service! She gave us plenty of recommendations for local food and attractions, and even gifted our child a sand-digging toy, which was incredibly thoughtful and perfect for families traveling with kids!

This hotel is located in Yantai Development Zone, which is a bit out of the way. We arrived in Weifang from Beijing a day early and stayed overnight. On April 5th, around 11:50 AM, we arrived at Yantai Xinguang Marriott Hotel. A male staff member at the entrance enthusiastically and proactively helped us with directions and our luggage. When I got to the front desk, I handed my ID to a female staff member. I don't know if she was having a bad day or just didn't like me, but she immediately started scolding me, saying, 'Don't you know check-in isn't until 3 PM? We don't have any rooms available for immediate check-in right now.' I was truly taken aback by her attitude. I said we could have lunch first and then check in when a room was ready. After a while, she pulled out a room key and said a room had just become available. I thanked her, but then she said we only had one breakfast included. I told her I booked the room and clearly reserved two breakfasts. After another moment, she then confirmed it was indeed two breakfasts. I then asked about the breakfast times and location, and the Chinese restaurant's times and location. She impatiently replied, 'That's enough, you can go.' After I left, I remembered that I booked an executive room, and she hadn't mentioned anything about the executive lounge. So, I went back to the front desk and asked why she hadn't told me about the executive lounge benefits. She then asked, 'Did you book an executive lounge room?' I told her my booking confirmation should have the relevant details. After thinking for a moment, she said the 19th floor had executive lounge benefits and then took out a piece of paper from her desk with the executive lounge's hours and location. I don't understand why a front desk staff member at a five-star hotel would have such a work attitude. How can she be so disrespectful and rude to guests? After receiving a customer's ID, they should be able to look up all the booking information. Why were there so many inconsistencies? Was it just because I arrived early? Should I be chastised like that just for arriving early? What was she thinking while working, being so distracted? We seniors don't come here to be treated so poorly; it's absolutely outrageous. I later reported this situation to another front desk staff member and requested to speak with a front desk supervisor. Afterward, a lady told me that the staff member was new. I don't believe being new is a valid excuse for such behavior. The hotel's front desk is its face, and if someone's service is so poor, why are they working at the front desk? The facilities and equipment in the hotel room are mostly complete, but they do feel a bit dated. The breakfast selection is varied, and the taste is decent.

Yantai Marriott Hotel offers a fantastic experience! The family-friendly facilities are thoughtful, with kids' amenities and sand-digging tools that kept my child thoroughly entertained. The direct sea view is absolutely stunning, with our room balcony overlooking the ocean – both sunrises and sunsets were incredibly therapeutic. A special thanks to Luna for her warm and attentive service; she made check-in efficient and pleasant, always ready to help, and paid great attention to every detail. The environment is clean and comfortable, and it's conveniently located. It's truly a top choice for a family vacation. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Yantai. Highly recommended!
