Huidong Hotels with Wifi

"Overall, it was a decent stay and a pleasant experience. My family and I stayed in room 13009 from August 22nd to 24th. It seems our room was upgraded (the front desk staff didn't mention it). My family and I booked separately; they had booked a Deluxe Seaview Room, which was slightly more expensive than my Full Seaview King Room. Coincidentally, even though we checked in at different front desks, we were assigned rooms on the same floor, right next to each other, which was great :) Pros: 1. The guest room was on the 30th floor, offering an excellent and expansive sea view. The view was definitely a major highlight. It's a shame the weather was unstable and mostly cloudy during our stay; I'm sure the view would have been even more stunning on a clear day. 2. The room had high ceilings, giving it a spacious feel. Although the decor was simple, the floor-to-ceiling windows allowed for plenty of natural light, making the room bright and comfortable. The cleanliness was also satisfactory. Rooms facing the sea can be prone to humidity, but the air conditioning was sufficient, and a dehumidifier was provided (I recommend keeping it on for extended periods) to effectively maintain dryness and prevent any stuffy, damp feeling. The in-room amenities were also very thoughtful, including charging cables, essential oil patches/eye masks, anti-noise earplugs, and a coffee machine with Starbucks coffee capsules, which tasted very good. 3. The hotel's recreational facilities were abundant and clean. The design of the pool connecting to the beach was excellent, making it very suitable for families with children for a short vacation. You wouldn't get bored even with a three-day, two-night stay. 4. The hotel's exterior design was aesthetically pleasing, and the lobby had very high ceilings, creating an open and spacious atmosphere. 5. The hotel offered a ”little butler” WeChat service, with prompt responses and immediate assistance from staff. In the mornings, they would even proactively ask if we needed any items replenished, which was commendable. 6. There were many restaurant choices and convenience stores near the hotel, all within walking distance. Cons: 1. The hotel is a bit old, but still within an acceptable range. However, maintenance is clearly lacking, especially the outdoor balcony of the room, which was quite dilapidated and not thoroughly cleaned. This made us completely unwilling to spend time there, wasting the beautiful sea view and significantly diminishing the overall experience. 2. The prices at the hotel restaurants and vending machines were on the high side. 3. The staff's service level was mediocre; not terrible, but certainly not enthusiastic either. The service was just basic. Especially during check-in at the front desk, it felt like dealing with a government office, lacking a friendly touch. 4. It would be better if the TV channels included Hong Kong channels. 5. The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak; both the toilet space and the toilet itself were a bit small, uncomfortable for adults. Minor incident: Upon entering the room, we found that the TV remote control was not working. We requested assistance through the 'little butler' and also asked for an extra pair of slippers and toothbrushes. Soon after, a female staff member in a white uniform delivered the items, but only brought a pair of reusable plastic slippers. We explained that we wanted disposable slippers, and she repeatedly emphasized that we hadn't specified, stating that typically when we just say ”slippers,” they understand it as plastic slippers... She wasn't impolite, but her incessant way of speaking was a bit uncomfortable. We had no intention of arguing and simply replied, ”Understood, thank you,” to send her off. Later, another staff member in a different uniform (I've forgotten the color) came to fix the TV issue. Her service attitude was remarkably different. She was smiling and polite, and noticing that our Mandarin wasn't fluent, she proactively switched to Cantonese to communicate with us and warmly asked if we needed anything else. The next day, when we encountered the shower water pressure problem, she was the one who came to follow up, and her attitude remained sincere and dedicated. We met her again during check-out, and she chatted with us kindly for a while, which was very heartwarming. Although we don't know her name, we genuinely want to commend her service – she was the most polite and enthusiastic staff member we encountered at this hotel, and her attitude truly made us feel at home."

"The hotel facilities are a bit old, but after all, it is a big brand, and the hygiene and service are impeccable. The hotel's tea restaurant tastes good and parking is also convenient. I was supposed to stay for two days, but later my schedule changed temporarily. After explaining the situation to the hotel, they also helped me to cancel the room. I will choose to stay here next time."

"The hotel is huge and gets very crowded, but we never had to wait for a table at breakfast. Sylvia was really enthusiastic and upgraded me to a Supreme Family Suite with a full sea view, which I think just meant a higher floor. There are quite a few things to do here; we couldn't even get through all the facilities in one day."

"The room was clean and hygienic, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the facilities were complete, including all necessary toiletries. The front desk staff were warm and attentive. They even gave us a free upgrade to a high-floor sea-view room! One day wasn't enough to enjoy everything here, so we extended our stay. It's great value for money, and I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit Shuangyue Bay!"

"I experienced all the common complaints mentioned in reviews, like the incredibly slow elevators and the lack of A/C in the elevator lobby. It took me 10 minutes just to go downstairs to pick up a takeout order. Breakfast was chaotic and overcrowded, and the enamel plates for the food were all chipped. My room had patches of mold, and the hot spring area consisted of just a few small, simple, and rather depressing pools. Apparently, next to the Salt Crystal building is the No. 1 Oriental building, which is unfinished and a real eyesore. However, the butler service was excellent and responsive; they quickly resolved any issues, which significantly improved my stay. The Salt Crystal front desk was incredibly slow, but the Silver Sand front desk was much better and more efficient. I wonder if the Silver Sand elevators are slow too. On a perfect note, the Reef Bar attraction was truly beautiful and served as a filming location for 'Wild Dog Bones.' Unfortunately, I only made it to the church at night and didn't have time to go up to the bar. Also, the lobby's interior and exterior are stunning, very Dubai-esque. Anyway, I definitely won't be coming back, unless the elevators get faster~~ I honestly can't imagine the stuffy heat while waiting for the slow elevators, which also lack up/down indicators and arrival notifications. I can skip breakfast, but I can't avoid using the elevator."

"Beautiful, quaint apartment. Fully furnished with all the basic ammenities and needs. We had a great ocean view which wasn't directly South-facing, so the sun wasn't a big problem on the balcony. The projector had a paid VIP membership so we could watch whatever we wanted. The wifi also worked well. The beach is just across the road and a breeze to access. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and were eager to assist whenever needed. The room is cleaned every day and they supply fresh water. Breakfast was available promptly and there was a nice variety of food at the buffet. They only have the buffet over weekends though. They also give out free toys for kids to play on the beach with and you can collect free popcorn at night. I would definitely recommend this place to a couple or some friends going on holiday and wanting a relaxed beach atmosphere. There was difinitely enough space for us and our baby."

"The experience was great – very clean and comfortable. In the afternoon, when the sun was too strong, we could swim in the indoor pool on the fourth floor. There's also a small playground for kids on the third floor. The beach is right outside, and you can even drive your car into the nearby fireworks zone, which was awesome. In the evenings, we could watch cartoons with the kids on the projector."

"Five-star praise! This time I made an appointment with my sisters to play in Liwan. I really didn't step on thunder when I booked this hotel. The location is very convenient, it is easy to go out to eat and go to the beach. The front desk service is particularly gentle and the check-in speed is very fast. The room is clean and bright, all kinds of facilities inside are well used, and the living is particularly comfortable. I will choose here next time I come to the beach."

"I was worried that a guesthouse by the sea would be damp and dirty, but my concerns were unfounded. The cleaning was meticulous; there was no dust on the surfaces, and no soap scum in the shower. The appliances were all well-equipped and in good working order, the fridge kept things fresh effectively, and the windows and doors had good sound insulation. Every facility was well-maintained and checked, making for a very comfortable stay."

"Check-in was super fast, the room was very clean, and we had a direct, unobstructed ocean view. This price is an absolute steal!"
