To be fair, this hotel is absolutely stunning and boasts an excellent location surrounded by beautiful scenery. From the window, you get breathtaking views of both the sea and the natural mountain landscape up above.
That said, getting around proved quite difficult for us as foreign visitors, even though the hotel runs a twice-daily shuttle bus to and from the town centre. The shuttle driver himself was incredibly kind, and we really liked him, but that could not make up for the other inconveniences. There are virtually no shops nearby, and parcel deliveries of essential items are not possible here either.
We booked accommodation at this hotel partly because we believed there would be a swimming pool right next to our unit, yet we discovered the pool is situated in a separate building block, requiring a walk to reach it. Mosquitoes were also abundant; sitting out on the balcony was completely unfeasible.
The views are undeniably gorgeous, and this spot would suit travellers seeking a quiet, secluded retreat. However, it was far too inconvenient for our needs. Having your own vehicle would likely make staying here much more manageable.
The breakfast offering is not well-suited for foreign guests either. On our first morning, we were served a pre-plated traditional Chinese breakfast with no choices available there was no selection of food to pick from as we pleased. The following day, a member of the front desk staff asked if we would prefer alternative meals and offered to prepare omelettes for us, though we declined the offer.
All things considered, the hotel rooms themselves are pleasant. Our experience was a mixed bag, about fifty-fifty. We even booked an additional room shortly after arriving, drawn in by the peaceful natural surroundings at first. Yet we quickly encountered drawbacks: the unusable balcony, the inconveniently located swimming pool, the persistent mosquitoes, and other small frustrations.
Ultimately, whether this hotel works for you entirely depends on what you hope to get out of your trip
