Miyue · shenzhen Santorini Sea View Resort

The environment is great, and the location is excellent. We booked a sea-view room, and the view was decent. However, the room size was too small, making it not very good value for money. Overall, though, we were satisfied. There's also a popular restaurant just a short walk downstairs.

The room looks great, and it would probably be beautiful with the sun out, but it was cloudy when I visited, so I missed the sunset and the 'orange sea'. The soundproofing isn't great, and it can be a bit noisy. They said you could go swimming and play in the sand, but the beach was incredibly tiny.

Let's be objective. First, the service was genuinely good; my small requests were all met, and the breakfast was decent. They also gave us a 100 RMB dining voucher. Now for the issues: 1. The toilet only has a curtain – who'd feel comfortable using that? 2. The shower is tiny, 0.5x0.5 meters (0.25 sq m), and also just has a curtain. 3. You'd think they're short on space, but then there's a huge open-plan bathtub. 4. The air conditioning was terrible; even at 16 degrees, I was sweating, and the walls kept radiating heat at night. 5. The room is definitely old and needs a renovation. I'd stayed here twice in a sea-view room when it first opened, and it was quite good back then, though the price was higher. Last night, I had dinner and drinks at the adjacent ShanYe restaurant and didn't want to drive, so I took the last available room (besides a family room). Honestly, 600 RMB isn't expensive for the summer, but it's not particularly cheap either. The facilities just don't match the price point. However, walking a bit up the hill this morning, the new MiYue hotel offers the same room type for a similar 600+ RMB, and it felt much better – probably because it's new. Overall, the experience was very mediocre.

The room was clean and offered a sea view from the window, overlooking the restaurant. It was also very close to the beach, and the surrounding area was perfect for photos. Breakfast had both Chinese and Western options, and in the evenings, there was a self-service dessert bar. The service was excellent overall, and I was quite satisfied. My only minor complaint is that the breakfast was exactly the same for both days of my stay.

Had a wonderful trip! The hotel butler service was excellent, very warm and welcoming. Breakfast was also incredibly delicious. It felt just like visiting very kind relatives, everything was so thoughtfully arranged.
