To sum it up, the facilities could use some improvement, the environment is top-notch, and the service has room to grow.
1. All the benefits included in the Ctrip calendar room package were already free, so there was no real advantage.
2. It was hot, and there's no indoor parking. The outdoor parking lot meant internal car temperatures soared to 50-60 degrees Celsius. Be prepared for that before picking up your car. You rely entirely on shuttle buses to get between every area, and there are no covered walkways or underground passages. This really tests the service in extreme heat and heavy rain. We encountered situations where no umbrellas were provided and had long waits in line for shuttles.
3. Despite explicitly requesting the sofa bed to be set up both on the platform and via WeChat with our butler, it was still folded when we entered the room at 3 PM. This meant our child couldn't nap on time, which was a big disappointment.
4. It wasn't an all-inclusive package, so we paid extra to try the Zhizhi Restaurant, the evening buffet at Daole Restaurant, and the Mill Restaurant. The value for money was just okay, though the vegetables and river fresh dishes tasted good.
5. The Kids' Playroom had many ping-pong tables, which adults appreciated. However, the lighting in the sand digging area and the toddler slide area was dim. Due to the high ceilings, standard lighting wasn't sufficient, and some lights weren't even working.
6. Signage for various areas was unclear and not prominent enough, making it difficult for first-time guests. There was no indication that the Kids' Playroom was inside the Cultural Center; we had to ask repeatedly to find it. The restaurant signs were also not obvious, hidden behind greenery. While aesthetically pleasing, this is inconvenient for new guests in scorching heat or heavy rain.
7. The swimming pool, room size, and facilities were all excellent in terms of hardware.
Our child still had a lot of fun, so the adults tolerated the downsides. We'll consider a second visit when the weather cools down and after the summer peak season.
