Bettle
January 18, 2026
We stayed at this hotel during the New Year's Day holiday with our child for a trip to Chimelong. It included a 'one-pass' entry to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom (and the Chimelong show), so it offered decent value for money. The hotel service was pretty standard. When we arrived by car, a valet immediately greeted us, helped with our luggage, and directed us to the parking garage. The lobby was quite distinctive, clearly showcasing typical Chimelong amusement park elements. There were a lot of people checking in, but a welcome dance kept my daughter entertained during the wait, which she really enjoyed. Our room faced the ocean and the dolphin pool, allowing us to watch the dolphin show up close. Getting to Ocean Kingdom was convenient with a ferry shuttle, taking about ten minutes. There were many attractions; my daughter especially loved the sea lion surfing bumper boats and the ice cream. The Whale Shark Exhibit was also very popular with kids, and it's the largest aquarium in Asia! I brought my son here ten years ago, and it was quite impressive then too. We watched the Chimelong parade and fireworks show for two nights, which made the ticket price feel worthwhile! Compared to ten years ago, the Chimelong show felt a little less thrilling and adventurous, but they've added more video games and popular cartoons that kids love, which was still a good choice. Hotel dining was available at all times, but the food quality was just average and definitely needs improvement. Overall, it was still a great experience, and the trip was well worth it!
