Hotel Pemandian Air Panas di Shandong, China

My kids and I spent a week in Qingdao and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It turned out to be a lovely getaway. The room was clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and offered a stunning ocean view—plus, we were treated to fireworks every evening right from our window, which was a magical touch. Breakfast was available every morning with a good range of options; we appreciated the variety. Room service was a hit with the kids—they couldn’t get enough of the spaghetti bolognaise and popcorn chicken! I personally enjoyed the club sandwich and the beef noodles. We devoted an entire day to the water park, where the kids had an absolute blast. Although some parts of it could use renovation, it didn’t dampen our fun. One of our favorite activities was cruising around the resort on four-wheel e-bikes—it felt like a private adventure since much of the area was quiet and fairly abandoned, but that added a special charm. The beach is also just across the road, so you can go play in the sand at any time, there are also some men who offer horse and jet ski rides right on the beach. The beach also isn’t too crowded. The only drawback was the resort’s location. It’s quite far from most of Qingdao’s main attractions, so every excursion required at least an hour-long Didi ride. Still, the experience was well worth it, and we genuinely enjoyed our stay. We’d absolutely return again.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with answering questions and assisting us without even asking. The amenities are top notch. The place was clean but a little attention to details would make it better (like the stained carpet in the bedroom. We ended up with an ugly but clean view. Even saw people walking by and was about to change so glad that there was curtain in the bathroom area but I love the open and airiness of the room. The hallways were dark as well as the hallway along the first floor corridor. I think it’s for the atmosphere. The amenities were amazing. The food for breakfast was not memorable but suitable and cooked well. The pool area was so crowded with children so I passed but everyone look like they were enjoying it. Overall, I would definitely stay again.

過年來的，訂了兩天兩間房，年三十和初一連住，三十人還不多，初一開始明顯的人比較多了。和父母一塊入住，泡了温泉，室內室外的都挺好的，房間還給做了升級，環境設施衞生乾淨，很不錯的酒店。 飲食方面，年三十包括初一中午衹能點餐，還好可以存菜，吃不完也沒有浪費下頓繼續吃，白菜水餃好吃，韭菜的比較難吃。初一晚上開自助了，菜品中規中矩吧衹能説是。酒店住宿不錯，吃的差一點。

這次入住體驗真的超出預期，必須給客房和前台全五星好評！一進房間就被乾淨整潔的環境驚艷到，地面、桌面、床品都一塵不染，細節處處理得特別到位，沒有任何異味，整體空間寬敞明亮，採光和通風都非常好，讓人一進門就覺得放鬆又安心。房間的裝修風格簡約大氣，佈局合理，設施齊全且保養得很好，空調、熱水、網絡都運行穩定，使用起來完全沒有不便。床品柔軟舒適，床墊軟硬適中，躺下就能快速入睡，睡眠質量特別高，這一點對於出行的人來説真的太重要了。 客房內的洗漱用品品質很好，毛巾乾淨柔軟，衞浴區域乾濕分離，打掃得十分潔凈，使用起來很放心。房間隔音效果也很棒，關上窗後格外安靜，完全聽不到走廊和外界的噪音，休息得非常好。客房和前台服務響應迅速，有需求都能及時得到解決，工作人員態度温和有禮貌，讓人感覺特別貼心周到。 整體而言，酒店無論是衞生、設施、舒適度還是服務，都做到了無可挑剔，居住體驗感滿分。出行在外能住到這麼舒心的房間，真的讓人倍感温暖。餐飲和温泉也是超級棒，無論是出差還是旅行，這裏都是非常理想的選擇，強烈推薦給大家，下次再來一定會優先選擇這裏！

The resort offers a stunning view and beautiful natural surroundings. However, there were a few challenges, especially for international travelers. Pre-arrival information was limited, and important details like the need to register vehicles in advance to enter the scenic area were not clearly stated on the website. I only learned about this by messaging the hotel via WeChat, which may not be accessible to all foreign guests. While the location was excellent, room maintenance could be improved for the price. The pool tub was not well maintained. As the resort is set in nature, it’s also worth noting that insects may be present in the room or bed. Overall, a scenic stay, but more proactive communication and better upkeep would enhance the experience, particularly for foreign visitors.
