Reviews
Cons:
1. Check-in was quite slow. I arrived at 3 PM to check in, but wasn't informed that my room was ready until around 3:40 PM.
2. The location is a bit secluded, with not much to see or do nearby.
However, its beach and scenery are indeed excellent. The beauty lies in the outdoor views.
If the price were around 500 to 800 yuan, I'd say it's about right (still mainly for its beach and public area scenery).
Highly recommended!!
