Beach Hotels in Shandong, China

I originally booked this hotel in Yantai just for a layover before taking a ferry, and I never expected it to be so fantastic! The first reaction from my four friends when we entered the room was, ”Wow, this is so luxurious, like a presidential suite!” There was even a game console in the room, making it perfect for families with kids. This hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The cleanliness was impeccable, with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. The front desk staff, both the young lady and the older woman, had excellent service attitudes. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Yantai.

Essentially an apartment, but with hotel-style management and excellent service. The cleanliness was a pleasant surprise; I hardly found any dirty spots, and the linens were spotless. The view is absolutely stunning, with three floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom all facing the ocean directly. The room's facilities are a bit dated, though, and there's no smart home control system. The decor feels like it's from a decade ago.

This was an upgraded room given to us by the owner, with a sea view. I deliberated for a long time before booking this B&B, originally thinking that because of the low price, it might not be that great. But as soon as we checked in, my husband praised me, saying I booked an amazing place, better than the chain hotels we've stayed in. Although prices are low in Weihai, this place definitely felt like a 200-300 yuan hotel. The sunlight was great, not at all depressing, and the kids had a wonderful time. The only thing is, it would be even better if the hotel had more elevators. Right downstairs, across the street, is the sea. There are people taking photos, places to eat, electric scooter rentals, and kids playing in the sand. Many influencers were taking photos downstairs – it was truly fantastic! The room also has cooking facilities and sand toys for the kids. The whole experience was superb!

Unexpectedly good! From the moment I checked in, there were so many pleasant surprises, especially the warm service from managers Alice and Franz. My room was upgraded to an Executive Room, and I was also given access to the Executive Lounge. Overall, the hotel's facilities, environment, and service are in no way inferior to the St. Regis next door. The location is also excellent, with the beach right downstairs. The all-you-can-eat breakfast offers a wide variety of choices, easily on par with or even exceeding what you'd find at most five-star hotels. If I'm ever in Qingdao for a business trip again, I'll definitely choose to stay here.

The location is incredibly convenient, right next to all the attractions. The room was clean with no strange odors, and the bedding was soft, ensuring a great night's sleep. All the facilities were complete and worked perfectly. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The value for money is absolutely amazing – I'll definitely choose this place again next time!

I always worry about being cold when staying in a hotel in winter, so I specifically looked for one with floor heating, and it was really warm. The room was also quite spacious. Highly recommended! There were no strange smells in the room, and the decor was simple and stylish, exactly the kind of hotel vibe I prefer.

This is the only hotel in the city center with direct beach access, boasting an excellent location. There are plenty of food delivery options nearby. The hotel also has direct access to the beach, so you wake up to the sound of waves every day. The pool is very clean and even has a kids' pool. Our butler, Sheila, provided excellent service, always responsive to our requests. The cleaning staff also did a great job every day. Overall, a fantastic experience! We'll definitely stay at Hyatt Regency Qingdao again on our next visit.

Yantai Marriott Hotel is truly exceptional, and this is the most detailed review I've ever written. 1. **Service:** The excellent experience started the moment we arrived at the hotel entrance. The bellhop proactively helped us with our luggage. The front desk lady who checked us in was incredibly nice. We arrived quite early, and the previous guests hadn't checked out yet, which was a bit awkward as my wife is still breastfeeding. The front desk lady kindly offered us a temporary room, for which we are extremely grateful!!! I can honestly say that the staff here will go out of their way to help resolve any request a guest has – they're like Doraemon! All the service staff greeted us with smiles, were very friendly, and proactively asked if we needed assistance. When checking out, we had our elderly parents and children with us, and quite a lot of luggage. The bellhop proactively carried our bags and escorted my wife, parents, and children to the car. At that moment, I felt that Marriott would be our go-to choice for future trips. (I hope the hotel has a reward system; the front desk lady and the bellhop truly deserve recognition). 2. **Environment:** It's no exaggeration to say that the moment we opened our room door, we were greeted with an unbeatable, truly unbeatable sea view!!! You can lie in bed and watch the ocean and the sunrise. The bathtub also offers a super picturesque spot for photos. The landscaping, in particular, is meticulously planned, with beautiful scenery at every turn. My wife and mother spent a whole morning taking photos on the large lawn and amidst the greenery – it's incredibly photogenic. Plus, it's just a one-minute walk, literally one minute, from the hotel garden to the seaside promenade! You can play and take endless photos here!!! 3. **Family-Friendly:** This hotel is particularly suitable for family vacations with children and the elderly. You can have a fulfilling experience within a 3-kilometer radius without even needing to leave. We visited during the Qingming Festival holiday, and the hotel offered special craft classes. With the beach and sea right outside, it was incredibly comfortable, and we completely avoided the anxiety and hustle often associated with traveling with children. It was just so relaxing 😌😌😌 PS: All the photos are on my wife's camera 📷, I haven't transferred them yet, too much hassle, hahahahaha. Here are just a few photos for you all to see.

The owner personally made dumplings for the ***** New Year and served them to the guests, and they were delicious. The Canal Museum is 5 minutes north of the hotel, and Goseongbukmun is 5 minutes away on foot. Because it was ***** New Year, the restaurants around the hotel were closed, so I couldn't use them, but there were many delicious restaurants nearby. The location, cleanliness, and service were not bad compared to other hotels. I think I'll use it again next time I go.

The room was unexpectedly clean. I was a bit worried it might be cold when I booked, but it was surprisingly warm, with its own heating system. The sofa was very cozy, and the decor was quite artistic. The owner was incredibly kind; we had a minor issue, and they resolved it very promptly, which was a huge relief! The all-glass exterior offered fantastic views, and it was so pleasant. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, and you could even capture beautiful night views right from the room. This hotel is definitely a great choice for travel.
