Having been a fan of Le Meridien since the Starwood era, I've always had a soft spot for the brand. For my solo trip to Qingdao, I chose the Le Meridien Qingdao. I'd seen various reviews and pictures online beforehand, so I was prepared for the hotel's facilities. It's true that in today's market, older five-star hotels that don't keep up can face significant challenges. However, the human element of service truly shines here. As a benchmark in the service and hospitality industry, every staff member I encountered made a great impression. The concierge asked if I needed a carry bag when I checked my luggage. When I declined housekeeping for the next day and requested a bottle of water, the attendant gave me four (though the Purejoy brand water provided by the hotel wasn't the best). The restaurant quality was just okay, especially the buffet which could benefit from a price increase and improved quality. That said, the wontons at breakfast were delicious! The absolute highlight was Luna. She provided attentive service throughout my three-day, two-night stay, arranging fruit upon check-in, checking in with me the next day, and even following up after I checked out. It felt like a personalized butler service. While there were a few minor imperfections, the perfect score is entirely for Luna's exceptional service.

The hotel's overall ambiance is incredibly comfortable. From the moment you step into the lobby to wandering through the outdoor water garden, everything feels very welcoming. It's super close to the beach, perfect for foraging or just relaxing. The sea is clean and uncrowded. The sea-view room we booked offered fantastic views, overlooking the beautifully designed front garden and pool. Even with the misty weather at this time of year, the sea views were still stunning. I really loved the scent of the toiletries, and the body lotion was quite effective. The buffet restaurant, which is also a sea-view restaurant, was an absolute steal. It's just a five-minute walk from the Mangrove Tree Resort World. This is definitely my go-to hotel for both holidays and business trips. The staff are patient and courteous.

First off, the location is a bit out of the way, and there's no shuttle service to Jungceylon. The 'sea view' room offered a very limited view of the sea, nothing like the immersive sea views I've experienced at Ocean Park in Hong Kong. The breakfast was a definite highlight though – delicious and with a wide variety of options. As for the room amenities, they were on par with a typical 3-star hotel in China. Given we stayed at Banyan Tree for the first three nights, the difference was stark; I'd honestly recommend spending the extra money to stay at Banyan Tree instead. Lastly, the air conditioning was incredibly noisy, and the soundproofing was terrible – I could hear every single word our Russian neighbors were saying. I won't be staying here again.

Reading other reviews made me a bit nervous at first, but after checking in, I found it to be absolutely wonderful. The hotel was very clean, and the Thai-style gardens and pool were fantastic. Plus, the hotel is right on the beach – just a short walk from our room, which was incredibly convenient. My child loved it so much they didn't want to leave!

The only downside is that there's nothing much outside the hotel; it's a bit isolated. So, if you're looking for a relaxing hotel stay with family fun, this place is perfect. There are a few restaurants by the sea, and the prices are quite reasonable. It's really great! I'd definitely come back if I get the chance.

A great staycation option without leaving Shanghai! I've been here many times. The hotel has excellent greenery, is very quiet, and ensures a good night's sleep. Compared to before, they've added rock climbing, zip-lining, and water activities, making it even more engaging for older kids. This year, the outdoor pool opened early, and my child had an absolute blast, so much so that we didn't even get a chance to visit the mini-farm. When checking in, I added Bob on WeChat, and he provided excellent follow-up service with very quick responses.

Facilities: Everything is well-equipped, both the hotel and the pool are great. A branded five-star hotel definitely gives you peace of mind, with basically everything you need readily available.

Hygiene: Clean and odorless, no dampness in the room, even the bathtub was spotless. My kid had a blast taking a bath.

Environment: The lobby is spacious and grand, and the rooms inside are cozy and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located near Baolong Plaza and Qibao Ancient Town. Minhang Cultural Park is about 800 meters away, and there's also an art museum and a subway station nearby. It's an incredibly convenient location, perfect for combining sightseeing and accommodation, making it our top choice for a family trip with kids.

Service: Whether it was the front desk staff or even the housekeeping staff we met in the hallway, everyone was proactive, smiling, greeting us, and asking if we needed anything. Our butler service was also very nice. I'd like to recommend our lovely butler, Ms. 'Summer' (her staff ID is in the picture). She was very responsive to all our requests, no need to call the front desk first.

Before we left, the hotel even gave a small gift to our child and reminded us that if we drove, we could register at the front desk for parking exit. They always prioritize the guests' thoughts and needs. This was a fantastic stay.
