Our family of six adults and one child traveled from Clear Water Bay to Dadonghai and stayed at Ascott. We chose the best executive duplex suite with a pool on the top floor, priced at 3200 for one night or 5999 for two nights. It had three large bedrooms, allowing us all to stay together, feeling more like a temporary home than a hotel.
The service was excellent. Since we booked through Ctrip, the front desk added me on WeChat beforehand, so any requests could be handled promptly, which was very convenient and responsive. The room was spacious, providing ample space for the children to play. Although it's a serviced apartment, the hygiene was well maintained, with no noticeable issues.
However, I'm deducting 0.5 points for one reason: compared to previous resort hotels I've stayed at, the soundproofing at night was just average. Even on the top floor, car horns and the dripping sound of air conditioners outside the window were very noticeable. The central air conditioning unit was also mediocre; even on the lowest fan speed, the noise level was considerable, which wasn't ideal for sleeping. The bed was a bit too soft for my liking. Initially, the strong wind at high altitude caused window resonance, but after reporting it to the front desk, a staff member came and reinforced them.
On the plus side, there's a washing machine and a balcony for drying clothes, which is a great convenience for long trips and very friendly for older guests. The hotel's breakfast pastries weren't as good as those at my previous stays, but the Chinese food was excellent and tasty, with enough variety even if not extensive. The package we booked included a complimentary buffet afternoon tea and a four-person set meal, both of which were delicious and generous, a great bonus that saved us money on one meal.
The hotel's common areas are not very large. We usually walked for 10 minutes to Dadonghai Beach. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and getting a Didi (ride-hailing service) is very convenient. It's about a 37-minute drive from the airport.
Overall, I still highly recommend it, especially the regular rooms which are not expensive and offer good value for money!
