Beach Hotels in Shandong, China

"I traveled with two mothers, and since they're both elderly and need care, this room was perfect for us. The two mothers could sleep in the big bed in the main bedroom, which also had its own bathroom. I stayed in the separate partitioned room. Having two bathrooms was great because it avoided any conflicts, and I didn't have to disturb them at night. Also, I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat when sleeping alone, so staying in a larger apartment like this made me feel much braver. Considering the time of year, this location is excellent, with sea views. Nearby hotels with two separate rooms would cost around 800-1000 yuan, so the apartment I booked offered good value for money. The first thing I did every morning was enjoy the view. Housekeeping cleaned daily, which was a plus. The elderly ladies were also very satisfied."

"The hotel's location is excellent; there's a bus stop right outside with direct routes to Yantai Railway Station, Yantai Mountain Scenic Area, and more. The front desk service was even better – always available, meticulous, and made us feel at ease during our stay. Dining and shopping options are very convenient around the hotel. The room was beautifully decorated, and the two windows offered both ventilation and great views, which was delightful. The high-definition TV screen was especially comfortable to watch, which is a rare find. Overall, we were very satisfied with this stay. I hope everyone considers it, and I wish the hotel even greater success! The four pictures below show the morning view from the two windows in the room."

"I chose this hotel for my National Day holiday stay, and the experience was really great. The location is not only super convenient, but also excellent for reaching all the main scenic spots. The hotel lobby even had special activities set up for National Day, and they offered some tools for clam digging, which was a fantastic memorable touch. Plus, the price was reasonable. The rooms themselves were very well-equipped with all the facilities, excellent. The views were also very nice. The staff member, Chloe, was also incredibly enthusiastic."

"The location is a real winner, directly facing the ocean. It was so relaxing to watch the tides come and go from the window. Downstairs, there's a great variety of restaurants, making it super convenient to find food. The beach is just a short walk away, perfect for a stroll and watching the sunset after dinner. The guesthouse itself is clean and comfortable, and getting around was very easy. Overall, we had a very relaxing and pleasant stay. We even extended for another night, and the owner was kind enough to arrange for us to stay in the same room so we didn't have to move."

"The room was fantastic! Even with a partial sea view, we could still enjoy a beautiful view of the bay. The sea and sky truly live up to the 4.9-star reputation. The service was incredibly thoughtful as well. As soon as we got out of the car, a concierge was there to help with our luggage, even though we didn't have much. From that moment, we felt completely at home. Even more delightful was the service from Lora. As a front desk agent, she also acted as a personal butler, greeting us proactively every day. It was Mid-Autumn Festival, and I casually asked if they had mooncakes. To our surprise, she and her manager (I assume) personally came to deliver a small gift and a mooncake for our child. For us, as regular guests with a young one, this was truly an unexpected and wonderful surprise! The hotel's location is excellent too. We could cross the road and go clam digging for small fish and shrimp. Full marks (100%) for both the price and the service!"

"I initially chose the Crowne Plaza Yantai Nanshan primarily for its excellent location (situated in the university town and adjacent to the Yantai International Expo Center). On the day of my arrival, Cassie at the front desk handled my check-in. She thoroughly asked about my needs and gave me a warm welcome, which made me feel very much at ease. During my stay, I accidentally dropped a whole roll of toilet paper on the bathroom floor. Given how absorbent toilet paper is, two-thirds of it was soaked by the time I picked it up, and no matter how much I tried to wring it out, it was no use. I reluctantly called the front desk for help, and Dasiy, who answered the phone, quickly contacted housekeeping to bring a new roll to my room. Although it wasn't a major issue, the professional service provided by the hotel staff made me feel incredibly cared for. It's true what they say, ”Even an old Ferrari is still a Ferrari.” On a special note, the hotel has ample parking spaces and a dedicated charging area. I highly recommend the Crowne Plaza Yantai Nanshan for anyone visiting Yantai."

"I chose to visit Qingdao because of a hotel – I was so captivated by the Beer Time Hotel that it became my reason for coming here. This trip was a family outing with my mother, and we stayed in the full sea-view suite that had initially caught my eye. I absolutely loved the design of this room type. From the living room, the bar, the bathroom, and the full sea-view balcony directly facing the ocean, every design detail won me over. My visit to Qingdao was solely for this hotel, so naturally, the experience was undeniably excellent. Of course, what I loved most and found most interesting was that the hotel placed two beer taps in the room. You could just turn on the taps at the bar and in the bathing area to pour fresh beer. It was incredibly novel and fun. The beer was very fresh, with a shelf life of only 24 hours. There was so much of it that you could keep pouring and never finish it – a joy that can only be understood by experiencing it yourself. Qingdao truly embodies its beer culture in every single detail. The beer in the bathing area was grapefruit-flavored, sweet and sour and delicious, and there were even beer hop bath bombs. The entire room was full of beer-themed elements, which was super thoughtful. The hotel is located at Golden Beach in Huangdao District, which is the main venue for the Qingdao Beer Festival. You can walk to the large beer tent in just a few steps, so the location is uniquely excellent. The hotel service was also exceptional. First, we received three welcome drinks, complimentary beer ice cream, and unlimited drinks at the bar on the first floor. They also gave guests many discount coupons. These hidden perks were like grand surprises, multiplying the enjoyment of our stay. For example, the two free beer coupons and the 50 RMB gift coupon for the Hapi Duck Trendy Toy Store were genuinely free – no strings attached. For the toy store, you could simply pick up 50 RMB worth of items, not one of those deals where you have to spend 199 or 299 RMB first to get 50 RMB off. It was a genuine 50 RMB voucher for goods, truly honest. But what I want to highly, highly praise are the three complimentary professional photo shoot services provided by the hotel. Honestly, I initially felt indifferent about such photography services and didn't pay much attention to them. We have our own professional equipment, and I have very high standards for photos. Because we travel and take photos frequently, I've managed to train my husband to a pretty professional level among amateurs. So, I even thought the photo shoot might be a bit time-consuming and that it wouldn't matter if we canceled it due to time constraints. But! Who! Knew! This travel shoot ended up producing some of the best photos of our lives. There were virtually no bad shots; every single one was perfect. I loved them so, so much. All 37 photos left both my mother and me full of praise. At 10:30 AM, under the bright sun, I didn't think good photos were possible, but the results were unexpectedly excellent. On the rooftop, the red-roofed houses, the coastline, and our smiling faces were captured in each frame. The photographer was a young man; I forgot to ask his name, but he was exceptionally good at taking photos and guiding our poses. I was stunned when I saw the final pictures. This travel photography service should definitely be continued – it left us with wonderful memories of our entire Qingdao trip and immortalized all the beautiful moments. A very special thank you. This stay left us with incredibly happy and beautiful memories of our entire Qingdao trip."

"Where do I even begin? I've been staying at this hotel every time I visit Qingdao for years! The location is absolutely amazing! It's just a 5-minute walk across the street to the Beer Festival venue. A short stroll north takes you to Golden Beach, and if you head south a bit further, you'll reach Silver Beach, perfect for sunset views! Parking downstairs is convenient, and the dining options are fantastic – Lü's and Daguoqiang are right there! The rooms are also spacious, around 70㎡, making them incredibly comfortable and roomy. Plus, they come with a balcony offering garden or sea views! In short, highly recommended! 👍"
