[Hotel Indigo Beidaihe.Private Villa Lake View Courtyard Suite] Love in Qinhuangdao
🛏【️Hotel Indigo Beidaihe】
📌 Hotel Overview Overview
❶. Comprehensive evaluation: The area of Rushihai Resort is much larger than that of Hainan Tufu Bay Manmu Resort, Hilton Collection Hotel. Although it is not as well-known as the nearby Aranya, future plans are promising. (There will be four hotels in the park: the affordable and comfortable "Rushi Apartment" that has opened, suitable for long-term stays; the lifestyle-style exquisite resort hotel "Indigo"; the one that will open in the year after next, which is more seaside, larger and Crowne Plaza with more than 200 rooms; a six-star Golden Diamond luxury hotel will be opened in the future, which will be the ceiling of the hotel industry in the entire prefecture-level city of Qinhuangdao); currently, the top five scenic hotels in Hebei Province are all in Qinhuangdao In addition to Beidaihe Indigo, there are also Yin, Shangri-La, Marriott and Arcadia next to it. We have stayed in 9 hotels in Qinhuangdao, and the ones we stayed at most are Shangri-La and the two that have been withdrawn (Seaview Holiday/Club Med Joyview Gold Coast). In comparison, "Like the Sea" combines the Buddhist wabi-sabi wind with the The sense of future, fashion, modernity, science fiction and almost pure deconstruction of abstraction, three-dimensionality and simplicity are so seamlessly blended that they are rare and rare in the entire North China region. It is worth visiting for curiosity or Stay a while. The hotel has multiple above-ground parking areas, and there is also a parking area on the villa platform. However, some security guards are allowed in, and some cars are only allowed to park in the parking area outside the restaurant. It is recommended to use unified standards;
❷. Territory profile: Qinhuangdao has jurisdiction over 4 districts (Haigang/Shanhaiguan/Beidaihe/Funing), two counties (Changli/Lulong), 1 autonomous county (Qinglong Manchu), and three dispatch offices (Economic Development Zone/Comprehensive Bonded Area/ Beidaihe New District), the hotel is located in Changli County, but is administratively under the actual jurisdiction of Beidaihe New District. A quarter of an hour's drive from the hotel is the 4A-level scenic spot - Changli International Sand Skiing Center.
🏨 About the room In Room
❶. Guest room layout: This time we stayed in the private bath courtyard suite of the lake view villa. The indoor area is 90 square meters. If you add the courtyard facing the lake (with a back door directly leading to the lake area and restaurant), the area is almost 200 square meters. The indoor layout is long, and the chandelier in the living room is too short. It is easy for a tall guy like me, who is 1.9 meters tall, to bump into it. The TV channels can receive RT, Cuba Vision, etc., but Phoenix Chinese and Information, BBC, CNN etc., none of them are available; the courtyard room has a larger exclusive hot spring pool, while the lake view room is equipped with a bathtub. The hardware configuration in the guest room is in line with Indigo's usual standards: Hansgrohe, Dyson, air purifier, Nespresso capsule coffee machine, bathrobes made of comfortable materials, etc., are all available. In addition, there are RV rooms on the beach, with a private VVIP tea break area nearby, making it even more difficult to find a room;
❷. Welcome gifts: Some InterContinental hotels always wait and see who is serving the dishes. They will give gifts to the guests they consider important, and otherwise they will not give them. For example, Shenyang Tawan Express is like this. The credit card package is returned before. Later, I stopped giving it. Although it was a small thing and not worth much, it could give me a glimpse of the standard of a hotel. Similar situations will never occur at Indigo Beidaihe, such as 90 yuan meal coupons, welcome drink coupons, and daily free minibars (my sons are used to eating large Toblerone chocolates made in Australia, but they did not expect small chocolates made in Switzerland. The Toblerone is also delicious, thumbs up), the welcome fruits, etc. are fully prepared and filled, I’m really grateful. Singing bowls, yoga, and travel photography are also provided for free, but they are more suitable for young couples. With a family like us, it is actually difficult to have a "schedule", haha.
☕️ Dining
❶. Food overview: The quality of breakfast is at the bottom among the 27 Indigo stores in China. The variety and quality need to be greatly improved. The variety of food itself is small. If the replenishment is not timely, it will make things worse. For example, smoked salmon , the replenishment is too slow, and sometimes it is not replenished at all, which is really shocking. In addition, the white tablecloths in the back room should be replaced with other colors, such as light blue, Indigo’s VI representative color, because white is too easy to get dirty, and the store cannot change the tablecloths after every customer. Therefore, if you are not The first wave of dining guests will have to face a table full of "spots", which is really not a good look; lunch (11:30-14:00) and dinner (17:30-20:00) can also be served at Rushi Restaurant At zero o'clock, the Beijing-style stir-fried chicken was too substandard and the chicken ingredients were too poor; the vermicelli shrimps were not deveined; the garlic chicken wings were well received by the two sons; there are 7 private rooms upstairs in the restaurant, and there is no low consumption. The number of people it can accommodate ranges from 8 to 16 people. In the future, several more restaurants will be opened next to Rushi Restaurant. In any case, we still have to thank Li Min from the restaurant for reserving a seat for us every day, and the service is also very attentive and thoughtful, setting a good banner and example for hotel service; afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the lobby bar (Ruoshui), which has an outdoor area;
❷. Urban Gourmet: The "Life Market" next to the skateboard bowl is a sophisticated supermarket. There is a bakery on the right. The business hours are 9:30-21:00 every day. Because the bread in the hotel breakfast is too unpalatable, I eat it every day. I bought sea salt rolls for my two sons here as a toothpaste. They are really delicious (especially the freshly baked ones). There is an outdoor dining and rest area at the door. The Internet Celebrity Library is not far from the red trestle. On the first floor is "Chun Shui Sencha" (there is also one in the city). The various special concoctions they produce are very good. Like other restaurants in the park, hotel guests enjoy a 10% discount. As for The 15% discount for IHG diamond members can only be enjoyed at Rushi Restaurant. In addition, the indoor children's playground is also here. Shijiu Bar is on the seaside, specializing in British-style fish and chips; the First Canteen and the seafood department are integrated, both next to the fountain. The former is a self-selected restaurant similar to IKEA, with a wide variety of dishes at low prices; the latter is a la carte , there are freshly made seafood and grilled skewers. There are 18 must-eat restaurants in Qinhuangdao. If you go to Changli County, the drive takes about 20 minutes. The seafood dumplings of "Daihexiang" are very affordable; if you go to Haigang District, the drive takes about an hour and a half. What's up with the owner of "Daobangzi" roast beef? They are all hands-on and very kind.
🏊 Hardware facilities Facilities
❶. Hotel environment: The water park requires a separate fee. It has outdoor areas, indoor play areas, standard swimming pools, hot dog and ice cream kiosks. Food is often out of stock, and there is only one waiter, who is very busy. All places in the park can be reached by the following methods: walking (actually not too far, with such good greenery, it would be great for a morning run or walk), taking the park’s free bus, calling the hotel’s exclusive battery car, renting a battery car, renting a Bicycles and self-driving (if you report your license plate, you can park and drive in the park for free, hotel guests only). The hotel has only 90 rooms and has a low floor area ratio. It will not be bustling like Aranya and is very peaceful. I have to mention the security at the side door. Logically speaking, residents are only allowed to drive in and out through the front door, but some people can drive in and out through the side door. When it was our turn, the security guard sternly refused. There is no unified regulation. This is bad and unprofessional;
❷. Recreation and fitness: The gym, reading area, yoga room and SPA are all in the corridor area of the lobby building and are fully equipped. The outdoor swimming pool is opposite the lake area of the restaurant and has a large pool and a small pool. Whether you go to the swimming pool or the beach (there are beach football and volleyball facilities, and a very professional skateboard bowl), or you go to the outdoor park (several jungle projects are very popular with children), or the tent area (there is a BBQ food truck selling simple meals) etc. It is recommended to go there in the morning, because after noon it will be very hot and sunny, the slides will burn your buttocks, there will be a lot of people, and there will be a lot of mosquitoes at night. In addition, the hotel also has fee-based basketball courts, tennis courts, afternoon tea on cruise ships, sailing yachts and many other items.
🌟 unforgettable moments the Moments
❶. Star employees: Almost every employee can achieve the true and ultimate "seeing in all directions and hearing in all directions". It is really not like a pure new hotel that has just opened, making people feel bright; the front office Manager Li Xia Tian (Hannah) once worked in a well-known hotel in Southeast Asia. She has rich experience in high-end luxury hotels and is familiar with everything. Whether it was adding an extra bed to our room, checking in with us every day, or explaining the layout of the park to us, they all showed an indescribable sincerity and were extremely grateful. Of course, no matter how good a pot of porridge is, there will always be one or two mouse droppings. This is inevitable. For example, the aunt in the guest room was very domineering. When we were about to check out, she asked why we hadn't checked out yet. I explained to her I have already applied for the extended check-out privilege of Diamond membership, but she is still unhappy. The subtext is that it will affect her cleaning of the room, her follow-up arrangements and rest. That aggressive expression made me feel that she is the one who He is a domineering resident, and I am a worker, haha (however, recruiting workers nearby, especially these old aunts, has indeed revitalized the job market in Qinhuangdao, and it has played an important role). In addition, there is a male employee in the front office who doesn't know what "turndown" means, and the daily turndown service provided by the housekeeping department is also quite perfunctory, sloppy, and casual. Not only does there not be a turndown gift or turndown dessert, there are even many I don’t know how to replace the spare parts that need to be replaced. This really needs to be improved;
❷. Number of stays: This hotel was officially opened at the end of June and early July this year. It was the first time for our family of four to stay. We originally planned to stay for a week, but it conflicted with other itineraries, so we only stayed for four days and three nights. Night. Other Indigo stores opened this year include Lugu Lake and Yantai Indigo stores. Among domestic Indigo, the first echelon is Alishan Indigo and Anji Indigo; the third echelon is Taipei Dazhi Indigo and Hong Kong Island Indigo; the remaining 23 companies belong to the third echelon. Second echelon; Indigo that has had its license withdrawn or changed includes Indigo Tianjin Haihe, Indigo Hongqiao, Indigo Hsinchu Taiwan, etc.
📍 Brief summary Conclusion
❶. Wonderful moment: The hotel’s developer is Hebei’s well-known “Hongxing” (which has nothing to do with Macalline’s “Red Star”). Its industries include steel, cultural tourism, wineries, real estate, etc., and its strength is incredible. Underestimation; from the very beginning of the hotel, the employees were very motivated and thought of ways to promote themselves. During our stay, the building next door was hired to shoot a promotional video. This positive attitude is something that everyone in the hotel should learn from. and appreciative;
❷. Unfortunately, in terms of hardware, we need to improve the details. For example, in Room 6212, the up and down switch of the roller shutter on the patio is broken, the air conditioner and fresh air cannot be completely turned off, and the door of Room 6211 next door has been under repair. The ceiling (maybe the line is being repaired), but the only drawback is that the colleagues in the engineering department responded very quickly. The natural ecology of the park is excellent, so the occasional mosquitoes and mice are inevitable, but the probability of encountering them is extremely low. On the one hand, the guest rooms are equipped with mosquito killers; on the other hand, the park will also spray pesticides appropriately. Don't worry too much. The network at the beach is still relatively poor. Sometimes there is only 4G in open areas. Fortunately, each indoor place has its own Wi-Fi. In addition, the hotel area can also be connected to the IHG network.
