Rizhao Budget Hotels: Every Frame is a Scenic Stay

Rizhao Budget Hotels: Every Frame is a Scenic Stay

In-depth Experience at the Sheraton Rizhao: A Multifaceted Analysis of a Cost-Effective Choice I recently checked in to the Sheraton Rizhao and had a rich and unique experience. Here's a detailed account of my stay. 💰️Average cost per person: The hotel's prices vary significantly between peak and off-seasons. During the 2024 summer vacation, a standard city-view room cost over 1,000 CNY; in mid-September 2024, a standard ocean-view room was just over 500 CNY; and in February 2025, the cheapest room was available for just over 400 CNY. The off-season offers incredibly high value for your money. 🏘️Room types/layout: The rooms are large and relatively new, and both city-view and ocean-view rooms have large balconies. There are a limited number of suites, including two ambassador suites and two ocean-view suites. I stayed in both ocean-view suites for a day each; room 01 is near the sailing center, and room 71 is near the bridge. The suites are well-designed, spacious, and comfortable. 🛌Amenities/facilities: The refrigerators in standard rooms are empty, while the suites are stocked with items. The suites are equipped with Dyson hair dryers and soft-bristled toothbrushes, which are very comfortable. The rooms are decorated in the new-generation Sheraton style, with a youthful feel, electric curtains, and JBL speakers. In the bathroom, the main toilet is a basic smart toilet (without automatic lid opening). The executive lounge is on the 12th floor and is spacious, with plenty of window seats for enjoying the ocean view, making it ideal for small gatherings with friends. The pool is on the first floor and is operated by a third party. The changing rooms are well-maintained, and the pool is relatively large compared to similar hotels. There weren't many people swimming on the day I checked in. However, the route from the gym reception to the pool is complicated. 🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: The soundproofing is excellent, with minimal outside noise in the rooms, allowing for a peaceful rest. The cleanliness is also good, with both the rooms and public areas kept tidy and spotless. 💗Other tips: 1. The hotel is located near Wanpingkou in the Rizhao tourist area, offering beautiful sunrise views over the sea, but it's a bit of a walk from Wanpingkou Beach. 2. The executive treatment doesn't include a complimentary two-piece ironing service. The welcome fruit used to be a combination of fruit and snacks, but now it's just fruit. 3. Some of the cold dishes in the lounge are leftovers from breakfast. The hot dishes, such as beef rolls, crab sticks, and basa fish fillets, have a strong fishy smell, the soup is too salty, and the small cakes aren't very good. However, the afternoon tea on the second day included chocolate lava cake. The specialty fried dough twists with sauce and pancakes are delicious, and the breakfast includes duck blood vermicelli soup. The fried dough sticks were too dry. 4. There's a very enthusiastic older gentleman in customer support, but apart from the housekeeping staff, other employees weren't very proactive in greeting guests during my stay. 5. The hotel refunds the deposit the day after check-out, not on the same day or at the time of check-out. 6. Breakfast is served in the Feast Western Restaurant on the 1st floor. It offers a wide variety of options, incorporating local Rizhao specialties such as pancakes and tofu, but the bakery selection is limited. Overall, the Sheraton Rizhao is a good choice, especially during the off-season when it offers excellent value. While there's room for improvement in service and some facility details, it still provides a comfortable stay.

Rizhao, Shandong! A budget-friendly hotel worth a second visit!! It's so nice to stay here!!

Rizhao, Shandong! A budget-friendly hotel worth a second visit!! It's so nice to stay here!!

Sheraton Rizhao: A great choice for a family beach vacation 1. Excellent location The hotel is in a prime location, near the Wanpingkou Scenic Area on the golden coastline. Just open the window to enjoy the beautiful view of the lighthouse. The hotel is also conveniently located near the scenic area and the beach. 2. Comfortable room experience We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite. The sea view room on the 7th floor has a large balcony with a great view of the lighthouse and the World Sailing Base. The room is about 100 square meters, spacious and comfortable, with a 60+ inch TV in both the bedroom and living room. The amenities are of high quality, and the Dyson hair dryer adds a touch of luxury. 3. Rich dining options Breakfast is satisfying, with delicious omelets, local specialties such as Haishazi noodles and Rizhao pancakes, and a variety of food for babies to meet different tastes. The executive lounge is on the top floor, with a beautiful view and a balcony area. Some people think the lounge is small, but if you open the door on the left, there is a large area and an open-air viewing platform. The quality of afternoon tea and dinner is also good, providing guests with a relaxing time. 4. Complete facilities The hotel has good swimming pool facilities, with pools of different sizes. The small pool is designed for young children, but the water temperature is slightly lower, so children usually prefer to swim in the large pool. The bathroom is equipped with a sauna, providing guests with more leisure options. There is a children's play area on the first floor of the hotel, which is small but provides a place for children to play. Unfortunately, there is a fee. 5. Nearby activities There are a variety of activities near the hotel. It is only about 1 km from the Wanpingkou Scenic Area, where adults and children can enjoy the beach. You can swipe your card to go out and experience water activities such as fishing, sailing, and speedboats, adding excitement and fun to your vacation.

Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area controlled me for a whole day

Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area controlled me for a whole day

Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area controlled me for a whole day. The lighthouse is really impressive. Although it is not very large, it gives me a sense of serene awe, a feeling of being isolated from the world. In a scene where the background color is either blue, gray, or green, its whiteness stands out so clearly that you can only see it at a glance! I didn't even let the driver drive close. When we were still far away, I asked to stop the car and walked over myself. Watching it grow from a tiny dot to right in front of me, this feeling is really wonderful! When there aren't many cars, standing in the middle of the road can produce very Japanese-style photos. Once inside, besides the sea, you can also see large lawns. Don't overlook this grass; this kind of green is very healthy and pleasing to the eyes. Besides being very photogenic, you can also find shade to rest when tired. The lighthouse area is not suitable for catching the sea, nor does it have entertainment projects. It is really prepared for people who simply want to see the sea, feel the sea, enjoy the sea breeze, and enjoy life. Here, don't rush to be a special forces soldier; instead, empty your mind, forget the difficulties at work and the unhappiness in life. At this moment, you are the only one in your world. The lighthouse is one of the few places where you can see both the sunrise and the sunset. Of course, the sunrise is definitely more beautiful! The sunset is just a small one (there are not many places in Rizhao to watch the sunset). The tide is still very obvious at night, so be sure to pay attention to safety. At this time, you should stay away from the reefs.

Rizhao | A Niche City, Emphasizing Casual Play

Rizhao, a city suitable for roaming and relaxation. I like the feeling this city gives me, with a very high cost-performance ratio. In the four days of March 2023 in Rizhao, I felt the unique atmosphere of Rizhao, with casual play and casual feelings. 🕐️DAY 1: Morning: Took the high-speed train from Shanghai to Rizhao in the morning Afternoon: Had a dental appointment due to a toothache on the first day Evening: Strolled around Dongyi Town (Accommodation: Atour Hotel near Dongyi Town) 🕐️DAY 2: Morning: Took a taxi to Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park, Lunch near the seafood market. Afternoon: Coffee time Evening: University Town Night Market. 🕐️DAY 3: A day trip to Ju County, focusing on Fulaishan and mutton soup, experienced a very cost-effective bus ride. 🕐️DAY 4: Walked around Shanhaitian Tourist Resort, strolled around Dongyi Town during the day Afternoon: Took the high-speed train back to Shanghai 💗Other tips: Highly recommend a very cost-effective restaurant— Chuan Shang Piao Xiang Seafood (Dongyi Town Branch) Their flavored eggplant is really delicious. The seafood is very cost-effective and extremely fresh. Much better than the restaurants by the sea. There are thousands of Rizhao guides, but I emphasize casualness.

Shandong Short-Distance Travel: Hotel Recommendations for the Mini-Holiday

Shandong Short-Distance Travel: Hotel Recommendations for the Mini-Holiday

Recently, I chose the incredibly beautiful Rizhao for a suburban trip, which gives a quiet and comfortable feeling. The poetic natural scenery, the blue sea, the golden beaches, and the lush tea gardens make it a perfect place for living, traveling, vacationing, and life. This time, I stayed at the Rizhao Sheraton Hotel again. It's really nice. It feels like the mini-holiday is coming soon, and everyone who comes here to play can stay here. The transportation is very convenient; it's just a ten-minute walk to Wanpingkou, and the surrounding facilities are very complete. Moreover, the service is very enthusiastic. Since I am a Marriott Platinum member, they proactively upgraded me to a suite when I checked in. The location and view are really amazing~ The hotel room environment is also very good, very comfortable, and the experience is superb! This season, the cost-performance ratio is really explosive, and the staff's attitude is very good, able to solve any problems promptly. Oh right, their buffet is also very delicious, and it feels great to have a package with double breakfast included! The most, most, most important thing is that the living environment in the room is really nice, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the automatic curtains open to let in superb natural light~ The hygiene aspect is also well taken care of, making the stay very reassuring and comfortable~

Rizhao Stop 5: Wanpingkou Ocean Park

Rizhao Stop 5: Wanpingkou Ocean Park

Visit Wanpingkou Ocean Park, a free attraction along the 61.8 km Sunshine Coast. Here, you can enjoy the sea, sky, pine trees, beaches, reefs, and wetlands. There are many love-themed photo spots along the coast, and visitors love taking photos here. I want to find the stepping stones built to protect the crabs' habitat at the junction of fresh and salt water. I heard that they were made by embedding stones from old houses in coastal fishing villages into the water. There are gaps between the stones, so people walk on the stones and crabs walk in the gaps. If I ever bring my kids here, I will definitely look for this place. If you have time, you can also visit the Sunrise Bar, Day Tea Night Wine, Water Healing, Beach Camping, and other popular attractions.

First stop after quitting: Rizhao!!!

First stop after quitting: Rizhao!!!

Hello, dear friends of dear Lin Fengmian!!! Long time no see, I miss you so much💛 I finally quit my job in the system Made a difficult and brave decision for 2024!! Why did I resign? There are many reasons (I'll tell you secretly next time) One thing is for sure, I still have places I want to go~ far away~ Uh~ let's get back Let's talk about Rizhao Rizhao is very beautiful, my suggestion is Many internet-famous spots are crowded, like dumplings in a pot 🚗 Driving past Wanpingkou and Lighthouse Scenic Area There are so many people that it makes you doubt life Shanhaitian Sunshine Coast, the traffic is very congested!! My suggestion is if you don't have a strong desire to take beautiful photos You can give up!! If you insist on taking photos, I suggest rushing before dawn!!! 🌟 Recommended spots to visit 1️⃣ Rizhao Aesthetic Museum It's a hotel🏨, very friendly, you can take your dog in for photos Most of the life photos from this Rizhao trip were taken here No charge if you don't stay, and the environment is very good if you do Suitable for watching the sunrise here You can also go to the beach🏖️ here to catch the sea 2️⃣ Sunshine Coast Camping Park Fine sand, blue water, blue sky, and tender green grass, the coastline is very long, very suitable for camping and watching the sunrise🌅, the atmosphere here is very good, and it is also a pet-friendly free🆓 spot 🌟 Food ❤️ Recommended Qiao's Eight Bowls, authentic Shandong cuisine Rich fish soup with a bite of bouncy shrimp cake🦐 With a bite of braised sea cucumber rice,🧜 🦞 Another bite of fresh seafood in sauce It really completes the day The shrimp cake is the MVP of the whole meal, really full and solid fresh shrimp meat Very little starch, different from the shrimp cakes I've had before 15 yuan each, really feels worth the money ⚫️ Not recommended Roadside seafood stalls, tried two Without exception, the seafood had a strong fishy smell The cooking was also quite rough It can be said that it lacked color, aroma, and taste😑 After eating, it made me doubt life Made me wonder if the ingredients were not fresh? Or is this just how they cook in this area? ⚠️ Attention 1️⃣🏝️ The ultraviolet rays by the sea are strong, be sure to do a good job of sun protection!! 2️⃣ When looking for food, try to avoid those big stalls without a price list, easy to get ripped off 3️⃣ There are thousands of online recommendations for small seafood shops, be careful to verify their authenticity 4️⃣ There are too many people by the sea, 🅿️ parking is a problem, plan well if driving
