Hotel ratings by criteria:
Yesterday we returned from a trip and we have very mixed impressions. 1. Climate. Tropics. Damp, humid, stuffy. 2. Livestock. A lot of insects: mosquitoes (small ones, they don’t buzz), ants (they hang out by the refrigerator in the room), and once we were honored by the presence of a spider (8-10 cm in diameter). Lizards, quite cute, constantly lived behind the TV set. There are a lot of rats, they can be found everywhere: in the pool, and on palm trees, and in cafes. And the biggest minus is jellyfish! Huge and poisonous. During the week (first) it was impossible to swim in the sea! And then it was scary. 3. Hotel. The territory is small, but cozy and well-groomed. There are 2 pools, they are cleaned every day, and, most importantly, you can swim in them ANYWHERE! time of day or night. 4. Number. There is only one room, but big. Shower, toilet, washbasin. No balcony. The bed is very big! Change of towels every day, bedding - if necessary (we have changed 8-10 times in 2 weeks). Electric kettle , 2 mugs (no teaspoons), 2 glasses. 2 pairs of rubber slates. Every day they put a tooth. brushes and paste, shampoos, gels, soap, comb, shower cap, black and green tea. Cleaning every day (although they rinse the rag in the toilet bowl, but it’s normal). 5. Nutrition. a) At the hotel. Buffet. The choice of dishes is quite diverse, from boiled beets to dumplings (mysterious, with weed))), from drinks - coffee, black tea, cola and 2-3 types of juice), for dessert-cookies, biscuits, pineapples, watermelon, oranges. In my opinion, there are plenty to choose from. There is no bread, only its sweetish rice counterpart. b) Outside the hotel. I love Chinese cuisine, seafood, fruits, and all this was in abundance, so I had no problems with lunch and dinner. There is a cafe on the seashore, where you can choose shish kebabs from seafood, meat, chicken (they will be fried for you on the grill), but you should immediately clarify not sharply (they already understand this). Directly at the exit from the hotel after 8 pm, they also put up barbecues and cook similar kebabs (from 2 to 20 Yu. per piece). To the right of the main entrance (if you stand with your back), there is a trolley in front of the supermarket, on which they cook homemade noodles with greens and, again, marine reptiles. And if you turn to face the sea, you will see a cart with a brazier for cooking large and tasty pancakes. We also ate in cafe 6 (shesterochka), fried shrimp in batter for 30 yuan, just waste. This is already to the left of the main entrance, along the road to the first turn, again to the left and on the left side we are looking for a blue fence (wall). For lovers of Russian cuisine, Berezka restaurant is nearby (2-3 bus stops, exit after the turn and cross the road), when you get a business card, you will call a taxi (round-trip delivery is free). By the way, on Sundays they have Peking Duck 2 times cheaper (98 yuan). 6. Staff. The Chinese are polite and helpful. The reception always has at least one Russian-speaking guide who will always help. Pegasus guides, as always, the standard of rudeness, laziness, arrogance and greed. They are probably cloned and sent by parcels all over the world! The star of the hotel is Evgenia! On the first day, it was ORDERED not to leave the hotel, not to go to the sea, allegedly because there were no stamps on the voucher. But in fact, so that they don’t have time to talk with tourists who are already resting, find out the prices for tours from non-Pegasus, where, in addition to the expensive Tavern, you can eat, etc. 7. Excursions. The island is very beautiful, there is something to see. If you don’t have enough money, then you can take tours from Pegasus, the bus guides worked perfectly, if you save, then from the Chinese (for example, Kolya, ask around for a long time vacationers, for sure someone has a phone, or maybe he himself will come to beach). You can go on your own. We ourselves went to the Nan Shan Buddhism Center (by bus 26 from the stop right outside the hotel, drive 30-40 minutes to the final one, and you won’t get lost there). I liked it in the villages of Li and Miao, on the monkey island, on the thermal ones, in the orchid park. Nan Shan is out of competition! Butterflies are nothing, fishing is bullshit. Review is a brazen advertising scam for money. Do not buy anything! More expensive at times! The same shark fat in the state. pharmacy costs 5 times cheaper. 8. Shopping. Shops are all in Dadonghai, the main one is Winter-Summer. Ask a Chinese hotel guide to write Winter-Summer in Chinese on a piece of paper and at the entrance to the bus (8.25, stop across the road) show the driver or conductor, they will tell you the price (it depends on the distance of the trip) and if several times, poking at a piece of paper, ask again whether to go out here))), they will show where to go out. In Winter, cheap silk (a blanket from 200 yu. ), a pharmacy, souvenirs. In Lethe - expensive, but high quality. We bought tea from Volodya in the ChaiOk store (go back 1 stop, 3rd to the left of the Hawaii hotel). Shows the tea ceremony, try any one you want, speaks good Russian. So tea the Concubine of the Emperor on the survey was offered for 310 yu. for 250 g. (in a beautiful cardboard box), we bought for 110 yu. (but in simple packaging, although the same boxes are on sale). The pearls of the kunek are junk, if you want a real one, you will have to fork out in the jewelry department of Summer (expensive). You can also look at the pedestrian street, but there is no jewelry there (although they scream that everything is made of silver). 9. Sea, beach. Sea across the road with a very busy traffic, annoying. There is no beach of its own, there are several hotel sunbeds (mattresses for a fee-20 yu. , we did without them). Our bags were stolen twice. Then, when the jellyfish were gone, we went to the beach near the cafe, there are security and video surveillance. Before that, we went swimming in Yalunvan for a week. Far but worth it. The sea is warm, gentle, the sand is soft and clean. . . Dream! 10. Honey. centers, treatment. Treatment was not our goal, but after the flight, my husband got a backache. Go. Went in a group of 10 people. , the diagnosis is the same for everyone, the treatment is the same for everyone - general massage and herbs. Summing up, I’ll say, if you are in the mood to have a good rest, then neither jellyfish nor Evgenia will interfere with you. The sea is magnificent, nature is awesome, people are good, the air is clean! Have a good rest! )))
