Resort Intime is perhaps the best hotel in Dadonghai Bay. Yes, and Dadonghai Bay has advantages over others in terms of infrastructure. Right at the exit there are shops, cafes, a street for a walk.
The hotel is good, clean. I will not compare and evaluate the star rating of the hotel. This is China, the country in which the tour. business is relatively young and there are almost no foreigners, except for Russians. Russians are also few. Therefore, everything is designed primarily for the Chinese. Nevertheless, the hotel corresponds to the declared 5 stars both in terms of territory and rooms, perhaps more modest than in Dubai or Egypt), but still ....
The staff is friendly, courteous, polite. As elsewhere in Asia, if you are good, then so are you. rudeness or stupidity is not noticed.
Languages ​ ​ for communication - Chinese and Russian. You can forget about your English) You will not need it anywhere in China.

In tourist areas, as a rule, everyone understands a little Russian and you can explain yourself, although not without difficulty.
Unfortunately (or maybe vice versa), there are few shops where you can spend money, usually cheap small things, souvenirs, etc. etc. , there are few normal goods (it is necessary to go to Hong Kong), there are few foreigners here, therefore there are few European-style goods. It is worth saying that in any store you have to bargain. the first price is usually 2-3 times higher than the one for which you can actually take. It's a bit tiring...but that's the local tradition. The Chinese themselves are honest people, you will not be deceived and will not cheat, but the price will be broken at every corner. Bargaining should be done calmly and understand one important thing! The price drops not from your activity and perseverance, but from the time spent in the store, that is, if you decide to buy something and want to reduce the price, take 15-30 minutes for the process, depending on how much you want to lower the price.
This is a process of time, not chatter (leave, come again, look and look and the price will fall like in a fairy tale). If you decide to buy something expensive, jewelry for example. I advise you to stretch the process for a couple of days and you will get the desired price) Just do not rush to name your price, because later it may turn out that you overpaid 2 times (or name yours 2 times less than what you are willing to pay). You should not be embarrassed if, after your price, the seller pretends that you are an idiot and there are no such prices in nature, this is the usual behavior of the seller, you, in turn, can also react to their prices. Verified personally, when buying jewelry in the south. store right in front of the hotel. In general, you won’t be able to buy cheap quickly, if you want cheap stock up on patience and time.

You can have lunch and dinner anywhere. There are many cafes with live fish around, there is Russian cuisine. The food is delicious and inexpensive.

I advise the restaurant "Blue Lotus" (it's right opposite the hotel and cafe "Lena" if anyone misses Russian food, there is an excellent barbecue, the Russian guy Andrey makes it. By the way, he can answer many questions and advise in a different way.
There are also many cafes on the shore, mostly Chinese, everything is tasty and not expensive. There is a USSR cafe where you can drink beer and dance. BUT! is there contraindicated! The food there is bad and tasteless. Although the waiters are nice guys. In general, I don’t recommend eating in the USSR, if they don’t poison you, you won’t like it for sure! The manager there is some kind of "our" Caucasian, it's clear that he takes food somewhere in the garbage heap for cheap. Do not under any circumstances eat there! We got drunk and ate a salad with bones, that was enough))

Sea! The sea is excellent, the beach is wide and long. Sand.
The hotel does not prohibit night swimming in the pools, as well as in the sea.
There are massages and a cafe on the beach.
In general, I recommend.
