Hotel is very beautiful and well designed. Rooms are spacious with everything you need. I was however disappointed with the condition of the towels. Our’s had holes in them and they seemed old and dated. There was no room service available from the hotel, and you had to order from another restaurant if you wanted something to eat. Breakfast the next morning was a terrible let down!! There was a very small variety of items, and the lady in charge was not very friendly at all. The coffee was good though. My wife only had toast and some fruit, and I stocked up on eggs and toast. We felt very disappointed that the hotel is super pricy, but they could not provide a great breakfast or some form of room service. I think for these reasons I will not return to this hotel.
NNatasha PutterMy kids and I spent a week in Qingdao and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It turned out to be a lovely getaway. The room was clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and offered a stunning ocean view—plus, we were treated to fireworks every evening right from our window, which was a magical touch.
Breakfast was available every morning with a good range of options; we appreciated the variety. Room service was a hit with the kids—they couldn’t get enough of the spaghetti bolognaise and popcorn chicken! I personally enjoyed the club sandwich and the beef noodles.
We devoted an entire day to the water park, where the kids had an absolute blast. Although some parts of it could use renovation, it didn’t dampen our fun.
One of our favorite activities was cruising around the resort on four-wheel e-bikes—it felt like a private adventure since much of the area was quiet and fairly abandoned, but that added a special charm.
The beach is also just across the road, so you can go play in the sand at any time, there are also some men who offer horse and jet ski rides right on the beach. The beach also isn’t too crowded.
The only drawback was the resort’s location. It’s quite far from most of Qingdao’s main attractions, so every excursion required at least an hour-long Didi ride. Still, the experience was well worth it, and we genuinely enjoyed our stay. We’d absolutely return again.
