It was a family trip to the spa resort, and we booked one night with a lake view. The landscape was beautiful, but the guest rooms felt a bit old, showing signs of age. The toilet facilities were weak, and the refrigerator did not work properly, but apart from that there were no major issues during our stay.
The resort itself is quite large, so it’s easy to get lost while walking around—especially at night when the hallways become dark. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the directions. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, doing their best to communicate using a translation app.
Since the resort is located slightly away from the main city, calling a Didi taxi may take some time, which can make going out at night a bit difficult. However, the on-site restaurant offers a wide variety of reasonably priced dishes. The spa facilities were superb and very enjoyable. The outdoor swimming pool tasted salty—perhaps it’s seawater, though I’m not completely sure.
Breakfast was also satisfying, with American-style options available. Overall, the stay was pleasant. I’d be curious to try other rooms in the future, as some looked newly renovated with modern fixtures.

ゲゲストExtremely clean, very large space with excellent aircon and water pressure. The room has an attached ”kitchen”, which I did not know was included! It was a terrific space, and would be especially great for families or large groups. There are no restaurants in this location, only the breakfast facility. Breakfast was Chinese buffet breakfast, with several options and was satisfactory. You can also eat breakfast on their outdoor patio, which was pleasant! Sadly, the coffee shop was not open when I was there. I walked about 15 minutes down the beachfront to another hotel's coffee shop--it was nice but expensive. The location is very close to the bridge leading to Yangma Island and the bus stop is nearby. The beach directly across from the hotel is a giant mud-flat beach. It is NOT a swimming or bathing beach! When tide is in, it is very flat and shallow, when tide is out, it is muddy and you can take a bucket to find little creatures. There is not a good swimming beach at this location, but I took a bus northwest to go swimming.
Service was friendly, but non-Chinese guests should use patience--the friendly ladies at the desk do not speak English. They are helpful to find food/snacks/shops nearby.
Overall, it feels like staying in a small apartment rather than a hotel, with nice plants around the property and a homey feeling.

ゲゲストA old hotel and the photos look different from actual site. Nonetheless, the service from the staff was wonderful and excellent, especially 小陈, really appreciate her help in recommendation of local food and iterinery shared by her. My room's toilet bowl was choked and was rectified immediately
RReshma TThis hotel is in 云海湾海景LOFT度假公寓C3(青岛火车站金茂湾购物中心店)(Yunhaiwan Seaview Loft Holiday Apartment C3 (Qingdao Railway Station Jinmaowan Shopping Center). The reception is on the 3rd floor room 301 and out room was the the 11th floor. The loft is very basic, the bathroom has soap, shampoo and the water pressure with hot and cold works. There is a wash machine, no soaps for it though. There is a boiler for coffee but no utensils. I think since there is NO house keeping, the hotel should provide more toilet paper and tissues and towels, especially when staying almost week. The location is convenient, right across the street from the Jinmao Shopping mall with a big supermarket inside the mall one level below. The walk along thr ocean is very nice with lots of locals walking around taking pictures. So many restaurants nearby. And with DiDI App you can get around easily to do sightseeing. You get picked up right in front of the Apt.C3 building. All in all this place is good to stay at. And with Google translate we got by as English is not spoken.
