Great facility. They have 37 different hot spring pools. We tried thd rec wine, citronella, lemon balm, rose petals, dragon, crowching tiger and that wonderful fish one (this was normal temperature) where the fish nibnle at thedead skin in youf feet.

The springs were well shaded and relaxing. There was also a great swimming area for families, these springs arebeautifully maintained.

We went with a Chinese guide as there was not a lot of Englush spoken bug would recommend if in the area spend a day here.

Jrn.

There are better places to stay

We stayed here for six days in October. The hotel was supposed to have someone pick us up at the airport and no one showed up. We had to borrow someone's mobile phone and call the hotel. The driver eventually did show up but we waited about 30 minutes for a six or so minute ride to the hotel. The do not drive you back to the airport, for this we used a taxi.

When we arrived at the hotel none of the three people behind the desk knew how to work the credit card machine. I was asked to leave a cash deposit until the next day at which time someone would be in who knew how to use the machine which turned out to be the case.

We had an ocean view room. The view is good and the room itself was fair sized. There was a mini-bar menu on the counter but no mini bar. There was a small refrigerator but it did not work. The balcony was small, and had two air conditioners on the wall which not only were noisy but blew hot air across the balcony which was great for drying clothes but made sitting on the balcony uncomfortable.

The bed was basically a piece of plywood with a piece of cloth stapled over it. It was uncomfortable. The room had internet which worked well after changing the cable. The only English language channel on the TV was Bloomberg. The bathroom smelled of urine throughout our stay despite daily cleaning. I think the smell came from the floor drain, but we kept the door closed and the fan on all the time to ventilate the bathroom. The bathroom was poorly lit and the clothes line was across the sink, so if anything was placed on it to dry, you could not get to the sink.

The closet door would not close, so I had to unscrew the light bulb or else it was on constantly.

There was tea, cups and a hot water heater in the room. We used the tea the first night and it was never replaced throughout our stay, nor were the tea cups which I used for coffee each day replaced or cleaned.

Breakfast was included and it was basically hit or miss. It was mostly Chinese, with steamed buns, fake ham, rice, etc. The first day we were there, we were given a fried egg. The second day we were handed a menu and told that we had our choice of a friend egg plus some fake ham, real bacon, a hot dog and a few other things. The third day we were told there were no fried eggs but there were hard boiled eggs at the buffet.

As far as I could tell, I was the only westerner at the hotel. I asked the clerk if many westerners stay at the hotel. He told me they do and they are usually Russians.

The beach is an easy stroll but is full of annoying vendors and people on motorcycles with sidecars wanting to take you to a specific restaurant for 2 yuan.

You can book tours through the hotel, but we found that taxi drivers were willing to take you to the sites for less. The only difficulty would be that I doubt if you will find any that speak English.
