Changli Hotels with Free Breakfast

This was my first time celebrating my birthday in Aranya, and I chose what's considered the best hotel here. It truly lives up to its reputation and is worth every penny, immediately setting the bar high for future trips! We had a wonderful and delightful three-day, two-night stay. If I ever come back, I'll definitely choose this place again! **Environment:** Extremely comfortable, a quiet haven amidst the bustle. A small gate leads directly to the beach in just a three-minute walk. Non-guests aren't allowed in, and the soundproofing is excellent, offering maximum privacy. There was no noise at night, ensuring a very high quality of sleep. Relaxing by the pool was incredibly pleasant. **Hygiene:** Excellent. Supplies were replenished promptly, and the room was tidied. Turn-down service was provided at appropriate times. No insects, and the dehumidification worked very quickly. **Facilities:** Upscale and modern, ergonomically designed. The in-room bar offered a wide variety of drinks, including beer, soda, cola, and water. Umbrellas were provided at the room entrance and were of high quality; during a strong gust of wind, other umbrellas failed, but the hotel's umbrella held up perfectly. **Service:** The front desk communicated with us in advance to confirm our arrival time and high-speed train schedule. A professional partner car service picked us up; although we booked a comfortable car for two, a business car arrived, and the driver was very patient – incredible value for money! There's a WeChat group where all requests were quickly responded to and resolved. The service was thoughtful, attentive, and respectful of boundaries. A big thank you to General Manager Rosalie Luo, Front Office Manager Li Bin, Restaurant Manager Peter, and Private Service Managers KIKI, Levi, Kelly & Leo for helping us book restaurants, handling purchases and pick-ups, and recommending delicious food in advance. Upon arrival, we were offered afternoon tea and a guided tour of the park. When it hailed on Sunday, they immediately offered to bring us an umbrella. Transfers to any location in Phases 1-9 were always prompt. Since it was my birthday, they thoughtfully decorated the room and surprised me with a small cake, which was delicious! 😋

I stayed here for five nights during the Spring Festival and never got tired of it. The cat in the loft room is very happy and jumps up and down. When we first checked in, we could still smell something like 🐶 as soon as we entered the room and on the pet mat on the second floor (because we have a dog at home, but we didn't bring it out this time), but it didn't affect us much. Later, it either dissipated or we got used to it. The door of the room leads directly to the outdoors, so it is a bit cold when you open the door in winter. Also, it is easy to dirty the floor once you enter the room, and small animals are running around in the house, so you have to pay more attention, change your shoes quickly, and wipe them clean. The cleaning lady provides sufficient supplies every day, which is a very good feeling. It saves the trouble of calling and having them delivered if something is missing, and the place is also kept very clean. It might be too cold a few days before the Spring Festival. It was very cold at night on the first floor of tatami. The warm air from the air conditioner could not reach there, and there was no floor heating there, so people could not sleep there. After a few days the temperature came up and everything was fine. I don’t know if they can install floor heating or other heating measures there in the future. I will stay there again and hope it gets better.

The service was incredibly welcoming. This was our first time bringing our kids to Aranya, and we chose to stay at the Anlan Hotel. We had a king-size room for two adults and two children, which also had a sofa bed, so there was plenty of space for all four of us. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to get everywhere. The children's play area downstairs was a big hit with the kids, and the hotel breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options that the kids absolutely loved. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we'll definitely choose Anlan Hotel again for our next trip to Aranya!

The room design is quite stylish, and the service is excellent. Since I was traveling with elderly family members, they provided point-to-point transfers to help us get around the resort. We even received a complimentary photoshoot from Muse Travel, which was a fantastic experience. In the past, I always stayed at guesthouses in Phase 6, but this time I realized the hotels within the resort are also a great option.

Environment: Absolutely fantastic, clean and comfortable. I forgot to take a picture of my room on the 3rd floor, but it had a small balcony with a direct sea view. The room was a bit small, but perfectly fine; it didn't feel cramped since I didn't bring a large suitcase! On the ground floor, there's a coffee shop and a Sichuan restaurant. There's a car rental place right across the street, and the beach is just a short walk across the road. Super convenient! It's incredibly quiet at night, which is a huge plus for light sleepers. Facilities: The hotel has its own shuttle service that can take you anywhere. The resort also has free shuttle buses that stop at various points; the resort is very large. All buses within the resort are free, but the shuttle bus costs 2 RMB per person, which is still great value for money! Service: The service was truly impeccable. All the staff were incredibly enthusiastic and patient, making you feel that the hotel was worth every penny.

When checking in, all the staff at the front desk (at least four) were not very kind, not enthusiastic at all, mechanical, and it was obvious that there was a lack of training and disorderly. During the processing process, I asked me to pay a 200 deposit. I said that the food bar in the room was charged. I was afraid that the guests would not pay for it. I decisively refused and clearly told me that I would not eat. The staff at the front desk immediately changed their faces from mechanical processing to ignoring... I just made do with it for one night. What to say, I found out that the room next door was a wedding room. It would be very noisy early the next morning. In order to rest well, I asked for a room change. A staff member who changed the room for me made me feel like a spring breeze. It should be a deputy manager at the front desk (this kind of hotel position can't be so detailed, I have the impression that the badge shows this position), and I didn't have time to ask the name. Not only did I actively solve the problem, but also gave me two breakfasts, and the attitude was very good. To be honest, if it weren't for this staff, I wouldn't have five-star praise. I hope the hotel can praise this staff well.

Changling Yudao Resort Family Trip – A Real Experience From May 31st to June 1st, our family of three visited Changling Yudao Resort in Nandaihe. Overall, the value for money was excellent, making it perfect for short trips with kids. Here's a full breakdown of our stay and activities: **1. Super Affordable Package Price** We purchased an all-inclusive package for just over 600 RMB, which included accommodation, breakfast for three, and a full entertainment pass for the park, including the hot springs. The pricing was incredibly fair and didn't feel inflated at all, making it very family-friendly. **2. Rich Park Entertainment, Tons of Free Activities** All basic attractions within the park – like the mini-train, sightseeing buggies, boat rides, and Ferris wheel – were free. Plus, there were continuous special performances: * **Stunt Stage Show:** Impressive scale with amazing sound and light effects, providing an excellent visual experience. * **Stunt Car Show:** Thrilling and exciting, with fantastic sound, light, and electric effects creating an immersive atmosphere. * **'Chi Wen Jiu Jiu' Bubble Event:** An immersive bubble ocean that the kids absolutely loved. * **Exclusive 'Silver Tickets' from the hotel:** We used these for traditional games like ring toss, beanbag toss, and 'touhu' (pitch-pot), winning more 'silver tickets' to exchange for other activities. It was a lot of fun! * **Petting Zoo:** Perfect for kids who love small animals. * **Brand New Water Park (opened June 1st):** Featured a full range of water activities, as well as outdoor fun like big grass slides. The variety of activities was impressive. **3. Clean and Comfortable Accommodation, Exceptionally Warm Service** The guest rooms were neat and clean, and we even received complimentary fruit upon check-in – thoughtful details that made a difference. After a full day of playing, the park's sightseeing buggies were incredibly convenient; you just waved, and they stopped for you. We happened to meet the hotel's Deputy Sales Director, who actively asked for our feedback on accommodation, entertainment, and dining, and even gave us a thoughtful small gift. Although the hotel's standard checkout time was 12 PM, the kind sales staff extended it to 1 PM for us, showing great flexibility and understanding. **4. Excellent Pre-Arrival Service, Smooth Entry Process** The day before our arrival, a sales representative proactively contacted us via WeChat to confirm our itinerary and accommodation details. They also helped us arrange entry QR codes in advance, saving us from queuing at the entrance. The entire entry process was smooth and hassle-free, and the sales staff was enthusiastic and responsible. **5. Reasonable Dining Prices** The prices within the park were very reasonable, without much markup. The free buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of options, including various hot stir-fried dishes, with both taste and selection being excellent. **6. Hot Spring Environment** The hot springs are divided into indoor and outdoor areas, with over a dozen pools of varying temperatures, so you're sure to find one that suits you. There were many service staff diligently cleaning and even helping to look for children. Near the water, staff constantly reminded children to wear swimming caps and to be careful not to jump in, ensuring safety. The environment was also excellent. Overall, Yudao Resort offers a wealth of activities, thoughtful service, and affordable prices. It's incredibly family-friendly and highly recommended for families planning a short getaway with their children.

The hotel's location was excellent, right opposite the Chiwen Jiujiu Stage, with a mini-train shuttle station right outside. Showering after swimming was also very convenient. However, two days and one night was a bit rushed. We didn't even try the indoor hot springs on Yudao Island, only the outdoor ones. The park's performances were plentiful, one after another, quite packed. A whole day of activities would have been overwhelming. Consider this a first-time visit, but next year I'd stay three days and two nights. The room was a bit damp. I didn't use a blanket all night, and my pajamas felt damp when I woke up. This is probably a common problem with seaside accommodations. I also felt the air conditioning in the room wasn't very effective. The breakfast was okay. Next year when I visit Yudao Island, I'll probably stay within the park again; convenience is its biggest advantage.

The room is spacious and clean with a balcony, with children's bathrobes, slippers and mouthwash cups, very intimate. There are welcome fruits and drinks every day, and you can interact with cute pets downstairs. The children are super happy. The breakfast is rich and amazing. I recommend the hotel's Luyu restaurant. The dishes taste great. Thanks to the hotel butler Zhou Shuang for his thoughtful service, timely reply to the information, patient and thoughtful!

The hotel environment is clean and tidy, and there's a fantastic infinity pool that my kids absolutely loved. Our butler, Mona, provided excellent service and was always ready to help with anything we needed. We also got free access to Arcardia Beach, which isn't far away. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Qinhuangdao.
