Thanks to introduce us a new hot-spring place. The offer is very attractive. I plan to go there with my friends & family during Christmas holiday, too. I called the hotel yesterday and they confirmed my booking over phone accordingly.
I've no experience with this hotel & I can't find their official website/booklet..... plus I was not requested to pay any deposit for my booking to their end in advance. I would like to check with you (or your friends who used to stay there in past)- Is it their normal procedure to confirm customer booking just over phone???? Will they give any "black and white" copy to customer's keep ref.???? Is this hotel trustable (will they raise up the room charge when we arrive at their hotel???) and secure???
Sorry to give you much question, and hope you can help me, tks.
I plan to go there on Dec 26 (same as you). We will have 10 people to go together and we need at least 4-5 twin rooms....the lady offer me the rooms (5 rooms together and share with a dinning room) near hot-spring area/ front desk.... This arrangement seems fine to my end. The lady also tell me staying in hill is quite cold by that time. Is her saying true ??? Can you help me to check with your sister if you know what kind of room I've booked. How many days did your sister stayed in hotel from her last trip????
We will go to the hotel from Guang Zhou East railway. The hotel will send coach to pick us from railway station at HK$55/head (round trip). The lady tells me they will need about 2 hours journey from railway station to the hotel. Sound it is quite far away bor.
We may meet each other in there . Let's see. Cheers
Hi, we just came back from hot-spring hotel. Our trip was RMB$150/head (kid below 1.2m is half price $75) including 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner & 1 refreshment meal (at 11.00pm). We requested hotel to pick us up from Guan Zhong East Railway, add't costs $55/head (round trip). The journey (G.Z.east to hotel) took about 2 hours and 15 minutes, quite far away and long distance.......
We have several comment for our trip:
- The traffic lead time was too long. In future, if we went there again, we would rent cab to go there from Shengsheng direction. In this way, we should be able to save at least 1 hour+ traveling time one way.
- the cleanliness of accommodation + hot-spring was just so-so, don't have too much expectation. But, the environment was nice. It was a place filled with pure & natural. Very greenish & valley feel.
- there were not too much kinds of the entertainment, and some of facilities was old.
- We saw 2 tours to check-in after lunch time.
- hotel offered a free circus show to all guests after dinner time. The show was O.K., just felt sorry + guilty to see the hardworking little boys/girls in the circus. I asked my children to treasure their current belongings, as they were lucky than many many people ........
- the hotel didn't open all hot-spring pools. There were just few pools opened for our trip and very crowded at night (after Showtime). We had our hot-spring in the morning after breakfast, as it was just cleaned up & not much people.
Rather than above, we felt RMB$150 was very good deal for eating. They offered 6-8 dishes + 1 soup to each table for lunch/dinner . All dishes were very delicious (Yummy!!!) & large amount. We enjoyed eating there (4 meals) and felt the meal was over-valued than what we paid...... In a conclusion, if you are only looking for very short trip and eating (do not request nice accommodation & hot-spring), I will say this is a right place to take into your consideration list.
Did you come from Shengzheng to "莊加莊" or like us (from G.Z.east to"莊加莊") ???
住既環境"莊明莊"比"莊加莊"好, really??? We didn't know it at all. Where is "莊明莊"??? Is it close to "莊加莊"??? Our cab driver only introduce us to stay in "莊上莊" next time which provides better accomodation.
Have you tried the hot-spring in "莊明莊"??? Clean & with much more pools choice??? Besides hot-spring, whatelse of entertainment facilities does it has??? "莊明莊"別墅式有三間房有6張床, 包食兩餐only???
