Rizhao Kaiyuan Senbo Resort Hotel

"We had a two-night, three-day trip. It's about a three-hour drive from Shanghai, making it a relatively relaxed family getaway. If you're just looking to entertain the kids, staying at the hotel is perfectly fine. There are plenty of activities, a water park, and you can even dig in the sand and play in the waves just by crossing a skybridge – no need to go to the滨海森林公园 (Binhai Forest Park). They offer a butler-style service, and kids receive gifts at both check-in and check-out. Of course, they also ask you to write a detailed positive review mentioning specific names. The breakfast was pretty average; while it seemed like there were many options like pancakes, rice balls, waffles, and even roasted sweet potatoes, the taste was quite ordinary. Despite that, I would still recommend it to friends."

Rizhao Lanqiao Jinjiang Hotel (Wanpingkou Dongyi Town Branch)

"The service was great and the hotel facilities were decent. The only thing I was dissatisfied with was the breakfast; it was pretty average with not much meat."

RIZHAO DOWNTOWN

"I recently stayed at this hotel during my trip to Rizhao. I noticed they had a lot of events going on, and after asking the staff, I found out they have several banquet halls perfect for company annual meetings, and the prices are very reasonable. There's also a lounge on the third floor. After a long day of sightseeing, it was great to relax there with a drink and chat, helping to shake off the day's fatigue."

"I went to Arashiyama beach with friends and found a newly opened hotel. It's considered pretty good accommodation in Arashiyama; it's only about a 10-minute taxi ride from the beach. It's quite large, located near a tea plantation, and has its own coffee shop and book bar, which I liked. There's also a pool table, karaoke, and a gym – very well-equipped, perfect for groups. The only downside is that getting to the rooms is uphill, which was a bit of a leg workout, haha. The staff were very helpful. I recommend it in Arashiyama!"

Rizhao Yanda Resort Hotel

"One-star warning! Avoid this place! My overall experience at Rizhao Yanda Resort Hotel was terrible, and I absolutely do not recommend it for families with children. The service was completely inadequate; staff were constantly unresponsive and dismissive when asked questions, showing almost zero professionalism. The hotel's internal management was chaotic, and public areas were disorganized. Housekeeping was perfunctory, with dust and stains visible everywhere in the rooms and play areas. This is the first hotel I've stayed in where they use pull-out toilet paper – how much money could that possibly save? Despite being advertised as a family-friendly resort, the entertainment areas were tiny, and there were very few activities for children. There was basically nowhere for kids to have fun, making it extremely poor value for money. I will not be returning and advise everyone else to avoid this pitfall."

Ocean Aesthetics Museum Hotel

"This is by far the best hotel in Rizhao for a beachfront aesthetic experience! You can step right out onto the beach for tide pooling or catching the sunrise, and it's quiet and uncrowded. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the courtyard room offers great privacy, and it's well-equipped for families, even providing free sand-digging and tide-pooling tools. The service is thoughtful and attentive. It's incredibly cost-effective for a family vacation. Highly recommended!"

Yanda Water Resort Hotel (Rizhao Wanpingkou Scenic Area · Rizhao Station Branch)

"It was incredibly noisy, and especially expensive during the May Day holiday. We booked two rooms, but we would have been better off going to a normal double room on the fourth floor. People were walking around, the child kept crying, the room felt very oppressive, and there was a constant, noisy ventilation system. It was utterly maddening. It was like a refugee camp, and yet it was so expensive."

Cloud Glam Seaview Hotel

"Facilities: Good, clean and hygienic. Minor service"

Bibo Hotel

"The hotel is very close to the lighthouse scenic area, and it is also very convenient to go to other surrounding scenic spots. It has its own large parking lot, which makes it easy to get in and out. In particular, its buffet breakfast is rich in variety and very good. It is worth staying."

Rizhao Courtyard by Marriott Hotel

Grand New Century Hotel Rizhao Donghu

"The breakfast buffet offered a decent variety, but the milk didn't seem fresh and was quite unpalatable. They also have a dinner buffet which offers good value for money. The hotel's pool water temperature was perfect. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, but the way there wasn't very easy to find."
