THE OCEAN VILLAS (Managed by The Ocean Resort)

Overall, I'm not satisfied at all. I arrived early at 1 PM, understanding that check-in was at 3 PM. They offered an upgrade to a villa for an extra $200, promising early check-in, but I still only got my room at 3 PM. Upon arrival, the front desk lobby was sweltering hot with no air conditioning, no welcome drinks, and not even a simple greeting. For a HKD 3,000 room, this felt really bad. On top of that, they charged extra for children. While waiting in the stuffy heat, we went to the incredibly overpriced and distant restaurant – it was the only one. It was very hot with no air conditioning, and it was a 5-minute walk from the lobby. It was also extremely expensive and, ironically, the food was terrible. When we finally got our room, it was huge, but the hygiene was appalling. There were insect carcasses, leftover food packaging, food crumbs, and the cups, sink, and bathtub were all stained, as if they hadn't been cleaned. The air conditioning was insufficient; we had to use a fan 😢. Is this what a villa at this price is like? Vinpearl is much better. Both swimming pools are far from the restaurant. The one near the restaurant was more suitable for us, but unfortunately, it was quite crowded. We also saw staff directly patching it with cement, which made it feel like we were swimming in muddy water. The floor of the lobby pool was uncomfortable on the feet, and my children hurt their soles stepping on it. We ordered Grab for dinner, but they wouldn't let the driver into the lobby; guests either had to walk out or the driver had to find their own way in. Very unfriendly. The trash room door in the villas couldn't be closed, making us anxious all night. The entire hotel area is huge, but it lacks good facilities and service. Compared to Vinpearl, the difference is significant.

I enjoyed my stay. The villa was comfortable and spacious, just as pictured. The staff were friendly and responsive. The hotel has an excellent private beach and the sea is clean.

The hotel is luxurious, with a territory full of flowers and greenery, its own beach, and large swimming pools – perfect for relaxation. Breakfasts are delicious, with meat, fish, fresh juices, cold coffee, and all kinds of fruits, even mangoes. The room is huge and comfortable with 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, good renovation, new furniture, and 3 Samsung TVs. The view is gorgeous.

The location isn't close to the bustling areas, but it's very convenient for ordering takeout if you get hungry. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but it's enough to eat. There's a pool, and the beach is just a short walk away. It's truly perfect for a vacation. The staff are all polite and patient.

Great value for money. Loved having a beach to watch the sunrise from, and the private pool was a lot of fun too.

The hotel features dozens of beautiful beachfront villas and a suite building. The grounds are large and well-maintained, with plenty of greenery and pleasant walking paths. The beach is luxurious, with fine white sand, a long, shallow entry into the sea, and beautiful, clear turquoise water – as turquoise as it gets in the South China Sea, anyway. There aren't quite enough sun loungers, and they're almost always occupied by families with children or abandoned towels. It would be a good idea to add another 6-8. There aren't many people at the hotel, perhaps the villas are rented out but not all are occupied at the same time. There are few people at breakfast and on the beach, service is excellent, and the staff are very attentive. We really enjoyed everything. Our villa (DW) had a well-kept private courtyard with outdoor furniture. The bed was comfortable, and the linens and towels were good. The breakfast deserves special mention – it's magnificent! It took us until the second day to try almost everything. There's a wide selection of fruits, greens, and juices. Everything is very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this hotel; the location is great, offering peace and privacy. There's a nice pool and a beachfront restaurant. We recently got married and celebrated our honeymoon here. The hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure our good mood upon arrival, greeting us with a bouquet of roses in the room and a beautifully decorated bedroom. Thank you very much, we were truly delighted! We met guests from Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan, Korea, and Africa.

I highly recommend this place if it fits your budget and if you're looking for a seaside vacation. My family of four stayed here in late May/early June. We had a 275 sq. m. villa with two bedrooms and a living room. Everything was very comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious – I recommend paying for them. The private pool was clean. The hotel staff was incredibly kind. The beach is a 10-minute walk or you can call an electric car. The nature is amazing. Some things to note: the grocery store is far away, and the city center is also quite a distance. If you can find a reliable taxi driver (the reception helped me with this), a trip to the city center costs 7-8 USD. The prices for the spa and restaurant at the hotel are reasonable, a little more expensive than in the city, but not by much. The villa itself isn't super high-tech, but everything is done with soul and care. I recommend it again if it suits your budget and you're looking for a peaceful getaway.

Breakfast was very so-so. The place is big, and for this price, it's pretty much what you'd expect! It's close to the beach and has a swimming pool, though the private one is too small to really swim in. One of the rooms had a bathtub that was really old and peeling.
