Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had amazing rooms that were clean and spacious. While the price was average, they were comfortable and clean, but not up to the standard I expected from other Shangri-La hotels. I probably wouldn't return unless I had kids with me.
The hotel rooms are spacious and comfortable for a family of four, but some amenities were lacking. The service was inconsistent, with a mix of helpful and disorganized staff. The location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions but may not offer much entertainment on-site. The dining options were tasty but limited. Overall, the facilities were average with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The spacious rooms in the Horizon Club offered a lovely ocean view, but I expected more comfort and modern amenities. The hotel grounds were sprawling with beautiful greenery and multiple pools, providing a serene atmosphere. However, the limited room service, lack of clear information in the club lounge, and outdated feel of the rooms were drawbacks. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities were well-maintained overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms are well worth the upgrade, offering various inclusions like club lounge access and buffet afternoon tea, which created a nice atmosphere for enjoying summer nights. However, I found the Horizon rooms a bit lacking in comfort and dated. The service was efficient, especially in clearing dishes, but there were some communication issues regarding the club timings and offerings. The dining experience was a hit or miss, with a good variety but overcrowding issues. The facilities were generally well-maintained, but there were limited drink choices at the cocktail hour and odd selections in the gift shop.
Staying at the Horizon Club room provided a lovely atmosphere to enjoy the summer nights outside while hearing the live music from below and overlooking the facilities. The spacious room offered a view of the swimming pool, though not the sea. The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to assist, even helping retrieve lost items. The location near Yalong Bay was peaceful and serene, though those seeking more action might find it a bit boring. The dining experience was fantastic, with a wide variety of tasty options. The facilities were top-notch, making for a luxurious stay.
The room was quite spacious and comfortable, but not up to the standard I expected from other Shangri-la hotels. The balcony lacked furniture, and the mini-bar was not well-stocked.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The room was very spacious with a large balcony, great amenities, and a sofa bed for the kids, but some aspects fell short of my expectations. The horizon room could use more comfort and updated furniture. Although room service was slow, the club breakfast was nice. The hotel's location may not appeal to everyone due to the lack of nearby activities, but it was well-organized for parents. Dining was a mix of quality and limited choices. The facilities offered were varied, with some hits and misses.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was clean and comfortable, but it didn't quite meet the luxurious standard I've experienced at other Shangri-la properties. The service, while mostly pleasant during check-in and check-out, lacked a professional touch in some aspects. The location was lovely, but the presence of children in the adult-only pool was a downside. The dining options were immense, but there were complaints about the lack of variety. Overall, the facilities were decent, though some areas needed improvement.
The hotel is sprawling across a vast green landscape with palm trees, multiple pools, a sand pit, and beach access. While the check-in was a bit delayed at 3 pm, the room was decently comfortable and clean, though not quite up to the usual high standards of Shangri-La. Some amenities were lacking, like a hard bed and dated furnishings, and service could be improved with faster room service and better communication about club offerings. The cocktail hour was a bit chaotic with limited drink choices, and the gift shop had an odd selection of alcoholic beverages reminiscent of the '80s.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with lovely flower and animal-shaped towel decorations. The cake was a nice touch, and the room size was perfect, with a sofa that could be pulled out as an extra bed for kids. The staff were smiling, friendly, fluent English speakers, and very caring with kids, providing great amenities. However, they did use smelly detergents to clean even while we were eating, which was a bit off-putting.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but not up to the usual Shangri-la standards. The Horizon Lounge experience left a lot to be desired, with issues like cleanliness and limited drink choices. However, the service was friendly overall, even though there were some misses with room service and club offerings. The location was beautiful but misrepresented the adult-only pool. Dining was decent, though lacking variety. Facilities were average, with some hits and misses.
The hotel was new and comfortable, although we wish we could stay on a non-smoking floor. The room was spacious enough to accommodate all of us. However, some aspects such as the hard bed and dated decor didn't meet my expectations. The club service had its ups and downs with delays in room service and lack of information about available amenities.
