In China now after 2 stays in the last 10 days mostly in the Beidaihe area. The Marriott Resort on the beach there has actually improved since my last stay 2 years ago, probably could be a JW luxury brand now.
The Qinhuangdao CY has its good CY hospitality, but the EL has only beverages/snacks, and was told for any evening snack/foods just to order off the menu.
Next week off to Sanya for a month, we booked only 3 Sanya hotels in 2 different bays. With this new weak Mrt Q4 promo, decided to try the 'benefits' of the Flying pig app (Fliggy.com) It's an Alibaba travel service platform. The prepaid deal (ya, hard to modify) where one gets 5000 Mrt points per day, along with the Mrt weak Q4 points & nights. Only did this with the Taikang resort in Haitang bay, not our Sheraton arrival resort. Updates later on Fliggy, but was told that this travel ap is more for the Chinese Gen Z types who like AI.
