XIAOBAI

This place is very close to the beach and parking is not bad. Yet you need to pay attention to your arrival time. No late than 8pm or you have to figure your way to contact them — no off-hour checkin guidance. Staffs are very rude. If you decide not to renew your stay, check out at 10 am or before — they won’t give you any warning before threatening to charge late fee.
