Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness: rooms and floors not well cleaned, overall hotel feels unmaintained; guests explicitly listed 'cleanness' as a con.
Service
9
Mixed but generally strong personal service in several reports: staff described as very helpful and friendly, assisted with celebrations and daily room servicing; some communication/language issues noted but overall staff effort was praised.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised: prime beachfront location and ocean-view rooms highlighted as a major positive across reviews.
Room Quality
5
Rooms are spacious and have good views but are dated, poorly maintained in places, and mattresses described as very hard or uncomfortable.
Amenities
5.5
Large pool and beach access are positives, but amenities (pool maintenance, limited onsite services and restaurant hours) are criticized and feel under-resourced.
Value for Money
8.5
Some guests explicitly called it 'value for money' and noted helpfulness from staff for events; despite maintenance issues, location and size of rooms support a positive value perception for many reviewers.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Several complaints about limited restaurant hours, poor breakfast handling (billing issues) and staff struggling with basic preparations (e.g., omelettes); food service availability limited.
Overall Experience
6.5
Mixed overall: excellent location and many friendly staff led to positive moments (family events, helpful service), but maintenance, cleanliness and food/service inconsistencies pulled the experience down.

A Pleasant stay at the Jie Jie Beach Hotel, and value for money.
Pros:

The room was quite spacious.

Cons:

Could have been cleaner, and the place on the whole looks a bit dated.

Hotel with faded glory but nice staff
Pros:

The location is quite nice because it is right at the beach. We also had a ocean view room, the other side might be a different experience as the railroads are there. Nevertheless, the trains didn't bother us as much.

They have a large pool.

The service however was very good and the people were super friendly.

Cons:

Jie Jie Beach really felt like a hotel with faded glory.

The pool they have is very large and we did enjoy the pool. However it doesn't look very appealing and maintained.

That goes for most of the hotel. It's quite large and it seems almost to large for proper maintenence (if you dont invest in it). The rooms weren't clean or maintained at all and the matrass wasn't very comfortable, unless you prefer rock solid. With the amount of staff that we saw, they could put some more effort in making sure the maintenence and cleanliness is on a higher standard considering it is a 5 star hotel.

Terrible Hotel - but has potential! - a lot needs to change to make it to at least a 4 star!
Pros:

Rooms were large with great beach views - needs a lot of updating to bring it to standard!

The only positive thing I can say is that a lot of my family members stayed at this hotel as we were attending a family wedding and so I was able to celebrate my 60th b'day with my relatives there and staff helped me set up with a cake table and assisting with drink orders etc.

Room was serviced well daily!

Cons:

1) The terrible state that the hotel was in with renovations going on whilst people were staying there - men painting corridors etc..
2) No facility to order any lunch at short notice, or have a proper coffee after dinner.
3) Unclean staff members trying to cook omlets/eggs - three of them there at one point and none knowing how to make an omlet and wearing dirty clothing!
4) Our breakfasts were not charged back to to the room (as we had booked Room Only) and despite letting staff know - nothing happened.
5) Staff didn't speak English or understand English so difficult to communicate!
6) Everything seems to be still paper based and not computerised?
7) Customer Service NIL
8) Didn't try room service as everything else was so bad we kept going to get our food and drinks from the Bluewater Hotel so this Hotel missed out on income as a result!
9) Sheets were clean but floors could have been cleaner.
10) Rooms were bare with no colour or decor! Serious upgrades needed!

Einmal und nie wieder. Von 12 Tagen nach 5Tagen ausgecheckt.
Cons:

Das Frühstücksbüfett war unter sehr schlechter Auflage. Butter nicht abgedeckt und sehr unappetlich,Wurst und Käse angelaufen und schmierig, Gläser für Säfte alle trüb so das man nicht wusste ob das Glas sauber ist,ebenso waren die Gläser nicht auf dem Kopfgestellt. Eierspeisen musste ich jedes mal frisch beauftragen da auch sehr unappetlich,Obst nicht abgedeckt da Mücken /Fliegen am Obst waren,Toastbrot vertrocknet.Das alles konnte auch ein Einheimischer bestätigen da ich ihn zum Frühstück eingeladen hatte. Beim Essen auf dem Zimmer wurde das Geschirr vor der Türe erst nach2 Tagen weggeräumt,so das wenn man die Zimmertüre öffnete die Mücken ein umsurrten. Badezimmer jeden Tag unter Wasser da die Duschtüre undicht war.Balkontüre war nur sehr schwer zu öffnen. Nach 3 Tagen habe ich erst ein Moskitomittel erhalten in meinem Zimmer.Safe viel zu klein. Kadaver am Strand.

Pros:

We were told one price for the lunch buffet and then charged 4x more when we checked out. The price for the lunch buffet was astronomical.

A bit disappointing from how this hotel presented on line.
Pros:

We liked the bed it was comfortable

Cons:

The loud music that played on a Saturday night downstairs that kept us awake until it went off at 11pm. We had a very early flight the next day so it wasn’t good at all.
The property was tired looking and less fancy than it appeared on the internet.
