The hotel is really great overall

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Apr 2021
The hotel lobby is good. It is adventure-themed. Ocean scent air freshener is used and it smells good. It is well-garnished with chandeliers and many other decorations. During check-in, the staff is very friendly and patient. There are also staff roaming around and proactively offering help to visitors. The toilet in the lobby is very clean. The only thing that I would nitpick about is the size of the lobby and that of the gift shop within it. The gift shop offers fewer items than the gift shops within the Disney park. Although the lobby is bright and spacious, it could be even bigger in my opinion.

The room we got is on the top floor (8th) and has two beds. Despite a lack of sea view (instead, it has a view of a certain part of the hotel, a garden and a parking lot), it is still totally fine because of the interior of the hotel room. There is a large wardrobe at the end of the entrance, and on the right is an open sink without a door. Next to the sink is a toilet and a shower enclosed behind a door. If you think having an open sink next to your bed (with a wooden barrier in between) is unbearable, then perhaps this hotel is not for you (not sure about other types of rooms, please do your own research). All of these amenities are neat and tidy. The cleaning products (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) are not in tiny bottles but are in reused bottles fixed within a metal rack inside the shower. Slippers and two bottles of water are gifted. There is also some kind of gifts on the table between the two beds. There are 3-4 power sockets within the room. The television screen is wide and long. Similar to the lobby, the room is also adventure-themed. Overall, the room is up to my standards, and Disney has done a great job.

The greatest thing about this hotel is actually the outdoors. The landscape design across the gardens surrounding the hotel is done very well, compared to ordinary premises. Different types of flowers and trees are planted everywhere. At the heart of the hotel is a swimming pool hidden well by foliage. Due to safety measures imposed during the pandemic, the pool only allows 60 people for now. Around the pool is many more trees and bushes and also some boulders. The boulders create a pond, a waterfall and so much more scenery. The greatest thing of all is the part of the garden near the ocean. It has a breathtaking sea view (although fenced off by the hotel boundaries) and perfectly manicured grass lawns. The lawns have some knolls, which make them even better and more natural. Lounging there under the sun is a very pleasant and memorable experience (especially if you are acclimatized to living in a city and seldom experience nature). Not sure if this is right, but you may ask for scooters to be ridden on the garden paths, and badminton rackets or footballs to be played on the lawns. This is what really qualifies this hotel as a part of the Disneyland "Resort".

This hotel is really good for families and kids. There are many kids running around the lobby.

The hotel is really great overall.

I didn’t realise my air conditioning was not working until I came back from Disneyland. I called Front Desk to arrange room change, thank you housekeeping manager Connie came up apologise to me in the new room with some special gift even not their fault as engineer team was not available at that time. The entire housekeeping team super professional and friendly, room were super clean. Something that surprise me was HSK team will turn off the vacuum & greet with you when you walk pass then continue with their work which other 5 stars hotel might not provide the same. Overall experience were super good, but they might consider focus more resources in front desk & back end with customer support & request.

Even Disneyland not open, still can get fun in hotel everywhere. Hotel has many kids facilities so my boy is excited to see characters walking around. Don't miss out the breakfast buffet, simple items but a lot of variety.

We got lucky that Disneyland reopened the same day as our reservation at explorers lodge. Our three-year-old loved every minute of the trip and it felt like we were on vacation without leaving Hong Kong. Although some restaurant services are more limited with Covid, Thompson, KC and the entire staff went out of their way to ensure we had a magical time. The hotel design is gorgeous, it’s a lovely waterfront promenade walk to the park, and special touches delighted us at every turn - the stamp hunt, Minnie’s closet, and Minnie & Mickey surprise visit in their explorer gear to say farewell at checkout! We will definitely be back again soon!

Amazing Disney hotel, our kid loves it! It’s new and beautiful. The deco is special and spacious. Lots of outdoor space for the kids to run and play. Will definitely come back again. Mickey and Donald will come out around noon time to greet the guests. The only bad thing is the catering. The food is just so so. 非常棒的迪斯尼酒店,非常棒的迪斯尼酒店,非常棒的迪斯尼酒店,非常棒的迪斯尼酒店,非常棒的迪斯尼酒店,非常棒的迪斯尼酒店

Our last visit to Hong Kong included a lengthy stat at Disney's Explorer's Lodge and, like all Disney accommodation, it has it positives and negatives.

If you've even been to Animal Kingdom Lodge in Orlando the architecture of the main lobby area is practically identical (only in smaller form).

It has large and spacious rooms, with beautiful views of the lush garden scenery, pool and bay area.

The rooms are well equipped with large, comfy beds, a mini fridge, tea and coffee, a nook for luggage, a large television - featuring several English channels. The bathroom only has a large shower, no bathtub. Every day housekeeping will give you a new tin (either seasonal or themed to the explorers lodge) equipped with basic toiletries. They make for great souvenirs and gifts.

Cots and baths for infants are available on request.

It has one quick service option (The Chart Room cafe) and two restaurants (Dragon Wind and the World of colour).

The Chart Room cafe has a team of patisserie chefs cooking up delightful concotions. If you're celebrating a special event you can even get a delightful themed cake. As for the food, well... It's pretty expensive. There aren't a lot of options. And it varies. Hit and miss, honestly.

The pool is medium sized and supervised by life guards. Every day the staff run activities for children where they are able to dance and have fun with Goofy, which my daughter loved. A great little add on.

Shuttle buses to the park run regularly however it's also an easy 15 minute walk if you're that way inclined.

The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Overall a beautiful and functional hotel, if a little pricey, that ticks most boxes.
