I stayed here with my wife for two nights as we were stopping at Hong Kong airport as part of a flight connection.

Disneyland and their hotels are on Lantau Island, the same island as the airport. Unfortunately, whilst the Disneyland website makes it very clear how to get there from the centre of Hong Kong, there is not much information of what options are available if travelling from the airport, so we opted for a taxi. Not sure if trains or buses do operate from the airport to Disneyland, but it would be useful if this information was included on their website.

The area that Disneyland is in, is absolutely stunning, and the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel showed us some amazing scenery. We have visited all six Disney resorts around the world, but Hong Kong Disneyland is in the most naturally beautiful location of all the Disney parks.

The hotel has a beautiful view over the sea and the grounds have some really pleasant gardens.

We visited in June which is Hong Kong’s stormy season so we were pleased that the hotel kept the pool open until 22:00, otherwise we would not have got to use it in the daytime when the storms were happening.

The room was comfortable and the hotel shop (thank goodness) sold waterproof rain ponchos which were definitely needed for the time of year we visited. Buses to the theme park ran about every 10-15 minutes and did not stop at any other hotels, making this the quickest and easiest way to get to the park. It was walking distance, but due to the rain we preferred to get the buses to the park.

We loved the theme of the hotel and it was a really pleasant place to spend time. We were only there for 2.5 days but could definitely have stayed longer.

The title of my review is a bit harsh but you will see why.
We booked a room initially for 2 nights in the middle of July through Expedia but due to visa issues with my wife we had to postpone until late July/August. We contacted the hotel direct to try to move the room dates to 31st July 2nd August but was told it was not possible because we booked through a third party but they would try to help if the third party (expedia) contacted them. We explained this to Expedia and they did contact the hotel twice to be refused 100% they would not cooperate so we had to cancel the rooms losing all the money we paid and had to rebook.

Notwithstanding that when we finally arrived at the hotel it was magical for my daughter. The hotel is amazing so well designed ( there is a review on here that says otherwise but I think they need to get a life) Everything was great from the welcome and check in procedure to the Checkout. Free shuttles to the park and easy to get to from the airport $20HK and its own MTR station but you still need to walk out and find the shuttle bus to your hotel.

I recommend booking a character breakfast so that the kids can have a photo opportunity with Disney characters.

This place is 100% geared for kids as it should be, plenty of activities on rainy days great food for all and the Deluxe room we had was fantastic, two double beds coffee tea 24/7 disney on TV.
The grounds were beautiful well manicured and you were able to viosit the other 2 resort hotels if you wished which were a short walk away.

I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at Disney’s Explorers Lodge. The room was quite spacious by Hong Kong standards. There are regular shuttles to the park. And HK Disneyland has its own MTR station.

The resort offers a room service menu. Which is rare for Disney hotels. The food was always delivered on-time and delicious. I also tried the quick service and Chinese restaurant Dragon Wind. Everything was good. I found service at Explorers Lodge to be very efficient in general.

For longtime Disney fans the resort’s design will feel familiar. Combining elements of Aulani and Animal Kingdom Lodge, as well as local Asian influences, to create a pleasant environment to wander around in. Beautiful gardens and extensive outdoor spaces add to the sense of adventure. I look forward to coming back to this resort.
