Commune by the Great Wall

酒店本身環境是很不錯的，也有一定設計感，周邊很多大樹，很舒服的感覺。 不過酒店房間的設施太有年代感了，衞生情況也一般，衞生間會後一定的反臭，本身那個床旁邊的低矮桌子沒有打掃乾淨（第十張圖，還有花生屑），但是到的那天很晚了，且下雨，換房間和比較麻煩，就沒和酒店特別投訴這個問題。

Stayed 2 nights at the Commune by the Great Wall, an Unbound Collection by Hyatt. The resort is spread over a big acres of land within the Shuiguan area, also a short proximity to the renowned Badaling Great Wall. You have to reach there by car or by DiDi as there is no public transport to reach the Commune. This is a resort for those who wish to spend quality time, to seek refuge and to relax. The resort was designed by 12 individual renowned architects, each reflecting their own taste and styles, clearly demonstrated in the Communal Home you are staying. Each Communal Home consists of 5-6 rooms where you share common spaces such as Living, Dining, Kitchen and Courtyard with other fellow travellers. You will still have your own room and private bathroom similar to any other hotels or resorts. With the Communal Home, you can access these public area / communal area where often it is under utilised which is great for us. The room is immaculately adorned with the furniture styles of the Communal Home you have selected. There is Cantilever House (Red House), Terrace House, Suitcase House, Bamboo Wall, Forest House etc. My Bamboo Wall room is a little small in my opinion. The bedding is on a Tatami Platform. Bathroom is too big and it takes up too much space for the bedroom. There are limited spaces for the suitcase as we travel from afar. There is also no hook for clothing in the bathroom, no hook for the hand towel which is quite strange given that it is quite luxurious. We bought the package which includes daily breakfast for 2 with Shuiguan Great Wall Ticket and a High Tea. There is an outdoor swimming pool within the hotel and a gym. The pool is only open for 3 months during the summer months, not sure why the restrictions even though it is not a heated pool. During my visit, day time was hot and the air temperature was around 26-28 degrees. Though the water temperature may be way cooler, but if the pool is opened, we will probably take a dip. The breakfast is either a la carte or buffet depending on the hotel's occupancy rate. We had lunch and dinner at the hotel as well and the food is very good though it is on the pricey side. To move around the resort, you will either walk (depending on the location of your accommodation), it can be far away from the restaurant or the reception. You can call them for a car pick up. The driver 小宋 is a great asset to the property, so as our Housekeeper 小李(李鸿建), he was very attentive and observatory. He saw we have many medicine and supplements in the room and he gave us extra water and left us a note. Great initiative! In short, it is a very memorable stay and a very good hideaway.

雨天的長城有一種朦朧的寧靜之美。感謝Sunny和同事的貼心服務，有一種賓至如歸的感覺。下次還會再來

住的是四合院，下回想住個別的，升級了套房，飲料完全符合我們喜好。 徒步總算走下來了 徒步6km帶着娃走下來了，感謝Olivier讓餐廳 準備簡餐，遠程指導路線。送給孩子的伴手禮孩子也很喜歡💕也謝謝司機接送！ 套餐含水關長城門票，入口左邊上去，來回2小時。 對比下海灣半山，去年住過，那邊有私湯，那邊服務建羣但沒必要，這裏服務分寸拿捏很好，那邊爬山沒這邊野，這裏徒步能走下來還是蠻有成就感的。 運動場和小童公社都離大堂不遠，小童公社楊迪給孩子兩次手工。現在還不能玩水游泳，但可以羽毛球，陸地冰壺等，健身房不大，也沒必要大了，外面溜達空氣好啊 笑玩旅拍的大偉老師拍的照片有氛圍感，也很專業，很推薦！！ 人少餐廳早餐是半自助的，做得不錯👍，比一般的早餐自助好吃，紅燒牛肉麪點了兩回。套餐含晚餐的熗炒圓白菜是真的好吃😋 下回暑假再來避暑吧！晚上收穫了星星💫

公社緊鄰水關長城，在前台安排好房間可以自行開車前往，一路沿着主幹道向上開，兩旁有很多分支，分別通往不同的屋子，沿途看到了竹屋、紅房子等網紅建築，房子都藏在森林裏，神祕且幽靜。房間舒適，睡的很好。孩子很喜歡小童公社裡的活動，塗塗畫畫就能待上大半天，趕上人不多的時候，frada姐姐還會給孩子畫上臉部彩繪，這裏的工作人員對孩子們都很有愛和耐心。是一次非常好的體驗。
