Luxury Liuzhou Living: Wanda Plaza's Poltton Apartment Awaits!
Luxury Liuzhou Living: Wanda Plaza's Poltton Apartment Awaits! - My Honest Take (Brace Yourselves!)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I just spent a week at the Wanda Plaza’s Poltton Apartment in Liuzhou, and I’ve got opinions. This isn’t your average, sanitized travel review. This is the good, the bad, and the unexpectedly… purple carpet? (More on that later.)
First Impressions: Shiny and… Overwhelming?
I’m talking about the actual accessibility here. They say it’s accessible, and yeah, there’s an elevator. Which is good. But navigating massive hotels like these, even with help, sometimes feels like running a marathon through a maze of marble and mirrored walls. It’s a 24-hour front desk, which is awesome, but honestly, sometimes the sheer volume of options is overwhelming. You know? Like choosing a cereal aisle at the supermarket. Too. Much. Choice.
Let’s Talk Internet (Because, Duh)
Internet access – wireless: YES! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise the lord! Okay, okay, I’m a bit of a digital nomad, so strong Wi-Fi is literally the difference between working and… well, panicking. The Wi-Fi was generally solid. Internet access – LAN was available too, if you're into that old-school wired thing. I tried it once. Felt like I was back in college. The internet services in general were good. No major complaints there.
Seriously, the Room (Or, My Tiny Kingdom)
I splashed out on a “luxury” apartment, hoping for a sprawling oasis, but the reality was… comfortable. More than that, it had a certain “luxury” charm. The air conditioning blasted ice-cold, which was a godsend considering the Liuzhou humidity. The extra long bed was perfect. And hey, that blackout curtains were my best friend after a long day! The seating area was nice, though I spent most of my time curled up on the sofa with my laptop. The desk was functional, but I confess, I’d have traded it for a slightly bigger window. The bathroom phone was a nice touch (who uses those anymore?), and the hair dryer actually worked! And the mirror, let's not forget the mirror!
The Amenities: Spa Days, Fitness Frenzy, and… the Pool with a View (Sort Of)
The fitness center was decent, typical hotel gym stuff. I actually managed to get a workout in, which is a win for me. The sauna and steamroom look tempting.
The swimming pool was nice, I guess. The “view” was a bit obscured by buildings, but hey, at least it wasn’t freezing.
The Spa: The Spa/sauna was a good thing. The Foot bath seemed relaxing. While the body scrub and body wrap were tempting, I have to confess, didn’t avail of them. I’m more of a "Netflix and chill with room service" kind of gal. The massage was decent, though I’ve had better.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (Mostly)
The food situation was a mixed bag. The restaurants were plentiful. I did try the Asian breakfast one morning, which was a real experience. I’m not sure what I was eating, but it was definitely an experience. The breakfast buffet was okay, with your usual suspects. The coffee/tea in restaurant was decent. I also checked the Poolside bar and the snack bar, and they were both decent. The bottle of water was my best friend. I tried the room service [24-hour].
Hygiene and Safety: Feeling Safe, Though a Bit Overkill?
Okay, let’s be real: China takes its hygiene seriously. The anti-viral cleaning products were evident. The daily disinfection in common areas was constant. Seeing people scrub and spray everywhere did make me feel safe, though I do sort of feel paranoid at these measures. I would recommend the hand sanitizer a couple of times a day. Room sanitization opt-out available, which would have been a nice thing. The safe dining setup added to the safe experience. Rooms sanitized between stays.
Things to Do? Liuzhou (and the Hotel) Offers Plenty!
Things to do depend on your interests, but the hotel can advise you, The hotel itself offers all kinds of fun:
- Indoor venue for special events: You'll have your pick of events you can host.
- Outdoor venue for special events: The same thing applies.
- Audio-visual equipment for special events: You'll also have this stuff, so that's nice.
- Seminars: If you are into these things.
- Meetings/banquet facilities: Great for the business types.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly, but…
Family/child friendly is a definite yes. I saw families everywhere. Babysitting service is available, which is a big plus.
Getting Around: Airport Transfer and More!
The airport transfer was smooth, and the car park [free of charge] was a lifesaver. The taxi service was also easy to access.
My Honest Verdict: The Purple Carpet (and Other Quirks)
Look, the Wanda Plaza’s Poltton Apartment is a solid choice for Liuzhou. The rooms are comfortable, the amenities are plentiful, and the staff are friendly. But there are quirks.
But I can’t shake the memory of that purple carpet. (And yes, while that sounds like a minor point, it was really quite shocking.)
Overall, would I stay here again? Probably. It wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely an experience.

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because "polished" is leaving the chat. We're going to the Poltton International Service Apartment in Liuzhou, and let's just say… my expectations were higher than the smog on a bad day. But hey, adventure, right? Here's how it (probably) shook out, and keep in mind, I'm writing this a week later, fueled by instant noodles and a healthy dose of "what the heck just happened."
POLTTON PALOOZA: Liuzhou, You Wild Thing (and Other Ramblings)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Apartment Debacle (aka, My Luggage vs. The Lobby)
- Morning (Maybe): Landed in Liuzhou. The flight was… a flight. Packed solid, the usual legroom torture. Jet lag already flirting with me. Arrived at the Poltton. First impression? Okay. Clean-ish. The lobby looked promising, lots of shiny surfaces, maybe a little too much gold leaf for my taste. I wrestled my suitcase, a beast of a thing, through the revolving door and immediately almost faceplanted. Drama!
- Afternoon: Check-in. The receptionist (bless her heart, she tried) spoke minimal English. Google Translate became my new best friend. I finally got my key! Apartment – a service apartment, fancy. The elevator ride was… interesting. I'm not sure the engineering involved was up to my safety standards. Found my room. It was… roomy. And the view… of another building. Oh joy.
- Evening: Unpacked (finally!). Sat on the couch, utterly exhausted. Ordered food delivery. Rice noodles, the local specialty. They were… okay. The real adventure was figuring out the chopsticks. I dropped more than I ate. Let's just say I'm not winning any awards for chopstick mastery. Watched some Chinese TV, couldn’t understand anything, but the adverts for medicine were very… enthusiastic. Felt the jetlag hit me like a ton of bricks. Passed out.
Day 2: Wanda Plaza… and Existential Dread
- Morning: Woke up! Sort of. The bed was… a bed. Not the worst. Decided I had to explore the Chengzhong Wanda Plaza. This was a big deal, apparently. First, coffee. Searched the area for a decent coffee shop. Ended up with a questionable instant brew. The struggle is real.
- Afternoon: Wanda Plaza. Whoa. It's… a mall. a massive, intimidating, overwhelming mall. Lost. Easily. Wandered for hours, feeling like I was in a scene from a dystopian horror film. So many lights, so many people, so much… stuff. I browsed a place called "Zara" but walked out quickly I felt more nervous than when I was trying to order food. The food court saved me, though. Found some little steamed dumplings and they were divine.
- Evening: Found my way back to the apartment, exhausted from the sensory overload. Started pondering life, the universe, and everything. Specifically, why did I pick this place? The apartment was spacious but lacked any real personality, felt like a sterile hotel room with a washing machine. Wondered if I could sneak a cat in. The answer was: probably not. Then, just as I was starting to feel okay, the air con died. Aaargh! A sweaty, grumpy night.
Day 3: The Ripple Effect: A Single Meal Turns into a Life-altering Event (or, Maybe Just a Bad Stomach Ache)
- Morning: The air con was still off. My hair resembled a bird's nest. Went down and complained. The service staff were apologetic, but the language barrier was tough.
- Afternoon: Decided I needed to be adventurous and try a local restaurant that wasn't in the Wanda Plaza. Big mistake. The place was packed with locals, which is usually a good sign. Ordered something with chili peppers. It looked delicious. It was… aggressive. My mouth was on fire. My stomach started doing backflips. I ended up making a run for the apartment and spending the rest of the afternoon in a fetal position.
- Evening: Feeling a bit better, but still wobbly. Decided to order in. This time, I went for something bland, just in case. Felt guilty about wasting the food from lunch. The realization that I was a tourist eating bland food because I was scared of spice was… depressing. Spent the evening binge-watching a terrible dubbed action movie. My self-respect was at an all-time low.
Day 4: Exploring Liuzhou (Or, Attempting to)
- Morning: Felt slightly human again! Decided to actually see some of Liuzhou. Walked. Walked everywhere. Saw the Liujiang River. It was… a river. Decided to check out a park. The park was a nice spot. I was one of the only people there.
- Afternoon: Went to a museum. I think. I tried to go to the museum. It was closed. The universe was definitely messing with me by day.
- Evening: Gave in to the lure of the Wanda Plaza. This time, I went to the supermarket, actually enjoyed it. Found some snacks-- some delicious, some strange. I bought some weird gummy things the colour of uranium. I felt like I was actually living a little.
Day 5 (and Beyond): Epilogue of Sorts (The "Oh Crap, I Have To Leave" Moment)
- Days 5, 6 and 7: The rest of the days blurred a bit. Wandered. Ate. Tried, and often failed, to communicate. Slowly adapted to the pace of life there. The aircon still wasn't fixed but was a bit better. Said goodbye to the apartment.
- Departure: Leaving. Relief mixed with a weird sense of… something. I don't know if I loved Liuzhou. But it was… an experience. Definitely a story to tell. And the instant noodles I bought? Definitely a win.
Final Thoughts:
The Poltton International Service Apartment? Okay. The city? Absolutely wild. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I pack better walking shoes? Absolutely. Would I learn some basic Mandarin? Definitely. (Or at least how to say "no chili, please"). The end! For now… Who knows what the future holds. Cheers to the next adventure (and the next bad meal!)

Okay, Wanda Plaza's Poltton Apartment...Sounds fancy. What actually *is* it, and is it REALLY luxurious?
Alright, let's be real. "Luxury" gets thrown around like confetti these days. Poltton Apartments, as far as I can tell, are basically these swanky apartments *inside* the Wanda Plaza complex in Liuzhou. Think prime location - you can practically roll out of bed and into Zara. Is it *actual* luxury? Depends on your definition! I'd say it's *aspirational* luxury. Expect stylish designs, probably some high-end appliances. But hey, I haven't lived there, so I'm just extrapolating from the glossy brochures.
Picture this: You're late for a meeting, hair a mess, coffee stain on your shirt. You sprint from your polished apartment, grab a croissant at the bakery downstairs, and *bam* you're already in the meeting room at the Wanda Plaza office building. Saves time, a bunch of stress. That's kind of luxurious, right? Though... I’m pretty sure people still complain about those morning meetings.
Location, location, location! What's the *actual* perk of living *inside* a shopping mall like Wanda Plaza? Is it just the… shopping?
Okay, the shopping is HUGE. HUGE! Imagine this: You wake up on a Saturday, decide you *need* a new pair of shoes. No problem! Step out of your apartment, wander through the beautifully lit corridors, and *boom*, you’re surrounded by every shoe you could dream of. I mean, who *doesn't* like a good shoe shopping spree? The food options are endless, too. You could eat something different every single day.
But the real perk? Convenience. Dry cleaning, groceries, the cinema... it's all right there. It's like living in a self-contained little universe. You could quite literally never leave. Though, honestly, if I lived there, I'd probably *never* see sunlight. That's both a pro and a con, depending on your vitamin D levels, I guess. And let's be honest, having everything at my doorstep? Yes please!
So, what's the *actual* downside to living in such a… convenient place? I mean, there's gotta be a catch...
Oh, there's *always* a catch. For starters, think about the noise. People. Crowds. Especially on weekends and holidays. Imagine trying to sleep while a pop concert is happening downstairs. Nightmare fuel! And the crowds. Good luck gracefully navigating throngs of people after a particularly irresistible sale. You might as well be swimming upstream in a sea of bargain hunters.
Then there's the… *atmosphere*. It's a shopping mall, not a tranquil forest. It's likely filled with artificial light, piped-in music. It doesn't exactly scream “Zen retreat.” And the air quality? Let's just say it's not known for its fresh mountain breezes. I bet the security cameras are always watching you. It's like living in a high-end, slightly unsettling, surveillance state of comfort!
What's the deal with the price? Is this for regular people, or just people with Scrooge McDuck money?
Okay, let's get real about the cost. It's Wanda Plaza, people! It's probably not going to be cheap. I mean, I'd guess you'd need some serious disposable income. "Regular people," meaning, the vast majority of us, probably wouldn't be able to comfortably afford it. Think more 'executives and maybe some influencers'.
Honestly, the price alone makes me a little bitter. I’ve dreamt of living in a cool apartment, and now it seems, I'll have to continue dreaming... But, hey, if I somehow stumble upon a sudden, massive fortune, you know where I'll be looking. At least I *will* be able to afford the shoes!
How's the vibe like? Social scene? Do I need to hire a professional friend?
Oh, the vibe! I imagine it's...well, it depends. Probably a mix of very busy executives, and people who like to show off. It's not like you're moving into a quirky artist commune. Think more… sleek, polished, and possibly a little bit intimidating.
The social scene? I'm envisioning carefully curated cocktail parties and networking events. You might need to hone your small talk skills. Maybe find a friend who's REALLY good at schmoozing before you move in. Although, in my experience, the best friendships often bloom from shared experiences. Like bemoaning the ridiculously overpriced parking tickets! Maybe, just maybe, you'll find your soulmate to share the cost of the expensive rent.
Seriously, what *really* bugs you about it? Be honest!
Okay, okay, fine! Here's the truth. What *really* gets to me? The *lack of sunlight*. I am a sunlight person. I need to see the sky, I need to feel the breeze, I need some damn nature! Living in a hermetically sealed, perfectly climate-controlled environment... it just sounds… artificial, and *soul-crushing* to me.
And the implied status! I hate the pressure to live up to some sort of perfect image. The constant comparison to others, the feeling that you constantly have to *perform*. I just imagine all those beautifully dressed people with their perfect lives. I can already picture myself, showing up to my apartment at 3 AM, after a long night, in my pajamas. The whole vibe feels a bit… sterile. I'd probably end up being a terrible, unkempt exception to the 'luxury' rule. I'd spend all my money on snacks, not on designer clothes. I'd be a mess. And wouldn't that be fun to watch?
So, would you *actually* live there? Be brutally honest.
Okay. Brutally honest? No. Probably not. Despite my love for convenience, the noise, the lack of real sunlight, and the cost... it’s not really my ideal lifestyle. It's *too* polished. Too... much. I'd go slightly insane. I need a garden, a messy kitchen, and the ability to stumble out of bed without needing to impress anyone.
But... if I *won* the lottery? And the rent was somehow, magically affordable? Yeah. I might consider it. Just so I could buy all the shoes, and then complain about being broke. And I'd probably still need a garden to escape to. Maybe on the roof. I would definitely be the unpolished, messy resident! And I actually think that's the truth of it.
