Bro, not so difficult at all. Are u visiting DS for the first time? If so, just start with New Regent and head in the direction of Daya Bay on KaiCheng开城 Street – there are just so many of them to check out – more than enough for your proposed one day visit. Across from New Regent新丽晶, you have LiHao丽豪 that belongs to the same boss. Further down you have 鲁惠 LuHuiBinGuan and LuHui Hotel next to each other. Behind LuHui on Sports Road is the HongYuan鸿源 Hotel. Continuing on the KaiCheng are HengJing恒金, KaiCheng开城, Ri Hua日华 and many many other hotels. All have SNs. I would suggest you go straight to the SN floor and check with the Managers what are the prices – they will give you the standard rates and will not rip you off because business is so competitive. You then get to see the parades of the gals available – if you don’t see any one you like, don’t be shy about saying you do not see anyone you like and tell the Manager you will come back later. It will be tough not to find someone you like at the price you prefer.
All the SNs start around 12:30pm and the last call will be 4:00am – so, you will have plenty of time. Saturday is usually the busiest day because of the weekend crowds from predominantly SZ & HK.

You can easily walk in and get the same rate as what is offered by the agent. However, if you are visiting for the first time, you may prefer to book through agent more for “insurance” since you will have someone to call if you do need help. I don’t know any agent who operates in DS other than XGX and you can refer to its website for its rate as reference if you decide to book directly. Note that XGX is a profit-making agent and it has mixed reviews from various bros. FYI, New Regent (新丽晶) Hotel’s number is +86-752-3822822. It’s rated 3-stars (about the same standard as CP’s TianErHu after its renovation) but highly recommended for newbies visiting DS for the first time because of its central location. It is actually not that difficult to visit DS on your own.
In contrast to CP, many 4-stars hotels in DS actually offer lower rate during weekends. This is because these hotels are usually popular with the businessmen visiting during the weekdays, and the weekend crowds tend to stay in the cheaper hotels – or free if they check in late at the SNs. The 4-stars hotels in DS include 家路 (Homeland), 丽晶花园 (Legend; same boss as New Regent), 世纪花园 (Century Palace) and 新都会 (Metropolitan) but they are all located away from the town centre and not so convenient.
From HKIA, there is also a direct bus to DS by Eternal East (EE永东) Bus – this will be the easiest for newbies visiting for the first time. One of the stops is at New Regent. You can also purchase the return ticket at the New Regent Hotel.
