Beach Hotels in Fujian, China

"It felt quite safe, and the room was spacious with a great view outside. The AC was already on when I checked in, which was a nice touch. 👍 The only minor downside was that there was nowhere to hang clothes, which I mentioned, and they said they'd add it right away! 👍👍👍👍"

"My kids had been begging to stay at a hotel for ages. I was looking for a luxurious resort by the sea – no flying required – with a water park, a beach, and a kids' club for a few days. Then I stumbled upon this place! After checking out the facilities and reviews, it perfectly matched all my criteria. I booked a 3-night stay on a certain travel app, about half a month in advance. I was so worried about rain and checked the weather forecast daily. I specifically chose the only few rain-free days of the month, with temperatures over 30 degrees, perfect for swimming! You can never go wrong with a five-star hotel; an old Ferrari is still a Ferrari! There are absolutely no downsides. Initially, I was a bit nervous because some reviews mentioned the breakfast being very poor. However, the main building and the Water Garden have two separate buffet breakfast restaurants. When checking in, the front desk didn't know how long we'd have to wait for a room, so they upgraded us and even included a complimentary hotel afternoon tea! I was shocked to find we were upgraded to a poolside room in the Water Garden! This was a room type I wouldn't even dream of… so touching! However, staying in the main building and the Water Garden each has its advantages. The main building is super convenient for the kids' club and water park, including room service. The Water Garden doesn't have a kids' club, and its pool only has one slide. (But hotels with water features tend to be a bit humid overall; the bed always felt slightly damp, much like our plum rain season, and clothes took forever to dry, even though it was sunny). 1. The buffet breakfast was the best I've ever had. I've stayed in many high-end beach hotels both domestically and internationally, but this one offered fresh squeezed juices daily! I've never seen that before. And you could keep getting Eggs Benedict; the quality was like having a fancy brunch at a Western restaurant. You'll likely find everything you want! The hours were 7:00-10:30 AM, so you barely needed lunch. 2. Although you need to call a shuttle to get from the Water Garden to the main building, they're always responsive, and they even help deliver some takeout. The most memorable moment was one evening when I went to the lobby to buy Haagen-Dazs late at night. The lobby staff had to help scoop it. I bought three scoops, and one of the kids accidentally knocked over their ice cream. We were going to scoop off the top layer for ourselves and give the remaining one to the child, but the staff immediately scooped a fresh one! It was so touching! While there were a few individual staff members who weren't as good, overall, the service was fantastic! 3. The bed was incredibly comfortable to sleep on. Although I wasn't a fan of the pillows, the bed itself was truly comfortable! The 2-meter bed comfortably slept 2 small children and 1 adult. The hotel can also install bed rails, which were very effective! Unlike other family-friendly hotels I've stayed at where they easily loosen, these rails were great; no need to worry about the kids falling off at night. 4. The beach was a bit of a walk, quite far for small children, as you had to go through an underground tunnel with lots of stairs up and down, crossing the main Huan Dao Nan Road. You could exit directly from the hotel by swiping your card. On the way, we saw so many giant African snails – a new experience, I'd never seen them in real life before. 5. The kids' club was huge, and the activities were plentiful! You could genuinely just relax at the hotel; if you have young kids and don't want to venture out, this is the perfect choice! 6. Most importantly, there were so many of my beloved frangipani flowers here! Fresh frangipani often fell into the pool. I thought I'd only see frangipani again if I went to Thailand!!! But I found them here, which was so touching!!! There were also many fruit trees at the hotel; a wax apple tree was right by the lobby entrance, and I think I even saw a jackfruit tree while riding the little train around the grounds!!! The whole hotel made me feel like I was in Thailand… 7. The welcome fruits were not perfunctory and very fresh! The minibar was the most luxurious I've ever seen!!!!! The Xiamen beer was hohoho delicious~! You can always trust the experience of a five-star hotel! If you're also looking for a hotel to just relax and have fun with your kids, choose this one! I'd be happy to choose this hotel again next time I'm in Xiamen, especially if I could stay in a poolside room again, that would be pure joy, hahaha."

"Our flight was originally scheduled to arrive at 1 AM, and I had arranged an airport pickup with the guesthouse owner. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, we didn't land until past 5 AM. I woke the owner up, and he graciously drove to the airport to pick us up without any complaints. He even took us for breakfast and later dropped us off at the airport around noon. Running a business truly isn't easy! The guesthouse room was clean, tidy, and very quiet, with a comfortable bed. We fell asleep instantly and had a great rest. One of the rooms offered a lovely sea view, and we even caught the sunrise. The guesthouse looks exactly like the pictures on the platform. I travel frequently but rarely write reviews, especially one this long. Wishing the owner prosperous business and continued success!"

"The hotel's facilities are excellent. Guest relations managers Elaine and Mia provided fantastic service, and the executive lounge staff were also very friendly. The food offerings were great. The hotel arranged a wonderful travel photoshoot 🎉, and the staff were attentive and took great pictures. Even on a rainy day, taking photos at the hotel was a fun activity. Welcome fruit: Good In-room minibar: Very good [Whale's Ascent, Starfall] Metaverse MR Immersive Visual Experience: Okay"

"Gulangyu Liuyue Hotel, full marks, highly recommended! ✨ For accommodation on Gulangyu, look no further than Liuyue! The location is superb, very close to Sunlight Rock, and just a short walk to the beach. It's incredibly convenient for exploring, dining, and getting around. The environment is elegant and clean, and the rooms are tidy and comfortable.

They send you the island arrival route in advance, and the staff are warm and patient, giving very helpful recommendations for routes and local food. Overall, the value for money is excellent. It's quiet and not noisy, and the stay was a perfect experience. This is definitely the top choice for Gulangyu, you won't be disappointed! 💯"

"Parking is super convenient, and there are many shops downstairs with food and drinks. It's also an easy walk to the grand shrine, making it a great location. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, and the housekeeping is excellent. I asked housekeeping for bottled water, and they were very polite about it. The large terrace on the sixth floor of the hotel offers an amazing view, it really lifts your spirits!"
