The hotel integrates guest rooms, dining, meetings, hot springs, recreation, and entertainment into one comprehensive destination, covering a site area of 87,000 square meters, of which 64,000 square meters are dedicated to outdoor gardens. Ideally situated at the heart of Shili Yintan (Silver Beach), one of "China's Top Ten Most Beautiful Beaches," the hotel backs onto Huashan Mountain and faces the South China Sea, commanding sweeping views of the mountain, the gardens, and the sea. The hotel enjoys convenient access to Dajiaowan National 5A Tourist Attraction, Yiye Cheng Shopping Street, the Nanhai No. 1 Museum, and the Mazu Temple.
Built on a hillside, the hotel features its lobby on the third floor, a design conceived to offer an elevated vantage point overlooking the sea. At the center of the lobby stands a ship, echoing the ancient merchant vessel housed in the Nanhai No. 1 Museum, embodying the cultural heritage of the Maritime Silk Road and, in the spirit of the Belt and Road Initiative, conveying a vision of shared prosperity and win-win cooperation. Above the lobby, 3,999 lifelike bronze birds in flight symbolize peace and harmony.
Every guest room offers a view—be it of the sea, the gardens, or the mountain. Within the rooms, wooden flooring and rattan furnishings subtly reveal the tropical charm of maritime culture.
The hotel offers family suites and poolside family rooms, where guests can enjoy quality time with their children. The property also features a children's water park and the Lejing Kids' Club, creating a richer family resort experience and allowing children to embrace the island scenery through exploration and play. In addition, the hotel is equipped with both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, enabling guests to swim and unwind regardless of weather or season.
The hotel also provides new energy vehicle charging stations for the convenience of guests on self-driving electric vehicle trips (please consult the hotel for details).
"First of all, a big thank you to the front desk staff for upgrading us to a partial sea view room. I had booked a room without breakfast. On the day of check-in, I either misheard or the front desk misspoke, but I thought I heard that two breakfasts were included, assuming it was a complimentary upgrade. However, the next day I was informed there was no breakfast. We ended up buying breakfast cards, and I found the variety of food choices to be quite good. But after breakfast on the first day, both my husband and I experienced stomach aches and diarrhea. Since we were traveling with a child and needed to take care of them, we had to take turns going to the restroom. On the first day, we ate the food shown in pictures one and two. We're not sure which specific item caused the problem. On the second day, we avoided cold and raw foods, sticking to cooked noodles, steamed eggs, and corn, and we didn't have any stomach issues.
Since we visited midweek, the Western restaurant was closed, so we had dinner at the Chinese restaurant. The food at the Chinese restaurant was quite good and tasty! They provided kids' cutlery, which was very family-friendly.
The hotel facilities were decent, and the garden landscaping was nice. We were traveling with a young baby, and they provided a bed rail. They also helped with luggage during check-in and check-out, which we were quite satisfied with. However, I can't help but complain about a few things:
1. The complimentary drink vouchers were useless. When I asked for red wine, they said it was out of stock. When I asked for sparkling water, they said it had already been given out. In the end, I could only choose canned Coke. The drink in picture 5 was purchased separately and tasted good.
2. The kids' play area was extremely dirty. Before taking my child in, I asked the staff if it had been disinfected. The staff said they used alcohol disinfectant. I then asked how often it was disinfected, and she said daily. Because my child is young and crawls, after playing for a while, their hands were black with a lot of fuzz and black specks. It was very dirty, and I immediately took my child to wash their hands. I suspect it hadn't been cleaned or was only cleaned very infrequently. The space itself was quite large, and the crawling socks were a reasonable 5 yuan a pair.
3. The bedding was unclean. I slept for two nights, and both nights I felt incredibly itchy all over my body. I scratched so much that I had broken skin in several places on my arms and legs. How can a five-star hotel have such unclean bedding?
4. The air conditioning was erratic. Sometimes, even set to 19 degrees, it wasn't effective, and my husband kept saying it was hot. But then sometimes it would suddenly get very cold. Because we had a baby sterilizer and a constant temperature kettle, the power was always on, so the AC was continuously running. I'm not sure if the hotel centrally controls the temperature, but overall, the AC had issues."
