Luxury Hotels in Beihai

"Stayed at Crowne Plaza Beihai Silver Beach again during the Dragon Boat Festival. 1. The location is excellent, right next to Silver Beach. It's just a few minutes' walk to the sand. The room views are expansive, offering fantastic ocean vistas, making it super convenient for enjoying the beach. 2. The hotel's pool facilities are comprehensive, with clean water and a dedicated children's play area. My kids loved playing in the pool all day long – perfect for families. 3. There was a minor issue during our stay, but the staff responded very quickly after we reported it. The problem was handled properly and efficiently within a short time, which we really appreciated. Special thanks to these four thoughtful staff members: First, on June 20th, a tall, sturdy woman with glasses and short hair in the breakfast buffet restaurant was incredibly warm and attentive, offering help proactively and providing meticulous service. Second, the concierge gentleman who answered the phone around 5:40 PM on June 20th was very quick to resolve our issue, as was the engineering department uncle who came to our room afterward – he was efficient and polite. Third, the concierge uncle (with a bit of a belly, haha) on May 21st at noon, who proactively helped us with our luggage, carefully organizing it into the trunk. He was attentive and thorough throughout. Although it's not the newest hotel on Silver Beach, we've gotten used to it and will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to Beihai."

"This time, I traveled with my family all the way from Suzhou to Beihai. To be honest, Beihai was the core destination of our trip, and we planned to stay there for 3-4 nights. The Marriott was highly recommended and ranked as the number one resort hotel in the area. However, after staying there, I felt that despite its sea view location, many of the accompanying services were lacking. For instance, when we went to the restaurant, no one guided us to a table; we had to find one ourselves. Also, clearing dishes wasn't very prompt; in fact, on the second day, no one cleared them at all, even after we finished eating. Additionally, the fish tank was broken, and despite reporting it twice, it was never fixed by the time we checked out. Other than that, everything else was fine, and the hotel had a full schedule of activities for children every day. I just feel that for the amount of money I spent at this hotel, the overall service and amenities didn't meet my expectations. Some basic things weren't even done. So, for those who haven't been or are considering this as an option, my advice is: if you're not particularly bothered about a direct sea view, there's no need to book this kind of hotel. You can easily book a mid-range hotel like a Hanting or Atour about 2-3 kilometers away. I think they are more standardized, and you can even wash kids' clothes there. Most importantly, those hotels aren't too far from the beach; you can just rent a small electric scooter and ride over in no time, as Beihai isn't that big anyway."

"It takes about ten minutes to get here from the train station. The hotel is located in Beihai Golden Beach, very close to the sea. The room I booked was spacious and well-laid out. It's very convenient for getting around the area. Dining at the hotel is also easy, with various food options available. The service was very warm and welcoming. The hotel environment is also excellent, a top choice for a relaxing vacation! 😂 All in all, highly recommended. I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance."

"Guantouling is a bit out of the way, so if you're not staying at a hotel here, I wouldn't recommend coming. If you're at the Sheraton, everything you need is right there. The beach is very close, and you can rent electric scooters at the entrance to ride to sights like 'Hai Ku Shi Lan' (literally 'sea dry stone rotten', a scenic spot) and Sunset Beach, which are all nearby. A suggestion: the customer service at the entrance is a bit poor; no one helped with our luggage. We had to wait from 12 PM until 2 PM to check in. The efficiency is a bit low. The room also had a strong musty smell. Everything else was decent. However, breakfast and the buffet dinner were a bit disappointing, with very few options."

"The room directly faces Silver Beach, offering unparalleled views, and you can also glimpse the Ferris wheel in the distance from the other side, which is a nice touch. There are both indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a children's play area. The large green space is perfect for soccer and badminton, though we didn't have time to try feeding the small animals this trip. It's truly ideal for kids. Just a heads-up: the beach right in front of the hotel is great for foraging during low tide. If you want to swim, you'll need to walk a little further to the right, but it's still very close."

"As a huge hotel enthusiast who has stayed at numerous high-end hotels both domestically and internationally, this stay at Song Hotel was once again a pleasant surprise, exceeding my expectations. This surprise wasn't sudden; it accumulated little by little throughout the stay, transforming into a constant sense of awe and wonder. Initially, the hotel's color scheme seemed a bit odd, but I later learned it was the color of the sunset glow on the old buildings. This nostalgic and genuine warmth permeated every aspect of the hotel's service. Because the hotel was still in its soft opening phase, I was upgraded to a suite! I was overjoyed. 🛏️ Suite Experience Over 100 square meters. The suite included an indoor soaking tub and swimming pool. The color scheme was simple and elegant—a combination of off-white, light brown, and dark wood tones, instantly creating a relaxing atmosphere. The view from the window overlooked the Silver Beach! The room amenities were top-of-the-line, from bedding to toiletries, with attention to detail everywhere. 🍽️ Dining Stunning Completely unlike anything I'd expected from a third-tier city. The selection of breakfast items was simply unbelievable for a city like this. Makana Bakery, located in the bakery, offers locally inspired bread innovations—Guangxi Liubao Tea Croissant, Pandan Coconut Croissant, Lychee Sea Salt Croissant—bringing local flavors and French baking techniques together beautifully, rivaling boutique bakeries in first-tier cities. I tried the coffee shop, Chinese restaurant, and ice cream shop one by one, and each exceeded my expectations. The hotel dedicated significant space to local cultural exhibitions. As a keen citywalker, I was exhausted from exploring Beihai's old streets and various seaside areas, but surprisingly, the most insightful experience of the city came from the hotel's exhibition hall 🤣 The curation was excellent. The curatorial text and style were tasteful. It wasn't just a perfunctory display of folk customs, but a genuine exploration of the city's historical context and way of life—from maritime culture to the memories of the Tanka people, from the old street fabric to the evolution of contemporary Beihai. It was also a photogenic spot. Another feature of the hotel is the inclusion of a collection space showcasing several high-quality niche brands. From luxury lifestyle products to carefully selected souvenirs, everything was practical, stylish, and imbued with Beihai's essence. These brands offer excellent taste and value for money. Although I also visited other places and tried several hotels, I felt that this hotel was enough for my trip to Beihai. I could relax, enjoy the sea view, shop, and eat to my heart's content. Finally, let me talk about the service. It wasn't the professional hotel service I'd expected. Having stayed in top-tier hotels, I understand the natural and welcoming atmosphere of a butler. But perhaps because it had just opened, many people's eyes held a touch of naivety and unfamiliarity. They were cautious yet attentive, which was especially endearing. That simple, unfamiliar sincerity was touching. You could see their dedication. As a Ctrip Black Diamond member, I've stayed in countless great hotels. This is the first time I've written such a thoughtful review. Because this place is more than just a hotel; it allowed me to rediscover Beihai. It also solved the pain points of traveling in a third- or fourth-tier city regarding dining, service, and the aesthetics and practicality of souvenirs (and the value for money was excellent). This wasn't just a place to stay; it was a key to understanding Beihai and a haven for my short stay."

"This place deserves five stars – absolutely flawless, even exceeding expectations! 1. Even before check-in, the butler created a chat group. My requests were met with almost instant replies, and any questions could be addressed directly in the group. 2. At the pier, someone was waiting with a sign to pick us up. Upon arrival, staff helped with luggage and handled the check-in process. 3. Right after entering, we received a welcome kit with an umbrella, mosquito repellent bracelet, a mini-fan, and aloe vera gel – incredibly practical given the island's strong sun and numerous mosquitoes. 4. Our room had a private pool/plunge pool, and stepping outside led to a larger pool that directly connected to the sea. Relaxing in the pool while watching the ocean was so therapeutic. 5. The service was perfectly balanced – not intrusive, but always responsive to our needs. The butler was available 24/7, the poolside water was always full, and towels were replaced promptly. 6. Breakfast could be ordered in advance via phone and was delivered to the room without limit. The rice noodles and ice cream toast were especially delicious. 7. Dinner reservations could be made in advance. We happened to catch a breathtaking 'fire cloud' sunset that evening. 8. When my slippers didn't fit, the butler immediately brought new ones. Attention to detail was impeccable. 9. Upon entering the room, the butler thoroughly explained how all switches and facilities worked – very responsible. 10. I highly recommend all three meals. They were tastier than the popular spots on the island, and you could choose to have them delivered to your room or dine in the restaurant. Prices were also reasonable. Summary: The service was thoughtful but not annoying, the facilities were comfortable, the views were unbeatable, and the dining was a major plus. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Weizhou Island."

"This stay was on the night before leaving Beihai at the end of our trip. The Wyndham's room was very spacious and clean. The breakfast was also excellent. When we checked out, the staff enthusiastically helped us with our luggage to the car, so the service was great. The only downside was that the hairdryer in the room was very old-fashioned, making for a very unpleasant experience. I suggest they update it immediately to keep up with the times. (The other hotels we stayed at in Beihai and Weizhou Island all had Dyson hairdryers.) In comparison, this one felt very subpar and didn't match the hotel's positioning."

"For this May Day holiday, I chose the Shangri-La Hotel, and as an established hotel, the service was indeed excellent. Long before our arrival, they assigned Ivy, our butler, to assist us with various arrangements, making our check-in incredibly smooth. The hotel breakfast also has a children's area, though it's a bit small. Throughout our stay, any questions we had were answered promptly, and they even helped us book children's activities and a travel photoshoot."

"First off: The facilities are great, definitely living up to its reputation as a top family-friendly hotel. It's right by the beach, with an excellent location and comprehensive amenities. However, the service staff left a bit to be desired. 1. When checking in, I asked how often the pool water is changed. They immediately said daily. When I pressed for specific times, they couldn't answer and later called back to say it's continuously filtered. Their attitude was good, but the answer felt overly perfunctory and dismissive. 2. The check-in guide stated breakfast hours were 6:30 AM - 10:30 AM. However, when I went at 9:40 AM, they were already clearing the hot food section. The restaurant staff told me that 10:30 AM is only for weekends, and it's 10:00 AM on other days. This misinformation significantly impacted my experience. 3. On the second morning, even with the hotel fully booked and me waiting for half an hour for a table at 9:30 AM, they started clearing breakfast around 10:10 AM. It felt very rigid. 4. When my room was cleaned for the extended stay, I found a discount coupon for the buffet dinner. However, when I asked at the front desk, they said it wasn't open and was only available on weekends. Yet, when I went to the restaurant that evening, it was open as usual. 5. During both check-in and check-out, no one asked if I was driving or needed my license plate registered. Consequently, I was stuck at the parking gate when checking out on the third day. 6. The second day's complimentary fruit platter was being delivered to other rooms while we were out, but we didn't receive ours when we returned. 7. The air conditioning was excessively noisy and couldn't be adjusted for temperature or fan speed; it was just an on/off switch for centralized control. 8. When I ordered takeout, the delivery driver said a hotel robot would bring it. After waiting over twenty minutes without receiving it, I finally went to the takeout shelf to pick it up myself. My cold drink was almost warm by then. Oh, and one more thing: the Haagen-Dazs ice cream scoops at the afternoon tea, while not expensive, were full of ice chips when served. My child, who loves ice cream, ate it for two days like that..."
