Ocean View Hotels in Guangdong, China

I really love this hotel, it's definitely one of the top ones in Zhanjiang. The high-floor indoor and outdoor swimming pools are amazing, especially the outdoor one with its incredible sea views. The sea view rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are huge too. The hotel's buffet ingredients are decent, though the food isn't kept warm very well, and the taste is generally just average. However, the cheong fun at breakfast is excellent. It's super convenient to step out of the hotel and take a stroll across the street; the scenery there is lovely.

Initially, I was a bit worried because I read online reviews saying it was noisy, but after checking in, I found it to be perfectly acceptable. The environment is clean and thoughtful, and the front desk service was excellent; they even gave us complimentary fruit. The bathroom was spotless and well-equipped with thoughtful touches. Plus, there are plenty of great food options within 300 meters downstairs. It's just a few minutes' walk from Zhuhai Station, making it super convenient for getting to the Macau border and well-connected to everything.

This is my third time staying at this hotel. There are many similar establishments in the area, and rooms are randomly assigned across three buildings. This time, I was on the 2nd floor, so the view wasn't spectacular, but lower floors have their advantages, like not having to wait for elevators during peak hours. The room's amenities are well worth the 200+ price tag. However, if there aren't any exhibitions at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, it's really quiet around here – a hidden gem for budget travelers. Not much else to say, so I'll just share some photos to help you find your way (because of energy-saving measures at the subway station, you'll likely need to exit from C and take the stairs next to C2 up to the overpass. Cross the road, turn left, and you'll see what's in my first picture. Keep following the path in the photos until you reach ANOBOT, then follow that corridor, take the elevator down, and turn left. You'll then see what's in the 7th picture – I forgot to photograph the entrance itself. In the last picture, keep walking until you pass the second apartment building, and you'll quickly see it. The very last photo is its entrance.

Overall, I'm very satisfied. I was given a sea-view room with a great outlook. I had originally booked a room without breakfast through a third-party platform and thought my Hilton Honors membership would get me free breakfast, but I was told that the third-party booking couldn't be recognized for membership benefits. However, a staff member named Rainbow helped me arrange breakfast, which was fantastic! It's great value for money during the off-season, not crowded at all, the breakfast is plentiful, and the room is very spacious.

My stay at Le Méridien Huizhou Xiaojing Bay was actually pretty good. I saw a lot of negative reviews and was hesitant about coming, but I decided to give it a try in the end. After all, nothing is perfect, and I wanted to experience it for myself. I chose to check in before the holiday to avoid the crowds, so the hotel wasn't at full capacity that day. They proactively upgraded my room and, during check-in, provided a detailed introduction to the fire dance performance and essential room and hotel information. Regarding the room, I stayed on the west side, near the pool and greenway. The sea view was fantastic. I saw many people debating whether the sea view was 180 degrees, even complaining and giving bad reviews over it. I honestly find that hard to understand. A vacation is about relaxing, enjoying the comfort and tranquility of the seaside, not obsessing over angles. The view was already spacious enough. Do you really need to be in the middle of the sea for it to be perfect, haha? The room was a bit humid, but I accepted it. If you choose to stay by the sea, you have to accept that with the current weather in Guangdong, it's like that everywhere, especially by the sea. The hotel staff were very friendly; everyone greeted me. Even the cleaning aunties said hello. Right outside the hotel is a commercial street that can meet basic needs, and the greenway is within walking distance – an excellent choice for a walk or bike ride 🚴♀️ in the morning or after dinner. Overall, the experience was quite good, not as exaggerated as many reviews suggested. Perhaps it's because I didn't go on a weekend or a holiday. Travel experiences are inherently personal, and only by feeling the sea breeze and sunshine can you create your own beautiful memories.

The location of Chimelong Hengqin Bay Hotel is truly unbeatable. It was a quick taxi ride from Zhuhai Airport, and it's very close to Hengqin Port. For families, the shuttle to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom only takes a few minutes. Nearby, there's Mangzhou Wetland Park with fresh air, and the Flower Sea Corridor, which is lovely for an evening stroll. Macau Legend Palace is within walking distance, offering dining, shopping, and movies. Plus, there's a 24-hour convenience store for snacks and drinks. The hotel exterior resembles a grand European castle, quite impressive. However, stepping into the lobby, it feels elegantly vintage and opulent – overall, very tasteful. The room isn't huge but is warmly decorated. The bedding is clean, and the bathroom has a separate shower and toilet with great water pressure. The hotel Wi-Fi is fast, perfect for streaming videos without lag. The parking lot is spacious and free, with security guards directing traffic. Check-in at the front desk was quick, and the staff were friendly. Overall, it offers convenient transportation, an elegant environment, and is family-friendly. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time.

It is very convenient to get to Kanamachi Bay from the high-speed rail station. The hotel has a front desk that is easy to find. It is the off-season and the price/performance ratio is very high. The store also upgraded me to a sea view room. The bed in the room is very comfortable and the sound insulation is also very good. The service at the front desk and in the guest room is very good. If necessary, they will follow up promptly. I will choose this hotel next time I come to Kanamachi Bay.

Irene from Guest Relations called ahead to ask about my room preferences and even added me on WeChat, so I could contact her anytime with requests. She replied quickly even at 9 or 10 at night, for which I'm very grateful. The hotel faces the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and is a 15-20 minute walk from Gongbei Port. There's a convenience store downstairs, and popular restaurants like Jin Yue Xuan and Xie Cheng Seafood Hotpot are nearby. My personal pet peeve: I can accept a hotel not having a smart toilet, but no soft-close lid is just something I can't understand.

The front desk staff provided courteous and attentive service, responding promptly and knowledgeably to most of our inquiries. Unfortunately, the overall condition of the hotel facilities appeared dated and in need of maintenance and upgrades. During our three-night stay, we encountered a significant issue on one evening when there was no hot water available for showering. After contacting housekeeping, we were informed that only one staff member was on duty that night and he was extremely busy, and no assistance was provided. Fortunately, hot water service resumed the following day without further intervention. Additionally, the swimming pool area presented several concerns. On the day of our visit, no locker keys were available for female guests, despite the pool being relatively uncrowded with only a few families present. It was unclear why the keys were unavailable or had been depleted. The restrooms adjacent to the pool were also in poor condition—noticeably unclean and infested with numerous mosquitoes—which raised questions about regular cleaning and pest control standards. While the staff were polite, these recurring facility and maintenance issues significantly detracted from our experience. As a result, I would not recommend this hotel to any friends or family at this time.

This hotel is located right on Lovers' Road, and you can enjoy direct sea views and a view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge from both the front desk and your room. It's a shame the weather wasn't great these past couple of days. The front desk offers complimentary self-service snacks and tea, and there's even late-night supper available after 10 PM, though I didn't get to try it as it was too late. The hotel isn't far from Gongbei Port, making it very convenient to get to Macau. Plus, there are several restaurants right downstairs, so dining is super easy. Highly recommend!
