Hot Springs Hotels in Guangdong, China

We visit this place every year with our elders and children. This is our sixth trip, four days and three nights. This year, the overall service has improved significantly. The restaurant staff are very proactive in anticipating our needs. For instance, when I dropped my chopsticks, someone had already brought a new pair before I even had a chance to ask. Other service staff were also very friendly and answered all our questions with a smile. The newly opened Forest Park makes the whole experience much more enjoyable. I particularly appreciate the canopy and fans above the park – very thoughtful for a Guangdong summer! During our visit, the last two days were half-days of torrential rain, but we were still able to play in this park for most of the day. The park feels comparable to Xigugu, Qingyuan Long, and Naitown, offering a food street + tokens, non-powered rides, mechanical rides (not too thrilling, suitable for elementary schoolers, though the pirate ship is the most intense I've ever ridden!), an indoor park, and a zoo (currently small and a bit smelly). We spent a full day there and only managed to experience about 70% of it superficially. Plus, the in-park consumption is much cheaper compared to the other comparable parks (e.g., renting a buggy for 30 minutes costs 60, which is a steal compared to Qingyuan Long). They also have cosplay NPCs of various characters interacting with kids, answering questions, chatting, and playing rock-paper-scissors. Some NPCs even have hidden interactions, which is quite fun! This year, the three parks (I've always considered the water park as two – one seaside, one indoor) are interconnected, making it less tiring. Thanks to the rain, I finally got to try kayaking, which always has a long queue. Paddling amidst the mountains and water, with no time limit! (No wonder there's always a queue…) I would definitely list this as a must-do for future visits. My room type has undergone some renovation, but please, please change the mattress! It's really too soft, and my back hurts every time I sleep on it. Every hotel I stayed at in Jiangsu and Zhejiang this year had excellent mattresses and pillows! Even chain hotels like Wyndham! Please learn from them! And the swimming channel is still the most fun (the kids are always in the water), the best place for toddlers to learn to swim! But please don't put those boosters in such a narrow channel. They're fun, but genuinely dangerous. This year felt fresh, and there's still plenty to explore. Let's see if the kids remember to come back for their seventh visit next year, haha…

This time, I brought my grandma on a trip. I've been to Huizhou many times before and stayed at various hotels, both higher and lower class than this one in Shuangyue Bay, but this hotel had the best service. Everyone, from the front desk to housekeeping and restaurant staff, was excellent. Since we stayed for two nights, the housekeeping auntie proactively came to clean, and she was very thorough. All in all, I was extremely satisfied.

Seriously unearthed a hidden gem! The environment is incredibly healing; opening the window reveals stunning views of green mountains and trees. The air is fresh, it's wonderfully quiet, and it's so relaxing to be away from the city hustle. The room was clean and tidy, decorated warmly and elegantly, and the bedding was super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The host was very warm, easygoing, and provided thoughtful, meticulous service with great attention to detail. The surrounding scenery is absolutely breathtaking, perfect for photos. Dining and staying here were both very pleasant, and it offers excellent value for money. I'll definitely come back for my next vacation and highly recommend it to everyone!

Nestled between mountains and the sea, the Banyan Tree Zhuhai Phoenix Bay offers private hot spring pools in all its rooms, starting from 87㎡. It seamlessly blends Lingnan waterside village aesthetics with modern coastal design. Guests can enjoy distant views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the Zhuhai Opera House. The hotel also features an outdoor infinity pool, boat tours around the lake, and freshly steamed Cantonese dim sum for breakfast. With impeccable attention to detail and attentive butler service, it's the perfect choice for a luxurious and relaxing getaway. The hotel also provides a complimentary travel photography service. I highly recommend the photographer Xiao Wan (University).

It was almost 8 PM when we got back from Shantou, and the hotel even thoughtfully called to remind us about check-in. The hotel was conveniently located not far from the highway exit. The room layout was well-designed; though not super new, it was perfectly adequate. Soaking in the hot spring tub on the balcony was a great way to wash away the travel fatigue. It's a shame that guests upstairs were still being loud late into the night, but thankfully we're used to going to bed late. In the morning, you can look down from the balcony and see the hot spring pools; there aren't many, but the environment is lovely. Breakfast was decent too. Upon checkout, they even gave us some Longmen local specialties. I'd definitely recommend this hotel as a good rest stop during your travels.

To be honest, the environment was decent, but it's a bit remote. The attitude of the female receptionist was genuinely unfriendly. When I first entered the room, there was a musty smell, and it was quite strong. Considering I paid 1600, it felt like a rip-off, so I requested a room change! Luckily, everything else was fine after that. The staff member with employee ID 1042 had an excellent attitude, and the cleaning lady on the floor was very polite. Based on the so-so experience, I only ended up using the hot spring. Nothing else really hit the mark, so I probably won't be returning.

Located in the valley at the entrance of Conghua Street, the campsite is very large. The whole valley is full of lychee trees. It should be nice to come here in summer. We booked a mountain stream tent, which is quite large. There are two 1.5 beds. The family of three slept very comfortably. There is a large hot spring pool on the balcony. It is very comfortable to take a bath at night. The children went fishing. There are so many fish in the small pond in the campsite. They caught a lot of fish in one or two hours. It was very fun.

The room was really good. We couldn't book a hotel inside Forest Sea for the May Day holiday, so we booked here instead. Overall, I was quite satisfied. The room was spacious enough, and the hot springs were decent, with both indoor and outdoor options. The outdoor hot springs did have some leaves and other debris from the trees. The complimentary fruit and milk were a nice touch, and the fence provided good privacy. The hot springs were open until 11 PM, and we could order takeout. We arrived at 1:30 PM and conveniently got a room on the second floor. After playing at Forest Sea until 9:30 PM, we could still come back to the hotel and enjoy the hot springs. The complimentary breakfast was served at the 'Cloud Something Room' in the lobby, and it was okay. This hotel has definitely become another satisfactory travel experience for me. Even after checking out at 12 PM, we wanted to use the hot springs again, and they provided us with a temporary wristband. Around 2 PM, a clown made crown balloons for the kids, which was a nice touch.

First, the downsides: the room facilities are indeed a bit old, which is understandable given the age of the hotel. Many rooms could use an upgrade in terms of hardware. Now, for the positives: despite the slightly older hardware, the service and management are truly excellent, surpassing many so-called star-rated chain hotels. The butler service is comprehensive and attentive. It's clear that even with the challenging economic environment, the owner is willing to invest in service and soft amenities. You can also catch a glimpse of the fireworks show from the neighboring Forest Sea at 8 PM. And I even noticed a collaboration with my alma mater in the owner's publication – quite a coincidence!

I've stayed at Sanying many times; it's a well-established hot spring hotel. The buffet dinner offers great value for money and is definitely worth it! Breakfast also has a wide variety, meeting five-star hotel standards! After a hike, soaking in the hot springs with the family is always a joy. The surrounding amenities are also getting better and better. I'll definitely be back!
