"The Most Correct Decision Ever: Our Stay in a Pool Access Room at The Westin Shimei Bay Wanning. Open the window and dive into summer, turning a vacation into poetry.
Booking a pool access room at The Westin Shimei Bay was the best decision of our trip to Wanning. From the moment we opened the balcony door, we fell completely in love with the relaxed vibe of ”room connected to the pool, step out to the sea.” There were no disappointments, only pleasant surprises.
🌊 Room Type & Space: Bright, Comfortable, and Utterly Vacation-Ready
All pool access rooms are on the ground floor, available in adult pool access and children's pool access variations. We chose the adult twin pool access room, which was about 65㎡, spacious and not at all cramped.
* **Décor Style**: The overall theme is a fresh, oceanic resort style. Light wood furniture is paired with blue and green soft furnishings, incorporating elements of green forest and marine-themed decorations. It's simple yet sophisticated, without overly complex designs, making it very pleasant to the eye.
* **Core Amenities**: It features Westin's signature Heavenly® Bed, with a mattress that's soft yet supportive – you'll fall asleep in seconds. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the Heavenly® Shower has great water pressure. Toiletries are the classic Westin White Tea collection, with a refreshing and therapeutic scent.
* **Balcony Perfection**: My favorite feature was the extra-large balcony, furnished with a rattan sofa, a small coffee table, and a lounge chair. Open the door, and you have direct access to the private pool. No steps, no detours – just change into your swimsuit and step right into the water. This ”one-click access to water” joy is something standard rooms simply can't compare to.
🏊 Pool Experience: Aquatic Freedom, Suitable for All
The hotel has four pools (1 indoor + 3 outdoor). Our pool access room connected to both the adult quiet pool and the children's fun pool, offering an excellent experience.
* **Adult Pool**: The water is crystal clear and clean, with regular daily circulation and cleaning. The water temperature is comfortable. The pool winds through tropical gardens, surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees, offering great privacy so you won't feel watched by passersby. When you're tired from swimming, you can climb back to the balcony and relax on a lounge chair, enjoying the breeze and a cold drink – so relaxing you won't want to move.
* **Children's Pool (Family-Friendly)**: For families with kids, the children's pool access room is perfect. The pool has a shallow area, small slides, and water spray features. There are also scheduled bubble parties with the pool full of colorful bubbles, keeping kids entertained all afternoon. Lifeguards are on duty by the pool, giving parents complete peace of mind.
* **Bonus Points**: The hotel provides free sand-digging tools, regular swimming rings, and even popular flamingo floats for borrowing. No need to lug your own – it's so convenient.
🌴 Hotel Environment & Facilities: A Sight at Every Turn, All Your Needs Met
The Westin's public areas and amenities certainly live up to its reputation as a ”trendy resort hotel,” with photo opportunities everywhere.
* **Stunning Lobby**: The nearly 10,000 sqm open-air ”Eye of the Sky” lobby boasts incredibly high ceilings, with a wooden structure and glass skylight. The cross breeze, carrying the scent of the sea, offers direct views of the lawn, the ocean, and Jiajing Island. During the day, you can see the sky and sea merge; in the evening, you'll witness breathtaking sunsets. Every photo taken here is a masterpiece.
* **Beach at Your Fingertips**: It's a short 2-3 minute walk from the pool area to Shimei Bay Beach. The sand is fine and soft, the seawater is clear and blue, and it's less crowded with peaceful scenery. On the beach, there's the trendy pink HardBar, with pink sofas, a phone booth, and stairs – it's utterly charming and perfect for photos.
* **Dining & Activities**: Breakfast at the ZEST restaurant is incredibly rich in variety, offering Hainanese noodles, Qingbuliang (sweet soup), seafood porridge, and Western pastries, catering to all tastes. Every night at 8:45 PM, there's a 30-minute performance with dance, magic, and fire shows. The hotel also offers activities like mini golf and親子手工 (parent-child crafts), so you won't be bored staying at the hotel.
✨ Check-in Tips
