Wutong Fliport Hotel
Wanda Commercial Area/Wuyuanwan
4.8/59080 Reviews
FromS$105.00
This is a great hotel. Nice private beach. Nice facilities. But - oh dear. I have never stayed in a hotel that has so many systemic service issues. The staff - Grace, William, Clover couldn’t be nicer. The policies are terrible. Not one day went by without a service issue. BBQ on the beach - nice. Cold wine, a problem. Wrong room service delivered - 1 1/2hrs to fix it !. Not one bar has everything it needs to make anything more than a simple drink. Took an hour to get a smoothie. The private beach is nice - but when the tide comes in, the enclosed pool becomes full of rubbish. No one cleans it until after the tide goes out. So not usable in the afternoon. The Endless bar - can’t do anything but basic food. So order room service to be delivered there. Although that’s a challenge for them ! Peak breakfast is a major queue - right across the lobby. Amazed me that they prevent you from eating outside - even though they had tables & chairs. This hotel is really meant for families to have a simple holiday, buffet meals - not someone looking for service.

The location is in a commercial building on Zhongshan Road. The service attitude is very good. It just keeps calling to ask how you are staying. Call before check-in, check-in once, check-out and check-out. I really admire the spirit of calling . But it feels like trying to use the wrong place. When I checked in and opened the door, I was a bit shocked. There was nothing to go directly to the stairs. I had to go up the stairs directly with the suitcase. I looked at the picture and booked a double room, but I didn’t see any hint about this room type from Ctrip. My parents are too old to accept this type of room, so I immediately went to the front desk to change rooms. The front desk said that we are all duplex rooms here. It is difficult to change rooms. Later, they changed to a small room of 20 square meters on the third floor. I booked it for two days. I said that I would change to the second floor the next day. The leveling was indeed changed the next day. The height of the floor was 2.1 meters. If a basketball player moved in, his head would definitely reach the ceiling. To be honest, the facilities inside are quite new, and the breakfast is also good, except for the most unbearable height of the floor is the Internet and TV. The Internet wifi is not available on the 3rd floor. It is connected to the 2nd floor, which is slower than the 2g network speed. , The check-in day is the last day of 2020. I wanted to watch the New Year’s Eve party on various satellite TVs in the hotel, but the TV was paused after 10 minutes of playing, and it had to be restarted. I was speechless and had to give up. Trouble the hotel management staff not to focus on the phone, their own software is hard enough to get good reviews.

The room was really spacious and neat. The morning buffet breakfast was simply amazing. Plenty of options, variety and quality food. The restaurant on the 7th floor is also very nice. I went to other hotel's restaurants and this one was the best in my opinion. Very nice service both during the check-in and check-out. One minute walking from the pedestrian street. Will repeat for sure!

Had the most wonderful stay at the EthOs hotel!! The staff were amazing and very efficient, always wanted to help and were available always! Even the little robots that I named Fred were fantastic and a real pleasure to watch. Fred joined you in the lifts and brought you food, a brilliant factor to the hotel and so niche. We will 10000% rebook at some point in the future. It was clean, the suite was devine and I cannot recommend it enough! Thank you EthOs!

Bear Resort Gulangyu Island
Gulangyu Scenic Area
4.8/57680 Reviews
FromS$38.00
My girlfriend and I stayed at Bear Bowen Hotel in Kulangsu (Gulangyu Island) last January 9, 2019. I highly recommend the hotel because of the following reasons: 1. The hotel is the nearest accommodation from the dock in the island, approximately just a 5-minute leisure walk as you enjoy the cool breeze and the beautiful view of Xiamen city. 2. As you enter the vicinity of the hotel, you will already feel that you will definitely enjoy your stay due to the cozy aura and aesthetics of the place. They also have accommodating crews who are very prompt and polite to aid you with everything that you need or request. 3. In the afternoon of our first day, we requested a transfer for we wanted a bigger room. They immediately granted this request and gave us a bigger room. In fact, they even let us choose our preferred room between two equally beautiful rooms. 4. The rooms (especially the bathrooms) are very clean. Everything is in motif: the wall, the bed, the toiletries, and they even have a cute stuffed bear on the beds of each room. 5. As a souvenir, you can play the 'crane machine' and have the chance to get any size of a cute stuffed bear located in the lobby. Overall, our rating for the place is 5/5. We even planned to extend our stay for the second day but unfortunately, all the rooms were already fully-booked. When we asked one of the crews if there is a hotel near their hotel where we can stay, he accompanied us until we reached the entrance of the new place. Thank you Bear Bowen Hotel. You were definitely one of the reasons why we will go back to Gulangyu. ♥️🐻♥️
