I can’t say enough good things about my stay at this incredible homestay on Dongshan Island—it’s hands down one of the best accommodation experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m already counting down the days until I can come back. From the breathtaking sea views to the thoughtful, attentive service, every single detail made my trip unforgettable, and I’m so glad I chose this homestay for my island getaway.
First and foremost, the seaview here is absolutely stunning, beyond anything I could have imagined. The homestay boasts an unbeatable location with unobstructed views of the endless blue sea, and I spent every spare moment just admiring the ocean, both morning and night. Waking up early to watch the soft golden sunrise glisten over the water, with gentle waves lapping against the shore, was the most peaceful way to start each day. As the sun set, the sky painted itself in warm hues of orange and pink, reflecting beautifully on the sea, creating a romantic and serene scene that took my breath away. Even at night, the quiet glow of the moon on the water and the soft sound of waves made the view just as magical. I took countless beautiful photos during my stay, and every snapshot perfectly captures the mesmerizing beauty of this place—no filter could ever do the real scenery justice.
What surprised me most is that the homestay is even more beautiful in person than the online photos. When I booked the room online, the pictures looked lovely, but I didn’t expect the actual space to exceed my expectations by such a large margin. The interior is cozy, clean, and tastefully decorated, with large windows that frame the sea like a living painting. Every corner of the homestay is well-maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The layout is designed to maximize the seaview, so no matter where you are—whether it’s the bedroom, the living area, or the small terrace—you can always feast your eyes on the gorgeous ocean scenery. It’s clear that the host put a lot of love and care into creating this wonderful space.
The service here is incredibly thoughtful and attentive, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The host and all the staff are friendly, warm, and always ready to help with any needs or questions I had. They were quick to respond to messages, offered useful tips for exploring Dongshan Island, and went out of their way to make sure I had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and their genuine hospitality made me feel valued and cared for throughout my trip. Unlike many other accommodations where service feels impersonal, this homestay’s service is heartfelt and dedicated, adding an extra layer of warmth to the entire experience.
I’ve traveled to many coastal destinations, but this homestay on Dongshan Island stands out as a true gem. The combination of picture-perfect sea views, stunning in-person beauty, and top-notch, thoughtful service is simply unbeatable. I left with so many wonderful memories and a heart full of joy, and I will definitely come back again and stay here on my next visit to Dongshan Island.
I highly recommend this homestay to anyone planning a trip to Dongshan Island, whether you’re traveling alone, with a partner, or with friends. If you want to enjoy amazing sea views, relax in a beautiful and comfortable space, and experience warm, professional service, this is the perfect place for you. Thank you to the entire team for such an amazing stay—you’ve made my island trip absolutely perfect, and I can’t wait to return!

Two months later, I turned over Trip.com and suddenly saw that the evaluation in January was not written to make up for it.
The room is clean and tidy. Dongshan Island is very cold in January. The room also provides thick quilts.
Hailexin's people are really super good. I went to see the sunrise with my sisters in Xinjiang and Chengdu in the same bedroom. Rhubarb and Xiaohui. There was also a little brother who took me to Aojiao on an electric bike.
The boss’s people are also super good. I confess that the boss will not ride an electric car on the first night. He borrowed my bicycle to ride a bicycle. The bicycle broke down halfway and drove a motorcycle to save me. I recommended delicious food on the road.
The next day I went to Aujiao Electric Car and there was no electricity. I also came to send the battery. Later, I took me to other attractions. I had to go and sent me to the nearby bus stop.
I had expected to be alone for New Year's Day, but I was flattered by the experience.
The sea breeze on Dongshan Island in January is cold, but it is warm in Haile
What is my next holiday, I will come to Hailexin 🥰🥰🥰

BurgerAucampI enjoyed my stay overall. While the hotel isn’t perfect, it offers great value if you’re looking for a relaxed beach holiday away from the busy tourist areas.
Location
The hotel is in a peaceful area close to Huangcuo Beach and Xitouxia, with plenty of small local seafood restaurants and traditional Chinese eateries nearby. If you’re not into seafood, there are still a few other dining options within walking distance.
It’s about a 30-minute walk to popular cafés like Oncebook Coffee and Snow Peak Café. Further along the beach you’ll also find beach bars such as Breeze Bar and Amoy Beach Bar, where you can enjoy drinks overlooking the ocean. Most of Xiamen’s major attractions, including Shapowei, Zhongshan Road, Gulangyu Ferry Terminal, and MIXC, are around a 20–30 minute taxi ride away, making them easy to reach.
Facilities
The highlight of the hotel is definitely the swimming pool. It’s clean, relaxing, and has two sun loungers, making it a nice place to unwind after a day of exploring. The hotel doesn’t offer breakfast or have its own restaurant, but there are several places nearby where you can eat.
Room
The rooms are spacious and nicely designed, with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide beautiful ocean views. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, with soft memory foam pillows, and the air conditioning works very well—something you’ll definitely appreciate during Xiamen’s summer. The bathroom is modern, with a large rainfall shower that has excellent water pressure.
There are a few downsides, however. The room could be cleaner, and the hotel provides disposable towels instead of regular bath towels, which wasn’t my favourite. There’s also no minibar or mini fridge, which would have been a welcome addition.
Service
The reception staff deserve special mention. The gentleman who checked me in was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. His hospitality left a very positive impression.
Final thoughts
If you’re looking for a quiet beachside stay with comfortable rooms, beautiful ocean views, and don’t mind taking a taxi to Xiamen’s main attractions, this hotel is a solid choice. Just don’t expect luxury facilities or a full-service resort experience.

Guest UserThe best way to describe a great hotel is a home away from home. At Wuyishan Dafangju Villa Hotel, from the interior design to the carefully selected furnishings, you can see the host's thoughtfulness and meticulous hospitality everywhere. The tea sets and cups, flowers and trees in the lobby, every single dish from the private kitchen, and the warm, gentle smile of the hostess all create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. This trip to Wuyi Mountain was truly worthwhile. Dafangju, until we meet again! 🌹🌹🌹

Guest UserMy friends and I all thought this place was fantastic. Tingjian and Wanggui are located in a separate, ancient-style courtyard, full of Zen charm. The owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The hotel's cat, Tangyuan, is also adorable. You can go pet her anytime in the old house, and they even thoughtfully provide freeze-dried treats for her. That little cat just can't resist food! We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in town, highly recommended! The location is also super convenient; most of Quanzhou's attractions and shopping are nearby, making it easy to get around. The food recommendations from the owner were also top-notch, absolutely superb!

Guest UserThe room was spotless, and the service was excellent! They offered a convenient pick-up service from the station, and we were greeted with afternoon tea upon arrival. Every evening, we received a lovely little turndown gift. The hotel's surroundings are beautiful, and the decor is stunning. Right below, there's a small beach where you can hop on a speedboat for a spin. My little one had a blast playing with all the hermit crabs on the beach. The complimentary travel photoshoot provided by the hotel was fantastic and yielded some truly amazing pictures!
