TUI BLUE XIAMEN SEASIDE HOT SPRING

The hotel's decor exudes luxury without feeling over-the-top, and the festive touches are tasteful and thoughtful. The front desk staff went above and beyond—welcoming us with warm smiles and upgrading us to a room with floor-to-ceiling windows without hesitation. It’s clear they care about guest experience. But the real highlight? The stunning ocean view combined with the private outdoor hot spring. Soaking in the warm waters while gazing at the sea was pure bliss—any stress just melted away. This place feels like a true retreat, effortlessly blending comfort, beauty, and relaxation. I’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

HUALUXE Xiamen Haicang Harbour View by IHG

Check-in was a bit stressful at first, but the on-duty manager handled everything with great empathy and professionalism. After a calm conversation, the issue was resolved smoothly—and they even surprised me with afternoon tea, evening entertainment, and a bottle of wine. The next day’s airport transfer was excellent too; driver Andy was friendly, courteous, and helped carry my luggage without being asked. We had a pleasant chat throughout the ride. A few suggestions for improvement: the afternoon tea selection was limited, and the fruit—especially the watermelon—wasn’t very fresh. Dinner options were also quite narrow. The room stayed chilly despite running the heater all night—temperature barely reached 15°C, so adding a heating option would be helpful. Also, breakfast was missing some items, and they weren’t replenished promptly. That said, the overall experience was still positive. The staff responded quickly to feedback, and the views from the room were stunning—especially sunrise in the morning. One small disappointment: no capsule or instant coffee available, which is common even in budget hotels. Adding that would make the stay much more convenient for guests who rely on coffee.

Following the photos provided by the staff made finding the hotel super easy—right across from San Yi Tang, so it’s very easy to spot. What stood out most was the luggage transfer service; traveling with an elderly person and a child, I can’t imagine managing without it. Navigating around Gulangyu is notoriously tricky, but the visual guidance really saved the day. The breakfast was thoughtfully prepared and incredibly delicious, and the afternoon tea set was a delightful bonus. Sipping tea in the second-floor garden felt like a peaceful retreat—perfect for unwinding and even saving money on coffee. Overall, this stay was exceptional from start to finish. The hospitality, attention to detail, and serene atmosphere make it a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Wyndham Grand Xiamen Haicang

The room was spotless and the sea view was absolutely breathtaking—truly unforgettable. Upon arrival, the hotel proactively called to check on our needs, which showed such thoughtful service. Our original twin-bed room wasn’t ideal for traveling with kids, so they instantly upgraded us to a family-friendly room with an enormous bed—perfect for everyone! One highlight was the kids’ play area on the 4th floor. We called ahead, and within just one minute, someone opened the door. Even though it was just us, the concierge manager Andy Yang personally stayed with our child, playing games and keeping him entertained—our little one had a blast. When we were leaving, Andy walked us all the way to the car, reminded the kid to dress warmly, and made sure he wouldn’t catch a cold. That level of care truly touched us. From start to finish, every detail felt personal and warm. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s a home away from home. I’ll definitely come back here next time I visit Xiamen.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful surprise for the price. From the moment I booked, I received a helpful travel guide and timely reminders about purchasing ferry tickets—perfect for someone like me who tends to procrastinate. The customer service was prompt, accurate, and genuinely attentive. I casually asked whether a certain restaurant was open, and the staff didn’t just check—it took the time to call them directly to confirm, saving me from a wasted trip. That kind of thoughtful care is rare and deeply appreciated. The luggage transfer service was incredibly convenient too; the staff member happily carried my heavy bags without hesitation. I stayed in the attic room, which came with a spacious bathtub—ideal after a full day of city walking. Just soaking in it felt like a full reset. The private courtyard and rooftop terrace are stunning—each corner feels like a little escape. Simply sitting there, enjoying the breeze and views, was pure relaxation. This place truly delivers comfort, charm, and exceptional hospitality.

The staff went above and beyond: they helped me plan my itinerary and even offered free luggage storage. It’s clear they care about guest experience. A top-tier stay with exceptional value—definitely coming back!

New Year's Eve 2025 was truly special thanks to our stay at Gulangyu Baiwenxiong Hotel (Sanqiutian Wharf).

The room was immaculate, thoughtfully decorated with a clean, calming vibe. The bedding was incredibly soft and comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep.

Gulangyu Lijiayuan Seaview Villa Hotel (Sanqiutian Wharf)

Our kids specifically asked to stay here — and we’re so glad they did! The room was fantastic, and even though it’s been two years since our last visit, it still feels brand new with clean, well-maintained furnishings. The only minor downside is the empty pool in the courtyard — it looks a bit bare without water, but adding some plants could really bring it to life. Still, the swing was a big hit — my kids were swinging non-stop and laughing their heads off! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from Sanqiutian Wharf, and the overall vibe is peaceful and charming. For families looking for a relaxing, authentic getaway on Gulangyu Island, this place is absolutely worth a return visit.

More Fun Hotel

I chose this hotel mainly because of the round-trip luggage transfer service, and I’m so glad I did—everything exceeded my expectations. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, the atmosphere was stunning, with picturesque views in every direction, making it a perfect spot for photos. The front desk staff were incredibly attentive, offering detailed explanations and helpful tips about the area. Many travelers assume hotels on Gulangyu Island are expensive, but this 4-star property offered incredible value—priced at just half of what I paid for a 5-star option elsewhere. Even more impressive was the breakfast experience: I booked three breakfasts, but the room only came with two. When I mentioned this, the manager kindly confirmed all three could be enjoyed by our group—a rare and thoughtful gesture I’ve never experienced before. The breakfast itself was delicious and well-balanced. After check-out, I even received a friendly message checking if I arrived safely at my next destination. It’s these little touches that make the stay truly memorable. I’ll definitely be returning.

Xiamen Harbor Bay Hotel (Zhongshan Road First Wharf Store)

We stayed at this hotel during the New Year holiday with our own car, and the main reason for choosing it was the availability of parking — especially important during peak seasons when spaces fill up quickly. We were lucky to secure a spot on a first-come, first-served basis, which worked out well. My room was from the original section, not the recently renovated wing, but cleanliness was excellent — everything felt fresh, including crisp linens and a spotless bathroom with no water stains. The staff went above and beyond: front desk personnel and housekeeping were friendly and helpful, even offering me a tea set for my stay — such a thoughtful touch. One thing to note: the elevator requires a room key card, so food deliveries had to be left in the lobby. However, walking to the bustling Baishi Market only takes about 10–15 minutes (including crossing busy intersections), making it easy to explore local street food and vibe. Overall, despite minor logistics, the location, cleanliness, and warm service made this a truly enjoyable stay. I’d definitely come back if I visit Xiamen again.

The staff went above and beyond: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with any request, no matter how small. Breakfast was served at a nearby restaurant across the street, and it was a real highlight—authentic local flavors, fresh ingredients, and a great variety. I especially loved the traditional breakfast items like congee and egg tarts. The location couldn't be better—it's literally steps away from Sanqutian Ferry Pier, making it super easy to explore the island by foot or boat. Whether you're here for a romantic getaway or a quiet retreat, this place hits all the right notes. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Xiamen.
