Stayed at Lujiang Mega Hotel during New Year's in Xiamen and was completely blown away by the experience. The location is unbeatable—right next to Zhenzhu Bay Beach, perfect for families with kids who love digging in the sand and enjoying the sea breeze on a bike ride. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. Staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—always smiling, ready to help, and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, and they even included a complimentary afternoon tea, which was such a nice surprise. The outdoor pool and dedicated family-friendly activity space made it ideal for both relaxation and fun. My kids had a blast, and I felt completely recharged. This hotel truly delivers on every level—comfort, convenience, and service. I’d absolutely stay here again if I ever return to Xiamen!

Staying at Almeta Fairyland was an absolute delight! The facilities are comprehensive—everything you'd need is well-maintained and thoughtfully provided, from the cozy bed to the modern bathroom. What truly stood out was the serene environment; right behind the hotel is a small hill with fresh, clean air that fills the space. Waking up to that peaceful view was such a treat. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive—always smiling, ready to help, and making you feel genuinely welcome. Location-wise, it’s super convenient for getting around the city via public transit, just a short ride to downtown. This place offers exceptional value, and I’d definitely book again. A hidden gem in Xiamen!

I started with a king-size room and later switched to a twin-bed room. Honestly, I found the king-size room had a more spacious and open layout—much more comfortable overall. The twin room was still quite large, but felt slightly cramped in comparison, especially the bathroom area. It also seemed less well-maintained—the tiles had water stains, and there was a faint odor coming from the drain. That said, cleanliness across the room was still good, and the beds were nicely soft with high-quality linens that made for a very restful night’s sleep. If the twin room’s maintenance could be improved—especially around the bathroom—the experience would be even better. Overall, the king-size room stood out as the clear winner in terms of comfort and space, making it a great choice for travelers who value a relaxed, airy feel.

We first visited this place 30 years ago during our honeymoon—just one night, but it left a lasting impression. Back then, the vast beach had only this garden villa, with its own private dock—so unique and iconic. Fast forward to today, we returned to relive those memories, and were amazed by how much the hotel has evolved. Now a three-story modern property with a swimming pool and full dining service, it’s no longer just for government officials’ retreats. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming—especially when we arrived with heavy luggage; the bellhop immediately stepped in to help carry our bags to the room. A special shout-out to the male restaurant manager, Xiao Lan, who greeted us with genuine enthusiasm. He personally handled all our meal arrangements over two days, and every dish was delicious and thoughtfully curated. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh seafood, steak, fruit, pastries, plus a wide variety of drinks and vegetables, truly on par with a five-star hotel. This anniversary trip exceeded all expectations. We’re already planning our next visit to Gulangyu—this is hands-down our top choice, not just for nostalgia but for the exceptional experience and value. Highly recommended!

Staying at the Shuiyuan Villa section of Seaview Resort Xiamen was an absolute highlight of our trip. The room was spacious, with a huge balcony that offered a perfect view of the lush garden—ideal for relaxing in the morning sun or enjoying quiet evenings. Getting to the beach was super easy, and the shuttle service arrived promptly, making transportation hassle-free. We especially loved the quieter, more private atmosphere of the Shuiyuan area—it truly felt like a hidden retreat tucked within nature. Breakfast had a few à la carte options, and every dish we tried was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. The staff were consistently warm and welcoming—the housekeeper Xiao Luo went above and beyond, always smiling and ready to help. What really touched us was how thoughtful they were when our child turned five: they arranged a little birthday setup and even brought out a sweet cake. It made the whole stay feel extra special. We’ll definitely be back whenever we visit Xiamen—this resort offers an unbeatable mix of comfort, serenity, and genuine hospitality.

The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained with modern amenities—perfect for a relaxing stay. What truly stood out was the direct access to the scenic coastal walking trail; just step outside and you're surrounded by lush greenery and ocean views. The nearby Shangli Reservoir and Pan Gui Tower are must-see spots in Xiamen, and being able to reach them effortlessly on foot made the experience even more special. Breakfast was generous and delicious—great variety of options, both local and international flavors. The staff, especially Xiao Wang, went above and beyond with warm, attentive service. He helped with recommendations and even assisted with local travel tips. I genuinely felt welcomed. I’m already planning my next trip to Xiamen and will absolutely be booking here again. A top-tier choice for anyone visiting this beautiful city.

Staying at this place was a great experience overall. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had all the essentials we needed. The balcony offered stunning sea views—perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset. It’s also very convenient for getting around; we took the metro to explore nearby spots without any hassle. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, so dining options were excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We were hoping to use the Zhuyanji photography pass, but unfortunately it was fully booked when we tried to reserve it (you need to book at least one day in advance). Still, despite that small disappointment, the quality of the stay made up for it. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you're looking for a peaceful yet well-connected getaway.

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.

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.

Staying at MisooHi Nanxia Hidden Sea View Hotel was an absolute delight! I originally booked a room in the homestay area, but was upgraded to the hotel section—definitely worth it. The room was incredibly quiet and cozy, with a private bathtub that made for a perfect evening soak after a long day. Located right in the heart of Zengcuo'an, dining options are abundant and super convenient—just step outside and you're surrounded by local eateries and cafes. The only minor downside is that there's ongoing road construction just outside the entrance, so extra caution is needed when entering or exiting. But overall, getting to the beach is effortless—just open the window and enjoy the sea view. The ambiance is peaceful, the location is unbeatable, and the value for money is outstanding. Highly recommend this gem!

Check-in was super smooth—using the self-service kiosk with ID scanning made everything quick and secure. The room itself is well-designed with excellent airflow, so it never felt stuffy. Front desk staff were very accommodating and never rushed us to check out, which added to the relaxed vibe. That said, since there weren’t many guests around that night, the place felt a bit quiet—almost too peaceful for some. If you’re looking for a serene escape away from the crowds, this is perfect. But if you prefer a livelier atmosphere, you might find it a little too quiet. Overall, great value for money and ideal for travelers who enjoy peace and quiet.

I stayed in a room with a private terrace and it was absolutely perfect. The room itself was spotless, cozy, and well-designed, but the real highlight was the spacious terrace with a swing — lying back on it, gazing at the view, felt like pure relaxation. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even offered to carry my luggage and gave great recommendations for local restaurants. I tried one of their suggestions and it was fantastic — authentic flavors and great value. Everything about this stay was seamless and enjoyable. If friends ever come to Xiamen, this is definitely where I’ll send them first. A truly memorable experience.
