MisooHi's Secret Realm Seaview.
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.
Yuhai Ludao Garden HOTEL
Staying at Yuhai Ludao Garden Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish.

My room was spotless, with plush bedding that made for one of the best nights' sleep I've had in a long time—woke up naturally, refreshed and energized. 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.

The view from the room was breathtaking—open sea and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye could see, making every morning feel like a peaceful escape. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and genuinely helpful, even offering to carry luggage up the stairs—a small but thoughtful gesture that made a big difference. What truly touched me was when the host found out it was my birthday—they surprised me with two boxes of pineapple cakes, which felt so personal and heartfelt. I’d spent weeks comparing options before choosing this place for my birthday getaway, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. If you're visiting Gulangyu, I highly recommend staying here for at least one or two nights.

The room was spotless and incredibly well-maintained, with a smart toilet in the bathroom and a clever dry-wet separation layout for shower and toilet—so practical! There’s also a tiny private courtyard perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea. Just remember to close the screen door at night; otherwise, little mosquitoes are drawn to the light and sneak right in. The dog, named Shisan (which instantly reminded me of Liu Shisan from *Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs*), is adorable and super friendly—always wagging his tail and eager to say hello. The staff went above and beyond: they called and messaged us early to confirm if we needed help checking in ahead of schedule. And the free breakfast? Absolutely heartwarming—a steaming bowl of porridge that warmed me from the inside out. It’s exactly the kind of detail that makes a stay feel personal and special.

Ludao Rongzhan · Chuijiao Lianying | Jinge Xunyang | Military Boutique Stay
Stepping into the courtyard, sunlight filtered through the trees, painting golden patterns on the stone path. A young man in crisp attire was quietly trimming dead branches with focused precision—his movements deliberate yet gentle. When he turned toward me, his bright eyes and warm smile lit up his face like a mountain stream. 'Welcome! Hope you had a good journey,' he said, voice full of energy, carrying the fresh spirit of early morning air. This military-themed boutique stay felt less like a nostalgic museum and more like a vibrant home built by passion. The space is open and airy, immaculately clean—not sterile or cold, but alive with intention. White walls gleam, handrails shine like training equipment, even the potted hydrangeas have leaves so vividly green they look freshly washed. You can feel it: this order comes from someone who lives by high standards, guarding every detail with quiet dedication. Inside, the room continues the theme of clarity and comfort. The small balcony is pure magic—a pair of canvas chairs and a little wooden table, just enough to sit back and watch clouds drift by, listen to wind whispering through the trees, or simply breathe. The 2-meter-wide bed is solid and cozy, perfectly balanced between rugged style and softness. And the standout feature? That standalone white bathtub by the window. After a long day, sinking into warm water with a hint of pine fragrance—it’s instant peace. At night, lying on the balcony under an endless sky, the stars are so close you swear you can hear the universe breathing. Location-wise, it’s surprisingly convenient—major sights feel just around the corner, yet the moment you step back into the courtyard, everything slows down. It’s the perfect base for both adventure and retreat. Later that evening, I saw him sweeping fallen leaves again, carefully gathering them near the tree roots. In that quiet moment, something clicked: this beauty isn’t about history or nostalgia. It’s not preserved—it’s created. By a young soul fully present, pouring love into every corner. Staying here wasn’t just about resting—it was about feeling inspired, recharged, reminded that life can be both grounded and full of light. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a living poem about purpose, energy, and joy.
