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 location of this hotel is absolutely perfect—just a 50-meter walk up leads directly to the scenic coastal trail, which takes you straight to Pan Gui Tower. I woke up early one morning just to catch the sunrise from the hotel’s rooftop terrace, and the view of the sea was breathtaking. Even from the room, the ocean views were stunning, making every moment feel like a getaway. The staff, especially the concierge, went above and beyond—when the mirror light was too bright at night, I simply called for help and they arrived promptly to fix it with blackout film. Their responsiveness and attention to detail made all the difference. This place isn’t just convenient; it’s truly a hidden gem in Xiamen with an unbeatable combination of nature, comfort, and service.

Just wrapped up a perfect three-day, two-night getaway at Xiamen Xishu Seaview Villa (Huandao Road Huangcuo Beach Branch), and honestly, it completely surpassed all my expectations. This place isn’t just a stay—it’s a true island escape that captures the soul of coastal living. Right from arrival, everything felt effortless and luxurious. The location is unbeatable—just a 3-minute walk to Huangcuo Beach, one of the most peaceful stretches along the Huandao Road. Waking up to sunrise painting the ocean in golden hues, then strolling barefoot on soft sand at sunset—feels like you’ve got the whole shoreline to yourself. Getting around is a breeze: a quick 10-minute ride to Zengcuo'an Village and Shapowei Art Zone, or 15 minutes to Xiamen University and Zhongshan Road for shopping and street food. Whether you’re biking along the scenic coastal road or hopping on an electric scooter, the freedom is real. Plus, free parking and dedicated EV charging spots make it super convenient for self-drive travelers. The villa itself is stunning—this is not your average hotel room. We stayed in a standalone cottage with a 200㎡ private garden lush with greenery. Afternoon tea under the shade, evening barbecue parties, or even a cozy outdoor movie night—all possible here. Inside, the design blends modern minimalism with tropical charm. The shared lounge features a home theater, karaoke setup, and a tranquil tea room, so even if it rains, you’ll never run out of fun. Our A-block Light Deluxe Room had floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea, smart toilet, disposable towels, UV sterilization tech, and bedding with a subtle, calming scent. Sleep quality? Sky-high. But what truly stood out was the service—the staff feel less like employees and more like personal island concierges. They upgraded our room without hesitation, tailored a full 3-day itinerary based on our interests, recommended hidden gem seafood spots locals love, showed us how to use e-ID for check-in, and even brought out digging tools and kids’ sunscreen when we mentioned our little ones would want to play in the sand. At checkout, we were gifted handmade seaweed snacks and postcards, and they even helped load our luggage into the car. The cherry on top? They remembered I mentioned loving soft pillows—by morning, two memory-foam pillows were quietly added to the room. That level of care is rare. Breakfast was a solid Chinese-style buffet—rice porridge, buns, fresh fruit—perfect for local palates. But the real adventure was exploring nearby: five-minute walk to authentic Sha Cha Mian and ginger duck joints, and a must-visit to Zengcuo'an Night Market for unforgettable street eats. We even cooked a fresh seafood hotpot in the open kitchen using ingredients bought straight from the nearby pier—fresh, affordable, and incredibly satisfying. And let’s talk about photography: this place is a visual dream. From the white sheer curtains in the garden to the hanging bed on the rooftop deck, and the vibrant rainbow lanes of the coastal road—every corner is Instagram-worthy. We dressed in light-colored dresses and snapped a ‘fake Bali vacation’ photoshoot on the beach. My friends kept asking where it was! In short, this is a high-value, low-stress retreat. For under $70 per person, you get prime beach access, private villa vibes, meticulous cleanliness (yes, even the toilet seat cover was single-use!), and 24/7 attentive support. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, family trip, or reunion with friends, Xishu delivers every fantasy of a seaside escape. Already booked a return visit with the team next year—this one’s a keeper. Five stars, no question. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
