See what other travelers say about Panda Paradise

The weather was absolutely perfect for our getaway, and choosing Novotel Suzhou Tai Lake Santeh for our family vacation turned out to be an excellent decision. The 599 yuan package included everything—meals, accommodation, and activities—and offered incredible value for money. The family hot pot was generously portioned, and the sour cabbage fish was fresh and flavorful—we couldn’t even finish it! It’s normal for the dining area to be busy during holidays, so no complaints there. A big thank you to Xiao Yuan at front desk for arranging such a spacious, clean room with great attention to detail. Her friendly and patient service made our stay even more enjoyable. We’re already planning to come back next Lunar New Year! 😄😄
