AAnonymous UserI scoured countless guides before visiting Chimelong Ocean Kingdom and ultimately chose the Hengqin Bay Hotel. Turns out, it was a fantastic decision.
First, let's talk about the location. While it's a bit of a distance from the park, transportation is a non-issue. You can take a boat or a shuttle bus, both running very frequently. Waiting with kids wasn't a problem at all. The boat ride itself felt quite special, and my little one absolutely loved it.
Walking into the hotel lobby was a delightful surprise. NPCs (character mascots) immediately greeted us, shaking hands, high-fiving, and posing for photos. They were incredibly enthusiastic. My child is usually a bit shy, but even they couldn't stop giggling. If you're traveling with young children, this kind of atmosphere is truly welcoming.
Regarding the room, we were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a Flamingo View Room. We could see the flamingos in the park right from our window – a beautiful sea of pink that captivated my child for quite a while. The room itself was spacious; we could easily open two large suitcases and still have plenty of room to move around, never feeling cramped.
I have to specifically praise the hotel's butler service. After adding them on WeChat, any request I sent was met with an almost instant reply and always fulfilled. Whether it was asking for kids' slippers, extra water bottles, or shuttle times, everything was handled quickly, which made our stay much less stressful.
The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options. The desserts were both exquisite and delicious. I particularly recommend the freshly made egg pancakes – hot and fragrant. Both adults and children will find something to enjoy.
Now, about the water park – honestly, it felt a bit lackluster. The facilities weren't extensive or particularly new. However, since it's included with the stay and doesn't require an extra ticket, it's fine for a casual stroll and splashing around with the kids. Just don't go in with high expectations.
Overall, our experience at this hotel was very positive. Despite the mediocre water park, the convenient transportation, attentive service, and excellent family-friendly atmosphere mean I'd definitely consider staying here again for our next trip to Chimelong.
