Huangjia Garden Binhai Hotel

It has been 6 years since I last came to Xiamen. The last time I came, I just went back after a quick visit to Gulangyu Island. I didn't have much impression. After a few years of "growth", I learned to slow down and feel and live. So this time I planned to stay at least one night in Gulangyu Island and take a walk around here. We actually booked a room in the Huangjia Garden Villa District, not the Binhai Store. The house in the villa district is a little above the Binhai Store, and you can also go up the slope of the Mayouhan Stadium. It is very close to the lively Longtou Road, Shuzhuang Garden and Sunlight Rock, but because it is not open to visitors except for guests staying in the hotel, it retains a quiet atmosphere. You can check in directly at the gatehouse at the entrance, and you can see the introduction at the door. These houses in the villa district are where the overseas Chinese entrepreneur Huang Yi lived when he returned to China and settled in Gulangyu Island in 1919. A total of three buildings were rebuilt the following year. Only the South Building and the North Building were open as guest rooms. We stayed in the room in the North Building. I must say that the service is very good. They contacted us one day in advance and added WeChat to inform us of the route after arriving on the island. When we checked in, a thin guy named Li helped us carry our luggage upstairs (there are many stairs on the island, especially in historical buildings like this, and it is impossible to install an elevator). He also introduced the surrounding attractions, places to watch sunrise and sunset, delicious restaurants and snacks, etc. The place for afternoon tea in the afternoon is in the north building, and the guy came to take us there in advance. The next day when we were about to check out, another fat guy named Li came upstairs to help us carry our luggage down. After we checked out, we originally wanted to call We planned to store our luggage first, then walk around the island and see the remaining attractions. As a result, we were too tired to walk back to the pier. I remembered that the guy mentioned that there was a paid luggage check-in service that could deliver the luggage to the pier. I asked the guy on WeChat and thought that they would help arrange a luggage handler. Unexpectedly, Fat Li delivered us to the pier himself, and helped carry the two suitcases all the way to the security check at the pier. Thank you very much and highly recommend it. I will choose this place again next time if I have the chance [smiley face][smiley face] ps: The breakfast and afternoon tea are both exquisite and delicious😋

The location is very good. It is very convenient to go out to the beach. The hotel garden is worth a photo. The housekeeper contacted me one day in advance and told me how to get to Gulangyu Island and how to buy Gulangyu Island tickets. When my family arrived at Neicuoao Wharf, there was a sightseeing bus that could take them directly to the hotel. The sea breeze was very cool along the coast, and the scenery on the road was also very good. After getting off the bus, the housekeeper came down to help us with our luggage, which was very considerate. On the way, he also explained some of the history of the hotel to us. He also upgraded my room type for free. The room is also very nice, with complete facilities. The cabinet air conditioner made me feel refreshed. It was really great. It didn't blow on my head like the ones outside, and it also added some space for things. The hygiene is also excellent, and it is very clean.

Huangjia Garden Hotel has a very good environment, and it deserves the title of "China's No. 1 Villa". The courtyard is very large, with four villas, namely the South Building, the Middle Building, the North Building and the Binhai Building. The Middle Building is not open. After checking relevant books, I learned that the cost of the Italian white marble laid when the Sugar King Huang Yi lived in the Middle Building was much higher than the cost of the South Building + North Building! Living in this large villa area with history and quality, plus the antique door keys, and the overall decoration style that does not destroy the historical buildings, you can savor the artistic conception! The bathroom and balcony, every morning, the sun shines in, it is quite warm, and looking out, there are ancient trees, green football fields, and masters who take care of the garden. All of this, when you look at it, your mood becomes great! There is a movable clothes drying rack on the balcony, and the washed clothes can also be dried in the warm sun, and they dry quickly! (Due to the protection of historical buildings) The room is equipped with a floor-standing dual-purpose air conditioner, which is also quite powerful. Because it is installed below the TV screen, the wind blows upwards, not directly on people, but quite comfortable! Breakfast is a set meal, nine-square grid (including Xiamen's special noodle soup, porridge, noodles, whole grains, side dishes, eggs, sausages, etc.), and there are 3 drinks (milk, coffee, soy milk) to choose from, which is not bad; Afternoon tea is also a set meal, with 3 fruits, 1 pot of hot tea, 3 Western cakes, several Chinese snacks, etc. Sitting in the big courtyard, just facing the football field, during the few days of stay, I caught up with the football match and the National Tourism City Orienteering Series (Xiamen Station), tasting tea and watching the game, it is a special interest! The housekeeper contacted us in advance at 10 am on the day of check-in to confirm the approximate check-in time and whether the boat tickets had been purchased, and told us that it was cold and windy at night and the thickness of the corresponding clothing. We arrived at the hotel at more than 03 am, and the housekeeper waited all the time and helped us carry 2 suitcases upstairs, and told us about the relevant precautions. It was very considerate! The service manager and staff of breakfast and afternoon tea were also very enthusiastic and thoughtful; and the manager of the front desk (a somewhat sturdy suit brother with glasses) was also great. After learning that our TV could not be watched, he came to check it in person, reported it to the telecommunications department, and assisted in finding various ports together, and finally solved our need to watch live TV (maybe many people don’t have this need now). According to our special needs, he helped to delay check-out to 14 o’clock and assisted in sending the luggage to the pier for our return trip. Give this manager a big thumbs up! ! ! (By the way, the hand-painted map given by the hotel is also very finely marked, which helps to quickly find everyone’s points of interest, and then play and taste local food in a targeted manner. It has played a great help in the past few days!)
