Hotel Dengan Spa di Guangdong, China

Wyndham肇庆 is perfect for families with kids! The rooms are spacious and clean, and the bedding is so comfortable. The play area is amazing and kept the kids entertained for hours. The staff are incredibly patient with children and always willing to help. The pool and restaurants are really convenient, and it's right next to a shopping area and attractions, making it ideal for a family vacation. It's a 10/10 experience! The lake-view room offers stunning views of the Seven Star Crags and the lake right from the window. Waking up to birdsong in the morning and watching the sunset in the evening is incredibly therapeutic. The room facilities are complete, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the service is meticulous and thoughtful. Sitting on the balcony, sipping tea and enjoying the view is an absolute dream. This is definitely the place to go for relaxation!

We checked in on Thursday and received a complimentary room upgrade. The hot springs pool on the first floor was incredibly comfortable and clean. The front desk attendant was very gentle and informative, explaining the hotel's facilities and environment. Two young men kindly helped us with our luggage and showed us to our room. The upgraded room was in Building 1, a bit far from the outdoor hot spring pools, so we opted to use the in-room hot spring. A packet of bath salts was provided, leaving our skin smooth after bathing. The first night's minibar was also complimentary, featuring two boxes of soy milk, Coke, and beer, plus a fruit platter. In the afternoon, we went out to take photos. The weather was lovely and sunny, and the flowers, plants, and trees were beautiful. The staff were diligently watering and cleaning, very hardworking. There's also a paid mini-train ride in the park. Our package included six archery shots, half an hour of mini-golf, as well as billiards and table tennis. Tennis, basketball, volleyball, and badminton courts are also available but require advance booking by phone. Our package also included a buffet dinner at the Brilliant Restaurant. Since the buffet wasn't available on Thursday, we were offered three options: a la carte at Brilliant Restaurant with an 800-yuan credit, a more standard 'order anything' menu with common home-style dishes, or a fixed set menu. I chose the a la carte option at the restaurant and ordered five dishes and a mango sago dessert. It was very filling, the food was excellent, and the service was perfect. We had black truffle conch slices, giant river prawns, casserole perilla mountain snails with free-range chicken, mango sago, and cumin pine nut baked lamb rice (which was incredibly delicious, though it took an hour to prepare. The crust was fragrant, and the lamb was excellent). The stir-fried fern shoots with dried shrimp was also very tasty, with a crisp yet tender texture similar to Chinese broccoli. Breakfast was also very rich, offering both Chinese and Western options, as well as steamed dim sum. All the staff were fantastic; they would introduce dishes and help clear plates quickly as soon as you approached the counter. There are also many children's facilities in the park, and it's a pet-friendly hotel with an outdoor pet park. The only downside is that there aren't enough signposts in the park. Even with a map, we still got lost frequently, haha.

Huge thanks to the front desk staff for patiently helping me switch rooms. I had some personal preferences for the room, and they did their best to accommodate them, even upgrading my room, which was wonderful. However, the bed was quite firm, and the duvet cover fabric felt a bit stiff and rough to the touch, not very smooth. I wonder if it's an issue from washing? As for the wet and dry sauna experience: I didn't dare go into the pool because there was no lifeguard present.

For our Chimelong family trip, following recommendations from several friends, we chose to stay at the Hengqin Bay Hotel, and our overall experience over a few days was indeed excellent. The hotel lobby is spacious and bright with a simple design, and the understated decor creates a relaxing arrival atmosphere. The check-in process was efficient. The room arrangements clearly showed thoughtful consideration for families with children. The amenities were comprehensive, and the children's specific items were a very nice touch. The mattresses and pillows were just right, providing a comfortable sleep environment for the whole family. The staff proactively offered a non-slip mat and adjusted the minibar's location to prevent young children from accidentally touching it – truly attentive to detail. The dining experience was good. The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection and consistent quality. The Fisherman's Wharf Tea Restaurant became our go-to for dinner; their dim sum was authentic, and the fresh shrimp wonton noodles are a must-try. The restaurant also catered well to children, providing dedicated utensils and high chairs. The leisure facilities are a major highlight of the hotel. Our child went to the Water World every day, and the indoor heated pool was also a great place to relax. Evening strolls in the hotel garden have become a family tradition, and the views of the flamingos and dolphin pool helped us forget our worries. The butler service was promptly responsive and even proactively helped us check operating hours. Overall, the hotel performed steadily across accommodation, dining, entertainment, and service support, making it a satisfying choice.

The welcome coffee offered by the hotel can be redeemed for a latte, Americano, or hot milk. The room style is quite new and unique, and there's a subway station downstairs, making it convenient for getting around. They even gave us a free room upgrade. The service was very thoughtful. Happy Hour (Cocktails): The cocktails were great. Exclusive Double [Coffee] Special Coffee Drink Voucher: The Americano was good. I would definitely book this place again next time.

The hygiene was excellent, and the service was very attentive. I usually bring disposable bedding when I travel, but I didn't need it this time – I checked and everything was spotless. The hotel has a lot of unique features. There's a lawn on the 11th-floor lobby and a forest in the 58th-floor restaurant. The breakfast was also fantastic, with a wide variety of international dishes. The baked goods were particularly outstanding.

Exceeded my expectations, I was a bit worried about the facilities being old when I booked after reading some reviews, but it was absolutely fine, actually great! The room wasn't super high, but didn't feel cramped, and the view was fantastic, directly facing the river without any obstructions. The hotel staff, from the front desk to the executive lounge to breakfast, were all excellent. The missing 0.5 stars are for the sachima. There were many purchasing agents staying at the hotel, but guests couldn't buy any, and hotel guests couldn't even pre-order. I mean, even if I can't buy a lot, shouldn't hotel guests, especially those in executive rooms, be able to pre-order one or two boxes to take home for family? It really felt a bit unreasonable. Everything else was great. I had dim sum at Yu Tang Chun Nuan, which was delicious, and I also tried the hotel's own breakfast, which was also very good.

My stay at Hilton this time was very satisfying. The room's decor created a sense of luxury, and the lighting and bedding were both comfortable and showed thoughtful attention to detail. The floor-to-ceiling windows brought the city closer to the room, allowing me to sunbathe while overlooking the streetscape during the day and enjoy the dazzling city lights at night. The guest relations manager was enthusiastic and attentive, doing their best to provide service that met my needs. The only downside was that the hotel has central heating, and the in-room air conditioning couldn't be controlled, so it always felt quite warm.

This was my first time staying at a Shangri-La hotel, and honestly, it wasn't as good as I'd imagined. The complimentary water in the room was Ice Dew, and there were only two bottles. That's incredibly stingy. For a five-star brand hotel, you'd expect at least Nongfu Spring or Wahaha. They're cutting costs to the point of no return. The last time I encountered Ice Dew in a five-star hotel was at the Gran Meliá Xi'an, about seven or eight years ago. I also tried the hotel's spa, and the price definitely didn't match the service. The woman at the front desk was also the masseuse, and frankly, her technique was very unprofessional. I ended the session early because of it. I would absolutely never choose it again. A good spa should add value and reputation to a hotel's brand. This one felt like it was outsourced. I'm guessing they charge too much for rent, and without making a profit, they just end up trying to fleece guests. I definitely won't choose it again.

Our last stop was the St. Regis, the tallest hotel in the world, and also the tallest in Shenzhen. Facing Hong Kong, it gave off a nostalgic vibe. The toilet wasn't electric, but an old-fashioned one that felt cold when you sat on it, and the hairdryer was also an old model. The room lighting was a nightmare to control 😤. However, for TV *******, you could even binge-watch in the bathroom! It's a shame that the 100th floor is now exclusively for Super Marriott VIPs (I guess I'll have to earn millions before I'm eligible 😅). Just looking at photos of the top floor's architectural beauty makes me regret why I booked three nights here. I really miss the previous two hotels (where I only stayed two nights). Thankfully, the floor-to-ceiling window offered beautiful day and night views. I called for the robot to deliver water, and it was so cute and polite! It could even control the elevator. We kept pressing the close button, thinking the old elevator was broken, but it turned out the robot needed to come in and remotely control the elevator to enter and select its floor. I guess I'm behind the times 😅. The hotel was packed with guests, pretty much at full capacity, as it's in the city center. KKMALL is right downstairs, so they only provided milk, tea, coffee, and water, with welcome fruit on the first day. For our last stop, of course, we had to check out the hotel's restaurants. We had a light meal at the cafe. Although it was expensive, we could enjoy both sunrise and sunset views, along with the intricate architectural aesthetics. We also tried the Italian restaurant on the 99th floor. The set meal was quite generous, so much so that we needed a night walk to help digest it. For our last night, we opted for the buffet dinner. The oysters were huge, both cooked and raw, and there was also hotpot. It was my first time cooking my own lobster and large crab claws, and also my first time trying caviar yogurt – absolutely delicious! The creamy, non-alcoholic cocktail was also fantastic. Guangzhou's expensive hotels just don't have this level of quality. Highly recommend! 👍
