"It takes about ten minutes to get here from the train station. The hotel is located in Beihai Golden Beach, very close to the sea. The room I booked was spacious and well-laid out. It's very convenient for getting around the area. Dining at the hotel is also easy, with various food options available. The service was very warm and welcoming. The hotel environment is also excellent, a top choice for a relaxing vacation! 😂 All in all, highly recommended. I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance."

"Within walking distance of Silver Beach, making it very convenient to get around. The high-floor view is expansive, and the room is quite spacious, clean, and tidy, with complete amenities. The apartment-style layout feels cozy and comfortable. There are many dining options nearby, especially places to eat seafood. Free parking is a plus for those driving. The front desk service was enthusiastic; after checking in, they specifically escorted us to our room. We needed to get a temporary ID, and the front desk even helped us by providing information about the nearest police station and sending the location. When checking out early in the morning, the young lady at the desk even said, ”Please be careful on your travels,” which was very heartwarming. Overall, the experience was great, and it offers excellent value for money."

"Having stayed in numerous hotels both domestically and internationally, the Shangri-La Beihai stands out as the best experience we've ever had. Right behind the hotel is Golden Beach, perfect for stunning sunset views, and if the tide is right, you can even go clam digging. Our dedicated butler, Lily, provided excellent service throughout our stay, promptly assisting with both travel inquiries and daily needs. Last night, during afternoon tea, my husband, who has sensitive teeth, was kindly offered a bowl of very soft noodles specially prepared by Lily. The attention to detail in their service is truly impressive. This hotel is ideal for both short trips and relaxing getaways. I'll definitely recommend it to friends and look forward to coming back!"

"The room is close to the sea, and the landlord is very nice. He will be there at any time and will pick you up in person. The room environment is also very good, there is a super large balcony, it is very comfortable to drink with friends, I will stay here next time"

"This is a fantastic homestay! The staff are incredibly welcoming and always ready to help with any questions. The Rainforest Restaurant has a bar area where you can order new cocktails, and the evening ambiance is really nice. There's also a pool at the homestay, perfect for a swim in the summer. Booking includes pier pick-up and drop-off, and breakfast is also included with a self-service buffet. Overall, it's a great experience."

"As a huge hotel enthusiast who has stayed at numerous high-end hotels both domestically and internationally, this stay at Song Hotel was once again a pleasant surprise, exceeding my expectations. This surprise wasn't sudden; it accumulated little by little throughout the stay, transforming into a constant sense of awe and wonder. Initially, the hotel's color scheme seemed a bit odd, but I later learned it was the color of the sunset glow on the old buildings. This nostalgic and genuine warmth permeated every aspect of the hotel's service. Because the hotel was still in its soft opening phase, I was upgraded to a suite! I was overjoyed. 🛏️ Suite Experience Over 100 square meters. The suite included an indoor soaking tub and swimming pool. The color scheme was simple and elegant—a combination of off-white, light brown, and dark wood tones, instantly creating a relaxing atmosphere. The view from the window overlooked the Silver Beach! The room amenities were top-of-the-line, from bedding to toiletries, with attention to detail everywhere. 🍽️ Dining Stunning Completely unlike anything I'd expected from a third-tier city. The selection of breakfast items was simply unbelievable for a city like this. Makana Bakery, located in the bakery, offers locally inspired bread innovations—Guangxi Liubao Tea Croissant, Pandan Coconut Croissant, Lychee Sea Salt Croissant—bringing local flavors and French baking techniques together beautifully, rivaling boutique bakeries in first-tier cities. I tried the coffee shop, Chinese restaurant, and ice cream shop one by one, and each exceeded my expectations. The hotel dedicated significant space to local cultural exhibitions. As a keen citywalker, I was exhausted from exploring Beihai's old streets and various seaside areas, but surprisingly, the most insightful experience of the city came from the hotel's exhibition hall 🤣 The curation was excellent. The curatorial text and style were tasteful. It wasn't just a perfunctory display of folk customs, but a genuine exploration of the city's historical context and way of life—from maritime culture to the memories of the Tanka people, from the old street fabric to the evolution of contemporary Beihai. It was also a photogenic spot. Another feature of the hotel is the inclusion of a collection space showcasing several high-quality niche brands. From luxury lifestyle products to carefully selected souvenirs, everything was practical, stylish, and imbued with Beihai's essence. These brands offer excellent taste and value for money. Although I also visited other places and tried several hotels, I felt that this hotel was enough for my trip to Beihai. I could relax, enjoy the sea view, shop, and eat to my heart's content. Finally, let me talk about the service. It wasn't the professional hotel service I'd expected. Having stayed in top-tier hotels, I understand the natural and welcoming atmosphere of a butler. But perhaps because it had just opened, many people's eyes held a touch of naivety and unfamiliarity. They were cautious yet attentive, which was especially endearing. That simple, unfamiliar sincerity was touching. You could see their dedication. As a Ctrip Black Diamond member, I've stayed in countless great hotels. This is the first time I've written such a thoughtful review. Because this place is more than just a hotel; it allowed me to rediscover Beihai. It also solved the pain points of traveling in a third- or fourth-tier city regarding dining, service, and the aesthetics and practicality of souvenirs (and the value for money was excellent). This wasn't just a place to stay; it was a key to understanding Beihai and a haven for my short stay."

"Nanlu Yishu can be regarded as a benchmark high-end resort hotel on Weizhou Island. It is the biggest surprise of this island trip. The decoration, sea view and service all meet the high-end holiday standards. The whole stay experience is impeccable and must be fully praised. The hotel is close to the beach, within walking distance to the beach, and it is very quiet and private away from the crowd. The rooms are equipped with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, with a first-line unobstructed sea view, and you can watch the sunset of the sea while lying on the bed. The overall is an artistic atmosphere decoration, the style is light and luxurious, completely different from ordinary homestays; The room facilities are brand new and complete, the bathroom and soft decoration texture are online, and the living is particularly comfortable. The dining ceremony is full, the room's exclusive afternoon tea value is high, the ingredients are fresh and delicious, and the sea view is very good to take pictures; after the tiredness of playing, there are warm good night desserts to soothe the tiredness. The breakfast is rich in variety, with meat and vegetables, fruits and vegetables with balanced nutrition, and a full day. The service is comparable to the butler level, the free dock transfer on the island, the staff will call in advance to confirm the ship class; the boss is kind, take the initiative to help carry the luggage, and will explain the island's play route in detail. There is a timely response to needs and the service is just right. No matter how suitable it is for couples to vacation and girlfriends to travel, the comprehensive quality is standard for big-name resort hotels. The price is very high on Weizhou Island. There is no thunder point in the whole process. I will choose here next time I go to the island. I recommend friends who pursue high-quality vacations to book."

"This time, I traveled with my family all the way from Suzhou to Beihai. To be honest, Beihai was the core destination of our trip, and we planned to stay there for 3-4 nights. The Marriott was highly recommended and ranked as the number one resort hotel in the area. However, after staying there, I felt that despite its sea view location, many of the accompanying services were lacking. For instance, when we went to the restaurant, no one guided us to a table; we had to find one ourselves. Also, clearing dishes wasn't very prompt; in fact, on the second day, no one cleared them at all, even after we finished eating. Additionally, the fish tank was broken, and despite reporting it twice, it was never fixed by the time we checked out. Other than that, everything else was fine, and the hotel had a full schedule of activities for children every day. I just feel that for the amount of money I spent at this hotel, the overall service and amenities didn't meet my expectations. Some basic things weren't even done. So, for those who haven't been or are considering this as an option, my advice is: if you're not particularly bothered about a direct sea view, there's no need to book this kind of hotel. You can easily book a mid-range hotel like a Hanting or Atour about 2-3 kilometers away. I think they are more standardized, and you can even wash kids' clothes there. Most importantly, those hotels aren't too far from the beach; you can just rent a small electric scooter and ride over in no time, as Beihai isn't that big anyway."

"I'd never used the laundry room before, and this was my first time. It was a fantastic experience. It was small, available, and there was no waiting. The laundry supplies nearby were a nice touch, including a sewing kit, anti-stain sheets, lint trimmers, and shoe polish towels. The front desk, upon learning I wanted coffee, immediately offered me some drip coffee. Every gesture was thoughtful, and I felt very welcome staying here. The breakfast was also worth mentioning. There was a wide variety of delicious salads and cold dishes, including baguettes. There were four or five kinds of fruit, all very tasty. The coffee was always as good as I could ask for."
