GGuest UserGoing through a divorce 'cooling-off' period, I decided to take a solo trip to clear my head and booked this hotel – and it was truly excellent. Why was it so good? Let me explain a few points:
First, the location is superb. It's convenient for enjoying sea views and strolling along Shaweipo. It should also be close to Gulangyu, but unfortunately, my trip there was canceled due to Typhoon Bavi, which is a major regret from my journey.
Second, the hotel's decor is high-end and elegant, with excellent facilities. The aesthetic is sophisticated, and they even prepared a welcome ceremony as per my request.
Third, the service was impeccable. It was only after coming to the south that I realized how meticulous and thoughtful Southern hospitality can make you feel at home. I'm a stickler for details, and they really delivered. There were friendly staff members to help with luggage, assist with getting in and out of cars, and anything I needed was promptly provided. I developed tonsillitis after arriving and requested ice for a cold compress; when my friend visited, they needed disposable slippers; and when I couldn't figure out how to use the iron, housekeeping came to assist. Early check-in and late check-out, while generally offered by five-star hotels, also provided great convenience.
Fourth, the overall experience was fantastic, and the breakfast was plentiful. After a bath, the bed was incredibly comfortable for sleeping. For breakfast, they had Eggs Benedict, which filled me up completely.
I also want to praise the front desk ladies – each one was beautiful, gentle, and graceful. Just seeing them was a pleasure, haha (P.S. I'm a girl).
That's it, it was just too good, I'm at a loss for words.
While choosing photos, I remembered a few more things: the turndown service, the small desserts in the evening, and the room cleaning were all delightful touches.
