Meliã Chongqing

We stayed at Melia Chongqing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The hotel is nestled in Tieshanping Forest, offering a serene environment. Opening the window reveals lush greenery and fresh air, making it perfect for a short getaway from the city during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The room was clean and tidy, and Corina Yuki provided attentive service. The facilities are comprehensive, with a water park and a mini-train available, ensuring both adults and children can find enjoyment. The biggest surprise was the immersive play, "Misty Forest"! The theater atmosphere was fantastic, with lighting and scenery perfectly matching the forest theme, creating a strong sense of immersion. The actors were lively and dedicated, and the plot was full of fantasy. It wasn't just a simple children's play; adults could also get lost in it. There were interactive segments during the performance, and my child watched intently, fully engrossed throughout, and was still talking about it afterward. As hotel guests, we could watch for free, and it was truly thoughtful to arrange such a performance for the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the day, we strolled around the hotel and enjoyed the lake views. In the evening, after watching the play, we experienced the tranquility of the forest under the moon. Overall, the experience was excellent – a top choice for a Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. We will definitely come again!

Everything else was great, and it's a wonderful place to bring kids. However, there is one thing I really have to complain about. I hadn't noticed the travel photography service initially, but when I saw it later, I called the front desk and asked the photographer to contact me directly to arrange a shoot. We set an appointment, but chatting with the photographer felt like talking to a robot—there was no communication about what I wanted. I sent over a few sample photos I had taken myself and said, 'Just shoot them like this.' We met at the scheduled time for the shoot, and that evening, my wife went through the photos to select them. I was busy working at my computer at the time and didn't look at them. My wife ended up picking 10 photos, and without thinking much about it, I just paid 480 RMB. But when I actually looked at the photos later, I was completely shocked. These photos are barely worth 50 or 60 RMB a piece! I've stayed at quite a few nice resort hotels and booked travel photography before, but I've never seen such terrible quality at this price point. Even a 15-RMB-per-photo street photographer I hired in Kunming took much better pictures than this. I really don't understand what the hotel's deal is with this photography partner. If they're just here to rip off guests, I strongly suggest the hotel switch to a different vendor, seriously. The only reason I cared so much is because I trusted the hotel's management and recommendation, but this completely exceeded my worst expectations. Nowadays, practically everyone is a photographer, and even a few casual snaps usually turn out decent. Yet, a young woman with a professional camera managed to produce the kind of results my parents get using their smartphones. I'm just speechless, and it makes me seriously question the hotel's management. I've attached some photos: the first two were taken by me in Sanya and Kunming, and the last three were taken at the hotel. I can't even help laughing when I look at them—she managed to make my wife, dressed in a leather jacket, look like a character straight out of a gritty 90s Northeast crime drama. And these were the ones *selected*; God only knows what the unselected ones looked like.

We stayed here briefly during the National Day holiday. The mountain environment is lovely, though the rain kept us from doing many outdoor activities. Still, it didn't impact our overall stay. Our butler, Corina Winnie, and Yoyo, who handled our check-in, were both incredibly patient and attentive. The play "Misty Forest" was also excellent; the kids absolutely loved it and felt really immersed.

Our family stayed at Meliá Chongqing during the National Day holiday, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel is nestled in Tieshanping Forest Park, built around a lake, offering a serene environment surrounded by lush greenery. The staff was warm and attentive, and the front desk agent, Lrving, handled our check-in efficiently. Our room was clean and comfortable, with soft bedding. The resort offers plenty of activities: a lakeside mini-train, kayaking, paddleboarding, and a water park. The kids' club is a lifesaver, allowing adults to relax and unwind. The food was delicious, and in our spare time, we even got to try a sound bath with singing bowls. Located just a 30-minute drive from the city center, it's an excellent destination for a family vacation. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem of a family-friendly resort in Tieshanping! The air in the mountains is fresh, and it's perfect for kids. The hotel offers a wide range of facilities, including a lakeside mini-train, water slides, and kayaks, plus exciting children's stage plays that the little ones absolutely loved. Yoyo at check-in was fantastic, thoughtfully asking about our child's needs. The hotel can provide bed rails and step stools. The room was clean and comfortable, with stunning outdoor views. It's a great place for adults to relax and kids to have fun, making it a top choice for family trips in Chongqing. We'll definitely be back!

This hotel is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The staff, especially Yuki, is warm and attentive. The hotel itself is incredibly beautiful and picturesque, making you feel completely at peace. I'll definitely be back!

Stayed at the hotel over the weekend. The hotel is located in Tieshanping, and the environment is simply amazing. Corina and Winner provided enthusiastic service. The hotel's gym and pool are fully equipped, and there are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained.

Great for kids, especially younger ones! My little one loved playing in the water and on the mini-train. The Chinese restaurant and breakfast buffet were both delicious. Overall, highly recommended!
