Xiamen Beach Hotels

《Ode to Lujiang Haishu · A Gift to Cathy at Hualuxe》 Embraced by the vast sea, on the western side of Gulangyu, Hualuxe's cloud-reaching towers touch the sky. Opening the window, I long to embrace a thousand sailing shadows, Lying on the pillow, I often hear the pearls of the waves. Guests feel at home, their hearts warmed by spring, My spirit is like water, a clear jade pot. The auspicious breeze brings tidings from the immortal mountains, With red sleeves, tea is shared amidst joyful laughter. Do not say the journey to the ends of the earth is far, For the scenery and sentiments here are what truly matter.

Staying at the Intercontinental Sea View again, it's still as warm and familiar as ever. The concierge at the entrance provided excellent service, making me feel delighted right from the start – a perfect first impression! Although the room's decor is a bit older, it's well-maintained, and we were upgraded to an executive floor, which was great. The toiletries are still Byredo, a scent I love. I'd like to specially commend Zhang Hongmin, the housekeeper, and Bingbing, the supervisor, for their swift response to guest requests and their meticulous service. Thank you!

Overall, the stay was good. The room was clean and tidy, the service was attentive, and the location was convenient for getting around. It offered decent value for money. It was also easy to get business receipts for my trip. Thumbs up!

The room is spacious with a beautiful view, right opposite Gulangyu Island. The hotel's buffet dinner features a wide variety of seafood, and in-house guests get a special discounted rate that is even cheaper than group-buying deals, though it's only available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The breakfast buffet also has a great selection. The hotel is less than a ten-minute walk from Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, making it very pleasant to go out for a stroll and local snacks in the evening.

1. The sea-view room offers expansive vistas—Gulangyu Island and Lujiang River are clearly visible, with stunning day and night scenery. 2. Prime location: Zhongshan Road is just a short walk away, offering abundant dining and shopping options, and convenient access to the city. 3. Close to Heping Pier—ideal for Lujiang night cruises or ferry rides to view Jinmen Island from the sea. 4. Comprehensive dining options: breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea are all available, with diverse choices. 5. Excellent service—the dedicated butler is attentive and thorough, and most guest requests during check-in and stay are promptly and thoughtfully accommodated.

The hotel’s location is absolutely perfect—just steps from Zhonghua City and Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street on one side, and the Lujiang Riverfront with stunning views of Gulangyu Island on the other. It offers a free underground parking garage, making it very convenient for guests driving their own cars. At check-in, we were pleasantly upgraded to a larger room—spacious, comfortable, and equipped with high-quality bedding. Every morning and evening, the hotel sells a variety of its own freshly prepared meals right at the entrance—delicious, satisfying, and very reasonably priced. Service was consistently friendly and attentive, housekeeping was thorough and spotless, and we even extended our stay by an extra day.

The room was clean and tidy. The front desk and concierge were very professional, and I was able to check in early. The hotel is very close to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, right opposite China City, and not far from the Gulangyu ferry terminal. The laundry room and gym facilities are well-equipped, offering great value for money.

On my third day in Xiamen, I chose to stay at the Portman Qixingwan Xihai Hotel🏨! The entire hotel complex is huge, with a strong French ambiance. The room decor is very new, exquisitely furnished and beautiful, clean and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay. The service is excellent, staff are friendly, and requests are handled quickly. It's very close to the beach, within walking distance, and it's especially pleasant to feel the sea breeze in the evening. Overall, it was a great holiday experience, and I'll choose this place again next time I visit Xiamen!

The room was clean and hygienic, staff were friendly and helpful, and the location is very convenient—taxis are easy to hail right outside, and there's a tasty restaurant downstairs (offering group-buy deals; à la carte dining is slightly pricier). In the evenings, you can take a pleasant stroll along Zhongshan Road. Sound insulation is standard—guests who are light sleepers may want to think twice, as the hotel sits directly on a busy street; however, quieter rooms facing inward are available, depending on availability at check-in. Note that the hotel doesn’t provide shower slippers, and both the bathroom and toilet doors are frosted semi-transparent—so guests with privacy concerns should consider this carefully. Overall, it’s a solid choice.

The hotel boasts an excellent location with expansive sea views, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the sea-view rooms offer breathtaking scenery. The rooms are clean and tidy, with comfortable bedding and complete bathroom facilities. The service is warm and attentive, with prompt front desk responses. Breakfast is rich and features local Fujian (Min-nan) specialties. The accompanying pool and gym facilities are comprehensive, offering great value for money. The surrounding area is quiet, and transportation is convenient, making it suitable for both leisure and business stays. Overall, the experience was satisfying and highly recommended.
