Hotels with Private Pools in Wanning

"The hotel more looks like a bed and breakfast than a 4 star hotel. The room we booked was really small, around 12 square meters. With a balcony outside to sit. However, the view does not worth sitting and many other neighbors are just checking you. The room itself was clean, but inside the community isn't very clean at all. Probably, the highest disappointment comes from the public swimming pool which is a really tiny swimming pool. Their swimming pool is around 2.5 meters to 2.5 meters. So if you're coming to have a nice swimming experience, don't even think about it in this hotel. We booked a room with breakfast included which was around 50 yuan more expensive than if we didn't want any breakfast. Let me be honest with you, their breakfast doesn't worth at all. There's no salad, no seasonal fruit, no bread, no coffee (broken coffee machine) and no desert. Forget all the things you can find in breakfast of normal 4 start hotel, It's just some dumplings, egg and simple corn which you can buy from any shop outside for less than 10 yuan all of them. Overall, the price doesn't fit the service you receive, specifically about the swimming pool and breakfast."

"The hotel's location is excellent, with a balcony offering sea views. The hotel's private beach is right downstairs, making it very convenient for taking photos and just relaxing without having to leave the premises – perfect for a vacation. Right across from the hotel entrance is a commercial street, so dining is also very convenient. Our butler, Mile, proactively added us on WeChat and helped arrange a travel photoshoot. They also pre-arranged transportation to Shenzhou Station for our departure, which was incredibly helpful."

"This is my second review after extending my stay at Le Méridien. Let me start by sharing my experience and research on Le Méridien's star attraction, the Horizon Restaurant. Before coming here, I saw many hotel food bloggers raving about Le Méridien's sea-view restaurant, calling it the top 1 among all coastal resorts in China. I didn't pay much attention then, thinking it might be a promotional stunt. However, after dining at Horizon Restaurant these past two days, I realized that beyond the stunning views, Le Méridien genuinely put a lot of thought into building this restaurant. I've explored China's coastline from Dandong City's Donggang City Dalu Island in Liaoning all the way down to Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. I've visited many islands and 99% of the famous coastal cities. This restaurant is built directly on the beach without any protective measures, primarily facing the ebb and flow of the tide. The restaurant's beach is located deeper inside Shimei Bay, where the tide changes slowly, by only about 1 meter. To provide guests with a safer and better viewing experience, the designers elevated the restaurant. At low tide, you can enjoy an elevated 'god's-eye view' of the sea, and at high tide, you can enjoy a sea-level view. There's a hidden gem to the left of the restaurant's beach: an estuary of a small inland river. You can experience paddleboarding through the river and surfing at the estuary (Figures 1 and 2). Next, let me talk about Le Méridien's ubiquitous homage to Hainan's local Li and Miao ethnic cultures. As you enter the lobby, you'll see lamp pavilions on both sides, three hollow metal spheres in the lobby, and ornaments above the beds in the guest rooms (Figures 3, 4, and 5), all showcasing Chinese symmetrical aesthetics. The rooms feature two washbasins, one on each side (Figures 6 and 7). I'm a brand enthusiast, and the bathroom fixtures in the rooms are from the top-tier brand Kohler. Even more impressively, the faucets and showerheads are from Kohler's high-end Mema black bronze collection (Figures 8, 9, and 10). Le Méridien is a classic 18-year-old hotel, and the overall facilities are very well-maintained. The sliding doors are the best proof of this (Figures 11 and 12). When I went to the gym, I was amazed to find that Le Méridien's gym is equipped with an entire row of Technogym KINESIS comprehensive training walls – a rare sight in China, even rarer than pandas (Figures 13 and 14). Another highlight of Le Méridien is its public areas. I spent the past two days learning and improving myself in the public areas, walking over 10,000 steps daily. I found that walking around Le Méridien is not tiring at all, and there's no need to worry about bumps or obstacles. All public areas are designed with gentle slopes and barrier-free access. From the observation deck, you get a panoramic view of Shimei Bay. This naturally formed semi-circular bay is absolutely perfect, with good waves and a beautiful beach. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks provides a deeply therapeutic and sophisticated experience. Behind it, there's a large area of 'Qingpi' forest, making it my overall Top 1 choice (second video). The third video offers a 'god's-eye view' of Shimei Bay from a drone, showing the vast Qingpi forest below. Le Méridien Hotel is embraced by this forest, located only about 1.9 kilometers from the Qingpi Forest Provincial Nature Reserve. You can see this pristine forest belt from the hotel's gardens, pathways, and even from the guest room windows. Shimei Bay's Qingpi forest is the largest coastal Qingpi forest in the world and the only one in China that grows right by the sea. This unique combination of 'tropical coast + pristine rainforest' can only be experienced at Le Méridien. There are only two types of Le Méridien: Wanning Le Méridien and other Le Méridiens. My only regret this time is that three days and two nights felt too short. I'll definitely be back in a few months to extend my stay at Le Méridien. Others post photos of scenery; I use mountains and seas to cultivate myself. It's truly wonderful to have encountered Le Méridien!"

"The B&B is very close to Shenzhou Station and not too far from the seaside. We went to the beach to pick up shells and crabs. Thank you to the handsome guy for picking us up and dropping us off at the station in advance. The room is fully equipped and has a large space and a small refrigerator. It is very clean and tidy. The boss lady is very helpful. The attitude is very good, and coconut chicken drinks are provided for free. The electric car is very convenient to get around the island. It is also very close to Wangfujing shopping. There is a wooden house behind the B&B and a large swimming pool behind the room. It is so comfortable to stay. It is worth recommending to go with my good sisters. Wanning Travel😃😃😃 will come again next time."

"This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! At night, when the lights come on, the whole building looks like a fairy tale castle ✨. The pool is crystal clear, with direct views of the sea 🌊. Breakfast was thoughtfully prepared, with fresh fruit and refreshing combinations. The room design is unique, with a futuristic feel that's not cold or sterile. The staff were very attentive, making for a really comfortable stay 😌. I'll definitely be back!"

"The Hill Villas in Wanning Shimei Bay were the most delightful surprise of our trip! It wasn't just a place to stay; it felt more like escaping into a tranquil corner of mountains and sea. Opening the window revealed lush greenery, and a short walk led straight to the sea breeze. It was so peaceful and healing, completely free from the city's hustle and bustle. The room quality was exceptional, with minimalist design and thoughtful touches everywhere. The bedding was incredibly soft, making it hard to get out of bed. And the cleanliness was impeccable, even in the corners – so comfortable and relaxing. Waking up naturally every day, feeling the sea breeze, and just chilling out – this is truly the best way to experience Wanning! The Hill Villas are a definite must-book!"

"I booked the room randomly, but after checking in, I found that the room was much bigger than I imagined, and many of the equipment were smart, which I was very satisfied with. The floor-to-ceiling windows face the mountain view, and when you open your eyes in the morning, you will see green everywhere. The water pressure in the shower is super strong, and taking a shower is very relaxing. The free electric scooter was so convenient. I rode it to Shimei Bay and Guanhai Pavilion. The scenery along the way was super beautiful. Guests staying in the hotel will be given small drinks as a gift, and the store manager's butler will also serve hand-brewed coffee, which tastes just as good as in a coffee shop. It's very comfortable to sit on a lounge chair by the pool and drink a drink in the breeze at night."

"The Alika hôtel is so serene, perfect for pure relaxation, and Sally had a very good taste for decoration. It blends so nicely with the natural vibe, every corner’s calm. Shoutout to Stephen, our guest assistant, who was insanely attentive and made our trip so smooth. Channy’s morning yoga class was so relaxing too – the best way to start the day in this peaceful setting! Breakfast was top quality, fresh and tasty, and the whole vibe’s just exactly what you need for a chill trip with friends. 10/10 recommend for anyone wanting a nature-focused, relaxing escape and plenty of activities."

"Very satisfied with a stay experience The landlord is from Chengdu and is very enthusiastic. The decoration style of the room is European style and very high-end. The hotel is located in a lakeside villa in Shimei Mountain Villa. The towels and bath towels in the room are disposable, clean and hygienic. The landlord also provided us with free electric car rental, which is particularly convenient for walking in Wanning. It was not convenient to take the car before leaving, and the landlord also sent us to the high-speed rail station. I am very satisfied. I will have to go to Wanning in the future to be Baima Manor hahahahaha"

"The B&B's location is absolutely fantastic, making it super convenient to get around, and all the dining, drinking, and entertainment options are very close by. The environment is clean and quiet, with the courtyard and common areas decorated in a warm and elegant way, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The room was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, toiletries were fully stocked, and the natural light and ventilation were excellent. They patiently answered all our questions, and the front desk staff even recommended delicious local specialties and sightseeing routes, which was incredibly helpful and saved us a lot of hassle. Overall, the value for money is outstanding, it felt as comfortable as being at home, a perfect experience! We'll definitely choose this place again next time we visit, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!"
