Scenic Hotels in Shantou

"This was my first stay at the Shantou Marriott Hotel, and overall, I was extremely satisfied. Below is a detailed breakdown for future guests. **Transportation:** From Shantou Station, a 15-minute taxi ride costing just 12 yuan got me to the Marriott. Super convenient! **The Room:** The floor-to-ceiling windows offered an unparalleled sea view. The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. Besides the standard four complimentary bottled waters, they thoughtfully provided a large bottle of Nongfu Spring water, perfect for guests who enjoy brewing Kung Fu tea. The shower amenities were large bottles of 'thisworks' products, which had a lovely scent. While the hairdryer wasn't a Dyson, it was powerful and dried hair quickly. A full set of toiletries, including a dental kit, was also provided. The king-size mattress was just the right firmness, ensuring even my elderly travel companions slept soundly. **Service:** The young lady who checked me in on June 16th at 2 PM was professional, efficient, and incredibly quick. She attentively asked if we had any special requests, and my request for a latex pillow was promptly fulfilled. **Dining:** Breakfast was rich and diverse, featuring freshly squeezed cucumber juice and other homemade beverages. You absolutely *must* try the croissants! There were also many local Chaoshan delicacies not to be missed, especially a bowl of the Pig's Offal and Meatball Kway Teow. In the Executive Lounge, Victoria Yang was exceptionally nice and approachable. Upon learning I was traveling with my 75-year-old parents, she enthusiastically recommended numerous restaurants and shared excellent local travel tips. Her genuine and passionate service left a truly wonderful impression of the Marriott. The buffet dinner is only available on weekends; on weekdays, you can easily take a taxi to explore the countless amazing culinary options Shantou has to offer – you simply can't try them all! **Facilities:** Marriott's brand amenities consistently impress. The swimming pool, though not huge, was clean and well-maintained. The changing rooms were very thoughtful, featuring two steam rooms and even a swimsuit dryer. Upon entering the room, the TV displayed a personalized welcome message, a nice VIP touch. **Hygiene:** Excellent. The room felt very new, with no unpleasant renovation odors, and the air conditioning was commendably quiet."

"I have to commend the amenities on the second floor – the self-service laundry and gym are an absolute godsend for travelers! The laundry machines were clean and efficient, leaving clothes fluffy and soft after drying – a huge plus for guests staying more than a couple of nights. While the adjacent gym isn't huge, it's well-equipped with essentials like treadmills and dumbbells, perfect for unwinding and de-stressing after a busy day. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to answer questions and quick to assist. Overall, it offers fantastic value for money. I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Shantou."

"The price of apartments during the Spring Festival is really high, which is a true reflection of the market economy. The apartment has two bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms. Although it is a little small, the structure is good and can accommodate four adults. It costs nearly 2,500 yuan a night, but there are only two breakfast coupons, which is speechless. It is not far from the city center, but you can't call Didi to go to the small park. There are no cars! The surrounding area seems a bit rural, and there are not many restaurants open. You can solve lunch but don't expect too much."

"After reading the reviews, I chose this hotel to stay in. The result was far better than expected! The hotel is very new, with complete facilities. It is within walking distance of the beach. There are many small shops and food around it. If you want to go to the small park, Vientiane City is not far away. You can scan an electric car to go there after leaving the hotel. It is very convenient. The hotel staff are very enthusiastic and the service is very thoughtful. Not only do they provide free travel guides, but they also help to upgrade the sea view room for free. You can see the vast blue sea, which is very beautiful. In short, if you come to Shantou, choose this hotel decisively!"

"I came to Chaoyang on a business trip this time and booked this hotel online in advance. The overall feeling was very good. There was a loving sign in the lobby, which was very nice. It was really helpful for me who was unfamiliar with the place. The laundry room on the seventh floor was also great. I often travel on business and have stayed in many hotels. The laundry room of this hotel was very clean and hygienic. When I went to do laundry, I found that the waiter was cleaning the washing machine. I will choose this hotel again next time I come on a business trip."

"I went to Shantou and found this great hotel! The hotel has its own parking lot, which is very convenient. It is clean and tidy, and the front desk service is good. I won't say more. The location is on the bay. You can see the sea when you open the curtains. We can soak in the bathtub in our room and watch the sea. The room is also very large. It is between the small park and Longyan Road, next to the Fort Park. It is about 2.5 kilometers to the small park and Longyan Road. It is very convenient to ride an electric bike. The biggest highlight of this hotel is: the breakfast is too delicious! ! I feel that this bowl of pork rice noodles and these snacks are completely unfamiliar with the ones in the store outside. They are so delicious! We originally wanted to eat something casually for breakfast and then go out to eat. We ate so much for breakfast that we couldn't eat until the evening. The only drawback is that the restaurant does not have coffee to drink) There is a machine that can make coffee, soy milk, and Hong Kong milk, and the coffee is instant coffee. It is recommended to update the coffee machine, at least to provide American coffee, or brewed coffee."

"After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to bring my parents here, and the hotel did not disappoint! We booked the family suite, which was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The package included delicious breakfast with a good variety of options, as well as unlimited snacks/ dessert of the day, throughout our stay—a really nice touch! What made our experience even better was their new service: a free 3-hour local tour of nearby attractions. Our guide, 小许 (Xiao Xu), was amazing—patient, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories about the sights. If you’re visiting 潮州for the first time and want a relaxing place to stay, I highly recommend this hotel!"

"The stay was great. This hotel has a projector that can be used to watch movies and project screens. The price is very cheap. The surrounding scenery is also good. There is a lot of food and it is cheap. Friends who came together are very satisfied"

"The hotel looks like a senior local public guesthouse. The interior is a little small, but the facilities are good. The location is good, close to the sea, but far from the city. We drove by ourselves, and it took half an hour to drive to the Mixc. Picture 3 is what we found when we entered the room. There was a big black footprint on the quilt. We immediately called the customer service to change it. The auntie was quite enthusiastic, but there was a big red lipstick mark on the quilt. I was stunned~ It’s the New Year, and the flow of people is large, but at least the hygiene must be guaranteed!"

"The hotel is in the ancient city, which is very big. You can't visit it all without staying in for 2 days. The hotel environment is very clean and tidy, the service is very thoughtful, and there will be a shuttle bus to pick you up nearby!"
