"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."
