After staying for several days, I finally figured out the room types of Xiamen Haiyue Villa
Haiyue Villa covers a large area, with as many as 20 types of rooms. Although I had read many reports before going, I was still confused. However, after a three-day stay, I finally figured it out.
In simple terms, Haiyue Villa is divided into three parts: hotel, villa, and water garden. The hotel has the most rooms and the most complete facilities, including the Little Dolphin Indoor Park, the infinity pool, and the outdoor irregular pool surrounded by the main building. Structurally, it is very similar to some resort hotels in Sanya, such as Yalong Bay Hilton, but without a private beach. You can reach the seaside through the garden by the pool and an underground passage.
In addition, the hotel's Chinese restaurant, Western restaurant, executive lounge, and gym are all in the main building, which makes dining and entertainment more convenient.
The villa is like a huge botanical garden, which I have written about before. The water garden is mostly composed of two-story waterfront villas, which are somewhat similar to the feeling of Sanya's Cultural Orient, which I will write about later.
The hotel is quite friendly to Egret Club members. I booked a basic room on the first day, but because they recognized that I booked a delicate suite the next day, they also upgraded the first day's order to a delicate suite, which is equivalent to several upgrades. The delicate suite is said to be 76 square meters, also in the main building, distributed on floors 2-5. Because the rooms were tight that day, there were no high floors, so I stayed on the 2nd floor this time. Although the view was almost blocked by vegetation, I was still very grateful. If I were assigned to the 5th floor high-rise, I should be able to see the central pool view and part of the sea view.
The main building has poolside rooms that are a few steps away from the pool and a small number of pool rooms where you can jump directly into the pool from the balcony. These are all on the first floor. The basic room type, the villa deluxe room of 36 square meters, does not have a balcony. Starting from the 46 square meter deluxe mountain view room, all room types have a classic layout with a balcony. Sea view rooms, garden view rooms, etc. are different in orientation and floor height. Room types with the word 'villa' are rooms in the villa area, those with 'Tianyue Pavilion' include executive treatment, and those with 'pool villa' are water garden types, which are also more expensive.
Compared to the 46 square meter classic room type in the main building, this delicate suite has an irregularly shaped living room and cloakroom. The triangular living room also comes with a second balcony, but it is windowless, poorly lit and a bit oppressive. The living room is equipped with a desk and a small sofa, but it is extra space after all, and it is good to use it for luggage. The bedroom part is the same as the classic room type. Because the occupancy rate is very high, although it opened later than the villa, the interior feels more dated. The signature design is the viewing bathtub by the window, but this Kohler bathtub is small in size and more suitable for children to play in water.
The fruit plate they gave is not usually big, it's too much to finish, it's available every day, and the mini bar has 8 bottles of drinks and chips for free, with flower arrangements.
The bedroom is decorated in Tuscan style, and the color scheme is quite pleasing to the eye. The TV is newly replaced, the size is quite large but I didn't try if it can be cast, the bedding is comfortable, and there are no hygiene problems. There is no guest bathroom, the master bathroom only has a single sink, the shower system is not very easy to use, the spare parts are Australian app, and there is no smart toilet.
This suite, of course, is not as comfortable as the villa deluxe villa, choose according to your needs
