Fantastic for a short family stay
Pros:

The facilities for kids and family. Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

Fireworks until very late, disrupting sleep. The way the animals were treated, but the hotel manager says they are working to improve this. Beach a little dirty.

Choose another hotel
Cons:

During my 9 years living in China, this was the worst hotel experience I’ve had with my family. We chose this hotel because it was advertised as a 4-star property and had good reviews. We also heard that Huizhou was a nice place to visit, so we were looking forward to a pleasant stay.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. We arrived around 9:30 pm, and there were no restaurants open where we could have dinner, and only for a few Chinese options inside the large hotel. This was very inconvenient, especially when traveling with family.

The room itself was acceptable but far from what you would expect from a 4-star hotel. It felt very basic, lacking the small touches that make a stay special such as high-quality towels, a welcome fruit basket, or even simple treats like chocolates or cookies. Compared to hotels like InterContinental, Sheraton, Meliá, or Cordis, the difference in quality and attention to detail was very noticeable.

The service experience was also disappointing. At lunch, we were told our food would take 40 minutes, but it took 70 minutes, and one dish was missing. We then had to wait an additional 20 minutes for it to be prepared. Although, after complaining, we were told the meal would not be charged, this was not about the money—it was about the wasted time, poor organization, and overall frustrating experience.

I would like to mention that Mia at the front desk was kind and tried to help, even sharing her WeChat contact. However, one person alone cannot resolve the larger issues in service and management.

Overall, this stay did not meet expectations, and I would not recommend this hotel.

Très bien.
Pros:

Pour la première fois à Huizhou, l'environnement de cet hôtel est très agréable.Surtout dans le hall, il y a une atmosphère très agréable.J'ai beaucoup aimé venir ici en vacances avec ma famille.Le majordome à la réception a également ajouté WeChat pour rappeler l'utilisation des installations de l'hôtel, et les salutations intimes nous ont fait sentir très gentils.Enfin, au moment du départ, la gouvernante nous a envoyé un petit cadeau en souvenir.C'est un très bon hôtel.Ma famille et moi recommandons vivement

Dissatisfied and disappointed and not worth the money.
Pros:

Infinity pool, however there were no poolservice or proper bar. During high season, the pool facilities are to small for so many guest. The beds were not clean.

Cons:

The Service is really poor, not friendly at all. Being in the Hospitality Business and not speaking english is not okay. Besides there is a language barrier, the staff all are rude and not willing to help. Never has this kind of experienxe before. As it is not just one or two employee’s are having this attitude but the majority. Also the hotel is strongly outdated and the pictures on Booking.com arent representative at all.

Did not stay as hotel was closed!
Pros:

Hotel advertised as being in Shuangyue Bay by the ocean. Images show this. Hotel was closed when we arrived, and locals advised it had been closed for over two years on arrival at 10pm at night after 3 hours drive.
Location has since been updated to Huizhou city one hour away but still shows photos of beach hotel and facilities. Disgusting this is still adverstised on booking.com

Cons:

Hotel wasn’t open!
