Beach Hotels in Zhejiang, China

The room was very clean, and the environment was pleasant. The blackout curtains worked really well. The breakfast tasted good, and the lady serving breakfast was very nice. The hotel manager was also very helpful. I'll definitely choose this place again next time. It's also plum blossom season right now~

Huzhou Giraffe Manor Hotel is, without a doubt, a fantastic place for kids. It has two main highlights: 1. You can find various small animals everywhere and interact with them up close, which is really fun. 2. During breakfast, you can get close to the giraffes and even feed them while you eat. My child absolutely loved it! However, if you're visiting on a weekend, try to get to the restaurant before 8 AM for breakfast. Otherwise, all the seats near the giraffes will be taken, and people won't want to leave – and who can blame them, haha! Now for a few drawbacks, mainly concerning the room facilities: 1. We stayed in a wooden cabin, and there was a persistent odor in the bathroom. I'd suggest the hotel place some air fresheners in the bathrooms, as the smell wasn't pleasant. 2. When the air conditioning was first turned on, there was a musty smell. It would dissipate after a short while, but we had to open the door to air it out. The downside was that opening the door let in mosquitoes, which was a dilemma. 3. Speaking of mosquitoes, they can be quite a problem during the warmer months.

Had a fantastic vacation at the Sheraton! I was truly touched by the thoughtful service from our butler, Lucky. Knowing that both my son and I have March birthdays, she went the extra mile to decorate our room for the occasion and even arranged for the Western restaurant staff to custom-make a birthday cake for us. It added such a festive and warm touch to our entire holiday. A big thank you again to Lucky and the entire Sheraton hotel team!

This is an established 5-star hotel, uniquely situated to command half of the waterfront, offering excellent scenery and a low hotel density, ensuring peace and quiet. You can tell a lot of effort was put into its construction back in the day. The staff—from valet to front desk, concierge, and housekeeping—are all very polite and maintain a professional boundary, yet they are always there when you need them, making for a very comfortable stay. The hotel's main issue is its age; the plumbing and facilities are dated. A complete renovation would be needed to truly address it, but if they want to remain a premier resort destination for the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region in the long run, some upgrades are inevitable.

When you visit Mount Putuo, don't just focus on offering incense. Remember to set aside half a day for some photos. Pray beneath the Nanhai Guanyin statue, listen to the waves at Qianbu Beach, and let the red walls and yellow tiles frame your shots against the sea breeze. Whether you're in plain clothes or a monk's robe, you'll get great pictures. There's no need for elaborate poses; the curve of your fingers as you hold incense or the serene look in your eyes when you glance back, these are the most authentic expressions of Zen. This trip allows you to not only make wishes but also to capture a piece of yourself amidst the mountains and sea.

The room is simple and comfortable. They provided fruits, drinking water, nice-smelling shampoo, and diffusers, among other thoughtful touches. The third floor has laundry facilities and a scripture copying room, which is very considerate. Downstairs, the restaurant offers private dining options. The shuttle service from the ferry terminal was spacious and comfortable. All the butlers had clear roles and responded promptly! A big thumbs up! I'll definitely stay here again next time! 😘

This time, I traveled during the off-season and my room was upgraded to a sea-view room with a better view. The room was spacious and very clean. The twin room with one large and one small bed is also more friendly for families with two children. It was a very pleasant trip.

We love everything about Healray Collection. Our flight arrived late, and took a late ferry over to the Island. Luckily they had shuttle service from and to Ferry, which made it so much easier than calling a car service. When we arrived, they assisted us unloading the luggage. Our room got excellent view and could see the Guan Yin statue from our room. I'm OCD, so cleanliness is very important to me and I approved. We booked two nights, sadly we were only able to stay one night due to a Gale warning. The hotel had such a great customer service, when we were sightseeing, they gave us a call to inform us that they received a Gale warning and that the ferry will not operate the next day. They gave us an option to stay or refund us the one night if we wished to checkout to catch the ferry. They were very helpful and resourceful in that respect. The manager Zhou Min reached out to our online booking to verify our refund. We were very pleased and amazed with their extraordinary service. I personally would definitely refer and book with them again. I care about service and they have one of the best service I've had experienced.

1. The hotel's overall design is full of Zen, very quiet, and you feel refreshed as soon as you arrive. 2. Although it's an older establishment, the facilities and equipment are well-maintained and quite user-friendly. I especially liked that the guest room areas have blackout curtains, providing a good sense of privacy. 3. The hotel's one-stop butler service is very attentive, especially Butler Xiao Shi. From check-in and reception, to introducing the surrounding area, to thoughtfully asking if we needed any help, to actively resolving any issues – it all demonstrated the team's professionalism and attentiveness. A huge thumbs up! 4. The hotel's location is also quite good, making it very convenient to get anywhere. Highly recommended!

1. The hotel's location is super convenient, right next to Puji Temple. They offer breakfast and have their own restaurant, which is great if you don't feel like queuing up elsewhere; you can just eat at the hotel. 2. The hotel grounds are lovely, but it's a bit of a maze. I stayed one night and walked around for two days, and still didn't quite figure out the layout. 3. The room was quite small. With luggage, it was a tight squeeze for two people to move around. Our room came with one chair, so the other person had to sit on the bed. 4. A design flaw: the room door and window faced each other, both made of wood, with a central garden just outside the door. When it's windy on the island, there's a serious draft, essentially a strong cross-breeze. Even with curtains, the effect was minimal, and it could still get cold inside even with the AC on. 5. The Jiya Hall offers great services like scripture copying and incense making. 6. The best part is that the hotel finally offers pier transfers!
