Resorts in Beijing

"Club Med Joyview Beijing Yanqing in-depth review | Divine Service, rooms a bit dated I specifically chose Club Med Beijing Yanqing for my birthday weekend, and the overall experience had its highlights and minor flaws. However, two staff members elevated my vacation happiness to a perfect score, and I absolutely have to give them special praise. The resort is massive, built into the mountains, and boasts incredibly comprehensive facilities. Golf, hot springs, indoor and outdoor sports venues, and a kids' club are all available. The all-inclusive model is hassle-free and relaxing, perfect for both couples and families with kids. The restaurant offers a rich variety of dishes, with extensive buffet options for breakfast and dinner, plus G.O. interactive shows in the evening, creating a great atmosphere. I especially want to commend Luca Han from Guest Relations and Yona Wang from Amazing Family—their service is truly top-tier! During check-in, they saw my ID and asked about my birthday. I honestly wasn't expecting anything, but Luca Han quietly made a note of it and proactively followed up, secretly arranging a room decoration for me. The moment I opened the door, I was genuinely touched: exquisite balloon decorations, a handwritten birthday card, and some small desserts. Every detail was meticulously thoughtful, clearly not a perfunctory, production-line setup. From guiding me through check-in and explaining the resort's activities to coordinating the entire birthday surprise, he was incredibly responsive to any request. He was gentle, professional, and had excellent judgment, accurately picking up on guests' subtle emotions and making sure the celebration was perfect. His attentiveness made the entire birthday trip extra memorable. If you visit this resort, you absolutely must connect with Luca Han; he'll upgrade your service experience directly. Yona Wang is also delightful, a vibrant and beautiful young woman who is incredibly versatile. She's even practicing flying trapeze. I missed her performance this time, but I hope to have more time to interact with this interesting and capable 'hexa-fighter' next time. Objectively, there were some drawbacks: the overall room facilities are a bit old. You can tell the hotel has been open for some years, and the bathroom fixtures and some appliances feel a bit common. However, the room was clean and tidy, and all basic functions worked properly. Compared to newer places, the hardware and decor definitely don't keep up with current aesthetics, and the soundproofing is mediocre; you can occasionally hear noise from the corridor. Fortunately, the room space is adequate, the bedding is soft, and it doesn't affect basic rest, but the hardware definitely has room for improvement. Overall, the good outweighs the bad. The resort offers abundant recreational activities, and the dining is excellent. The biggest plus, however, is the staff, exemplified by Luca Han, whose thoughtful and warm service completely compensated for the minor disappointment of the outdated room facilities. If you're not fixated on brand-new decor and prioritize a great vacation atmosphere and attentive service, especially for birthdays or anniversaries, ask Luca Han to arrange things for you. You'll definitely receive an incredibly surprising and exclusive ceremonial experience. It's already on my list for repeat stays around Beijing!"

"Very nice. Plenty of rooms available. We booked a two-bedroom family room, which was spacious and had two bathrooms. The living room had a small two-tiered refrigerator, which was fantastic; the upper tier seemed to be freezing (we didn't use it, but it was very cool), and the lower tier was refrigerating. There was a hot and cold water dispenser, but it was empty. We brought our own dispenser and water, so we didn't ask the staff for bottled water. Bottled water was available in the room. There was a mahjong machine. The shower water was excellent – ​​hot and easy to rinse. The shampoo and shower gel smelled wonderful and were great. Toothpaste and soap were provided, but you need to bring your own skincare products. The air conditioning was on at night, and the room temperature was comfortable. Because it's the off-season, the swimming pool and hot spring were not yet open, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard hadn't grown yet. It must be very beautiful in the summer. The family room had its own small courtyard with plants; it would be quite pleasant to sit at the door, smoke, and drink tea. There was a small bridge and stream in front (it wasn't filled with water yet) 😁. The food in the restaurant was delicious, including the main dishes. The chef was very skilled. Breakfast was quite plentiful for a guesthouse; we were stuffed. The steamed buns were delicious, although we missed the fried dough sticks, haha. There's a children's playground, ping-pong tables, and a karaoke room. Unfortunately, there was road construction and traffic on the way there, so we arrived too late and had to visit other attractions. We didn't have much time to enjoy the hotel facilities, so we'll have to come back another time. The staff, including the restaurant staff, were very welcoming and made us feel at home. Their parking lot is located in their own yard and across the river. The nearest attraction, Qingliang Valley, is just up the slope from the hotel entrance, though it's a 20-minute walk or a 3-5 minute drive. They have everything you need for basic amenities and snacks. Overall, this is a great choice."

"Beyond the hustle and bustle of the city lies a fairytale-like wonderland—Tianyu Villa. Stepping into Tianyu Villa is like stepping into a dreamlike wonderland. Each room here is unique, reminiscent of a fairytale home with its own distinct personalities. Some rooms are imbued with a retro charm, with intricate carvings and rustic hues, transporting one back in time. Others exude a refreshing pastoral atmosphere, with windows filled with breathtaking natural beauty. The villa's vegetable greenhouses are a vibrant green wonderland. A variety of fresh vegetables, tender and juicy, imbued with the fragrance of the earth, each one a verdant treasure gifted by nature. Speaking of animals, the peacocks are undoubtedly the star of the villa. With their long, iridescent tails, they proudly stroll across the lawn, occasionally unfurling their enormous, dazzling feathers like a grand fashion show. Their vibrant colors and graceful movements captivate every visitor, adding a touch of spirit and mystery to the entire villa. Lawn weddings are a highlight of Tianyu Villa. The soft, carpet-like lawn gleams charmingly in the sunlight. Surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, it resembles a natural flower wall and hedge. Here, couples make their lifelong vows, beginning a new chapter of happiness under the azure skies and the blessings of family and friends. A gentle breeze and swaying flowers create a scene as beautiful as a fairytale wedding, each detail imbued with romance and warmth. The restaurant's cuisine is a feast for the eyes, nose, and throat. From signature farmhouse stir-fries to exquisite feasts, every bite reveals the chef's meticulous attention to detail and the original flavors of the ingredients."

"We stayed here mainly to see the red leaves. We had to get up very early the next day. The room was nice, but it was a mountain house after all. I suggest the owner close the screens when opening the windows for ventilation. I was forced to catch insects as soon as I entered the room. I caught about seven or eight insects and released them. This was a really bad experience."

"What kind of bicycles do you need when you can book a private hot spring bath for more than 400 yuan during the May Day holiday? ? I was very lucky to check into the only available room at 12 noon on May 3rd. I started to hang out immediately after entering the room, haha, without any delay. We set off to the music festival in the afternoon. It only took ten minutes to take a taxi. I came back in the evening and took a dip again. The water was released quickly. There is hot spring water at any time. It’s not too refreshing. ✌🏻The room is very big and the scenery outside the window is beautiful."
