Finally staying here! Step outside and you're right by the pool

Parents with kids during summer break know the struggle – packing feels like moving house, and the itinerary is more exhausting than work... This time, we escaped to Enping Shanquan Bay and stayed in the "Poolside Water Access Room." My daughter slipped into the water from the balcony in her swimsuit before I could even stop her, while I lounged on the chair eating ice cream🍦. Now this is what a vacation should be💕 🌊 Must-try for water lovers: Poolside rooms with direct pool access: Free rentals of Instagrammable floats and paddleboards (you can even paddle to the hot spring area!). The bathtub🛁 in the room is filled with real hot spring water! 🧊 Cool water battles: Splash fights in the wave pool, water basketball, and obstacle courses – my daughter was thrilled the whole time, even competing with other kids😂. After three hours of screaming, their energy was drained, but then they recharged in the various hot springs♨️ and kept playing! 💃 Tons of summer parent-child activities: underwater-themed stage shows, character parades, lakeside concerts, water-splashing festivals, family carnivals, water challenges, and DIY workshops – two days packed with fun✌️ 🥢 Dinner at the hotel’s Fuyuan Restaurant serves Cantonese cuisine. The dishes aren’t just photogenic but also perfectly suit Cantonese tastes – fresh, sweet, and not too oily or salty. My daughter loved the Leek Chicken on a Wicker Tray and the Passion Fruit Spareribs😋 🍺🍢 Must-visit Riverside BBQ Bar: Live music with honey-glazed chicken legs, and my daughter happily munched on corn while swaying to the tunes! Evening river breezes made it all so relaxing💕 A 2-hour drive from Guangzhou for this all-in-one family resort? Absolutely worth it! 🏠 Shanquan Bay Hot Spring Hotel 📍 Location: Datian Town, Enping, Jiangmen
