Sheraton Maoming Romantic Coast Resort A newly opened hot spring hotel, great to stay Terrace hot spring pool Public area hot springs & water park Including breakfast and dinner, fell in love after staying once, the most important thing is high cost performance ⭐Very beautiful hot spring hotel The hotel design is unique, and the five courtyards embrace the mountains and rivers. It is a scenic spot in itself, and the courtyard slope scenery and performances at night created using the terrain are amazing! ! ⭐Terrace hot spring pool The room is relatively large, the equipment and bedding are very new, the hot spring is a real hot spring, the hot spring pool is very large, it is on the balcony, there are performances on the terrace at night, you can watch the performance while soaking in the hot spring pool. A very satisfying stay experience The Royal Water Ancient Hot Spring is next door, including a bathhouse, towels, etc., there is a children's pool (with slides and other facilities) in the hot spring, which is quite friendly to parents and children; it is about a 20-minute drive to the Romantic Coast. (Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Maoming Station, and booked the hotel's pick-up service one day in advance (two trips a day, 13:00 and 16:00), and arrive at the hotel in about fifty minutes. ⭐Accommodation: There are not many hotel guests in the off-season, and they are directly checked in. The city view twin room can't see the sea, but the room is very large and there is a balcony, and the comfort level is OK. ⭐Facilities: The hotel has a sea-view hot spring, there are about ten kinds of hot spring pools to choose from, but because it is an outdoor hot spring, the maintenance is not enough, so there are a lot of fallen leaves in the pool e There is also a sea-view infinity pool, which has not been opened for use in March. ⭐Catering: I don't know if it's because of the off-season, the catering shops are basically not open, there are one or two small food or noodle shops by the sea. We chose to eat at the hotel's western restaurant for dinner. The infinity pool of Sheraton is by the window, and you can see the sea. The scenery is good. The chicken chop and salad are quite delicious, but the meat sauce pasta is a bit disappointing. In addition, the hotel restaurant charges a 10% service fee and a 6% tax. After calculation, the cost performance is really super low, but the environment and service are good. The breakfast included in the room rate is not bad, and it is open until one or three in the afternoon. Eat brunch and then take the hotel's shuttle (12:00 and 15:00) to the high-speed rail station. The plan is perfect ⭐Attractions: It takes three to five minutes to walk out of the hotel to the beach. Walking along the beach, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the vast blue sky and coastline, it's so beautiful! At the end is the Poetry Hall, but it is not open, you can only look outside and take pictures. The best place to watch the sunset is the beach in front of the hotel. You can see the sun slowly falling and sinking into the water~ In general, it is suitable for a weekend leisure trip for a small couple, two besties or a small family. It can be used as an alternative list for domestic travel!
