A one-stop vacation where the whole family has so much fun they don’t want to leave

I had my eye on their Cosmic Starry Sky Family Room half a month in advance. The moment we opened the door, the kids screamed with delight—the ceiling was a galaxy of stars, the walls were covered with spaceship patterns, and the bunk beds kept the brothers happily climbing up and down. My partner and I exchanged a smile: this room was worth every penny! The best part? Zero need to stress over planning the itinerary! - In the morning, the aroma lured us to the buffet. Freshly made satay noodles, Southern Fujian spring rolls, and my parents’ favorite freshly ground soy milk—the variety was overwhelming. My dad kept saying, “This is even more lavish than our New Year’s feast at home,” and ended up patting his full belly, joking he couldn’t walk anymore lol. - After breakfast, we strolled out the side door to a vast lawn. My parents held their beloved grandkids and posed under the hot air balloon, saying, “Quick, take a photo 📸—let’s capture this moment!” The view of the expansive seaside from the lawn was breathtaking. - In the afternoon, we split up: I took the kids to the indoor water park and power kids’ zone, where the little energizer bunnies burned off steam, while my parents soaked in the hot springs. They returned raving, “The water temperature was perfect—way more relaxing than sightseeing!” - There were so many activities we could barely keep up! We’re already planning our next trip to explore more: the outdoor pool, sunset go-karts, pony rides… - Stunning sea sunrises are visible right from the entrance, and there’s plenty to explore nearby: the Tan Kah Kee Memorial Hall, Ten-Mile Long Embankment, Dragon Boat Pool, and don’t miss the seaside train at Jimei School Village Metro Station. Stuff yourselves at Shigu Road Food Street, and the Seaside Eco-Viewing Platform is perfect for a city walk. Xiamen North Bay Wyndham Grand Plaza Hotel. - In the evening, we reunited for high tea—so gorgeous we almost didn’t want to eat it. The kids licked macarons, my parents snapped photos of the sea view, and all was right with the world. Getting around is a breeze: 10 minutes to Gaoqi Airport, under 15 to Xiamen North Station, and 8 minutes to the highway exit. Self-driving? No worries—the hotel has charging stations and free parking. Don’t miss the Southern Fujian cultural experiences! Tan Kah Kee architecture, local snacks, and even traditional costumes to try. Summer brings guided tide-pooling and heritage house tours—so fun! On the second night, my eldest clung to the bunk bed, begging, “Mom, let’s take this room home!” My mom whispered, “We’re coming back—no rushing around, just pure relaxation.” The secret to a perfect family vacation? The grandparents aren’t exhausted, the kids are thrilled, and you get to sneak in some downtime too.
