Cinese Hotel Dongguan Shijie
Outdoor pool and hot tub at a budget rate
About this hotel
This property covers both the pool and the jacuzzi side of the axis at once, an unusual combination at this price point among Huizhou's budget-friendly hotels. The outdoor pool and hot tub sit alongside a bar and restaurant, giving the stay a resort feel despite the rate, and free breakfast keeps mornings simple. Yuanchonghuan Memorial Yuan sits about nine minutes away by taxi, adding a cultural landmark within easy reach for anyone splitting the day between the water and a walk. The airport runs a little over an hour out, making this a workable base for travelers who want both the pool and the tub without paying resort prices for either.

Our take
This suits budget-focused travelers who want both an outdoor pool and a hot tub rather than choosing between the two, plus a bar and restaurant to round out the evening. The pool itself is not the sprawling, resort-scale kind found at the pricier bayfront properties. Anyone wanting a genuine beach setting alongside the pool should look toward Le Meridien or Xunliao Bay instead.
- ✓Visit Yuanchonghuan Memorial Yuan in the cooler morning hours before returning for a pool afternoon.
- ✓Use the hot tub in the evening once the outdoor pool cools down after sunset.
- ✓Ask about bar hours during the stay, since evening service can vary by season.

Why guests love itGetting both the pool and the hot tub at this price was the main draw, and neither felt like an afterthought once I was there: the pool worked well through the warmer part of the day, and the hot tub took over once the evening cooled things down. The short ride to Yuanchonghuan Memorial Yuan gave the stay a cultural stop that a lot of the pure resort properties skip entirely. It is a budget hotel and reads like one, but the water amenities punch above the price.
