Grand Skylight International Hotel Huizhou
Outdoor pool and bar close to Municipal Square
About this hotel
The outdoor pool here runs alongside a bar rather than standing alone, giving the property a genuine social edge for evenings by the water rather than a swim-and-leave setup. Rooms lean streamlined rather than elaborate, and the free breakfast covers mornings before heading out. Municipal Square sits about eight minutes away by taxi, keeping this hotel closer to central Huizhou than most of the resort-style outdoor-pool properties further out toward the bay. The airport runs roughly an hour and a quarter out, and the fitness center rounds out a stay that stays practical without sacrificing the pool-and-bar combination that sets it apart from purely business-focused hotels. Guests split time between the pool deck in the afternoon and Municipal Square in the evening, a rhythm that suits a short city stay better than a full resort itinerary.

Our take
This suits travelers who want an outdoor pool and a bar close to the water without paying resort prices or traveling out to the coast. The proximity to Municipal Square adds a genuine downtown option that the bayfront resorts cannot offer. Anyone wanting beach access alongside the pool should look toward Xunliao Bay instead, since this property's outdoor pool is a city amenity rather than a coastal one.
- ✓Visit Municipal Square in the late afternoon before returning to the pool bar for the evening.
- ✓Book a room away from the pool area if a quieter night matters more than proximity to the bar.
- ✓Confirm gym hours ahead of an early morning workout, since fitness center access can be limited.

Why guests love itThe pool-and-bar pairing is what sold me on this one over a plainer business hotel: evenings by the water with a drink in hand rather than heading back up to a room. Municipal Square was close enough for an easy taxi ride out and back, and free breakfast meant mornings started without hunting for a cafe nearby. It is not a resort, and the pool is modest rather than sprawling, but for the price it delivers more social atmosphere than most of the other budget options in central Huizhou.
