Le Meridien Huizhou
Bayfront pool and beach access in one stay
About this hotel
Direct beach access sitting alongside the outdoor pool is what separates this property from the rest of Huizhou's outdoor-pool hotels: the pool does not have to stand in for a beach the hotel lacks, since the beach is right there. Polished rooms and a spa round out the stay for anyone wanting more than a swim, and the bar and restaurant keep evenings covered without needing to leave the bayfront setting. Xiaojingwan sits about five minutes away by taxi, close enough for a morning walk along the coast before returning to the pool for the afternoon. The airport runs closer to an hour and three-quarters out, marking this as a destination stay rather than a quick layover option.

Our take
This suits travelers who want the pool and the beach together rather than choosing between them, and who value the spa and upmarket rooms as part of a genuine coastal break. The distance from the airport makes it a poor fit for a short business stopover. Couples and anyone building a trip around the bay rather than the city center get the most from this property specifically.
- ✓Walk the coast toward Xiaojingwan in the morning before the pool crowd picks up in the afternoon.
- ✓Book a spa slot ahead of arrival, since it tends to fill for weekend stays specifically.
- ✓Pay for breakfast in advance if bundling it saves against the paid daily rate.
Why we love it
- Direct beach access next to the pool

- Close to Xiaojingwan
- Bar and restaurant without leaving the property
Why guests love itHaving the beach right next to the outdoor pool changed the whole rhythm of the stay: mornings on the sand, afternoons in the pool, and never a choice between the two. The short ride to Xiaojingwan made the coastline easy to explore without committing a full day to it, and the spa turned one evening into something closer to a proper resort break than planned. It reads as a genuine coastal hotel rather than a city property with a pool bolted on.
