An indoor pool and spa deck a short walk from Jinsha Park
About this hotel
The pool sits indoors, which matters in Shantou's humid stretches when an outdoor deck stops being appealing by mid-morning and the water there turns lukewarm rather than refreshing. Mornings favour a quiet lap swim before the spa-pool area gets busy with guests coming down after breakfast; afternoons shift toward the spa side, where the pairing of pool and wellness space is the point rather than an afterthought bolted onto a standard fitness room. Jinsha Park is close enough for an evening walk once the pool session ends, and the restaurant covers both Chinese and Japanese cuisine for guests who would rather eat in than head back out into the city after dark. Rooms keep the basics modern without overreaching into anything flashy, and the electric vehicle charging point is a small but genuinely useful convenience for drivers passing through the wider Chaoshan region.

Our take
This suits travellers who want an indoor pool paired with a proper spa setup rather than a bare rectangle of water, and who value being a short walk from a city park. It works less well for anyone chasing an outdoor, harbour-facing swim, since the pool here is entirely indoors by design. Couples and solo business travellers get the most out of the spa-pool combination.
- ✓Use the pool in the early morning before the spa side fills up with other guests.
- ✓Walk to Jinsha Park in the evening once the humidity drops, it's only seven minutes away.
- ✓Ask about the electric vehicle charging point at check-in if you're driving in from outside Shantou.

Why guests love itThe indoor pool turns into the after-dinner routine here rather than an afternoon one, since the spa-pool area stays calm once most guests have gone up to change for dinner. A late lap swim followed by ten minutes in the spa section beats fighting Shantou's daytime humidity outside. Jinsha Park makes for an easy walk once the pool session wraps up, and the Japanese menu downstairs is a welcome change from the usual hotel Chinese buffet.
