About this hotel
This is a beach hotel first and a hot tub hotel second, and the pairing works because the two amenities cover different parts of the day. Mornings start with an a la carte breakfast of local specialities and fresh pastries before a short walk to Huangcuo Sand Beach, close enough that the property lends out free beach mats and beachcombing tools rather than treating the sand as an afterthought. Rooms keep things simple: air conditioning, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, city views and free WiFi, without the spa-wing extras of the five-star hotels further along the coast. The hot tub becomes the evening routine once the beach day is done, and the hotel's 24-hour front desk and pick-up service smooth out arrivals for guests landing at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, 16 kilometres away.
- Hot tub

- Free beach mats
- 24-hour front desk
Our take
This suits travellers who want a beach-first stay with a hot tub rather than a full pool, and who are comfortable trading five-star polish for a genuinely walkable stretch of sand. It is less suited to anyone wanting a lap pool or spa treatments on-site, neither is part of the offering here. Couples booking a two-person trip score it especially well for the location.
- ✓Use the free beach mats and beachcombing tools rather than buying your own, they are included and save packing space.
- ✓Book the a la carte breakfast the night before if it is offered on request, it is the stronger option over the standard spread.
- ✓Confirm the pick-up service timing in advance if you are landing at Gaoqi Airport, it is 16 kilometres from the hotel.
Why we love it
- A hot tub after a full beach day

- Free beach mats and tools included
- A genuinely central, walkable stretch of sand
Why guests love itThe hot tub was never the plan, the beach was, and Huangcuo Sand Beach delivered exactly the few-minutes walk promised. What sold the stay was coming back from a full day in the sun to a hot tub rather than needing to find a spa somewhere else. The free beach mats and beachcombing tools meant not lugging our own gear from the airport. Rooms stayed simple, but the location did the heavy lifting for the whole trip.
