Sheraton Zhanjiang Hotel
A beachfront pool and hot tub on Zhanjiang's shore
About this hotel
The beachfront setting carries this stay: Sheraton Zhanjiang Hotel sits directly on Haibin Avenue North with its own stretch of shore, a garden, and a terrace connecting the pool deck to the sea air. Mornings suit a swim in the outdoor pool before the humidity builds, while the hot tub on the same deck earns its keep once the sun drops and the evening cools. A fitness centre and table tennis cover downtime between meetings, and the kids' club and indoor play area give families their own routine alongside the pool. Come evening, the property's restaurants serve a wide spread, from Cantonese and local dishes to American and Japanese options, before guests head back through the garden to their rooms. Zhanjiang Wuchuan International Airport sits roughly an hour away by taxi, with a paid shuttle available for the transfer.
- Beachfront outdoor and indoor pools
- Hot tub on the pool deck
- Kids' club and indoor play area
- Multiple on-site restaurants
Our take
Sheraton Zhanjiang Hotel is my pick for a real beachfront stay in Zhanjiang: it sits on Haibin Avenue North with direct access to the shore, indoor and outdoor pools and a hot tub, so both an active swim and a slower soak are covered. Family rooms and a kids' club suit parents, and the Jinsha Bay promenade is nine minutes on foot. Anyone after a downtown nightlife scene should stay closer to the city center.
- ✓Ask for a sea-view room over a garden-facing one if the beachfront setting is the main reason you booked here.
- ✓Use the hot tub after dinner rather than before a swim, since it suits winding down more than warming up.
- ✓Walk the nine minutes to the Jinsha Bay seaside promenade at least once, rather than staying inside the hotel grounds the whole stay.
Why we love it
- A genuine beachfront address on Haibin Avenue North
- Both an outdoor and an indoor swimming pool
- A hot tub built into the same pool deck
- A kids' club paired with a proper fitness centre
Why guests love itA family staying here for a few nights would find the outdoor pool doing most of the work during the day, with the hot tub taking over once the kids are worn out from the indoor play area and the kids' club schedule. The beachfront garden gives younger children room to run without leaving the property, while the walk to the Jinsha Bay seaside promenade offers an easy change of scenery for an evening outing that does not require a taxi.
