"Finally, Shantou has a decent five-star hotel! 😂
When I visited in 2023, the best hotel was the Sheraton, but it was really old and made my overall experience in Shantou quite mediocre.
Honestly, it's because of a beautiful hotel like this that I feel inspired to visit. Hahaha... People with high hotel standards might choose a city specifically for a certain hotel. The Shantou Marriott gives me exactly that feeling.
Shantou has a lot of amazing food, but most of it is found in street-side stalls or local open-air restaurants, which are very down-to-earth. While authentic delicious food is everywhere, the dining environments can be a bit basic, to be honest, no offense intended. There's this incredible feeling of happiness when you return to the hotel lobby after sweating it out at a street stall or grabbing a snack in an alleyway. It truly feels like coming home, haha. I think people who prioritize accommodation might understand this feeling. This is hands down the best hotel in Shantou, hehe 😉
The hotel is in an excellent location in the new CBD, offering the best views! 👍 Unbeatable sea views, encompassing Shantou's most beautiful bay, the bridge, the pier, and some small islands. In my opinion, it offers the best scenery in Shantou, bar none. So, if you come to Shantou, you absolutely must stay at the Marriott; you won't regret it. Two nights are plenty. Although the executive lounge doesn't have a huge variety of food, what they do have is incredibly delicious. I ate two plates of mussels! The alcohol isn't top-shelf, but their special concoctions are addictive. The Gin & Tonic and 'Private Cuba' (I assume a specialty cocktail) were excellent 🥰 We spent two consecutive evenings there, enjoying drinks and the most beautiful night views of Shantou... It was truly relaxing!
Both the sea view and city view rooms offer fantastic scenery. So don't overthink it; even the standard rooms are perfectly fine if you're on a tighter budget 🤌 because the lobby bar also has stunning views. You can sit down, have a drink, and enjoy the scenery.
The hotel's service is absolutely outstanding. From the front desk to the lobby bar and even the security staff, they provide the best service quality in Shantou. I wholeheartedly give them a positive review for this! 👍 Honestly, the front desk staff was incredibly patient and even gave us a local food guide. For someone who's too lazy to plan, it felt incredibly thoughtful. It would be great if every hotel did this! 😋
I forgot to thank Carter from the front desk when I checked out 🤌. He was so patient and answered all my questions. He also shared a lot of authentic Shantou food recommendations with me. Big thumbs up to them for their hard work!
See you again this summer. #Shantou"
