Shantou Marriott Hotel

Pros: 1. the service is great! Yeli at the front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable. Introduced the area and shops for us. 2. the Cantonese restaurant is good. (Don’t order the lobster porridge, not worth the price) the rest were quite nice. The breakfast was amazing. Even better than four seasons in Guangzhou as Marriot has more freshly cooked options. Worth getting the buffet breakfast when booking rooms. 3. the sea view is very nice (if the weather is not foggy) 4. locations: is convenient but not too central. A shopping mall right next to it, but the shopping mall is very quiet and not a lot of shops opened. Cons: 1. The room is good but not splendid. It’s a new hotel, open in 2022, and you can see breakage here and there already. Perhaps the erosion from the sea breeze is that powerful? 2. location: it’s by the sea/harbour, a new development area, so if you want a quiet, relaxing hotel, happy to just eat at the hotel and no mood to explore, this will be suitable. If you want to visit other area, then taxi is your friend. And be mindful when it rains, it will be difficult to get a taxi. (The 4th picture is the lobster rice porridge-not recommended 😅)

everything ok, good service and good facilities, good city scenery.

There is nothing to complain for my stay in this hotel for 2 days. The staff are so efficient, friendly and helpful. They are trained to be very motivated to help hotel guests esp the staff at the lobby.
