Le Meridien Shimei Bay Beach

The hotel is amazing! The beautiful green territory, nice view from the balcony on the mountains, an amazing sunset! The breakfast was varies and delicious. Staff was really helpful! The gym is well equipped! I like to staying here too much! The place I’d like to return definitely!

Stayed in a 2 bedroom pool Villa overlooking the sea. Beautiful hotel with well equipped facilities such as 24 hour gym, table tennis, surfing courses etc. private beach overlooking Jiajing island which is supposed to be great for snorkelling. Breakfast spread is good though restaurant gets quite crowded. An alternative is to pay extra to dine at the restaurant by the beach front. Staff service is excellent. The Korean restaurant dining experience was great.

This hotel comes highly recommended. Upon arrival, the staff were incredibly accommodating and even upgraded my stay to a villa, which was fantastic. The food at the Horizon Beach Bar was outstanding, and the staff were attentive, always anticipating my needs. The cuisine at the Western restaurant was also excellent. Overall, this hotel provided a wonderful experience.

Location on the beach is beautiful, peaceful and exclusive-feeling. Stayed in a room with a private pool with sun loungers. Room and facilities were clean, and staff were welcoming and friendly.||||Main downside is the restaurants. Food is overpriced and, aside from breakfast, the hotel just does not cater well to those with vegetarian requirements at all. On the first day we tried the Horizon beach bar and restaurant, however they had nothing for vegetarians. The menu states that if you have dietary requirements you can ask a member of staff, who can speak to the chef. I asked one and she just said I can order anything and they can take the meat out, however they literally only serve meat dishes, so that would leave just garnishes, so would not be worth it for the price at all. Of all the restaurants, only the Western restaurant by the lobby has a few vegetarian options on the menu, but the quality of these items is extremely poor and the ingredients are not fresh - cheap, store-bought sauces, frozen vegetables etc. Clearly a complete afterthought but you have to pay downtown Shanghai prices for it. For an international brand, owned by Marriot no less, they really need to do better.||||Other small details that let it down - there's hidden charges on the restaurant and bar menus - when the bill comes there are unmentioned tax and service fee charges on top of the listed prices. The hotel WiFi was not really working very well either.||||One silver lining is that we managed to get a round of free drinks on our second night at the beach bar. However this was only due to staff incompetence, as they had lost our bill. They covered it by saying it was gratitude as they were not able to cater to us for food the previous day. A good and appreciated cover, but this only came up after searching for our bill and realising it was either lost or never written down. Service to outside at the beach bar was generally slow too despite not being near capacity on either of the nights.||||Over all - if the hotel is going to advertise itself as luxury, charges a 5 star price and carries an international brand name, it really needs to do better on the details to make it worthwhile for the price.

We had a wonderful weekend at Le Meridien. Our room was beautiful and clean at all times. Restaurants were good and staff weee very helpful. A special shout out to Maya - she made us so welcome and made sure that we had a great stay - she is a credit to the hotel.We look forward to coming back

Overall I would rate Le Meridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa for 5-.||The hotel had some history. But after renovation in recent years, the room was new and had a very big flat TV. The room we stayed was apparently for family, but it was more like a normal room with two queen size beds, so the room was a little bit cramped for a family.||Both buffet breakfast and dinner were five star hotel standard. However it was a little bit chaos and I was not sure what waiters/waitresses were busy doing.||The reason I rated the hotel for 5- while not 4+ was that the resort organized different activities everyday to make guests' stay more happy and the front desk staff were keen to help. I would like to thank Stephen for his warm help during our stay.

The stuff overall are friendly specially Dale from the concierge, we had an upgrade and late check out. The room we had is good with private mini pool. The hotel itself was nice, the beach is large with nice sand only some beach chair need to be repair or change. We enjoyed the pool and the bar. Planning to comeback again when the weather is good.

We had two nights stay in a lagoon view room. We were told all the lagoon view rooms are on first floor which is quite wet - there is private swimming pool room on ground floor which I personal don't recommend because of privacy reason. The view is quite pleasant compared to the mountain view at this stage - hundreds buildings are being construction along the mountain. Bed is large and comfortable, bathroom facilities are 5 star quality, room is clean. We chose non-smoking room and it WAS no smoking smell which is quite good. (It's quite often in China that you chose a non-smoking room but still can smell the smoke.) The restaurants are nice especially the Breakers, yet the price is expensive compared to outside. There are six outdoor spa pools and two indoor spa pools in the SPA center. All are very much recommended! There were not many guests during the time we stayed, therefore the beach was quite quiet though wavy. Hotel staffs are friendly and efficiently. Will recommend to my friends.
