Ocean Spring Grand Metropark Hotel — Hotel in Zhuhai

December 2010||Although a little far out and like some have said before 'in the middle of what seems to be nowhere'. Once you arrive, park up and check in you could be surrounded by a huge busy city or a quiet village and you really wouldn't know. The atmosphere in and out gives you a real feel of being in your own little world. Mainly we went for the outdoor spas and a relaxing weekend, the indoor pool is very busy - so ok for a quick dip before venturing outdoors in your robe and flip flops to bathe in: hot&cold springs, coffee, red wine, various teas, and other things more accustomed to being consumed orally. Day times are quite enjoyable, but I think we all felt that the evenings were absolutely idyllic, soft music, warm lighting and so peaceful just laying back enjoying the experience and hot pools. Staff very efficient, polite and knowledgeable with any query or directions. In both English and Chinese. Was a shame to leave but there is only so long you can lay around...

Paying individually I am not sure if it...

The OS hotel is a huge complex and two wings (Ocean Plaza and Spring Plaza) but the Ocean Plaza was closed for maintenance (though I didn't see any maintenance going on). Room was spacious and nicely appointed. I paid extra to upgrade to the ocean view but found not worth it as it was just an obstructed view. I reckon that if it was the Ocean Plaza then it would have been much better. FO service was good but F&B outlets a bit expensive accordingly to China standard. The hot spring was under maintenance so some pools were not open too. The night show was good but the theme park was a bit let down and most games not suitable...
