Guilin

Brought my son to see the mountains depicted in Chinese paintings. To experience fully, you need to go for the excursions along Li River, I did not get my wish as the river overflowed and they stopped bamboo rafting. Only managed to go for the bamboo rafting in YuLong River which was more exciting. There are some activities in Guilin such as duck feeding which was popular among the kids. There is also another excursion to visit the caves and include interacting with small animals such as parrots, rabbits and young ducklings (feed and touch). As per most China Club Meds, there are no direct flights from Singapore which is a huge pity. The school holiday period in Singapore is an excellent time to visit China as their holidays only start when ours end, occupancy rates would have increased tremendously in Club Med if the management could negotiate for direct flights to cater to young families from Singapore. Guilin was the biggest Club Med I have visited so far, having to take the buggy to move efficiently around the whole place. The overall experience was good, as I have been to multiple Club Meds in China, my son met up with a few GOs who could identify us from our previous trips. We were lucky that Adi was managing the restaurant when we were there (my son finally can find food that he caters to his liking in China.) Special mention to Dylan (Front Desk Manager) who came back during his off day to send us off on our last day in Guilin and even bought a small gift for my son. Being from Singapore, we felt more at ease speaking with the CDV Lim who was from Malaysia. So if you can endure the long transit from Singapore to Guilin, the place is an excellent choice for kids to see the mountains and rivers in Chinese paintings, improve on their chinese communication and on top of that, good food in the restaurants (provided Adi is still managing the restaurant).

Our family recently stayed at your resort (from 13th to 16th June) and we are still smiling about the extraordinary experience you created for us! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the stunning karst mountain landscapes and the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere you’ve cultivated. Every member of your team went above and beyond to ensure our holiday was perfect, and we’d love to share our appreciation.

Infectious energy, genuine warmth, and attentiveness of GOs made us feel like cherished guests. The great experience started from reception desk Mr. Dylan, Becky who greeted us with smiles and took time to connect. Their passion for creating joy was evident in every interaction.

Please share our gratitude with every team member – from housekeeping and kitchen staff to activity leaders and management. Your hard work and smiles make all the difference. We can’t wait to return!

The GOs are impeccable, they are the most valuable assets of Club Med Guilin. Credit to NaNa, the reception manager, her professionalism and friendliness made me feel like a home return.

Our 7 years old daughter love the mini-club activities. She managed to catch an ad-hoc show event organized by the mini-club team, what a wonderful show she had been with.

Club Med Guilin was such a gem for us. Came during the low season, so there were not too many people. We had all the facilities and activities available for us almost at whim. Although it was raining throughout our stay there, the activities were aplenty and we did not run out of things to do. Nonetheless, because of the rainy weather, we could not go on excursions due to the high tide at the river (we have been wanting to ride the bamboo raft at the Li River).

Housekeeping was provided twice a day, which makes up for the slightly aged living quarters. However, the rooms were decent and well kept.

Language can be tricky, but the staff did their best to accommodate. For Muslims, do note that halal option is not available. However we opted for non-meat/seafood options which were in abundance. GOs were extremely helpful - warm, friendly and more than happy to help with anything we needed from food requirements to daily activities. The staff even assisted to plan a birthday surprise for my wife - complimentary cake and room decorations - on her birthday. So shoutout to Lai, Appy, Peggy, Loic, Vance, Rachel and the rest of the GOs. You truly made us feel at home!

Bonus: On our last day, the manager Lim offered to pack food for our journey back home, which we felt was an extremely thoughtful gesture.
