Throughout 2023, Marriott Group had very few package deals. This is mainly related to strategy; last year, Marriott focused on calendars rather than packages. This year, however, things are different; packages will also be a key focus for Marriott. I can responsibly say that among so many hotel groups during this spring promotion, Marriott offers the most package options, with the widest coverage, and the strongest deals.

The theme for Marriott’s spring promotion is 【New Beginnings, Fun Spring Outings】.
You can spend 6.6 yuan to purchase a voucher package valued at 120 yuan, which includes a 2000-100 yuan package voucher and an 800-20 yuan package voucher.

If it sells out, check back every morning at 10:00 for limited replenishments (but quantities will be very limited).
Next, here are the Marriott products I recommend this time.
All products are non-refundable, can be refunded if expired, and can be returned at any time. Supports Huabei lossless stocking.
1) 2 nights with breakfast in Zhujiajian, Shanghai City Westin Mountain View Room, for 1,588 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024. Additional fees during Qingming (April 4-5) are 300 yuan per night, and Labor Day (May 1-3) charges 600 yuan per night, weekends price unchanged.
Zhujiajian Westin is built near the beach, and you can step out and find the sand. It boasts a mountain-sea view, easily accessible to Putuo Mountain, Daqingshan National Park, and Shenjiamen Fishing Port. Hotels like this are rare across the entire Yangtze River Delta.
This package remains at the same price over the weekends, and the seaside in Zhujiajian can be quite enjoyable in April and May. This Westin is very close to the beach and sea. In the hotel’s lobby bar, you can see straight out to the beach and sea.
I have stayed at Zhujiajian Westin. The rooms are impressive; the basic room area is 55 square meters. This hotel was opened in 2014, and being a resort hotel of Westin, the quality is good. The bedding at Westin is Heavenly Bed, ensuring a comfortable sleep.
Purchase link: 19￥ CZ0001 4YzWWlyNopI￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5F7GLA2/
Be quick to book for the weekends in April and May; they will probably sell out very quickly. It’s normal that weekends from January to March at Zhujiajian do not increase prices since the weather is cold. However, it’s rare for April and May to have no price increase on weekends; the beach should be comfortable at that time.
2) 2 nights with breakfast at Sheraton Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou, for 988 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024. No weekend price increase for March; additional fees apply for Fridays in April add 300 yuan per night, Saturdays 500 yuan per night; Fridays in May add 500 yuan per night, Saturdays 600 yuan per night. Qingming (April 4-5) charges 400 yuan per night; Labor Day (May 1-4) charges 800 yuan per night.
Sheraton Qiandao Lake is the first internationally branded hotel opened in the central lake area of Qiandao Lake, ideally located for scenic views. The hotel offers a 270-degree lake view, making it a prime spot in the central lake area. The location boasts both lake views and commercial options, with abundant dining and travel convenience.
Take a look at the view from the lobby bar at the Sheraton Qiandao Lake. The lobby bar is still on a lower floor, while the rooms will have even better views.
This hotel is quite family-friendly, featuring an indoor heated swimming pool and a large indoor children’s playground (which has been renovated). It’s an excellent choice to take your kids to Qiandao Lake.
This package offers 2 nights for 988 yuan in a basic room, with room size being 48 square meters and options for king or twin beds. Please check the calendar; even during the low season of February and March, this hotel typically sells for 800+ yuan per night without breakfast.

By the way, if the weather is good, you can catch the sunset at Sheraton Qiandao Lake.
3) 2 nights with double breakfast at Delta Hotel Xi’an, for 749 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024. No weekend price increase; unavailable during Qingming (April 4-6) and Labor Day (May 1-5).
Although Delta is outside the Xi’an city wall, its location is still good. It’s only 200 meters from Longshouyuan Metro Station, making it very convenient. The basic room at Delta measures 35 square meters and features a bathtub, allowing for a more comfortable stay.
Purchase link: 68￥ MF6563 BvYcWlyKsgO￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5F7DylK/
During Double 11, Delta and Moxy in Xi’an were particularly popular. There has been a steady amount of deals for Xi’an, and with good location, a new hotel, and high value for money, I recommend everyone stock up on this.
4) 2 nights in a deluxe room at Sheraton Xiamen (without breakfast) + 2 cups of LavAzza coffee, for 999 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024. No price increase during Qingming and weekends; Labor Day (May 1-5) charges 300 yuan per night.
Sheraton Xiamen is located in the commercial, shopping, and trade center of Xiamen, intersecting with Metro Line 1 and Line 2. The location is quite good. However, the price of 999 for 2 nights is exceptionally cost-effective; the calendar shows prices over 700 yuan per night without breakfast.
The basic room at Sheraton Xiamen measures 36 square meters.
Purchase link: 28￥ HU9046 CTbWWlyLjeu￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5FvFJom/
This hotel is an excellent choice for those seeking high value for money on the main island of Xiamen.
5) 2 nights with breakfast + 800 HKD consumption limit at Hong Kong JW Marriott, for 3,988 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024; unavailable from March 25-27, April 7-9, and May 26-31. Additional fees apply: March 18-20, April 4-6, and May 1-5 cost 330 HKD per night.
Hong Kong JW Marriott is the first JW Marriott in the Asia-Pacific region and the first Marriott hotel in all of Asia. Among the “Golden Bell Trinity,” it is the oldest, celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. The hotel underwent a complete renovation in 2018, so you don’t have to worry about aging facilities.
The hotel is located above Pacific Place shopping center, which is known for its luxury brands and is considered one of the top ten luxury shopping centers in the world. Recently, Pacific Place has not been crowded, making for a great shopping experience.
The hotel’s location at Admiralty MTR Station serves as a transport hub for four lines, making it very convenient to reach various destinations. Whether you’re shopping from Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui or seeking out Michelin-starred restaurants nearby, getting around is all very easy!
JW Marriott’s rooms are elegantly designed with a soft color palette and tasteful furnishings. Notably, there’s a hallway leading to the room, providing enhanced privacy rather than facing the door right away. Every room has a 90-degree view, and the city view room utilizes the scenic advantage of its unique environment well.
This package includes an 800 HKD dining credit, which can be used at the one-star Michelin restaurant “Marriott Golden Hall.”
“Marriott Golden Hall” offers fine Chinese cuisine with a rich cultural ambiance and is open for three consecutive years with Michelin honors.

This is surely a great hotel in Hong Kong.
6) 1 night with breakfast + 600 HKD dining credit at Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong, for 1,988 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024; those who book before April 26 can upgrade for free to a harbour view room. Additional fees apply on March 28-30, April 4-8, and May 1-4: 550 HKD per night. There are very few blackout dates (see page for details).
Located by the waterfront in Wanchai, it’s clear from the hotel’s name “Renaissance Harbour View” that its ocean view is exceptional. The transportation here is also very convenient, with easy access to the MTR stations and the Star Ferry Pier nearby. Shopping districts like Admiralty, Causeway Bay, Central, and Tsim Sha Tsui are all within close range.
This price is naturally good; I randomly selected a mid-March weekday, and a Renaissance Harbour View without breakfast is already over 1,800 per night. Our current price of 1,988 includes double breakfast and a 600 HKD dining credit.
The dining credit can be used at Renaissance Café or at the western restaurant Mirage Bar & Restaurant.
It is recommended to complete the booking by April 26, as you can upgrade to a harbour view room. Among the 800 rooms in Renaissance Harbour View, 60% have sea views, and the views are completely unobstructed.
Purchase link: 67￥ HU0854 BC5xWlym1Zc￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5vMx9F0/
If you’re looking for a good hotel in Hong Kong that boasts premium harbour views, this is the one for you!
7) Exchangeable package for JW Marriott W in Xiamen, Chengdu, and Changsha: 2 nights with breakfast (splitable) + two welcome cocktails, for 2,488 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024; no price increase on weekends, details for Qingming and Labor Day can be found on the website.
This is the only exchangeable package in Marriott’s spring promotion, and I personally believe it would be most cost-effective to use at Chengdu W. Check the calendar; Chengdu W is currently priced at 1,588 yuan per night without breakfast. For Xiamen and Changsha W, it will depend on the specific dates; I checked, and very few dates had price disparities.
Let’s focus on Chengdu W.
Chengdu W Hotel is located on Jiaozi Avenue in the bustling financial city, with two metro lines nearby. I remember Chengdu W’s slogan is “Play Your Own Way,” and it fits quite well with the lively and trendy ambiance of W hotels. The vibrant nightlife of Chengdu pairs perfectly with a hotel known for its “night theme.”
Our staff has visited Chengdu W, and everyone was highly impressed.
The bar at Chengdu W is particularly lively and vibrant.
Of course, the W hotel in Chengdu also adapts to local customs. This hotel has a mahjong room, known as “Play House.”
Chengdu W’s standard room, called a Wonderful Room, has an area of 48 square meters. This hotel opened in 2020 and is currently in the peak usage period.
When considering weekends or busier travel dates, opting for Xiamen W or Changsha W may offer high value too. I’ve stayed at Xiamen W and have written about it; it truly feels like an adult playground.
Purchase link: 49￥ CZ0001 1IrsWlyeQWz￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5vMmNGP/
If you’re a fan of W hotels and plan to visit Chengdu, Xiamen, or Changsha, this package is worth stocking up on.
8) 2 nights with breakfast + one afternoon tea for two + two non-alcoholic cocktails at JW Marriott Haitang Bay, Sanya, for 2,999 yuan
Valid until June 30, 2024; not available during Qingming (April 3-6), Labor Day (April 28-May 4), and Dragon Boat Festival (June 7-10); no price increase on weekends. Book at least 5 days in advance to qualify for an upgrade to a deluxe pool room, subject to availability.
Among numerous hotels in Sanya, JW Marriott Haitang Bay is perhaps the least family-focused. It’s also one of the hotels at Haitang Bay with the second fewest rooms. The hotel is known for its quiet ambiance.
I’ve personally stayed there twice and really enjoyed it. The hotel offers a strong sense of exoticism, making you feel like you’re vacationing in Europe, perfect for couples and friends.
There are multiple outdoor pools available too. Some pools without tree coverage are fitted with sun shades so that guests swimming won’t be directly exposed to sunlight, showing great consideration from the hotel.
Additionally, the hotel is close to the beach.
The basic room at JW Marriott Haitang Bay has an area of 70 square meters, making it one of the larger basic rooms in Sanya hotels. I admire the JW Marriott bathrooms, with their red bathtubs, shutter doors, and great lighting, creating a very comfortable experience.
The standout feature of this package is that you can upgrade to a deluxe pool room based on availability if you book 5 days in advance. Keep in mind the months of March, April, and May represent the low season for Sanya, so occupancy rates are generally not too high, making upgrades less competitive. The pool rooms here are outstanding, with a private pool right outside the balcony, unlike most pool rooms in Sanya hotels that share a public pool.
Having a private pool is quite delightful, allowing for undisturbed photo-taking opportunities.
Purchase link: 57￥ CZ3452 wRjwWlypFeu￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5vobQ7l/
For non-family visitors to Sanya, this is a great option to stock up on.
9) 2 nights with breakfast + two adults and two children executive privileges (five meals a day) at Ritz-Carlton Huanhai Pavilion, Sanya, for 4,988 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024, details for additional charges and unavailability can be found on the website.
Huanhai Pavilion is the executive room type at Ritz-Carlton Sanya, just below the suite level, ensuring high floors and ocean views. I’ve stayed here and can show the sea view from the Huanhai Pavilion room, which is quite nice.
The room size is 65 square meters, as shown below.
The key feature of the Huanhai Pavilion is its executive privileges, which are reliable at the Ritz-Carlton Aolong Bay:
– Elegant buffet breakfast, 06:30-10:30 (you can also choose to have breakfast at the all-day dining restaurant, with a good ambiance).
– Semi-buffet light lunch, 12:00-14:00.
– Afternoon tea with sea view, 14:00-16:00.
– Exquisite buffet dinner with happy hour and cocktail time, 17:00-20:00.
– Happy Hour drinks and chocolates, 20:00-22:00.
All these meals are quite reliable; the semi-buffet light lunch is not to be underestimated. The midday offerings boast at least 20 different dishes to choose from, promising a fulfilling meal experience.
What’s more is that drinks during lunch fall under the happy hour offerings. You could hardly consider this merely as lunch, since it almost resembles a buffet in certain aspects! The dinner offerings at the lounge will be even richer and potentially cost around 200 per person if served outside.
Additionally, Ritz-Carlton Sanya is known for its exceptional service. The hotel boasts 446 rooms but employs 635 full-time staff (excluding contractors), achieving a staff-to-room ratio of 1.42:1, which certainly meets the standards of a luxurious hotel.
Purchase link: 29￥ CA6496 UBgTWlzxqPW￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5FDesbc/
I have personally chosen Ritz-Carlton for my most recent stays in Sanya. The executive treatment is very comforting.
10) 2 nights with breakfast + afternoon tea for two at Sheraton Haitang Bay, Sanya, for 1,599 yuan; 3 nights with breakfast + afternoon tea for two + one buffet dinner for 2 adults and 2 children, for 2,599 yuan
Valid until June 30, 2024; no price increase on weekends; additional fees apply during Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Labor Day (details can be found on the website).
The Sheraton Haitang Bay is situated between JW Marriott and Grand Hyatt, and among the many hotels in Haitang Bay, this one is relatively close to the beach. Another feature of this hotel is its family-friendly amenities; since JW Marriott is less family-oriented, kids will often play here (both hotels are operated by the same owner). The hotel has various kid-friendly activities, including a small animal park, crafting classes, and go-karting.
This package offers a garden view room; the room area is 50 square meters with a balcony and options for king or twin beds.
I personally recommend the 3-night package, as it includes afternoon tea and buffet meals for 2 adults and 2 children. You can see group buying prices for seaside buffet dinners for two are around 699 yuan. The main reason is that Sheraton Haitang Bay’s buffet dinner includes not just dining but also live music performances and shows from the French circus.
Purchase link: 58￥ MF6563 NrzjWly9S9H￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5Fvqb5p/
Sheraton Haitang Bay is a highly cost-effective option.
11) 1 night with breakfast + 100 yuan dining voucher at Shenzhou Jiasheng Marriott, for 888 yuan; 2 nights with breakfast + 2-person Golden Sands afternoon tea + 100 yuan dining voucher, for 1,699 yuan
Valid until May 31, 2024; no price increase on weekends; additional fees apply during Qingming and Labor Day (details can be found on the website).
Beachfront resort hotels have always been scarce in the Pearl River Delta. Shen Zhou Jiasheng Marriott faces the South China Sea in Shenzhen’s Jinsha Bay, featuring a 2-kilometer beach with easy access to the sand and seafront. The scenery here is beautiful, making it a good choice for vacation.
Jiasheng Marriott is particularly well-suited for family trips, having added more children’s activities in recent years, such as beach trains and indoor-outdoor family amusement areas.
Couples and groups of friends will also find this hotel a perfect retreat, as the pool area is particularly photogenic.
The hotel opened in 2017 and is currently in its prime operating phase. The basic room measures 42 square meters, with all rooms featuring large balconies, comfortably accommodating two adults and a child.
Purchase link: 38￥ HU9196 LOfhWlyLzZZ￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.5voaHvJ/
A strong recommendation to stock up on this, with no price increase for weekends. In April and May, the beachfront here won’t feel too chilly, making it perfect for families on beach outings.
