New Century Resort Jiulong Lake

Our family, including our two little boys aged 1 and 2, had a lovely break from Ningbo in the mountains at this hotels. The surrounding scenery is peaceful and beautiful and the outdoor pool is fantastic - very large, clean and good for kids. Our room was spacious (though it probably needed a deep clean a little more often - under the bed was a bit dusty!) Overall the hotel is a great place for a short break with young kids. Some areas could do with a facelift (i.e. the shop by reception is empty and has boxes sacked in it) but kids don’t mind this and what they do love is at the hotel - a pool, balance bike riding area, soft play center and an evening petting farm (which was very well done!)

New Century Resort Jiulong Lake exceeded all my expectations and provided a truly enjoyable stay. The staff was incredibly friendly, going out of their way to be helpful and offering valuable tips on things to do in the area. 包智慧 was especially kind and helpful! The room I stayed in had a beautiful view of the water, giving it a tropical vibe. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection of delicious options, and the resort was very family-friendly. While it was a shame that the outdoor pool was only open in July and August, the indoor pool and hot tub were still great. The resort's proximity to the Scenic Area allowed for a day of exploration, with hiking trails leading to waterfalls and a lovely temple. The resort was surrounded by lush trees, creating a serene atmosphere that I highly recommend. The option to rent bikes and participate in various activities added to the enjoyment of the stay. I particularly appreciated the pleasant bonfire evenings with music, which provided a nice touch without being too loud. Overall, I highly recommend New Century Resort Jiulong Lake as a place to relax and unwind. It's conveniently located just a 45-minute taxi ride from the Ningbo train station.

Hotel’s view quite good for relaxing, business trip, family’s trip, couple or solo trip is recommended. There has bike 🚴 for rent it’s quite good. Hotel staff and service is good also 明珠 as my housekeeper during i’m stay there. She is helpful and nice. Will visit there again someday! 😄

My girlfriend and I went with other friends to this resort becuase we really wanted to take a break out of town (Shanghai). We loved the view from our huge room, it was so much more than we expected! Food was good, from the buffet dinner, to the buffet breakfast that came free with the room. Though it was a weekend, the number of people who stayed in the resort wasn't overwhelming, that we can just chill at the hotel lobby until late evening. We got all our questions and concerns attended to by the excellent Mona, who helped our little group of foreigners a great deal. She welcomed us to contact her again for our next stay in the resport, which we'd be sure to do next time. *Posted for my friends who stayed in the other room I booked for our stay.

It was a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a getaway from the city . The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful . The breakfast at the western restaurant was really good .

Hotel is far from town, but well located. Good for family visit, indoor pool is nice, but outdoor pool only available during summer time. Not so many options for food, one chinese restaurant with good food, another one supposed to be "western", but not so western. Special thanks to Ms. Yu Jie S. she can speak English and helped us with all information we needed. 5 stars for her!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in a spacious family room. I was in town for a local half marathon so the location was convenient. My family loved using the indoor pool and we found the breakfast very enjoyable. Mona was helpful and attentive to our needs. We do have a few comments however. One is about the 'matresses' on the kids' bunkbeds; they were rather thin and uncomfortable. Another is about the buffet at the 'western' restaurant. We understand that we are not in a western country, but if you are going to call the restaurant that, especially when you have another restaurant in the same hotel that serves local cuisine, then you need to have more offerings than spaghetti with red sauce. The majority of the buffet was local style seafood, a local soup station, and a local duck station, which would all be fine as we actually ate at the local cuisine restaurant and were pleased, but not in a restaurant you are calling 'western'. These things would certainly not stop us from going back though. In fact, we look forward to our next visit when the outdoor pools are open and we can make use of the rentable BBQ area and other amenities in this beautiful setting by the lake.
