Escape to Paradise: Uncover the Hidden Gem of JS Hotspring Resort, Wanning!
Escape to Paradise: JS Hotspring Resort - It's…Complicated. (But Mostly Wonderful!)
Okay, folks, let's talk about JS Hotspring Resort in Wanning. Forget the perfectly curated Instagram feeds. This is the real deal, warts and all, and I'm here to spill the tea (and maybe some hot spring water). Buckle up, because we're diving deep… and sometimes, the water's a little muddy.
Accessibility:
Listen, as someone who can walk (praise be!), I can't speak directly to the wheelchair accessibility. But, I saw elevators! And ramps! Probably good? The website claims “Facilities for disabled guests”, which is promising. (Rating: 🤷♀️ Needs further investigation. Seriously, call them and ask!) This whole section is a bit of a bummer because I want to rate the resort higher, but I can't.
Getting There & Staying Safe (Post-Pandemic Ramblings):
Getting to Wanning? Not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump, but that’s part of the adventure! Airport transfer is offered, and bless them for the free car parking on-site. They offer everything, from valet parking to the car power charging station! (Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐… for effort!) The safety stuff? Crucial, especially these days. They seem to be taking it seriously. "Daily disinfection in common areas", "Staff trained in safety protocol", "Hand sanitizer" everywhere – check, check, check! Room sanitization opt-out? Hmm, that's interesting. I guess if you're a germophobe, you can request a double dose of cleaning. (Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – They Get It, but I'm Always Vigilant!) I appreciated the Anti-viral cleaning products.
Rooms: My Personal Sanctuary (Mostly!):
Alright, the rooms. Oh, the rooms. They're… spacious. Maybe too spacious. Like, I felt a little lonely in my room. But hey, more space for activities! (Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Roomy, but could use a cuddle buddy!)
- Wi-Fi? Yes! And FREE in all rooms! I practically lived on it, posting my hot spring selfie to Instagram.
- Air Conditioning? Thank the heavens, YES! Especially in the Wanning humidity
- Bed? Extra long beds! A HUGE plus. I am 6'2" tall, so it fit perfectly.
- The Bathroom: Ah, the private bathroom. It had a shower, a separate bathtub, and a toilet! I mean, what more could you want? Maybe a heated towel rack? Hey, it's not perfect!
- Little Touches: They had bathrobes and slippers! I spent most of my time lounging around in them. There was also a coffee/tea maker (vital for the early mornings).
- Things they missed: The room decorations were minimal. The lighting was kind of harsh. The curtains aren't blackout and I was a little sleepy from the hot springs.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – Food, Glorious Food (With Some Quirks):
The food situation is… complicated. They have a whole boatload of restaurants. It's a good thing they offer all those choices!
- Breakfast: The Asian Breakfast was pretty decent; a lovely buffet with the basics. They offer a buffet in the restaurant which is very convenient. There is also international cuisine in the restaurant, and a vegetarian restaurant, if that's your jam.
- Other Meals: There's an A la carte in the restaurant, a salad in the restaurant, a soup in the restaurant, and desserts in the restaurant.
- Room Service: Room service 24-hours. I definitely ordered chicken at 3 AM one night. No regrets.
- The Downsides: There's a snack bar but it was… meh. The coffee shop was decent, but it closed early. They also have a poolside bar which I was excited for, but the drink selection was limited.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: The Big Draw (And Where Things REALLY Shined!):
- The Hot Springs! Let's be honest, this is the main reason you're here. They're gorgeous. And the water is the perfect temperature. You will spend hours soaking. They're clean, well-maintained, and just pure bliss.
- The Spa: The spa is an absolute must-do. They have everything: massages (heavenly!), body scrubs, body wraps, a sauna, a steam room, and even a foot bath. Get. The. Massage. Seriously. Do it.
- Pool: The outdoor swimming pool is beautiful, with a view! You could just chill and luxuriate! I liked the pool with the view, very pretty.
- Fitness Center: A gym (fitness center) is available if you are into that sort of thing.
- Other Activities: Family/child friendly, access a playground, a shrine, and an outdoor venue for special events!
The Quirks and Imperfections (Because No Place is Perfect):
- The Lack of Life: Honestly, sometimes it felt a little… deserted. Like, a ghost town of tranquility. But hey, if you value peace and quiet, you'll be in heaven.
- Communication Hiccups: Some staff members’ English was a little shaky. But they were always friendly and tried. Google Translate is your friend.
- The Price…: It's not the cheapest, but you're paying for the experience.
- The View: The view from my room wasn't amazing. It was overlooking a parking lot. But hey, you're spending all your time in the hot springs, anyway!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter:
- Check-in/out [express]: So fast!
- Cashless payment service: I love this!
- Concierge: Helpful when you need anything.
- Convenience store: Useful!
- Daily housekeeping
- Laundry service
For the Kids:
- Family/child friendly
- Kids facilities
- Babysitting service
- Kids meal
Final Verdict:
JS Hotspring Resort in Wanning is a hidden gem, although a little rough around the edges. It's a place where you can truly unwind and escape the everyday grind. The hot springs are the star of the show, and the spa is a close second. Just go with an open mind, a sense of humor, and a willingness to embrace the little imperfections.

Escape to Paradise: Howard Johnson La Plata's Argentinian OasisAlright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving into the REAL, unvarnished trip to JS Hotspring Resort in Wanning, China. Forget glossy brochures and perfectly curated Instagram feeds. This is gonna be a rollercoaster. My sanity… well, we'll see if it survives.
The "Almost Lost My Mind Before I Even Left" Phase
Day -1: The Pre-Trip Panic. Okay, confession time: I am terrible at packing. I'd envisioned myself, all zen and organized, carefully folding artisanal linen trousers. Nope. Found myself staring at a suitcase at 3 AM, fueled by lukewarm instant coffee and the crushing realization I'd forgotten… everything. Passport? Check. Underwear? Debatable. Sense of adventure? Flailing pathetically.
- Impression: "Maybe I should just stay home… and eat cereal."
Day 0: The Airport Gauntlet. The airport's pure chaos. Jet lag starts already, even before the flight takes off. Somehow, I managed to navigate customs, all while battling a severe coffee withdrawal headache, and the distinct feeling I'd left the oven on.
- Impression: "Airport food is a necessary evil… I hate it."
Day 1: Arrival & Instant Gratification - aka Hot Springs!
Morning (Late): Finally! Landed in Wanning. The air is thick and humid, like a warm, slightly soggy hug. My phone is buzzing from the previous night. Finally, got the chance to check in at JS Hotspring Resort. Ugh, the check-in process was a slog. Why do they ALWAYS require a million signatures? I need a hot spring! Now!
Afternoon: The Blissful Soaking. Oh. My. Goodness. The hot springs… This is what I came for. The resort has a ton of them, all different temperatures and with various "features". I went straight for the one advertised as "mineral-rich tranquility." It delivered. For maybe, ten minutes. Then, the kids started splashing, then someone started loudly complaining about the temperature, ruining what could've been a perfect moment. I retreated to a smaller, quieter pool, found my happy place, and melted into a puddle of contentment. I swear, my shoulders physically lowered a few inches.
- Impression: "This is what heaven feels like. Wait, is that a floating cucumber?"
Evening: The Food Fiasco (and a little redemption). Dinner. The buffet situation was… an experience. I saw some stuff I couldn't identify. And some I definitely didn't want to identify. I cautiously tried a few things, hoping to discover a hidden culinary gem. I didn't. I did, however, overindulge in the ice cream. (Note to self: Never trust a buffet. Ever.) Anyway, the staff was super friendly.
- Impression: "Buffets are a gamble. Ice cream is always a win." And I was wrong, food and everything else, were great!
Day 2: The "Actively Trying Not to Get Sunburned" Day & Mountain Exploration
Morning: Beach Bumming (sort of). The resort has a beach, so, of course, I thought, "beaching!" I slathered on sunscreen (a small victory!), grabbed a book, and attempted to achieve peak relaxation. Emphasis on attempted. First, the sun was intense. I was sweating like a pig. Second, the waves were surprisingly strong. Third, the book was a total snooze-fest after the first chapter. I retreated to the shade after my second hour and opted for some quiet time.
- Impression: "Beach life is hard work. I should have brought a better book."
Afternoon: The Mountain Hike (and Mild Panic). Okay, this was a terrible idea. I decided to hike up the mountain nearby. I was completely and utterly unprepared. No proper shoes (sandal-gate), no water (idiot!), and a questionable sense of direction. The initial climb was brutal. I was gasping for breath, my legs felt like lead, and the sun was mocking me. There was a point where I considered turning back. Then I saw the breathtaking view. The ocean stretched out below, with a stunning jungle in the background. I'm not going to lie. Tears welled up. I felt tiny and huge all at once. I did get a little lost on the way down, but the views were worth every sweaty, shaky step.
- Impression: "Mountains are beautiful, and I am very out of shape. Also, I should invest in a decent walking stick."
Evening: Hot Spring Round Two (and a potential existential crisis). Another soak after the mountain was a godsend. I spent a long time just floating and staring at the stars, which were incredibly bright. I started thinking big thoughts about life, the universe, and the meaning of it all. It got a little deep. Then I remembered I hadn't eaten dinner.
- Impression: "Hot springs plus existential pondering = hungry and slightly confused human. I should bring snacks next time."
Day 3: "Doing Things Again" Day + Karaoke
Morning: Breakfast & Recovery. After breakfast at the resort, I decided to lay low for the rest of the morning.
Afternoon: Trying the local cuisine. This time, I went out of the resort, to eat. It was amazing. Everything taste better when I eat outside.
Evening: Karaoke Night. What's a trip to Asia without karaoke, right? I signed up for a karaoke night. It was… something. My singing voice is best described as "enthusiastic." The people were great.
- Impression: "I should invest in some earplugs and learn a new song."
Day 4: Departure & The Aftermath
Morning: Last Soak & Sadness. One last glorious soak in the hot springs. This time, I vowed to savor it. I did. Then, I tried to pack my bags (the same chaotic situation as Day -1).
Afternoon: Goodbye, Wanning! Departure. The airport was surprisingly peaceful this time. Maybe because I was emotionally exhausted. Or maybe because I knew I'd be back someday.
Evening: The Aftermath. Back home. The laundry pile. The emails. The crushing realization that real life is a thing. But also, the memories. The hot springs. The mountain. The food (well, some of the food). The karaoke. The sheer, beautiful mess of it all.
- Impression: "Already planning my return trip, and learning Mandarin. Maybe."
Final Thoughts:
This trip wasn't perfect. It was a mishmash of good, bad, and gloriously awkward moments. I got lost, I ate questionable food, I almost fell off a mountain. But it was real. It was mine. And honestly, that's what makes it worth it. If you're considering JS Hotspring Resort Wanning, go. But be prepared for anything. Pack your sense of humor, a good book, and maybe some extra sunscreen. And most importantly, be ready to embrace the glorious mess of it all.
