Sancha Lake Scenic Area is about 40 kilometers away from Chengdu city, which is equivalent to 1 hour's driving distance. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is very beautiful, and it is a place for many Chengdu people to relax on weekends. In order to attract more tourists, many businesses have also given the Sancha Lake Scenic Area the title of "Chengdu Little Maldives", trying to create the atmosphere of a seaside resort. Opened in 2016, InterContinental Sancha Lake Long Island Paradise has few rivals here, and is the first choice for many tourists to stay here.
Sancha Lake covers an area of 121 square kilometers, with 113 isolated islands and more than 160 peninsulas, and a winding shoreline of 240 kilometers. The InterContinental Sancha Lake Long Island Paradise Hotel is built by the lake, with beautiful scenery, and also takes advantage of the trend to strengthen its "water" entertainment culture. Infinity pools work like treadmills, with the water pushing to make it difficult for swimmers to swim to the edge of the pool. The hotel's outdoor infinity pool reaches 3,300 square meters, which meets the needs of swimmers for refreshing swimming. The pool faces the valley on one side, and guests can enjoy the view of the scenic area from the "high ceiling". In addition to the swimming pool, there are also constant temperature water parks, hot spring pools and other entertainment facilities in the hotel, and the "water" entertainment is rich and colorful.
The hotel is positioned as a parent-child hotel, with a children's club. Residents can experience activities such as grinding soybean milk, DIY hand-painting, food classes, indoor rock climbing, and cycling around the lake with their children. In addition, the hotel also has a gym and KTV. Compared with the advanced facilities of KTV, the atmospheric environment, the gym is really lackluster, not only the type of fitness equipment is less, the environment is also very "improvised", and the degree of professionalism is low.
InterContinental Sancha Lake Long Island Paradise is located on two floors, the east and west floors, and the east building was only opened in July 2018, which is relatively new and the guest rooms are more minimalist. The east building of the hotel has a special parent-child room, decorated with many cartoon dolls, which is very easy to get the love of children. The advantage of the West Building is its proximity to the Sancha Lake area, where guests can enjoy unobstructed views of the lake or mountains. The distance between the east and west floors is about 500 meters, so it doesn't take much effort for guests to travel between them, but the hotel is still thoughtfully equipped with electric cars for guests to ride.
The hotel's three restaurants are Longxuan Chinese Restaurant and Moon Island Cafe in the West Building, and Xinghu Specialty Restaurant in the East Building. Longxuan Chinese Restaurant has average dishes, but the price is relatively high and the cost performance is not high. Moon Island Cafe has a transparent circular dome design, so that guests can enjoy a coffee during the day while overlooking the mountain view through the glass. The café also offers a buffet, which is acceptable. The Xinghu specialty restaurant in the east building is actually a Sichuan-style hot pot restaurant, because the spicy taste of the bottom of the pot is average, and the overall performance is relatively mediocre, but the cost performance is higher than that of Longxuan Chinese restaurant.
Although InterContinental Sancha Lake Long Island Paradise has been in operation for some time, it still has frequent mismanagement, especially in the newly built East Building. Guests staying at the hotel are advised to be mentally prepared in advance.
