The location is fantastic as it is beside a big lake with a bird sanctuary and it's halfway between two great cities: Shanghai and Suzhou. Okay, the lady by the lake is showing her age, a bit, and could do with a facelift, some make-up, and so on, but she's still beautiful. There's a stable with horses, a green golf course, and they are building a high speed train bridge across the lake, which is fascinating to see. Small white cranes fly by frequently. There are no boats on the big lake. The walking trail, along the shore, is exceptional. Beautiful. 

Great Location. Could use a make-over

misleading information. this so called hotel which is basically a school is located approx halfway between Shanghai and Suzhou. It is a 1 hour journey using car or bus or taxi from Shanghai or Suzhou. Cost: 400 rmb in taxi. AVOID

not located in Suzhou

since the 2011 review some more to add.

"hotel" now has 1 building only open to guests. 6 accommodation buildings in total - 4 let out to anyone / teachers / cleaners / farmers / students. 1 derelict after been let out to students for 12 months in 2011 (and still not repaired yet). 1 let out to anyone booking a room with loads of teachers being housed in it as well.

Entire compound amenities require a pre-paid card to buy things from the below standard shop (never open at weekends) or the restaurants.

Despite being a "hotel", security will not allow taxis onto the premises.

Massive loads of construction going on all year round.

No proper reception (there is one but it is not staffed much).

Accommodation is extremely poor quality and the buildings are very dirty and smelly.

Zplashes Resort is a horrible little place in the middle of nowhere, with a school included.

avoid

The "resort" is open to school groups for summer camps, so it's possible you'll be in a building overrun with kids running up and down the halls.
We awoke in the mornings with bites. Could not confirm bedbugs, as the mattresses were red. The sheets and covers were clean. The towels provided were the size of hand towels. Western style toilets, but do not flush the TP. There was only one caterer on the entire compound, and because food was left out for extended periods, a member of our group got food poisoning. 
The man who works at the "convenience store" charges white people more than the woman who works there. Paid $6 for a melted, refrozen Mangum ice cream bar with him, and $2 with her.
There are air conditioning units in the rooms. And television. The "kitchen" in the unit consists of a sink and hot pot. Lights are out in the stairwells. Banisters are torn from the walls, with exposed nails. They cut the electricity to our building at least twice a day, because they thought we were using too much. The beautiful "boardwalk" featured in the picture above has been neglected, and has rotting and missing boards. Be careful. 
This resort is 5 km from the nearest town. You will not experience China staying here.

Sleep on box springs.

this place is supposed to be a hotel, but it actually is the base for an international high school that is called Sino-Canada High School.

So if you want to stay here:

pros: 

it is in a nice location, 48km from Shanghai
it is situated near a big lake
it is 2 km from a nice little place called Zhou Zhuang
it has many eating places in the hotel grounds; populated by students

cons:

the hotel is incapable; that is it the reception is not open inbetween business hours
the fact there is a school here means that a quiet vacation is not likely
the standard of accommodation is below par and in need of repair

 the hotel has sold out to the school, don't come here if you want a quiet holiday or break
