5-Star Hotels in Hainan, China

A Memorable Family Stay at Atlantis Sanya During the long Korean Chuseok holiday in early October 2025, my family and I took a short trip to Sanya for some rest and fun. We stayed at Atlantis Sanya, and from the moment we checked in, it already felt like the right choice. The room was big enough for our family of four and so comfortable that we felt at home right away. Everything, including the bathroom and the amenities, was modern and spotless. Most of our time was spent enjoying the water park, which quickly became our kids’ favorite place. We laughed, played, and probably spent more time there than we planned. Breakfast was another highlight — every morning offered something new, fresh, and delicious. Those small changes each day made every meal feel special, and the cheerful atmosphere helped us start each day in a good mood. The most unforgettable moment came when my daughter lost her phone in a taxi. We were quite worried, but the duty manager and our butler, Farhana, stepped in immediately. They contacted the driver, explained the situation, and somehow managed to get the phone back to the hotel. I was honestly amazed — I never thought we’d see it again, especially in another country. Their kindness and determination left a deep impression on all of us. Thanks to the thoughtful staff — especially Farhana, who took care of our family as if we were old friends — our stay at Atlantis became something truly special. It was a trip filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable moments. If we ever visit Sanya again, there’s no question — we’ll be staying at Atlantis once more.

Absolutely Unforgettable Experience at MGM Sanya! Shoutout to Jelly from Guest Relations! Location: The hotel boasts a prime spot in Sanya Bay, with a private stretch of soft, white-sand beach. Just cross the street, and you're at the ocean—the sunsets are breathtaking! Facilities: Infinity pool + kids' water park + VR game zone—there's so much fun for both adults and children, you won't even want to step outside! Ambiance: Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, the resort vibe is totally on point. The live music at the lobby bar creates such a chill atmosphere, and every corner is Instagram-worthy! Cleanliness: The room was spotless, complete with disinfection seals on the bathtub. Even the towels on the beach chairs were folded into swan shapes—attention to detail that truly delights! Service: A special thanks to Jelly—she was incredibly responsive and made sure all our needs were met effortlessly.

The Lake View Suite offered a great view of Longtan Lake. Although a shuttle service was required for getting to and from the suite, it was always prompt and very convenient. Gina from Guest Services was exceptionally thoughtful; she arranged welcome fruit upon check-in, and our kids loved the room's setup and the cake Gina arranged for them. The room itself was very spacious and comfortable, and it was also kept quite clean. Overall, a great experience.

Staying at the Four Seasons was such a beautiful experience 🌿✨ The whole place felt luxurious and welcoming, but what truly made it unforgettable was the bathtub on the balcony 🛁💫 Nothing beats soaking under the open sky with a peaceful view—it felt like my own little slice of paradise. Everything from the service to the atmosphere was top-tier, but that balcony bathtub is what I’ll be dreaming about until my next visit 💕

We spent our 10-day vacation at The Westin on Hainan Island. A very nice hotel with a great hotel complex. The hotel is beautifully located. The ocean and its great beach are just a few minutes' walk away, or you can also take the shuttle. The room was very spacious, very tidy, and clean. The breakfast was very good. The staff were all very friendly. Damon introduced himself to us upon arrival at the hotel. I was able to contact Damon at any time; no matter what questions or concerns I had, he took care of everything. Many thanks again to Damon. We had a wonderfully relaxing vacation at The Westin. Thank you very much.

Third time here and we had a fantastic family holiday again! Location, beach, swimming pools and gardens are gorgeous and really well kept. We love the different pool options and the room with direct pool access is so convenient with kids. I agree with other reviews that rooms could use renovation, especially if they used to be smoking rooms, but daily cleaning is impeccable. The open air breakfast spot is lovely and breakfast choice is excellent, Chinese restaurant is also very good and provided such nice support to celebrate kid’s birthday. Derrick Liu was so helpful to address any concerns, everyone on staff is super friendly and goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Can wholeheartedly recommend!

This is our second stay at Yintai Hotel. We had such a great experience last year! This time, we brought our child, and the front desk kindly upgraded us to a sea-view family room. Our little one was absolutely thrilled and declared they want to stay here again next time! On our last day, they even called to offer a complimentary late check-out and sent up a fruit platter. Our room was spotlessly clean every day. Both the front desk staff and the service personnel were incredibly warm and helpful, providing truly attentive service. Despite the typhoon, which meant many other hotel pools weren't open, Yintai's pools were available for swimming. They have three pools, complete with swim rings and paddleboards, keeping us entertained until late every evening. The surrounding area is great too, with easy access to dining options and just a short ride to the beach. We truly love this hotel and plan to stay here again next year. Hopefully, we'll get another room upgrade – our child was especially happy to have their own bed!

We recently stayed with our family at Tianyu Family Hotel, Zone 2. Our room was thoughtfully designed, and the in-room washer and dryer were incredibly practical. The bedding was also very comfortable. The hotel's service was outstanding! They not only provided children's toiletries but also thoughtful touches like kids' bathrobes and slippers. All the staff were incredibly friendly, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel right at home. A special shout-out to Lily, whose service was particularly attentive and warm; she greeted us every day. Breakfast was also excellent and plentiful, featuring a wide selection of kid-friendly foods, along with dedicated children's tables and cutlery. Every detail was clearly well-thought-out.

Don't book any room other than a sea-view room at Holiday Inn. Only the sea-view rooms offer a view of the ocean from the bed. Even the 8th-floor sea-view rooms are problematic because their balconies are enclosed. All other rooms face the mountains or a lake, and you'll see a dilapidated, abandoned hotel, plus they reek of mildew. It really dampened our spirits during the stay. On the day we checked in, the door to our rainforest room was broken and took ages to fix, and the TV was also out of order. Ctrip tried to help us get some compensation, but to no avail. On the positive side, the hotel shares public facilities and family activities with the adjacent Hualuxe. The kids' restaurant also serves decent food. Jasmine took the kids crabbing, and both adults and children had a wonderful time. The suite also had basic kitchenware for heating food, and there's a laundry room available. Plus, takeout delivery is convenient in the area, so it offers good value for money.

We arrived at the hotel around 6 PM on the 23rd. We had anticipated the typhoon would arrive at 8 PM as per the forecast, but it turned out to be inaccurate. Even at 10 PM, the pool was still bustling with people enjoying themselves. Later that evening, I took a stroll from my room to the observation deck at the end of the corridor and noticed that the staff had already prepared all the sandbags for flood prevention. The front desk staff were very friendly, and our butler, Luy, was incredibly thoughtful. They even arranged for a fruit platter to be placed in our room while we were out for dinner. I felt the value for money was excellent. The facilities are comprehensive, and there's a supermarket conveniently located right next to the hotel's elevators. The road outside the lobby entrance was undergoing repairs, but this didn't affect our ability to hail a taxi; cabs were readily available nearby. On pleasant days, it's also very convenient to walk to the local market for a meal. In the evenings, the hotel pool was lively with many children, and the staff were diligently supervising, blowing whistles, and giving reminders to ensure safety. It's very convenient for families with children, and the hotel's playground is also quite spacious. By the way, in the evenings, both older gentlemen and young people could be seen sea fishing downstairs. Overall, the stay was very enjoyable and felt very welcoming. The scenery here is beautiful, regardless of the weather.
