Sanya Beach Hotels

The Westin stay was great! The room was clean and comfortable, the bedding was excellent, and the facilities were complete. The service was thoughtful, and the food was delicious. The rainforest river was absolutely stunning; paddling through the trees was relaxing and enjoyable, with coconut trees reflecting in the water, perfect for photos. The water activities created a fantastic vacation vibe! Our butler, Wyd, provided incredibly attentive service and was always quick to resolve any issues. The hotel's location is very convenient for shopping, being close to the duty-free shop – just across the street! You can also take a shuttle bus to the beach, and the sea view is breathtaking!

This was a 'lie-flat' vacation with the kids. I booked a 3-day, 2-night king-bed package during the 618 sale and upon arrival, we were upgraded to an 88-square-meter room. It had a garden view, which was actually nice because we couldn't see the construction of the Lijing project. Anyway, my little one spent every day either at the kids' club or in the pool, so whether it had a sea view or not made little difference. Mom seized the opportunity to pop over to the adjacent Hainan Duty-Free. The InterContinental has its own shortcut through the construction site to the duty-free shop, which is super convenient, and there's a 10% discount on regular-priced clothes and such, which is pretty good and saves a bit of money. The hotel has daily activities you can join; just book the starred ones a day in advance. The kids had a blast every day, busy from morning till night. In the evening, there were more activities and an iron flower performance. After completing the games and checking in, they even got gifts! With Dad's help, they collected a pile of toys, which made them so happy! Our butler, Bobby, was available for any questions, and it was easy to get fresh towels after swimming or grab slippers. We stayed on the second floor, and the auntie who served us was always smiling and very nice – big praise for her!

Banyan Tree Sanya, a hidden gem nestled in Luhuitou Bay. At night, I enjoyed a private soak in the courtyard's hot spring, accompanied by starlight, the gentle sway of palm trees, and the sound of the ocean. The warm water washed away the day's fatigue, and the evening breeze soothed my mind. No need to dwell on worldly worries; just gaze at the stars, listen to the waves, and find a rare sense of tranquility.

This is my second time in Haitang Bay and fourth time in Sanya, and the Grand Hyatt is definitely number one on my personal ranking. 1️⃣ Our butler, Diana, added me on WeChat the night before I left for Sanya and gave me all the information about the Grand Hyatt. Check-in was seamless, and because I had all the hotel info beforehand, taking the kids to eat, swim, and enjoy the sea was super easy. 2️⃣ On the second day of our stay, my child took a call on their smartwatch by the pool and casually left it on a lounge chair. We didn't realize until we got back to the room. I immediately contacted Diana, our butler, who promptly found the watch and personally delivered it to our room. My child's sadness turned to joy, and I can't express my gratitude enough. 3️⃣ The hotel breakfast is amazing! The Zao Po Cu rice noodles are a must-try – truly a hotel specialty. There's an incredible variety of fruits, over a dozen kinds, which our family from the north absolutely loved. The breakfast ice cream is high quality, and the pastries are both beautiful and delicious. All the juices are freshly squeezed, and there are also over a dozen toppings for yogurt and Qingbuliang. Plus, children under 12 eat breakfast for free! High quality and great value – the Grand Hyatt really knows what it's doing. 4️⃣ The hotel and our butler Diana gifted us wine, fruit, and coconuts, catering to both adults and children. Very thoughtful. 5️⃣ The hotel staff are exceptionally well-trained. Every employee we encountered greeted us proactively, and even when asking for directions, we received detailed and friendly assistance. 6️⃣ The children's activities are also excellent, at least for my 6-year-old daughter. She didn't miss a single morning activity, and the outdoor lawn activities were very engaging. In the evening, she saw iron flower performance and fire pots for the first time and absolutely loved them. 7️⃣ The family pool has changing rooms, which is fantastic! We would finish the children's activities and go straight to these changing rooms to change into our swimsuits, then head either to the sea or the pool, without having to go back and forth to our room. After playing by the sea, we'd use the changing room to shower, change into clean clothes, and then go for a buffet dinner – perfect. Our butler, Diana, consistently monitored our stay and promptly responded to and resolved any issues we had. A huge thumbs up! 👍 Looking back, I feel like our stay at the Grand Hyatt was too short. I wish I had shortened our time at the subsequent hotel and stayed longer here. Next time I'm in Sanya, it'll be straight to the Grand Hyatt.

Taking advantage of my recent leave, I brought my parents and child to Hainan and chose the Sheraton Yalong Bay Resort for a few days' stay. It was then I realized that the best of seaside vacations, a perfect blend of mountains and sea, is hidden right here within this resort. The hotel boasts an exclusive, prime beachfront location in Yalong Bay, surrounded by 100,000 square meters of lush tropical gardens. Towering coconut trees, blooming frangipani and flamboyant trees line the paths, while winding streams encircle pavilions and reflecting pools mirror the sky. Every few steps reveal a new floral display, and every ten steps, a breathtaking view of mountains and sea, creating a harmonious blend of Nanyang elegance and island wilderness. From the airy lobby, the vast expanse of turquoise sea stretches out before you, with a gentle breeze carrying a faint scent of coconut. All the dust and fatigue from the long journey instantly dissipate upon entering. A leisurely three-minute stroll through the gardens leads directly to the hotel's private, long stretch of silvery beach. The white sand is as fine as silk, and the clear, pristine nearshore waters resemble琉璃 (a type of ancient Chinese glazed pottery, here meaning crystal-clear glass). The gentle lapping of waves and the soft, reef-free waters make it ideal for family leisure. My parents could comfortably sit on rattan chairs under the coconut trees, gazing at the distant mountains and ocean, enjoying the cool breeze. The children, barefoot, chased waves and collected shells in the shallows. The resort also features five uniquely designed swimming pools, with dedicated shallow areas for children to play and splash to their hearts' content, worry-free. The guest rooms are spacious and bright, and the sea-view balconies offer a panoramic triple treat of coconut groves, sandy beaches, and the distant ocean. Leaning against the railing, I quietly awaited the sunset, watching the golden light melt into the sea, painting the entire horizon with a gentle glow. The service throughout the hotel was warm and attentive, with thoughtfulness hidden in every detail. The three meals offered a delightful array of mountain and sea flavors, with meticulous care taken morning, noon, and night. There's no need to venture far to find scenic beauty; within the resort, you can embrace all the poetic charm of the island – the coconut breeze, the sunset, and the sound of the tides. The most precious aspect of this trip was being in the gentle embrace of the Sheraton's mountains and sea. There was no need to rush to distant places; the refreshing breeze was ever-present, my elders were relaxed and content, and my child was joyful and free. Three generations spent precious time together, enjoying the beautiful seascape and the perfect family bliss. A bay of turquoise water, a garden full of lush greenery, a wonderful stay, and warm hospitality – all the myriad joys of this trip were made possible by the Sheraton Yalong Bay Resort.

The room's balcony offered a sea view, which was a pleasant surprise, and you could hear the sound of the waves. The twin beds were also perfect; my daughter and I had plenty of space. As soon as we checked in, we added the housekeeper, Tudou (Potato), on WeChat. He was incredibly responsible, checking in daily to see if we needed anything and always answering our questions – really great! While swimming isn't allowed in Haitang Bay, the hotel has sectioned off a small area where you can go into the water. It was quite hot and sunny during our stay, so we only went swimming or to the beach in the evenings. Overall, it was a good experience. I hope to visit the seaside in winter sometime; it's always so hot when I come!

Five-star review for Yalong Bay Mangrove Tree Resort World! I especially want to commend our butler, Coral. Before our trip, I had a lot of little questions, from check-in details to dining options nearby, and she answered every single one quickly and clearly. It was like having a walking encyclopedia! Seeing that we had kids, she thoughtfully sent up a seasonal fruit platter, which was wonderfully sweet and refreshing. Throughout our stay, whenever we had a request, whether it was for two extra bottles of water or inquiring about pool hours, she'd respond and resolve it within minutes. She truly delivered on every request. We booked a garden-view room for two nights, and the window overlooked lush tropical greenery – so peaceful and beautiful. The hotel's best asset is its location. Just through the garden, you're on the beach. It only takes two or three minutes to walk there with the kids to dig in the sand and play in the waves, making early morning and evening beach trips super convenient. The family activities were incredibly diverse, from bubble parties to DIY crafts, with multiple different events each day. Our kids never wanted to leave! Overall, the service is thoughtful, the location is excellent, and it's very family-friendly. We'll definitely choose to stay here again next time we're in Sanya.

The hotel building is supposedly the newest wing of the old BAO Hotel across the street where those staying in the Shanghai Huating Boutique must go for breakfast. We waited 25 minutes to check as there was one desk agent serving one customer although after 2pm. The other staff agent appeared after 3pm. We were required to pay a refundable 500 RMB deposit and after checking into our room, God only knows what anyone would take from the room that was worth 500 RMB. Old not ironed bed linen, rusted garbage can, rusted balcony sink, old clean bathroom towel, old kitchen appliances which only the refrigerator was plugged in to work. The room condition (walls, floors, tiles, fixtures, etc) of the 8 years old hotel that opened in 2018 is far worse than it should be unless they used old materials to build. The option to PAY MORE for an “ocean view” is not worth it. After complaining that my room had a “pool view” AND I didn’t get the “ocean view” room I had PREPAID for, I was told I could change to another room that had an ocean view the NEXT DAY (because all of the 2 twin bedrooms with “ocean view” were already occupied for the day. But after I was shown the only room that had a view of the unsightly harbor/ocean which came with an old hard king size mattress and in worse condition than my 2 twin beds room, I decided not to move to another room BECAUSE after viewing the other available rooms where guests had checked out, there were none any better to justify packing up and moving to another old room. I contacted Trip.com, but because the cancellation period for THIS hotel expired the day before arrival, thus not allowing a chance to view the room before accepting the room at checkin. This is a red flag 🚩 as a hotel with pride & confidence in its products & service would allow the cancellation to extend to AT LEAST to 2-4pm on the planned checkin date especially at a famous beach resort (DaDongHai) during the 15 days long Chinese New Year’s holiday. So, no chance to change hotels UNLESS I was willing to forfeit $487.47. Also, I should mention the ants that appeared on the kitchenette counter EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO FOOD on the counter, only my coffee cup that I washed and left on the counter to dry. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT MY STAY AT THIS “DESPERATELY NEED OF A PROPER RENOVATION” HOTEL IS THE ONE MORNING FEMALE DESK AGENT THAT ASSISTED ME A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MORNING AND A HOUSEKEEPING LADY SO, I GAVE BOTH A GOOD LUCK RED ENVELOPE 🧧 AS IT WAS THE CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY. If I go back to Da Dong Hai, I will DEFINITELY LOOK for a better hotel for my usually desired 5-10 days Sun & Beach vacation.

We booked the Celebrity Suite, which was very spacious and perfect for families. The room was also very clean. Although some of the facilities were a bit old, it didn't affect our comfortable stay. My favorite part was the large balcony with direct ocean views – a true beachfront experience! We could go straight down to the sea for a swim. A special shout-out to our housekeeper, Suyu, who saw we had elderly guests and children and arranged for a late check-out for us, allowing everyone to take a nap before leaving.

My stay at Wanda Vista Sanya Haitang Bay was absolutely perfect! The hotel's tropical gardens are serene and elegant, offering direct oceanfront views in a peaceful and relaxing environment. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, and very convenient for getting to the duty-free shop. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients. Ella was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and attentive, quickly resolving all my needs. Overall, the value for money is exceptional, and the vacation experience was outstanding. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Sanya!
