Guest UserTo sum it up, this was a nearly perfect vacation, and in my opinion, if you're looking for a quiet, tranquil, and comfortable resort experience, then Banyan Tree Sanya is the absolute best in Sanya! Beyond these advantages that surpass other hotels, Banyan Tree doesn't skimp on the expected perks of a luxury brand. First, the online claims of outdated facilities are unfounded; everything is in perfect working order. Second, regarding hygiene, even with a private pool villa nestled in the rainforest, I found the cleanliness to be absolutely up to standard! I was also quite satisfied with breakfast, especially the sour and spicy seafood noodles and the egg tarts – absolutely superb! And most importantly, the service. You can tell the front desk and concierge staff are genuinely dedicated; they are very patient and communicate and resolve issues promptly. Since it was our anniversary, they even upgraded our room when available, a big thank you to our butler, Youyou, for this wonderful hospitality!
Overall, this trip far exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely satisfied!

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied! Butler Lili proactively contacted us in advance and communicated with us throughout our stay, providing exceptional and thoughtful service. We were assigned the highest floor, and the room was spacious with a fantastic sea view. Most of the parent-child activities are free, like paddleboarding and the mini-train, which other places usually charge for, making it excellent value for money. I also want to commend the staff at the kids' club; when one of our tokens wasn't recognized, they gave us six new ones. Our little one managed to win the bag she wanted with those last tokens, which made her very happy. Generally, InterContinental gives me the impression of being very generous, not a stingy hotel at all. The experience was top-notch, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Sanya.

Guest UserWe stayed for four nights and barely left the hotel. The twin beds in the room were both 1.5-meter wide, which was particularly great for families with children. We could also request laundry detergent and hangers, making it super convenient to dry clothes. There was a variety of pillows to choose from. The Royal Club's dining pretty much covered all our food and drink needs throughout the day. If you're not looking for gourmet meals, you won't go hungry from morning till night: breakfast until 11 am, afternoon tea from around 2 pm to past 4 pm, and dinner from what felt like 7 pm to 9 pm – you could really just keep eating. For a richer Chinese breakfast, Saffron offers Roujiamo, and for better views, head to the Royal Club on the 48th floor. But I truly want to recommend the Crab House – it was absolutely delicious! The curry, salted egg yolk, and signature preparations were all incredibly tasty! The kids' meal was also great. If you have the budget, don't hesitate. For entertainment, we spent every day at Aquaventure Waterpark! When we got tired, it was very convenient to just head back to the hotel to rest. We visited the Aquarium daily; the shows were plentiful, and the mermaid performance even brought tears to my eyes, it was so beautiful. We never got tired of seeing all the marine life; we went to see 'Xiao Man' every day, it was so interesting! The dolphin show and C-show are both worth seeing. We were so busy playing that we didn't arrange for vacation photos. If they offered retouched photos, we might have been tempted, but with only original photos, we didn't want the hassle. The parking is free, and there's a shuttle bus to the lobby available at all times, which is very convenient. Our butler, the lovely Ms. Geng, was very thorough in her介绍. Thumbs up to her! This is our second time at Atlantis, and we still love it. Hope they continue to manage it well so we can visit again!

Zhuimengren928I've been to Sanya many times, but I've never really taken the time to relax and enjoy it. When I saw this package from Trip.com, I noticed the hotel, though old, was close to the airport and had high online ratings, so I decided to give it a try. The day before arrival, I received a call from the hotel front desk. I informed them I'd be arriving on an early morning flight and hoped for an upgrade. They said it wouldn't be a problem and everything was arranged, which made me feel pretty good.
However, upon arriving at the hotel, I found it was indeed old, and the service was genuinely poor. The front desk staff had a cold expression, told me no rooms were available yet, and an upgrade was out of the question. I really couldn't understand how the hotel trained its staff. I was completely dumbfounded. With no other option, I contacted Trip.com customer service, and I really have to commend them. They were incredibly patient and enthusiastic in helping us communicate with the hotel. After much back-and-forth, we finally checked into a satisfactory room by 3 PM.
The hotel butler was quite welcoming, but the afternoon tea and evening Happy Hour at the executive lounge were truly disappointing. There were only a few pastries, and in the evening, they added some hot tofu. We had no interest in going back on the second day. Sanya is still a great place, and the hotel is very close to Wuzhizhou Island, but I probably won't choose this hotel again next time.

Davin.TSheraton Haitang Bay has lots of kids friendly activities throughout the day and a mini train to take us through the prooperties (it goes to the next door JW Mariott properties as well). The family bicycle is also useful to take leisurely stroll around. We got a free upgrade to a room with swimming pool right outside our balcony which is fantastic - the kids love it! Late in-room dining of wenchang chicken rice and seafood fried rice were also delicious. Great experience overall

YuxiThis hotel was originally just a one-night stopover, but the overall facilities, lounge, and room type turned out to be a pleasant surprise. In China, you probably won't find a JW Marriott at this price again.
The hotel is located on a rocky beach in Dadonghai, without sand, but offering a different experience: mudflats foraging and swimming in the sea (there's a recessed, shallow area on the rocky beach in front of the hotel that's safer at low tide). The overall sea view isn't bad at all; one side offers a view of the curved Dadonghai beach, while the other faces the lighthouse.
The hotel facilities are quite comprehensive, with a long family pool and a shallow children's pool. Armbands and full-body swimming life jackets are provided free of charge, and there are even cylindrical holders for shoes. There are numerous lifeguards, strategically placed so that every blind spot of one lifeguard is covered by another. This is completely different from the setup at other five-star hotels in Sanya, and the pool closes at 10 PM, which received unanimous praise from my family. The outdoor open-air children's playground is similar; for younger children, the playground staff will even follow behind to supervise, truly demonstrating JW's high standards.
We booked an executive sea-view room in the East Wing, a room type that directly faces the sunrise over Rabbit Tail Ridge. Plus, it has a huge balcony, instantly eliminating any feeling of a small room.
Since we only stayed for one day, we couldn't experience many of the dining options. However, seeing the hotel selling egg pancakes for 15 RMB and refreshing Qingshubiang for 20 RMB, I immediately felt that the prices were accessible to the general public. The executive lounge's food could only be described as average Marriott quality (I suspect this might be due to the hotel's price point), but it's one of the few resort hotels that even has an executive lounge. The breakfast experience was excellent, with stewed soups, JW noodles, numerous egg preparations, fermented grain vinegar, sour noodles, Hou'an noodles, and various fresh juices. Among the three hotels we stayed at in Sanya, this was the lowest-priced hotel, yet it had the highest breakfast standards.
The service was excellent overall. Whether it was the lounge attendant helping us with a last-minute room change (and getting us a room with a large balcony), or the front desk staff running out to find the mini-train because my child wanted to ride it when it was almost closing time, or the proactive luggage service and reminders from our butler Una, it all truly met the high standards of a luxury five-star hotel!
Some suggestions:
1. The open space on the large balcony could really benefit from some decorations and lounge chairs; I think it would enhance the resort feel.
2. Stronger signage is needed from the East Wing to the West Wing breakfast area. It's quite hard to find since you have to take an elevator.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. Aside from the lack of a sandy beach, this is a high-standard, high-value-for-money resort hotel!

Posted onJul 28, 2026|Yacht Bay King Room | Sunset View Balcony & Private Outdoor Hot Tub
Mermaid 周慧Overall, I had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel. It’s worth noting that the hotel caters primarily to Russian tourists, so much of the signage, tours and information are aimed at Russian guests. As an English speaker, this sometimes made things a little more difficult, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying my holiday.
When I arrived, I had a couple of issues with my room. The hot tub took over an hour to fill, and the water wouldn’t stay warm while it was running, so I wasn’t really able to enjoy it. The charging ports in the room also weren’t working, although the hotel kindly provided me with an adapter, which solved that problem. Unfortunately, the hot tub issue was never resolved.
The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of food each morning. The swimming pool was also lovely—warm, clean and a great place to relax.
My biggest concern was the fish spa. I initially thought seeing a dead fish was just a one-off, but I noticed dead fish in the spa every day during my stay. That made me question how well the spa was being maintained, and I hope the hotel looks into this.
The staff were always kind, polite and helpful, and despite the few issues, I had a lovely stay overall. With a little more attention to maintenance, particularly in the fish spa and the hot tub, this hotel would be even better.

Guest UserOur family's stay in Sanya this time was a great overall experience. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to get around, and it's very close to the beach, just a short walk away. The room was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bedding was very comfortable to sleep in. The staff were enthusiastic and polite, and responded promptly. The environment is quiet, perfect for seniors and children to rest. The breakfast selection was rich and tasty. Our comfortable stay definitely enhanced this trip. It's highly recommended for family travel, and we would consider staying here again next time.

Guest UserI chose the Sanya Haitang Bay Mangrove Resort for my trip to Sanya this time, and overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay. I booked a sea-view room, and the balcony faced the ocean directly. Waking up to the sea view in the morning was fantastic. The room was spacious enough, the bedding was comfortable, and there was a bathtub on the balcony – soaking in it while looking at the sea was really enjoyable. The breakfast had a wide variety and tasted good. Our butler, Steven, provided excellent service. He contacted us in advance to prepare the room, and he was very quick to respond on WeChat whenever we had questions. There are several swimming pools, and even transparent kayaks. The 'pet zone' was also a good way to pass the time. In the evening, there were free iron flower and fire dance performances on the lawn, which were quite lively.

patornI absolutely have to give a shout-out to Ella, the butler at Wanda Realm!
To be honest, the room facilities are a bit dated; you can definitely see the age in the bathroom and furniture. But that didn't detract from our experience at all, because the butler service was simply outstanding!
From adding her on WeChat to communicate our needs during check-in, to receiving daily thoughtful weather and activity reminders, every request was met with a prompt response. The butler even specially delivered a fresh fruit platter to our room. And at check-out, she had prepared Hainan specialty souvenirs. The attention to detail was incredible, making us feel truly valued and pampered.
Moreover, the hotel's outdoor environment is absolutely stunning! The sand on the beach is as fine as flour, the seawater is crystal clear, and every photo you take looks like a wallpaper. The complimentary travel photoshoot was an even bigger surprise; the photographer patiently guided our poses, and the results were simply amazing. We ended up buying a package of over twenty photos, which was far better than any roadside photographer – why even bother with a bicycle when you have a luxury car? (a Chinese idiom meaning 'why settle for less when you can have the best')
Honestly, I truly believe that without the dedicated efforts of these high-quality professionals, this hotel would struggle to operate so smoothly. The hardware might be old, but the warmth of the people makes up for it. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who values service experience! We'll definitely be back! 👍
It's very close to the duty-free shop, so we had a great time shopping 🥰 If you're not an early riser, there's no need to buy breakfast; you can order takeout nearby 🥡 There's McDonald's and KFC.
