Scenic Hotels in Haikou

"A few years ago, I visited Haikou with friends. My friend booked this hotel for our two-night stay before we headed to Sanya, and I distinctly remember having a wonderfully positive experience. That's why this year, when planning a family trip, I confidently chose The Langham Haikou again. My family was also incredibly satisfied with the hotel choice for this trip; both the front desk staff and the restaurant service received high praise from them. We were especially delighted with our room. It offered a breathtaking panoramic view, allowing us to lie in bed and soak in the beautiful sights of Century Bridge, the expansive ocean, and Wanlu Park. The beauty and comfort were truly indescribable. What's more, the price was quite reasonable. Haha, we're extremely satisfied! I highly recommend everyone to visit and experience it for yourselves."

"The location is perfect! The hotel is right next to the airport, so you can always come back to rest when you're tired, and then go out and eat again. The surrounding restaurants clearly mark their prices, and the food is really good, so you don't have to worry about being ripped off."

"A perfect score is a must! First, I must commend the front desk service; they were patient and attentive, and even upgraded our room for free. The room was impeccably clean; there wasn't a speck of dust on the floor even when barefoot. The mattress and pillows were just the right firmness, very neck-friendly, and I slept exceptionally comfortably. The shower had great water pressure, and the hot water came on quickly, washing away all our fatigue. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options. The bread and Hainanese noodles were particularly tasty, and the hotel was open until 10 am, which was still quite convenient. The fruit was fresh and sweet. Our flight was in the afternoon, and the hotel's latest airport shuttle service was at 2:50 pm. We asked the front desk at 4 pm if they still offered the shuttle, and they said they had a car available to take us directly to the airport. Their service was incredibly thoughtful, and I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I have a layover in Haikou! Highly recommended!"

"This hotel is beautifully situated right by the sea, offering a truly serene and picturesque setting. What's more, the value for money during our summer vacation stay was exceptional. The rooms are great, and there are two swimming pools along with dedicated water play facilities for children. There's a wide range of activities available, so you could easily spend a whole day here without needing to leave the hotel. The ocean is just across the road, and it's super convenient to grab coconuts and other local refreshing treats right by the beach. The only minor drawback is that items at the hotel's mini-mart are quite pricey, even more expensive than what you'd find in a mountaintop shop. I hope the hotel considers improving this; while a slight markup is understandable, it shouldn't unnecessarily detract from their overall image. Overall, it's definitely worth staying and highly recommended."

"Let's start with the good points ❤️. The hotel's public areas are quite spacious, the staff are friendly and helpful, the air conditioning is effective, and there's live music in the evenings. There are four swimming pools; the lifeguard at the large deep pool is very responsible, and swim caps are mandatory. They even help older guests with doors and proactively informed us that the nearby spa has restrooms and showers. Only the white slide at the bubble pool was open, but it was still fun enough. The hot spring pool was nice and warm, not crowded, and very relaxing. The daily children's activities were quite good; we participated in the Tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) and fruit tea DIY, which were ready to eat and tasted delicious. Breakfast was standard; nothing surprisingly special, but it had all the essentials. We chose a suite, and having two bathrooms was very convenient. Now, for the complaints 😤. This was my second trip to Haikou, specifically to let my child play in the sand. However, the beach at the Sheraton felt completely detached from the hotel. There was absolutely nothing there – just endless sand, not even a single chair. I truly don't understand the point of having a beachfront like that... Upon check-in, every guest is assigned a butler and asked to add them on WeChat by scanning a QR code. On the day of my arrival, I asked if children's activities could be booked on the same day and was told yes. However, both the brochure in the lobby and the WeChat group (after scanning to join) stated that activities required booking at least two hours in advance. This group had nearly 200 strangers, and to sign up, they required room number, name, phone number, etc. I found the hotel's privacy protection awareness to be extremely poor. So, the next morning, I sent my personal registration information to the butler, asking her to help register me internally. Two hours later, the butler directly posted my personal information into the group chat! Meanwhile, when I went directly to the activity registration room, I was told that all DIY activities for that day had already been fully booked the night before. It was only resolved after I complained to the front desk. For such a well-established five-star hotel, their procedures and privacy awareness are simply appalling. And the activity I finally managed to register for after complaining was chaotic, with no proper instructions. Next, regarding room cleaning. On the first day, our room wasn't cleaned until around 2 PM. I asked a staff member, who said there's a 'Please Make Up Room' button on the door, and pressing it would prompt immediate service. However, the next day, I pressed it before leaving at 8:30 AM, and by 1 PM, no one had come. It took another hour after calling guest services for housekeeping to finally arrive... So, is that button just for show? The room itself showed signs of age and neglect: the faucet leaked even when fully shut, the tiles on the bathroom floor behind the door were broken, and there were countless scuffs and damages. The mattress wasn't particularly soft, but it wasn't uncomfortable to sleep on either. On my way to the airport on the last day, the butler messaged me, asking if I had any issues during my stay. I mentioned the late room cleaning, and she apologized, offering a fruit platter and late checkout for a future stay. She even asked if I could refrain from posting a review... Quite the gesture of 'sincerity' – shouldn't such an inquiry be made a day in advance? Oh, and the children's small pool was extremely dirty. Perhaps it was because kids went directly from the beach into the pool to play... It's hard to believe that a five-star hotel's service could be so problematic!"

"The room was spacious, equipped with a small sofa, a work desk, and plenty of storage, including a designated spot for luggage near the entrance. As a returning guest, I didn't snap any photos of the room this time. Our main reason for visiting was to take the kids swimming, as we specifically wanted a hotel with an indoor pool. Sofitel's design and ambiance are also very stylish and attractive, and the current affordable price made it an easy choice! The pools are excellent, divided into three sections: a large 1.4-meter indoor pool and a smaller, warm pool (Pic 1). The outdoor pool offers nice views too, and is great for a swim in the evening. A big thank you to Amber for the thoughtful little gift (Pic 2)! We opened the blind box and got an adorable little kangaroo pulling a suitcase 🦘. She also kindly asked about our stay in detail, which was incredibly considerate ❤️."

"The first time I came to Haikou Mission Hills to play golf, I chose the top-of-the-line hotel Ritz. Compared with other Ritz hotels in the country, this hotel is very cost-effective, which is really a benefit for golfers. Although the scale of this Ritz is small and the crowd is relatively small, from the hardware facilities to the service quality, it is the most in line with the hotel culture standards of all the Ritz hotels I have stayed in. The hotel is well maintained, the overall style is luxurious and steady, with a strong British gentleman style, but not old-fashioned. The style, color matching and decoration materials are worthy of the quality of Ritz. The room is well soundproofed, the balcony is large, the bedding is super comfortable, and you can have a good rest after playing golf. Suzy, the housekeeper, is considerate and asked about the check-in requirements before arrival, and any needs can be responded to immediately. Including other service staff, the attitude is particularly perfect. This hotel is definitely the best choice in Mission Hills Resort."

"I was very pleasantly surprised by my stay at Atour Hotel this time. As soon as I entered the lobby, I felt it was very bright and grand. The check-in process was very quick, the service was very enthusiastic, and they told me the location of the hotel's facilities. The room was spacious and clean, fresh, and odorless, with good sound insulation. Although it was centrally air-conditioned, there was no sound. You can also call Xiaodu to help you turn on the TV and curtains. The breakfast was also very rich, with both Chinese and Western styles. When I checked out, I was given water to drink on the way. The service was very enthusiastic."

"I was transferring at Meilan Airport and the transit time was too long, so I chose this hotel. I have to say that from the beginning of pick-up to the final drop-off, the service was really very warm and made people feel comfortable and happy. Not only did they upgrade the room type for free, they were also very prompt and proactive in providing airport drop-off in the middle of the night. I hope everyone who makes the transition can feel happy."

"Room Facilities: Our suite featured one bedroom and a separate living area. The view was great, and sipping tea while enjoying the breeze on the balcony was incredibly relaxing. Cleanliness: Towels were promptly replaced whenever requested, and extension cords and latex pillows were delivered quickly upon need. Location & Ambiance: This has become my go-to hotel whenever I'm in Haikou for sightseeing and dining; I'm quite accustomed to it. Its convenient location means everything is easily accessible. Enjoying coffee at Datang, dining at the buffet, and taking in the panoramic views from the rooftop bar are all fantastic options. Hotel Activities: The Bamboo Dance activity was a lot of fun! We stumbled upon it right after dinner. I tried it, and it's quite challenging, though others made it look so effortless. It's definitely an entertaining activity that kids would love. Dining & Drinks: A sunset cocktail at Qia Restaurant's Sky Bar was perfect for enjoying the views and good conversation. The buffet, around 160 RMB after a 50% discount, offered a great variety. My family had a wonderful dinner there, and the service was excellent. We also received three complimentary lobby drinks (we chose coffee, juice, and tea), and the service from the staff was great. Room Allocation: This time, we were assigned a room on the 12th floor, which was a nice change from our previous stays on the 3rd or 6th. The higher floor definitely offered a much better view."
