Le Meridien Hotels in Wanning

Sanya has a place I absolutely *must* visit every year, and that's Wanning. Wanning is a place I'd go to 10,000 times and still want to return! Le Meridien is also the hotel where our kids never want to leave, year after year... 🌴 **Stunning Public Areas & Soft Sandy Beach** Stepping into the lobby, you're immediately greeted by the azure sea, blue sky, and the island opposite 🏝️. The lobby bar is wonderfully cool, and they even arranged afternoon tea for us while we were checking in – who can resist such joy? 😄 We quickly changed into our swimwear and headed straight for a dip. The family rooms are super convenient, with direct access to the kids' pool. The 6000-meter private beach is uncrowded and picturesque, with fine, pristine white sand. The area around the Horizon Restaurant offers picture-perfect shots that need no filters! 😄 🌴 **Squirrel Farm 🐿️** An idyllic day living amidst nature! This farm, nestled between the blue sky, beach, and coconut groves, lets kids experience being a little farmer for a day. They can pick fresh vegetables to feed the small animals. There are adorable bunnies 🐰 that sweetly chase you for veggies, as well as pigeons, chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep who will spontaneously break into a lively 'concert' whenever they please. And of course, the stars of the show are the little squirrels scurrying above your head. It's a joyful day for the kids, and an enviable one for mom! 😂 🌴 **Beiye Planet Kids' Club** The kids' club at Le Meridien has become an old friend; we always enroll our children here. The indoor and outdoor activities are constantly varied. You can even paddleboard on the river next to the Squirrel Farm! If it rains, they have indoor crafting, whack-a-mole games, and an indoor playground – giving moms the perfect opportunity to snap some beautiful photos! 😄 🌴 **Sea Adventures** We pretty much experienced all the sea activities here that we didn't get to do in Sanya: sailing ⛵️, banana boating, family snorkeling, and speedboat rides 🚤. It’s truly not hot out on the sea, just filled with happy screams! Since all these are hotel-organized activities, we felt completely at ease. Snorkeling was a new experience for us, taking place near Jiajing Island. We got to see corals 🪸 and small fish up close, and even feed them. The accompanying instructor will take photos for you 📷. My advice: don't bring anything along, as it'll likely get lost. Wear long-sleeved and long-legged swimwear 😄. 🌴 **Hidden Gem ~ Crabbing Expedition 🦀** After our beach BBQ one evening, we were fortunate enough to catch a pink sunset, and my little photographer brother captured some truly 'life-defining' photos for me. Spurred on, our crabbing squad set off! Armed with headlamps, we shone them on the little sand crabs on the beach, and they'd freeze. A mineral water bottle works best for catching them. Dad found a fantastic spot where crabs seemed to 'drift' over like pieces in a connect-the-dots game! From around 9-10 PM, there's an area next to the river where we paddleboarded during the day, specifically near the reef and the beach in front of the Squirrel Farm. Perhaps due to the high tide, crabs floated in one by one. Prepare a net, or just use thick gloves to grab them. Don't ask me how I know – everyone here becomes an expert! 😂 🌴 **Dining at Le Meridien** During our stay, we dined at the Chinese restaurant, Horizon Restaurant, and enjoyed the beach BBQ buffet. All were excellent and perfectly suited for families, especially the beach BBQ buffet. With a live singer and a stunning sunset, the atmosphere was truly magical! How should I sum it up? My son asked me very earnestly: “Mom, can I please stay a few more days? I still want to play!”
