Beach Hotels in Hainan, China

"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."

"I specifically booked the Hilton Wenchang Wengyuan to watch the rocket launch on August 10th. Here's an objective and honest review of my stay, hoping it helps future visitors coming to see the launch. The hotel's facilities are standard Hilton resort quality. The breakfast offered a rich variety, and the food quality was generally good. However, due to the massive influx of guests on the rocket launch day, many arrangements fell short, significantly impacting the overall stay experience. We arrived near the hotel around 3-4 PM, and the road about one or two kilometers from the hotel was severely congested. This short distance took almost half an hour. Traffic control was in effect, and since we hadn't checked in yet and didn't have physical room cards, the traffic police initially refused to let our vehicle enter the area, even after showing our Trip.com booking confirmation. Attempts to contact the hotel butler went unanswered. After much discussion and effort, we were finally reluctantly allowed through. If we couldn't get into the hotel, we would have had to park outside, which meant walking nearly a kilometer from the outer road to the hotel lobby – extremely inconvenient. On the day of the launch, the lobby was flooded with a large number of non-hotel guests waiting to watch the rocket, making it very crowded and noisy. For dining, only the Chinese restaurant and the buffet dinner were available. The Chinese restaurant was fully booked very early. With all the surrounding roads congested, driving to town for a meal was virtually impossible, leaving the hotel buffet as the only option. While there was relatively sufficient seating at the buffet, the sheer number of people meant long queues for popular items like BBQ, and fresh items were quickly taken. I recommend dining as early as possible. I added the butler upon check-in, but unfortunately, on this peak launch day, I didn't receive any proactive important alerts. I sincerely suggest that the hotel, for future major events like rocket launches, further optimizes its service: proactively send out various travel and dining advisories to guests in advance; open a pre-registration channel for guest car plates, ensuring priority entry and parking for hotel guests based on their booking information; and simultaneously remind everyone to make dining reservations in advance to reduce various on-site hassles. This time, I booked a space-view room. Since I booked early, the price was reasonable. I heard that closer to the launch date, room rates soared to 3500 RMB per night, which at that price point, offers poor value for money. A crucial tip for future rocket watchers: after liftoff, the rocket flies southeast and quickly passes over the rooftop. From the room balcony, you can only see a small part of the ascent before it's quickly obscured by buildings. To watch the rocket's full flight, I highly recommend heading to the hotel beach. As a side note, there's a bit of a walk from the hotel to the beach, and the coastline has many rocks. The beach environment isn't as good as in Wanning. In summary: During off-peak periods without launches, this would likely be a great resort hotel. However, during a major event like a rocket launch with a massive influx of guests, the hotel's crowd control and proactive information dissemination have significant room for improvement. For tourists specifically coming to see the rocket, it's essential to plan your travel time, dining arrangements, and room type well in advance."

"Finally checked into Wutong Jiuli in Sanya, and the stay was absolutely fantastic! The most stunning feature was the full-house, massive panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering an unobstructed, direct view of the ocean. Lounging on the sofa in the living room, I could gaze at the deep blue sea during the day and wait for the 'orange sea' sunset in the evening. The scenery was so incredibly therapeutic that I didn't even want to leave. The room decor is simple yet elegant, with a comfortable and clean layout that's perfect for photos. It's very close to the beach, making it super convenient for a stroll by the sea. The entire guesthouse has a quiet and tranquil atmosphere, free from noise, ideal for a slow-paced, relaxing vacation. Waking up to the sight of the ocean, truly immersing myself in the sea breeze and sunset – anyone looking for a peaceful seaside escape must choose this place. This was the most satisfying accommodation of my trip!"

"The room facilities are complete; although they look a bit dated, they are very well maintained and don't affect the user experience at all. The cleanliness is also excellent, with both public areas and rooms meeting five-star standards. The environment speaks for itself – it's a 2-minute walk to the coastline with soft, fine sand, and there are recreational activities available on the beach. While the sea color isn't as crystal clear as in Sanya, it doesn't detract from the beach experience. The service is also very attentive; whether it's check-in, the pool, or dining, the experience is great. Guests even get a butler who adds them on WeChat to provide service, always responsive to requests. Overall, I highly recommend staying here when in Haikou."

"STAFF APPRECIATION: Momo is my MVP! I am not certain what her work hours were, but she replied promptly to any question I had no matter when I messaged her. She also kindly upgraded me from a garden room to a sea view with gorgeous scenery. I wanted to extend another night. Not only Momo, but all the staff here are professional and kind and I was greeted with a smile wherever I went.😊 The 阿姨们 especially were very lovely. HOTEL REVIEW: Incredible. While there, I had the feeling not many tourists know it exists. Part of me was grateful because it leant to the extremely peaceful atmosphere, but part of me wants to share the news of this place with everyone I meet with plans to travel to Sanya. The room was immaculate. The meals were delicious with generous portions. The pink sand was new and fun. The beach was super close, a good size, and private, so no one was fighting for space to relax or play. FLO Spa was a welcome respite. I encourage a visit if time and your budget allow. They also offer shuttle service to nearby Tianya with reservation. If going on your own, a Didi is only about 10 or 11 yuan. It's definitely worth a visit. I traveled alone, but there were spaces and activities for pets, kids, and couples as well. I could go on and on, but I'll let my pictures talk for me. TLDR; Good location. Wonderful staff. Something for everyone. Family friendly (fun for both the human babies and fur babies). Right on the beach. Close to Tianya Haijiao. Very foreigner friendly. 10/10 recommend. 🏖"

"This hotel really excels in many aspects: convenient transportation, direct beach access, a wide array of facilities, and delicious breakfast. While you might find individual hotels that beat it in one specific area, its overall score makes it a fantastic choice. Our visit coincided with some bad weather, with rain every morning. However, the hotel offered plenty of activities. We enjoyed the gym, took some fun travel photos, and when the rain eased, we'd head to the pool. When the weather cleared up in the afternoon, we'd go for a swim in the sea. In fact, there were so many active options that I even lost a little weight during our stay! Dining at the nearby seafood market in the evenings was also very convenient. The hotel's service was excellent as well. Rose, who I connected with on WeChat, was incredibly helpful throughout our stay, assisting me with various issues. This made for a very comfortable experience."

"You can see the sea view from the bed. The room is very clean and the facilities are not bad. There is also a large swimming pool in the community. The community is quite quiet. There are many restaurants in the community. It is rich and frugal. It takes a few minutes to walk to the beach. It is very suitable for vacation. The community is three or four minutes away and there is a bus stop and a free bus stop to the duty-free shop. The housekeeper responds quickly. There are also electric cars provided. The price is cheaper than the same community. Overall, it is very satisfactory. The air conditioner is cooler. It is better."

"The B&B is beautiful, and the beach is right downstairs, which is super convenient. All the pictures are genuine. It's pet-friendly, and they even deliver food orders right to your room. We booked a family room with two balconies, so hanging clothes didn't obstruct the beautiful view. The customer service staff were also very responsive and helpful with all our questions."

"This is my second stay at this sea-view guesthouse! The service is genuinely efficient, the hygiene is impeccable, the environment is quiet and healing, and the facilities are well-maintained – not too new, not too old. I've already recommended it to my friends!"

"My stay in the king-size room was absolutely fantastic! The bed was soft and spacious, incredibly relaxing to lie on, and the pillows were just right – I slept like a baby. The room had great natural light and was spotlessly clean; not a speck of dust even in the corners. All the amenities were complete and worked perfectly. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, the location was convenient for getting around, and it was wonderfully quiet. Amazing value for money – I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip!"
