Beach Hotels in Hainan, China

I had such a great experience at this hotel in Sanya! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by all the spots you’d want to explore. The pool was super nice, perfect for chilling when you don’t feel like heading to the ocean. The best part? I got upgraded to a better room by the sweetest receptionist ever, Xiaojing 小静 (seriously, she’s the best!). The upgraded room had the most stunning beach view—I didn’t want to leave! If you’re looking for a spot with amazing vibes and top-notch service, this is it. Can’t wait to come back!

I enjoyed staying at the Pearl River Garden hotel, during my 5 night stay I was really glad to meet the Owner Jim who has helped me during my stay here! The buffet breakfast was also very nice with a wide variety of food for everybody. The hotel has a gym, and two pools. I enjoyed soaking in the pool to cool down after a long day. Also I forgot to mention the hotel room itself, it’s very big, with a comfortable bed and a large shower. Everything is clean and the housekeeping are generous with giving you lots of water. I am happy to come back again!

The hotel was decent but didn’t quite have a grand or true 5-star feel. The room was spacious and clean, but the view was just okay, as the jetty somewhat disrupted it.

This hotel location was very nice very clean very good service Too much Russian people in this hotel and location The good restaurants like dolphin restaurant near to this hotel This is my first time in traveling didn't want back to home 😂🫠

Immediately after checking in I inspected the room and found hair on the towels. Unpleasant. Our room was for 2 persons, but shower cap and hair brush just for one. Service was strange: one day maid disturbed at 9 to clean the room, the other day it wasn't cleaned even after 16. Twice we had to ask for water refill because day shift forgot about it. It is the first hotel I've met where water bottles are smaller than 500ml. Shower gel was presented as a small tube, not enough for two person. To feel comfortable in shower I brought a whole bottle from the nearby supermarket. Don't know why in smaller and cheaper hotels provide full-size bottles, but in DDH Hotel - no. If your room is near the elevators, you're gonna listen to them every minute, no sound isolation at all. Good points: breakfast from 7 tpo 12,even at 11 the food is still enough. European and chinese dishes, all good quality. Except baozi - not hot enough, stick to each other. Excellent location - 3 minutes to the beach, 2 minutes to market square (food market due to New Year). The majority of guests arrived in groups. If you are asingle traveler, you will wait for notice until the groups are admitted. A message about early check in was ignored, so I waited 4 hours for a room. Luggage room was just an area in the hall without any restrictions - ”you can leaveyour luggage, it is safe, it is ok”. Very ”secure”. I can recommend thishotel only in the part of breakfast and location. Single traveler can find a much better place

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The excellent location was the main reason I booked it again. Although the hotel is a bit outdated, the rooms are still clean. The staff is professional, and changing rooms was no problem at all. The breakfast buffet is sufficient, and the pool facilities are inviting. The hotel is mainly frequented by Russian guests. Mostly families stayed at the hotel, and it was quiet. There are plenty of excursion opportunities, and the hotel offers a good range of activities.

Very nice hotel , helpful staffs , lovely breakfast with Europe and Chinese cuisine from 07:00 AM till 10:30 AM . Beach in 1 min walk and many different pools for different ages. Best for family stay , everything was clean and nice . Recommend you guys !!!

Thanks to Butler Wendy who is helpful in helping us upgrade to a Bigger and Better Sea View Apartment. It comes with a bathtub on the balcony. We just arrived at the hotel (after a red eye flight), she recommended a Coconut Chicken Hot pot next to the hotel and even brought us there. She constantly checks in with us to ensure that our stay is comfortable. Pros: 1. The location is convenient near the Sanya City so traveling around for food and attractions is easy with DiDi (taxi). 2. The bed is comfy. The apartment comes with a washing machine, fridge and induction cooker (but may have to ask them for the pots) 3. Breakfast is a good spread with Chinese and Western food options. Most importantly, breakfast time is till 1 pm. Cons: 1. Wifi is very very weak, and can't be used at all. And being a tourist (foreigner) we have to use our precious data roaming. 2. There is no chair and table at the balcony which does not allow us to sit and relax at the balcony. 3. The Swimming pool strangely is located outside of the hotel in a public space. So it feels weird going down for a swim. 4. There is no beach front but there is a beautiful pathway leading to Phoenix Island, so the walking and jogging is pleasant.

Right across the street from a pleasant beach, a short walk to plenty of restaurants, and only about 20 minutes to the airport. The staff greeted us and helped us bring our luggage all the way to the room. The room itself had a bathtub on the balcony overlooking the ocean. It was too cold to swim, but the pool looked amazing, with water slides and a floating obstacle course. There was a kid's playroom with hours of stuff for them to do. Lots of extras, like a nightly BBQ, fish foot baths, and various activities throughout the day. I wish I stayed here longer!

Let's start with the positives. The rooms at the hotel were undeniably great. They were spacious, well-designed, and offered a comfortable ambiance. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail in the room decor, making it a pleasant space to relax after a long day of exploring the area. The hotel's breakfast selection was another highlight of my stay. There was a good variety of options, and the quality of the food was quite impressive. Starting my day with a satisfying breakfast definitely set a positive tone for my daily adventures. Though the overall service at the hotel was just okay, there was one staff member who stood out and made a significant difference in my stay - Kitty. Kitty's exceptional assistance and attentiveness were truly commendable. She went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining options. However, there were some glaring issues that affected my experience. First and foremost, the Wi-Fi connection was terrible. As a traveler, having reliable internet access is essential for staying connected and planning daily activities. Unfortunately, the unreliable Wi-Fi at the hotel made this difficult, and it was quite frustrating. Additionally, the swimming pool was a letdown. Despite appearing beautiful in the pictures, it was actually dirty during my stay. I was looking forward to relaxing by the poolside, but the unclean water made it an unappealing option. Furthermore, the location of the hotel was a significant drawback. It was far from most of the popular attractions and amenities, making it inconvenient and time-consuming to travel to places of interest. I found myself spending more time commuting than enjoying the destination itself. On the culinary front, while there was a restaurant called ”China First,” the food was indeed excellent. However, I can't overlook the fact that it was expensive, and overall, the hotel felt overpriced for the amenities and services provided.
