Boutique Hotels in Hainan, China

"Huge, practical rooms with outstanding service! THE ROOMS & AMENITIES The rooms are incredibly spacious. We loved the huge living room to chill in after a day out. The bedrooms are large, and the balcony is huge. It has great conveniences like a fridge and a washing machine. Note that activating the kitchen stove requires an extra fee. LOCATION & FACILITIES The back of the hotel connects to a nice seaside walk (no sand) and is a very convenient 10-minute walk to the 1st night market. The lobby doesn't look quite as nice as its sister property next door (the Vignette), but they share facilities. The Vignette block houses the kids' indoor playground and a fancier pool. However, our block has its own well-equipped gym, a 24-hour spa, and a pool. A FEW QUIRKS The spare room has a shower, but the toilet is located outside, so you have to exit the room to use it. Also, there are no bidets and no delivery robots. STANDOUT SERVICE The service is incredible and more than makes up for the quirks. The front desk and butlers were super responsive and friendly. I could even WeChat them late into the night. They quickly provided bed guards, cutlery, a second clothes drying rack, and extra hangers upon request."

"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."

"Pure white cave-style, gives off Santorini vibes ✨ Convenient location too, only a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport. Right in Tianya Town, step out and you're on the beach 🏖️ Close to Xidao Pier and Tianya Haijiao (Ends of the Earth). I booked the 'Floating Light - 220-degree Seaview Floating Bathtub Room' 🛁 The window faces the ocean, so you can see the crystal clear sea right from bed. Bathing in the balcony tub while watching the sunset is so relaxing, you won't want to move 🌅 The infinity pool is the highlight! It blends seamlessly with the ocean. Go in the morning for some shimmering, super therapeutic photos 📸 The rooftop terrace offers stunning sunset views too, perfect for silhouette shots in a dress. The town is full of snacks and coffee shops. Enjoy a bowl of Qingbuliang every day and unlimited seafood 🦞 Stay 2 nights in a seaview room and get a free pick-up/drop-off (choose one) and afternoon tea ~"

"This 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!"

"Extremely satisfied! I thought I'd hear the high-speed train, but I didn't hear a thing – truly excellent [chuckle]. The service was also prompt and thoughtful. The room was very clean and even had a dehumidifier, so it wasn't humid at all. The customer service even upgraded our room type. I'll definitely book this hotel again next time I visit [happy face]. The hotel is also very close to the beach, so you can be among the first to collect seashells and get a great haul. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to put a map of the resort area and nearby attractions in the room, so first-time guests know where to go. I spent ages looking for the Lawson convenience store on my first day here [facepalm]."

"The scenery is excellent. I can faintly see crabs climbing on the reef from the pool. I really want to go down and touch the crabs, but the front desk said that I can't go down. We arrived at the hotel after the reservation. We didn't know that there was a shuttle bus. It was very timely. The luggage could be delivered to each room. The front desk and the brother who sent the luggage were very enthusiastic. They also upgraded. I met the manager and sent us some snacks. , Clearly, it is not sold on time! Send directly! In fact, it is not very timely, there is 3/4 months! I have never seen such a bright boss, the atmosphere has a pattern! ! I also sent us sunscreen, saying that I can't wipe my face for fear that we are allergic, and it expires in March next year, let us wipe our body! The experience is very good, the facilities are not new, but the service is the most satisfying one in the hotel I have ever stayed in! recommend"

"Everything went smoothly, from parking upon arrival to check-out. The bellhop proactively assisted with luggage. The room was cleaned promptly every day, and amenities were quickly replenished. The soundproofing at night was decent, so we weren't disturbed. The staff were polite and genuine, not stiff. Overall, I'm very satisfied."
