Sanya Beach Hotels

Having experienced the InterContinental Sanya Haitang Bay, and considering our itinerary, I decided to try the InterContinental Sanya Haitang Bay. The day before our check-in, Kaylee from guest relations proactively contacted me to confirm the details and made thoughtful arrangements for us. 👍 On the day of our check-in, it was pouring rain in Haitang Bay. We were stuck with our luggage in the duty-free shop, watching the rain show no signs of stopping. I contacted Kaylee to ask if the hotel could send someone to pick us up. Kaylee informed me that the hotel didn't have vehicles that could go to the duty-free shop. However, the hotel staff later sent umbrellas for us, helped us move our luggage to the hotel's side entrance, and then the hotel shuttle took us to the lobby. 👍 The hotel lobby is much larger than the InterContinental Sanya Dadonghai, and the overall scale feels comparable to the Westin Wanning/Lingshui. The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. The fruit was delicious, and the room was equipped with Baishui Mountain mineral water, with Pure Enjoyment still water for refills. During our stay, whenever I contacted Kaylee, she responded immediately and acted quickly, even when she was off duty, which was impressive! So nice! 👍 Before coming, I learned that the hotel has a large fish tank with many fish, including sea turtles and manta rays. So, I took my child to the viewing tunnel on B2. My child was deeply fascinated by the fish, especially when they saw a giant grouper. My child blurted out, ”Look, fish 2.0!” I was puzzled, and my child explained it was like ”oil tanker 2.0,” with a bunch of smaller fish (like planes) following it. 🤭 We also saw a mermaid show. However, due to the distance of the performance area and limited visibility at the bottom of the tank, we could only see silhouettes. Fortunately, there were pictures of the mermaid show on the tunnel wall, which allowed me to explain it to my child in detail. The entire tunnel wall was covered with科普资料 (scientific information) about various fish, allowing for both viewing and learning. 👍 The tunnel also had multiple observation windows, so you could find your best viewing angle. 👍 The hotel boasts a vast lawn. Looking out, the skyline, the ocean, the greenery, and the lawn were truly refreshing. 👍 The waves in Haitang Bay are indeed strong and powerful, far exceeding those in Wanning and Lingshui. The beach quality is much better than Yalong Bay. We even encountered crabs during the day. 🤗 The breakfast restaurant was spacious, with ample seating. Even during peak hours, we didn't see guests waiting in line. The breakfast spread was rich, and they even offered specialty Xinglong coffee. The lobby staff were enthusiastic and all smiles. Seeing us with our luggage, they proactively helped us move it. 👍 Big kudos again to Kaylee from guest relations! 👍 And kudos to the hotel for its excellent service! 👍

The hotel was quiet and uncrowded, giving off a perfect vacation vibe. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service was very responsive to all our needs. The breakfast also had an à la carte menu, which was exquisite and delicious. I accidentally left a piece of clothing when I checked out, and the hotel proactively contacted me and even helped mail it to my home. I'm very grateful for that!

Highly recommend this ocean-view room! It's very spacious and clean. A special shout-out to our butler, Kobe, whose service was exceptional. He provided timely weather updates and hotel activity information every day, and was very detailed and prompt in his responses regarding hotel services. The hotel environment is also great, and the breakfast is definitely worth trying, with options not only within the main hotel but also at the poolside restaurant and other venues. Transportation to and from places like the sky restaurant is very convenient, with services provided within about 20 minutes for those who want to experience it. The afternoon tea at the Executive Lounge is also fantastic and perfect for relaxing. Even if you're traveling alone, you won't feel lost, as staff are always available to assist. It's also quite close to the beach. Next to the hotel is 68 Food Street, which has plenty of dining options, and the hotel is also very close to the duty-free shop. Overall, it's a great place for a vacation, perfect for solo travelers or families with children. I heard they offer a complimentary bubble bath, which I unfortunately didn't get to experience, but I'll definitely be back next time if I get the chance.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! We had booked a panoramic sea view room online, but due to a system error, our reservation couldn't be found at check-in, and the room type we booked was fully occupied. The front desk staff handled the situation brilliantly, reconfirming our reservation in less than ten minutes and even upgrading us for free to an even higher-tier panoramic sea view suite. As soon as we entered the room, they promptly brought up a bed rail and bottle sterilizer for our child. Kid's toiletries were replenished daily, which was super convenient. The room itself was spacious, and the views were simply breathtaking. The only minor drawback is that the decor feels a bit dated by today's standards. The hotel restaurant offers an amazing view overlooking the lawn and the ocean, making breakfast incredibly pleasant. The hotel activities were also quite engaging. The sea was so blue, and the waves were so white. We definitely hope to visit again!

The hotel exceeded our expectations! There were so many activities, perfect for families with kids. Our butler, Xigua, provided exceptional service, even bringing us fruit and a souvenir. Throughout our stay, the service was top-notch; they even helped with food deliveries. The scenery of Haitang Bay behind the hotel is stunning, and every staff member was incredibly friendly. The breakfast was delicious too! Butler Xigua was very thoughtful and provided excellent service.

For my Sanya trip, I chose to stay at the Yalong Bay Welcome Hotel, directly opposite Baihua Valley. First and foremost, I absolutely *must* commend our dedicated butler, Gina! Before our arrival, when discussing room preferences, I specifically requested a high-floor, non-smoking room in the West Wing with a lake view. Gina patiently reviewed my booking details and went above and beyond to accommodate all my requests, communicating every step of the way with thoughtful precision. Throughout our stay, she was incredibly responsive to all our needs, big or small: when we needed an office chair, she arranged for one to be delivered immediately; when there was a drainage issue in the bathroom, she promptly arranged for maintenance; and when the pillows weren't comfortable, she quickly provided suitable buckwheat pillows. She meticulously followed up on daily housekeeping, linen changes, and even helped adjust our room type for an extended stay. Whenever an issue arose, Gina handled it with humility, proactively apologized, and resolved it promptly. Communication was seamless, and she never tried to deflect. From coordinating our room before check-in to handling various unexpected minor issues during our stay, she was on top of everything, always willing to help. Her professional and attentive service smoothed over many potential headaches. I am incredibly grateful for Gina's thoughtful assistance throughout our trip. Having such a responsible butler significantly enhanced our holiday experience. My husband even said he'd choose Yalong Bay Welcome Hotel again next time. Firstly, because the pool-view family suite is genuinely superb and spacious enough for a family of four (the only minor drawback was dim lighting for homework, but Gina quickly resolved this by sending a desk lamp). Secondly, because the butler is truly accommodating – on our last day, she even proactively offered a late check-out. I highly recommend asking for Gina if you stay at this hotel! Additionally, a shout-out to the hotel's shuttle service: it was quick to arrive, helped with luggage, and provided service via WeChat. The pool also hosts bubble parties every Tuesday and Thursday, which the kids absolutely loved. The number of lifeguards at the pool was impressive, with coverage at every corner and angle, and they were all incredibly responsible and attentive – even the waterslide had a dedicated lifeguard, which was very reassuring! Finally, I have to praise the supermarket located to the right of the hotel lobby. It completely shattered my stereotype that hotel convenience stores are always overpriced. A fragrant coconut was only 10 yuan! Regular coconuts were just 5 yuan! And the fragrant coconuts were incredibly delicious, as were the green mangoes 😋. They even offered delivery to our room and by the pool – truly excellent value for money!

The environment is actually pretty good. As an older five-star hotel, the service isn't bad at all. I was traveling alone and just looking to relax, so I didn't have any special demands and booked a basic garden view room. The facilities are indeed quite old-fashioned, and its reputation for having a guesthouse-like vibe is well-deserved. However, staying here was actually alright. The sea in Yalong Bay is truly beautiful, and the Mangrove Tree Resort has a prime beachfront location. If you're looking for beautiful scenery and great photo opportunities, this place is worth it. But if you're looking to relax and prioritize bedding and comfort, you might want to reconsider. From my experience staying at various places on this trip, the Mangrove Tree Resort just doesn't cut it when it comes to comfort.

The hotel building is supposedly the newest wing of the old BAO Hotel across the street where those staying in the Shanghai Huating Boutique must go for breakfast. We waited 25 minutes to check as there was one desk agent serving one customer although after 2pm. The other staff agent appeared after 3pm. We were required to pay a refundable 500 RMB deposit and after checking into our room, God only knows what anyone would take from the room that was worth 500 RMB. Old not ironed bed linen, rusted garbage can, rusted balcony sink, old clean bathroom towel, old kitchen appliances which only the refrigerator was plugged in to work. The room condition (walls, floors, tiles, fixtures, etc) of the 8 years old hotel that opened in 2018 is far worse than it should be unless they used old materials to build. The option to PAY MORE for an “ocean view” is not worth it. After complaining that my room had a “pool view” AND I didn’t get the “ocean view” room I had PREPAID for, I was told I could change to another room that had an ocean view the NEXT DAY (because all of the 2 twin bedrooms with “ocean view” were already occupied for the day. But after I was shown the only room that had a view of the unsightly harbor/ocean which came with an old hard king size mattress and in worse condition than my 2 twin beds room, I decided not to move to another room BECAUSE after viewing the other available rooms where guests had checked out, there were none any better to justify packing up and moving to another old room. I contacted Trip.com, but because the cancellation period for THIS hotel expired the day before arrival, thus not allowing a chance to view the room before accepting the room at checkin. This is a red flag 🚩 as a hotel with pride & confidence in its products & service would allow the cancellation to extend to AT LEAST to 2-4pm on the planned checkin date especially at a famous beach resort (DaDongHai) during the 15 days long Chinese New Year’s holiday. So, no chance to change hotels UNLESS I was willing to forfeit $487.47. Also, I should mention the ants that appeared on the kitchenette counter EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO FOOD on the counter, only my coffee cup that I washed and left on the counter to dry. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT MY STAY AT THIS “DESPERATELY NEED OF A PROPER RENOVATION” HOTEL IS THE ONE MORNING FEMALE DESK AGENT THAT ASSISTED ME A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MORNING AND A HOUSEKEEPING LADY SO, I GAVE BOTH A GOOD LUCK RED ENVELOPE 🧧 AS IT WAS THE CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY. If I go back to Da Dong Hai, I will DEFINITELY LOOK for a better hotel for my usually desired 5-10 days Sun & Beach vacation.

First, the pros: The hotel is very close to the sea; you can walk out from the ground floor and be on the beach in a few dozen meters. Since it's at the very end, the beach is quite clean. The rooms are also clean, and the housekeeping staff are all very friendly. There's a pharmacy and a small convenience store right in the hotel lobby, which is quite convenient for buying medicine and other necessities. The concierge service was also excellent, actively helping with luggage upon arrival and departure. There's even a ** (food delivery) locker at the lobby entrance, which makes ordering takeout very convenient. Now, the cons: The front desk service was terrible. The room they initially assigned us could only be used for showering while standing in the bathtub. Since one of my companions had difficulty with their leg, I asked for a different room. The front desk staff immediately told me the hotel was fully booked and there were no other rooms available. I had no choice but to contact Ctrip, and they quickly arranged a room change for us. When checking out, I requested a late check-out because my child needed an afternoon nap. Again, the front desk told me the hotel was fully booked and we could only stay until 12:30 PM. However, before calling, I had already checked the booking page, and our room type was still available for sale that day, so it wasn't fully booked. Oh well, we checked out on time. Breakfast: The variety was extremely limited, and most of the options seemed more suitable for Russians. I stayed for three days, and as a woman with a small appetite, I never felt full. In the evening, there's also a self-service BBQ on the ground floor for 98 yuan per person. I wouldn't recommend making a special trip to Bohou Village Night Market; it's just a short road, a few dozen meters long, entirely filled with BBQ stalls. If you plan to book this hotel, I suggest getting a full sea-view room directly. The full sea-view rooms seem to have been renovated, and the facilities look newer. Also, a word of advice: do not book through **. I saw others who booked through **, and when issues arose, the hotel and ** just passed the buck, leaving the customer to suffer. This trip was long with many uncertainties, and I deeply experienced Ctrip's problem-solving capabilities. They truly are the king of the tourism industry; kudos to Ctrip! 👍

My stay at Wanda Vista Sanya Haitang Bay was absolutely perfect! The hotel's tropical gardens are serene and elegant, offering direct oceanfront views in a peaceful and relaxing environment. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, and very convenient for getting to the duty-free shop. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients. Ella was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and attentive, quickly resolving all my needs. Overall, the value for money is exceptional, and the vacation experience was outstanding. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Sanya!
