Hotels near The First Market, Sanya

Stayed for two nights. First, I want to commend Kaylee, our butler. Her service was excellent, very proactive, and responsive. The concierge service was great. They were there to open the door and help with luggage as soon as we parked. We were offered welcome leis, but they weren't available when we got out of the car. The lobby didn't have air conditioning and was a bit warm, but it was well-ventilated. Check-in was quite fast, and they provided detailed information. The elevator had AC and was very cool, and our luggage was delivered to the room quickly. The hallway to the room was too long and outdoors, making it quite hot. However, it looked beautiful once the sun set. The family room had one king-size bed and one single bed. The mattresses were good, no backaches. The AC worked well and kept the room cool. The shower had great water pressure and consistent temperature. Bottled water was replenished promptly and generously. Room 833 offered a partial sea view and a partial view of the duty-free shop and a new hotel that's still under construction. It wasn't noisy, and the duty-free shop lights looked lovely at night. The only **bug** was the bathtub on the balcony, which made it impossible to take a bath. The room had no musty smell and didn't feel old. There was a huge table, convenient for dining. We received welcome fruits upon check-in, and the passionfruit was absolutely delicious. A complimentary minibar was provided, with drinks and snacks. The family pool was a bit basic, without a water playground, but it had free floats and basketballs. There were plenty of lifeguards who helped inflate the floats. There was a shuttle bus to the beach, and the driver was very friendly and chatty. The beach had lounge chairs, and the sand crab catching activity was excellent and engaging. There wasn't much hawking on the beach, which contributed to a great vacation vibe. Free sand-digging tools were available at the beach. The kids' club was next to the B1 breakfast restaurant, with activities suitable for younger children. Tree climbing was a lot of fun and came with small prizes. The bubble activities were a hit with all the kids. You could reach the duty-free shop by crossing the road through a small gate, which closed at 10 PM. We weren't bitten by mosquitoes at all during our stay, which indicates good pest control – a definite plus. Breakfast was a bit simple; the variety could be improved. We didn't have to wait for a table even when arriving after 10 AM, and the food was replenished promptly. The Xinglong coffee was good. Eating outdoors was slightly warm but offered views of fish and snorkeling. The hotel's Chinese restaurant was delicious, delicious, delicious! The hotpot at the Western restaurant was decent, and the ambiance was good. There were plenty of takeout options nearby, but you had to pick them up from the takeout cabinet yourself. The 'Qingbuliang' (Hainanese dessert soup) from room service was good. It's a shame we didn't go snorkeling. We'll have to come back next time.

The room was great, very satisfied! If you need a swimming tube, you'll need to bring your own, but the hotel will inflate it for you. The housekeeping service was excellent, very prompt with cleaning, and they brought complimentary Qingbuliang (a local dessert) every day. There's also an electric shuttle to take you around, and the beach is very quiet with hardly anyone there, so it's perfect if you like peace and quiet. The breakfast, however, was quite average.

Amazing hotel! We booked a club room on the 43rd floor, and the view was absolutely stunning. 😍 The hotel has Russian-speaking staff; we had Ariel, who was an excellent helper and advisor throughout our entire stay. We are so grateful to her! ❤️ Ariel provided us with a schedule of all the activities at the hotel, including their locations, and advised us on what to prioritize and what to save for another day. 👍 The stay included tickets to the waterpark and aquarium (the beluga whale and mermaid show) for the entire duration of our visit, plus two tickets to the evening C-show, which we unfortunately missed. There's also a buffet lunch and dinner, which was more than enough. In the morning after breakfast, the kids checked out the play area and were amazed – it's Octonauts-themed and really cool. The grounds are beautiful, with great pools and a lovely beach. Our vacation was amazing, we're very thankful and will definitely be back.

Extremely satisfied with my Sanya trip experience! I've been to Sanya probably over 10 times, and this was my first time staying at a hotel not by the sea. It felt quite different. Overall rating: Worth staying. I'd give it 4.5 stars or more. 1) My favorite part was the heaven cliff pool – the view is unbeatable. Swimming here is simply one of life's greatest pleasures. 2) The hotel's buggy service was incredibly responsive, and the staff's attitude was excellent. 3) During the off-peak season, there weren't many guests, but the breakfast maintained a good standard and wasn't skimped on. 4) The Thai restaurant boasts charming views. Although the prices are a bit on the high side, the mesmerizing scenery and live music make it well worth it. 5) The complimentary tropical rainforest park tour offered by the hotel exceeded my expectations. The guide was enthusiastic and helped with photos. 6) The only thing is that since the hotel is located in a tropical rainforest, insects and geckos are inevitable. I even saw a small snake on the balcony. So, it's crucial to keep doors and windows closed at all times and bring your own mosquito repellent. 7) It's been open for a while, and some rooms are currently undergoing maintenance. Overall, it's well-maintained.

The room was okay, but it's an old hotel, so there was a musty smell. The outdoor pool was a definite plus, really good! Check-in at the front desk was a bit slow; too much paperwork. Breakfast was great and plentiful, definitely a highlight! If you're staying at the hotel, lunch and dinner can be a bit pricey, and takeout is expensive too, but what can you do? When you're on vacation, you shouldn't worry too much about your wallet!

Sanya Family Trip | JW Marriott Dadonghai Review – So thoughtful it made me cry! 😭 We took a taxi from the Hilton to the Greentown Sanya Dadonghai JW Marriott. Check-in was smooth at 4 PM. We booked the 'Stargaze Babies' room, and for families with two kids, it's an absolute no-brainer! 🥳 The layout truly understands parents traveling with children! One king bed + one bunk bed. The room isn't huge, but it's fully equipped with everything you need. Kids' amenities and thoughtful details are all in place, making for a very comfortable stay. In the evening, we discovered a new activity – we went to the pool at the adjacent Autograph Collection hotel. The evening breeze combined with the sound of the waves created such a wonderful ambiance. It was super photogenic! 📸 We listened to the waves, watched the live performance, and observed the kids playing in the water – it truly felt like a perfect vacation. I have to specially praise the incredibly thoughtful and amazing service at JW Marriott!! Our flight was scheduled for the evening of the second day. We originally requested a late check-out until 3 PM. At noon, the hotel proactively contacted us. Because there were guests checking in later, they thoughtfully asked if we'd be open to switching to a standard room type. They then extended our check-out to 5 PM for free! 😭 This was truly so considerate! It didn't inconvenience the next guests, and it gave us ample time to rest, shower the kids, and get ready. Staying during the off-season really brought so many pleasant surprises! In the afternoon, the kids were full of energy again. They had a blast playing in the Marriott pool until 4 PM. Water volleyball was their favorite, and they absolutely didn't want to leave. By 5 PM, we were packed and ready, concluding our trip perfectly as we took a taxi to the airport ✈️. The entire experience was seamless, and Marriott's service really won us over. For families with two kids visiting Sanya, this Dadonghai location is definitely worth it! #SanyaFamilyTrip

Due to noise issues in our previous lake-view family room, we reported it to Gina, who then moved us to a family room in the main building. Overall, this room had lower ceilings and older facilities than the previous one, but it was more spacious. The best part was how quiet it was; after 10 PM, there was virtually no noise outside, which was great for light sleepers. I really appreciate Gina from Guest Services for her attention to detail; she even prepared a small cake for the child, who was thrilled. The hotel pool's bubble activity is every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 PM. My child had so much fun they completely forgot themselves, but then developed a fever that evening. When I asked the hotel for an ear thermometer, they replied that they only had mercury thermometers. How could an A+ parent-child hotel not have an ear thermometer? While an ear thermometer might not be as accurate as a mercury one, it's difficult to use a mercury thermometer with very young children who might not cooperate. Of course, we usually bring our own ear thermometer when we travel, but there are always unexpected situations, like forgetting it this time. Service: Most of the restaurant staff, cleaning ladies in public areas, and bellhops at the entrance actively greeted us, and they were all very good. Getting Around: There's a night market within walking distance of the hotel. The beach is just a left turn out of the hotel and across the road. The hotel can arrange a car to Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park, which was a filming location for 'If You Are the One 2' – just ask the Golden Key concierge in the lobby. For other places, you generally need to take a taxi. For example, if you want to go to West Island, it's at least a 45-minute taxi ride. If you're staying for three days or less, I honestly recommend just staying at the hotel. Don't venture out too much, or you'll lose the meaning of a vacation and get too tired. Issues encountered in the room: 1. The most memorable thing was that my child's white socks turned black very quickly after walking on the floor. It seemed the room floor wasn't mopped daily, as I also saw hair near the dining table that hadn't been cleaned up. However, the housekeeping staff were quite considerate; they noticed we needed more water and directly provided 8 bottles. Linens and room consumables were fully replenished after previous guests checked out. But when our extended stay room was cleaned the next day, they took away the child's bathrobe and didn't replace it, nor did they replenish consumables. I had to call later that night to request them. Overall, it was easy to tell that different people were cleaning on different days. 2. There were also some hardware issues, such as the curtain and screen window switches being reversed. The lighting modes were quite unintuitive; for example, there was no night light mode or a mode to only turn on the lights above the bedside table. The shower drain worked better than in the previous room, flowing smoothly without overflowing. However, the hot water in the shower took too long to come out – definitely over ten seconds – so long that I thought hot water wasn't coming out at all. 3. For dining, we only experienced breakfast and the buffet dinner. My child particularly enjoyed the fruit at the buffet dinner and the mermaid show. The food quality overall wasn't particularly outstanding; it was just enough to fill you up, with no dishes leaving a special impression. The photo is of breakfast. Long after checking out, I realized I had left some items, but I didn't receive any call or feedback from the hotel. Although if they had called, I probably would have said to discard them, I wonder if the current hotel process for lost and found items is to wait for guests to call and inquire, otherwise, they assume it's not wanted and dispose of it? We experienced the afternoon tea and travel photography included in the package. We didn't go to the DIY activity.

Although I only stayed for two nights at the Sanya Yalong Bay Mangrove Tree Resort, it was enough time to fully immerse myself in the serene blue. My balcony faced the ocean directly, allowing me to watch the sunrise paint the sea red in the mornings and listen to the sound of waves lull me to sleep at night. Just a two-minute walk downstairs and my feet were in the soft sand—this seamless access to the ocean was incredibly therapeutic. I especially want to commend our butler, Coral. One evening, she quietly delivered a beautiful fruit platter, showing thoughtful attention to detail. The hotel's family activities were abundant, and two nights was the perfect amount of time to enjoy everything without feeling rushed or tired. At checkout, Coral kindly extended our checkout time. Even though our stay was short, we felt thoroughly looked after.

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!
