Spa Hotels in Sanya

"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."

"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!"

"I chose the Crowne Plaza Sanya City Center for my trip to Sanya, and my overall stay exceeded expectations. The hotel's location is very convenient, situated in the city center. It's a short taxi ride to Dadonghai and the First Market, and there are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby, making sightseeing and getting around hassle-free. The hotel grounds are beautiful, with lots of tropical greenery, and the sky pool offers stunning views. It was very pleasant to relax with a swim during my free time. The room was spacious, with a scenic balcony, and the cleaning was meticulous. The bedding was soft, and the soundproofing was good, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The front desk staff were efficient with check-in and were polite and friendly. They responded promptly to any requests. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, including a gym and a children's play area, making it suitable for both couples and families. As an InterContinental Hotels Group brand, the service is standardized, and the value for money is excellent. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Sanya and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city."

"The resort is huge, and the garden scenery is also quite good. The room facilities are indeed a bit old, as many online reviews mentioned, but at least they are clean. The public areas, however, are excellent. You can step right out onto the beach and swim in the sea. The hotel also has several pools, but I still prefer the refreshing feeling of being tossed by the waves in the ocean. We had the hotel's dinner buffet, which was decent. Since it was off-season, there weren't many people. The dining area is right by the sea, and the ambiance is quite nice. However, the live musicians were foreigners and kept singing English songs, even though most of the guests there were Chinese. Overall, it's still worth another visit and highly suitable for people who don't have the energy to explore many sights and just want to relax at the hotel and have all their needs met in one place."

"We did our research and chose this place for our couples' getaway. We went in with a peaceful mindset to experience Ban Shan Ban Dao, and it met and even exceeded our expectations. The shuttle service was excellent, and all the staff we encountered while walking around the hotel or going out were friendly and smiled, which was very pleasant and gave a lovely feeling of human connection. The breakfast was also fantastic with a wide variety, and the fruits were fresher overall compared to other places I've stayed. We also booked the Executive Lounge this time, and it met expectations. The two days we arrived were rainy and stormy due to a typhoon, which allowed us to slow down and enjoy the lounge – having some breakfast during the day, afternoon tea, and cocktails in the evening 🍹. It was a very comfortable holiday experience. The butler service was also very attentive; our butler Jenny was responsive and polite, contacting us the day before check-in and keeping an eye on our arrival status. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay, and I would recommend it to friends and family. Oh, and the hotel rooms, Executive Lounge, and all the public areas of the hotel are also very photogenic!"

"The room was clean and tidy, and the sea view was absolutely stunning. The pool water was crystal clear and it stayed open for a long time. The hotel buffet offered a great variety of delicious food. I especially want to commend our butler, Mia! She was incredibly attentive right from check-in, escorting us to our room. Whatever we needed, I'd send a message on WeChat and Mia would reply and resolve it immediately. She was so kind and friendly! We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back!"

"This was a great value stay in the off-season of September. The room was super spacious, around 70 square meters, and very close to the sea. Dining options nearby were also convenient. I was initially worried the older hotel might be damp, but with both AC units running, it was perfectly dry and comfortable. The butler was also very attentive, and service response was incredibly fast!"
