Find 5-Star Hotels in Sanya

"Coming to Sanya for vacation, choosing MGM was absolutely the right decision! The hotel ambiance is perfect for photos; the coconut trees in the tropical garden and the loungers by the pool make every daytime shot feel like a glamorous vacation spread – I couldn't stop taking pictures. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was super soft. Sleeping to the sound of the sea breeze at night was heavenly, and the wet/dry separation in the bathroom was a thoughtful touch. It was so convenient to stroll on the beach in the evening. The sunset glow on the sea was absolutely stunning, and you could even catch the hotel's beach party, which had an amazing atmosphere. The breakfast spread in the morning was incredibly diverse, with freshly made coffee and juice that tasted great. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always ready to help, making for a perfect experience! It's definitely on my must-stay list for Sanya; I'll be back next time!"

"I stayed at Atlantis The Palm over ten years ago and was truly amazed by its grandeur. So, I had high expectations for the one in Haitang Bay. This hotel is a comprehensive resort where you can find everything you need for dining, entertainment, and activities. It's especially great for families with kids. If you love water activities, I recommend staying for three consecutive days. **Environment:** The beach isn't as good as Yalong Bay, and it definitely can't compare to The Palm. But if you're not planning on going to the beach, it's not a big deal. There were tons of activities during the National Day holiday. The Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium are both fantastic, and you can enter multiple times daily with facial recognition, which is super convenient. The room was spacious, stylish, and comfortable, with a partial sea view. We experienced a typhoon during our stay, and it was interesting to watch the sea slowly change from murky yellow back to blue. However, there was too much trash on the beach. **Facilities:** The air conditioning wasn't very strong, not as powerful as InterContinental, and couldn't reach the set temperature. I only got a good night's sleep after switching to a thinner duvet. Also, since this is a water-themed hotel, we sometimes changed swimsuits three times a day. It would be great if there were more swimsuit spin dryers. The toiletries are Ahava, Israel's number one brand, which felt very familiar since I've visited Ahava in Israel. **Breakfast:** There are two breakfast restaurants, Saffron and Kaleidoscopic. The variety is abundant, with many Hainan specialties. Today, I even saw a coffee latte art machine, though the staff seemed to be still learning how to use it. The hotel also has many other restaurants, offering options for lunch and dinner to suit all budgets. **Pools:** There are two outdoor pools. The family pool is open until 10 PM, but the bottom had too much debris, which hurt my feet. The Royal Pool, which is also the infinity pool, closed at 7:30 PM. It's a great spot for photos. **Service:** The butler service was incredibly convenient. Upon arrival, we received a series of tips, and any issues could be directly communicated to Coral, who responded quickly. For example, she helped with checking the air conditioning and replacing the duvet."

"It's the off-season in Sanya, and after browsing online for half a day, I decided on the Yingbin Hotel. I heard it's a great hotel overshadowed by its name, haha, but it's actually a five-star hotel! 🏝 Surroundings: The hotel is located at No. 14 Longhai Road, Yalong Bay National Tourism Resort, Jiyang District. The location is truly excellent! However, to be fair, the hotel doesn't have its own private beach. You need to walk about 3 minutes to Yalong Bay beach, where the sand is as fine as flour – much better than Sanya Bay. It's also super close to Baihua Valley Commercial Street, so if you want a late-night snack or to do some shopping, you can just stroll over without needing a taxi. But be warned, things there are quite expensive, about 5-20 yuan more than normal prices. I'd recommend checking out the night market in Bo She Village instead; the prices there are very reasonable! It's fantastic! 🌳 Environment: 1. The underwater restaurant is incredibly photogenic! The Ocean Blue Restaurant is definitely the most worthwhile place to visit in the hotel. In the huge glass wall on the first basement floor, over 4,000 tropical fish swim around. During breakfast, you can watch manta rays glide by. The best part is the great value for money; the dinner buffet is only a little over 200 yuan per person, and you don't pay extra for a good seat by the glass. Just make a reservation in advance with the front desk. I only waited 10 minutes to get a spot. 2. The swimming pool is also excellent! The 3000-square-meter Dreamy Pool changes colors at night, which is super magical. Next to it, there's a 9-meter-tall pirate ship water play area. My child spent all day there and didn't want to leave. The indoor kids' club is also big enough, with a bouncy castle, bumper cars, and an electronic aquarium. You can drop your child off there, and they'll play happily for two hours, giving parents a much-needed break. 🏠 Room Facilities: I originally booked a twin room, but Ms. Panpan from the Guest Services Department, my butler, upgraded us to a deluxe twin room for free, which I'm very grateful for. The room is on the 8th floor, and you can see Yalong Bay and the hotel's swimming pool from outside. It's incredibly picturesque with a fantastic view. Thank you so much! The room is also very spacious and has a balcony, where you can enjoy a drink while looking down at the swimming pool – it's so relaxing! The only downside is that the hotel doesn't have its own private beach, but it's very close to Yalong Bay beach. There's also a night market nearby. However, with the current lower prices, the overall value for money is still quite high. If you're coming for a visit, I highly recommend booking this hotel!"

"I recently stayed at this amazing hotel and had a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. The ambiance was elegant, and my room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and equipped with all the modern amenities I needed. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with any requests. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, which offered a variety of delicious options to start my day. The location was also perfect, with easy access to local attractions and transport. The hotel facilities and pool, were top-notch. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort and quality service. I can't wait to return!"

"This is our second stay at Yintai Hotel. We had such a great experience last year! This time, we brought our child, and the front desk kindly upgraded us to a sea-view family room. Our little one was absolutely thrilled and declared they want to stay here again next time! On our last day, they even called to offer a complimentary late check-out and sent up a fruit platter. Our room was spotlessly clean every day. Both the front desk staff and the service personnel were incredibly warm and helpful, providing truly attentive service. Despite the typhoon, which meant many other hotel pools weren't open, Yintai's pools were available for swimming. They have three pools, complete with swim rings and paddleboards, keeping us entertained until late every evening. The surrounding area is great too, with easy access to dining options and just a short ride to the beach. We truly love this hotel and plan to stay here again next year. Hopefully, we'll get another room upgrade – our child was especially happy to have their own bed!"

"We're frequent guests at Sheraton, and honestly, even though the rooms are a bit dated, the overall environment is still quite good. It's better than family-friendly hotels because there aren't as many children; it's mostly adults, so it's quieter and less chaotic. The two large breakfast restaurants are excellent; they help distribute guests, so you don't have to wait for a table, which is very comfortable and pleasant. If you're staying in a suite, the bathtub on the terrace is really nice. My only suggestion is that the single beds are too hard, and I hope the hotel can soften them up, especially since kids might be using them. The beach dinner experience was also fantastic!"

"It's been two days since we got back from Sanya, and my whole family is still raving about our stay at the Grand Hyatt Sanya Haitang Bay Resort and Spa. Traveling with seniors and children, my biggest fear was inconvenience and discomfort, but the Grand Hyatt, with its incredibly friendly atmosphere and thoughtful service, gave us a perfect vacation that exceeded all our expectations! The two 'Forest Fun Rooms' we booked were absolutely fantastic! As soon as we walked in, our child cheered and rushed to the little tent. The room decor wasn't an exaggerated cartoon style, but rather created a natural, cozy forest ambiance using elements like solid wood and green leaves, which even the adults found very comfortable. There were also exclusive children's bathrobes, slippers, toothbrushes, and even a step stool, completely freeing up parents' hands from having to pack a bunch of extra items. The balcony had a great view of the lush greenery in the resort, and waking up to the sound of birds chirping put us in a wonderfully relaxed mood. The in-room washing machine and drying rack were absolute lifesavers for a beach vacation! Every day, after swimming, we could wash and dry our clothes directly, so they were ready to wear the next day – so convenient. The hotel is like a giant tropical botanical garden, with incredibly high green coverage. Even at the hottest time of day, walking along the shaded paths, you don't feel the sun at all. Activity areas like the swimming pools, kids' club, and petting zoo all have shade or cover, so babies can play to their hearts' content without worrying about sunburn. During our stay, our days were packed with activities. We participated in the Li ethnic bonfire party and the pet park, and our child had an absolute blast. The hotel's private beach has fine sand and a gentle slope, making it perfect for children to dig and play in the waves. What made this trip truly warm and thoughtful was meeting our exclusive butler, Xixi. One day before check-in, Xixi proactively contacted us to confirm our itinerary and needs, and thoughtfully informed us about the weather and important considerations. Upon arrival at the hotel, Xixi actively helped us with a quick check-in process and detailed the hotel's facilities and activities via WeChat, saving us a lot of time. Throughout our stay, whenever we messaged Xixi on WeChat, she always responded instantly and helped us solve problems as quickly as possible. That reassuring feeling of 'just tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it all' instantly made any anxiety about traveling with a child disappear. The most, most, most commendable thing is that knowing we had seniors and a child with us, she even arranged for us to dine at the nearest VIP restaurant. The breakfast spread was amazing! After eating, the kids could even watch [redacted] and play with building blocks on the second floor! Xixi also specially presented our child with a small souvenir when we checked out. These small gestures made us feel like we weren't just staying at a hotel, but rather visiting a thoughtful friend."

"The room was clean and tidy, and the balcony offered a great sea view. The housekeeping staff were also very friendly and helpful. Breakfast hours are super flexible, from 7 AM to 12 PM, so you can really sleep in and still catch it. The downstairs swimming pool and gym are free to use, too. And the best part? I thought the room price was really fantastic! There's some construction going on nearby for an underwater tunnel, which can be a bit noisy, but once you close the windows and doors, it's pretty well soundproofed. There's also a free kids' play area that my child absolutely loved. All in all, I was very satisfied with my stay."

"This is an absolutely fantastic family-friendly hotel! It shares facilities and activities with the Hualuxe next door, so there's a packed schedule of holiday activities. Even though we encountered a typhoon, we were never bored. The kids had an absolute blast, and all the staff were incredibly kind and friendly – it's truly geared towards families. Our butler, Xia Zhi, provided very attentive service, accommodating all our requests from room arrangements and children's amenities to activity bookings. The rooms come with a fridge and an induction cooktop, and there's a shared laundry room. It's about a 5-minute walk from the Hualuxe lobby to the beach, where the hotel has its own dedicated loungers. With mountains, sea, and a lake nearby, it would be lovely to stay for an extended period."

"Let me preface this by saying, I only give good reviews when I genuinely mean it. 1. **Location is amazing.** There's a dedicated passage, and after crossing a road from the building, you're at the duty-free shop. The duty-free shop has plenty of food and drinks, and it's not too crowded. The staff are very down-to-earth and generous with samples. Prices require comparison, but generally, if you buy a lot, there's a price advantage. 2. **The hotel is very green and perfect for travel photography.** It boasts coconut groves, lawns, an infinity pool, kayak waterways, and you can even rent white horses by the sea – white horses, mind you! 3. **The hotel's spa offers great deals on Dianping (a Chinese review app)**, so we went twice. Once for the signature classic with a Thai therapist, and another time for a full-body essential oil massage and scrub. That scrub was incredibly detailed, much better than anything I've had in Beijing. 4. **The hotel's Chinese-themed restaurant is super delicious.** I even ate every last bit of the morels in the stone pot Wenchang chicken. The coconut jelly – we first tried this at the 10th-floor afternoon tea and it was amazing, so we ordered it twice more via their mini-program. It has a coconut milk jelly on top and a clear coconut jelly underneath – highly recommended. The in-room dining portions are generous, and the beef noodles are a top recommendation. At the entrance to the lobby on the first floor, there's an ice cream and coffee counter. They have many types of popsicles; we bought one every time we passed by. The mint chocolate ice cream is the best, and you absolutely must try the various fruit-flavored popsicles; they're intensely flavorful. The coffee is also good. For breakfast, the noodle soup is recommended, but the fruit selection is average. The 'Qingliangbu' (a refreshing dessert) is DIY; I always make mine with coconut jelly and grass jelly – it's absolutely divine. 5. **Room service is unobtrusive but attentive.** On the first day, we left a small note for the attendant, and for the following days, our room was tidied exactly to our habits. The cleaning was impeccable, and amenities were replenished promptly. Every staff member we encountered in the hotel actively greeted us. 6. **Our butler, Swing, even sent an extra fruit platter during our stay.** We couldn't finish it all, there was so much! The butler never deliberately disturbed guests but was always responsive to our requests and replied quickly. The day before our departure, she even proactively offered to book a shuttle for us, though our timing didn't work out. In short, it was exactly the kind of undisturbed yet continuously attentive and cared-for vacation we love. 7. **The hotel's complimentary kayaks were so much fun!** We played once and felt it wasn't enough, and the staff said we could exchange bikes for another session, so we went twice. It was super enjoyable! You absolutely have to try this; highly recommended. The claw machine's claw is very strong; I won two prizes on my first try, so give it a go. 8. **Near the hotel, there's a restaurant called 'Yi Miao Da Chu' (Chef One Cat).** The seafood is incredibly fresh, the service is good, they offer pick-up and drop-off, and the prices are very affordable. Recommended."
