5-Star Hotels in Hainan, China

This hotel resort is huge and absolutely beautiful, with a swimming pool, hot springs, gym, and more. It's conveniently located near surfing 🏄, a coffee plantation, and a tropical botanical garden, making everything easily accessible. Highly recommended, definitely worth a second visit!

This hotel is located within the forest park scenic area, which is very convenient for sightseeing. They also offer a dedicated shuttle service. While dining out isn't very convenient, you can order takeout, and the front desk will arrange for a car to deliver it right to your room. We were traveling with seniors and children, and the hotel thoughtfully suggested that the Jijiandi room type had many steps. They proactively moved us to the Fenghuangtai, which has a spacious private pool. Each room type is situated in its own independent area on the mountain, requiring a ride to access. For our baby's birthday, the hotel decorated the bed and even provided a cake – a very thoughtful touch! We experienced a distinct musty smell near the headboard due to the rain that day, which is understandable. It's a completely different experience than staying by the sea and definitely worth trying!

The villa room type is excellent, highly recommended for a private vacation ⛱️. Our butler Lucy provided attentive service (¯▽¯)👍. I strongly recommend the infinity pool villa 🌴. It feels so close to the sky, and even if you can't swim, it's absolutely fine to just relax by the pool and sunbathe – a sunbathing enthusiast's dream! Breakfast in the villa area can be ordered à la carte; the abalone congee is fresh and delicious, and the Qingbuliang (coconut milk dessert) is authentic and tasty. The privacy and vacation vibe are both top-notch. The experience was truly great and worth a special trip. I'll definitely choose this place again when I come to Sanya next time!

We planned two days in Haitang Bay during our Sanya trip. Initially, we booked a hotel-style apartment near Atlantis Waterpark, which had high online ratings. However, as soon as we checked in, we were shocked by how old and outdated the facilities were. We negotiated with the hotel, paid a 30% cancellation fee, and checked out. Afterward, we rebooked at the Wanda Realm Resort, and both my daughter and I were pleasantly surprised: 1. The facilities were incredibly new, and the hotel lobby was grand. 2. The service was excellent. 3. The location was superb; the beach was just a short walk away. 4. The hotel had a full range of recreational facilities. The pool water was very clean, and there was a foam party in the afternoon. In the evening, there were plenty of activities, including a lawn movie and a bonfire party. My child had an absolutely fantastic time, and both of us felt it was incredibly worthwhile. The hotel also has a Hainan Li Village restaurant, which has a beautiful ambiance, reasonable prices, and, most importantly, delicious food! I highly recommend this hotel! It’s the best one I've stayed at in Sanya~

Overall, I'm very satisfied! A big thank you to our butler, Hellen, for the thoughtful service. She always responded to messages immediately, solved problems promptly, and was incredibly accommodating. I was a bit worried after reading some reviews, but after experiencing it myself, while the hotel's hardware might show some age given how long it's been open, the service was truly excellent and lives up to the brand's reputation! The experience was fantastic! The breakfast offered a wide variety of food and was very plentiful. I've never seen a hotel serve breakfast until 11:30 AM, which was perfect for us late risers. It made for a wonderfully relaxed day. Thank you! The hotel's parking lot was also spacious with plenty of spots, making it ideal for those traveling by car. We truly enjoyed a relaxing vacation, and I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Sanya.

It was a fantastic experience, thanks to our butler, Kaylee, for taking such great care of us. Since we were traveling during the off-season, Kaylee reached out a few days beforehand to understand our needs. Upon arrival, our room was ready immediately, and she even upgraded us to a one-bedroom suite, which was perfect as I could get some work done after our child went to sleep. The experience was truly excellent. Kaylee was incredibly responsive to all our requests and even brought us many delicious treats. We had ordered a lot of JD.com packages in advance, and after checking in, we contacted her and they were delivered to our room very quickly. Although the hotel has been around for a while, it's very clean. I even saw staff meticulously cleaning crevices in the outdoor public areas with small brushes – truly impressive attention to detail. The lobby is incredibly grand; it makes you say 'wow' as soon as you step out of the car. It's very family-friendly, with a children's section in the restaurant that our little one loved. The family pool has a shallow area, and there's even a bubble party in the evenings. The pool is well-stocked with plenty of swim rings, so you don't need to bring your own if you're not particular. As for dining, the underwater restaurant was fascinating, with large fish and turtles often swimming by. The hotel's Tianfu restaurant was absolutely delicious – hands down the best meal we had during our 5 days in Hainan! 😂

After looking at several hotels in Yalong Bay, I chose the Mangrove Tree Resort for its relatively good value for money. I had seen quite a few negative reviews on Xiaohongshu and other apps, but it seems every hotel has them, so I came prepared. As an older hotel, the room types and facilities are a bit dated, but I found it acceptable upon arrival. We arrived late, and the front desk upgraded our room. Overall, the experience was decent. There were plenty of loungers on the beach, and it was quite comfortable whether swimming in the sea or just relaxing in a chair and enjoying the view. Breakfast was unremarkable, despite seemingly having a wide variety. The Thai restaurant that's often recommended online isn't really worth it, but if you can't find anything else good, you might give it a try. The staff were very good and always tried their best to resolve any issues. Also, there are indeed a lot of Russians here. I especially loved the little elephant made from towels on the bed. 🥰

We had the perfect stay at this hotel! The staff members are very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a bigger room with a marina/ocean view at no extra cost. Thank you KK. Very clean and good water pressure in the shower. Hot water within 5-10 seconds. Western breakfast was delicious and had some variety everyday. The hotel also has a convenience store inside which we bought from a lot. Free laundry room was also very convenient. Only a 15-20 minute walk to the best beach in Sanya - Dadonghai Beach. Very nice area if you enjoy night life and good food! Communal pool is nice and big. There is also a gym, but we didn't use it. We had zero complaints and we will stay here again if we visit Sanya in the future.

From the moment we checked in, I knew we had made the right choice. The front desk staff thoughtfully explained the location of the children's playground and the restaurant layout within the resort, and reminded us of safety precautions for playing by the sea. The complimentary children's step stool, bed rail, and toiletries saved us a lot of hassle. The pool was a must-do activity every day. The children's pool is heated, and there was a bubble party at 3 PM. My child stayed in the water for almost an hour, chasing bubbles and not wanting to get out. The paddle boats were free, which was a huge plus. We rotated between the indoor children's playground and fun craft classes, and also took the free mini-train several times. Dinner was a buffet at the beachfront restaurant, and the performance was fantastic; the kids kept clapping. Overall, the family-friendly amenities at Sheraton Sanya Haitang Bay are really competitive for this price range. The facilities are abundant, activities are rich, and service is responsive. Our butler was very helpful during our stay, always accommodating our requests.

After reading many reviews, I chose this hotel, and my overall experience was excellent. The front desk staff, other employees, and the concierge were all warm, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive to every request. The hotel is clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, and the breakfast spread is rich. It's also convenient to order food delivery. The front desk gave me a high-floor room with a fantastic view; I could see the sea right from the window. On a clear day, I could even catch a stunning sunset from the balcony. Evening strolls by the sea were lovely, with the sea breeze and the sound of the waves being very therapeutic. For my vacation next year, I'll definitely be back to this hotel to relax by the sea.
