Hot Springs Hotels in Hainan, China

Hainan's second stop was Qixianling, and Junlan Hotel seemed to be the most well-known in the area. It certainly didn't disappoint. The rooms are spread across small villas, with four separate units (up, down, left, right) in each, offering great privacy. Outside the window is a dense rainforest, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Each unit has its own private hot spring pool and a small balcony. The rooms are spacious, perfect for kids to run around. Unlike Atlantis, which is all about excitement, this place offers a different kind of relaxed retreat. The rooms are definitely a bit dated, but they have everything you need, and the cleaning staff is very meticulous. The restaurant food is delicious, with some specialty dishes that are a must-try! The hotel has various hot spring pools and swimming pools. If you have enough time, try them all out; they're open quite late. I want to especially commend the hotel's entire service system. From the greeters to the lobby, the restaurant, the shuttle drivers, and the pool security – everyone was incredibly warm and polite. Since the hotel is quite large, and the accommodations are spread out and deep within the rainforest, shuttle services are available throughout the hotel. You can book ahead or simply flag one down. This was a lifesaver for me, traveling with a child. I could explore freely on foot or easily catch a ride without my child complaining about walking too much. Finally, a few tips for future guests considering Junlan: don't bother bringing big and small bottles of mosquito repellent; the hotel provides it for free (though even drenched in repellent, mosquitoes won't spare any new guest! It's a special 'gift' from the tropical rainforest!). If you plan to hike in the National Forest Park from the hotel, getting a taxi might be difficult. The hotel front desk can arrange for a scenic shuttle to pick you up for 20 yuan per person, which I think is well worth it. While there are public buses outside, I couldn't figure them out and didn't want to walk to the bus stop. When traveling with a child, it's best to minimize hassle. If something can be taken care of for 20 yuan, don't try to save that little bit!

The facilities are decent, but I'm deducting points for two things. First, as shown in picture 1, a staff member told me I needed a swimming cap after I got into the pool, which I completely understand. I immediately left the main pool and played with my child in the kiddie pool. However, half an hour later, a group of people arrived, and two men among them were happily playing in the pool without swimming caps. The staff member was right there but didn't say anything. What's the deal? Double standards? Second, after checking out and about to get into my booked Didi, the front desk stopped me, saying my room payment had been mysteriously refunded and I needed to pay again. Although their attitude was good, why did it take three days, and they only noticed it when I was checking out? Luckily, my Didi driver was very nice and patiently waited a few minutes.

The room facilities are complete; although they look a bit dated, they are very well maintained and don't affect the user experience at all. The cleanliness is also excellent, with both public areas and rooms meeting five-star standards. The environment speaks for itself – it's a 2-minute walk to the coastline with soft, fine sand, and there are recreational activities available on the beach. While the sea color isn't as crystal clear as in Sanya, it doesn't detract from the beach experience. The service is also very attentive; whether it's check-in, the pool, or dining, the experience is great. Guests even get a butler who adds them on WeChat to provide service, always responsive to requests. Overall, I highly recommend staying here when in Haikou.

The DoubleTree by Hilton is great for family trips, so we booked a two-night stay in Lingshui this time. It was super convenient for ordering takeout. Charging our car at the hotel was also easy, and the price was reasonable. The breakfast buffet was really good too. Definitely worth staying here if you're in Lingshui. Special shout-out to our housekeeper, Summer, for her excellent service! 👍

This summer, I took my family and kids on a trip along the eastern coast of Hainan, starting from Beijing. Our first stop was Haikou. After comparing several hotels, we chose Pullman. We initially planned to visit Qilou Old Street, but due to the rain, we drove directly from the airport to the hotel with our rental car. The front desk staff were warm, polite, and answered all our questions. Although the hotel's exterior and room facilities aren't brand new, the river view from the window was beautiful, and the courtyard was lush green. Eating breakfast while surrounded by the tropical greenery was very pleasant. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes and drinks, all to our liking. While not perfect, I would still consider staying at the Pullman again on my next visit to Haikou.

Staying at the Haikou State Guesthouse this trip was beyond my expectations! Especially the service attitude of the hotel staff – they proactively upgraded my room, which was fantastic. And Xiao Meng at the front desk made my stay very pleasant. It was also very clean, though the facilities are a bit old, given how long the hotel has been open. I really enjoyed my stay, and the breakfast was excellent too!

AI recently stayed at Nanshan Temple Muyin, Qinghuandu Rainforest View Hotel, and overall, it was a very peaceful and enjoyable experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, with all amenities in excellent condition, which made my stay truly relaxing. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable. A great example of this was when I tried to work out at the gym, which is located outdoors and had flooring that wasn’t ideal. The staff noticed me exercising and promptly offered an exercise mat so that my clothes would not get dirty. This thoughtful gesture left a positive impression. The hotel facilities were generally good, and the serene environment around the property added to the experience. The food was okay—not bad, but nothing particularly outstanding. Still, it didn’t take away from the overall comfort of my stay. In summary, Nanshan Temple Muyin, Qinghuandu Rainforest View Hotel is a great choice for those looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent service and comfortable rooms, even if the dining experience could be improved slightly.

We went in mid June, rainy season so it was low season. For the price that we paid for the 2 bedroom villa, which included breakfast (at another hotel) entry to ocean park, The Five Country Hot Spring City, and personal shuttle bus service within the island. I think it was well worth it. Service was prompt and courteous, although communication was all through WeChat and in Chinese. Convenient but knowing sone Chinese would be better to utilize services . We stayed in the Japanese style villa, and it was tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. We especially loved having our own dry and steam sauna, and our own personal outdoor hot spring bath! Real hot spring mineral water! I recommend this place especially for people who love hot spring baths and want to avoid busy touristy hotels. Cleanliness: overall quite clean. Location: walking distance to ocean park and hot spring city, so quite convenient. 5-10 minutes shuttle ride to most places within the island. Service: knowing someone is available 24 hours was nice. They were eager to help with whatever we needed. The main concierge during the day was more friendly, competent and experienced. Amenities: everything we needed was provided. There was a Dyson hair dryer, fridge etc. If you are picky about your shampoo soaps etc, you may want to bring your own. But they do provide them.

”I would like to share my sincere appreciation for Yanyan’s excellent service during our stay. Yanyan was so helpful in recommending great activities for my kids, which really made our time here enjoyable. No matter what I asked, Yanyan was always ready with a kind and helpful response. Thank you, Yanyan, for being so attentive and making our family feel so welcome!”

This DoubleTree by Hilton seriously needs to improve its service. I also hope Ctrip can accurately reflect genuine reviews so consumers can choose hotels that suit their preferences. 1. **Parking Garage**: The signage and lighting in the underground parking garage are very dim. The entire elevator and stairwell area is hot, and there are black steps, making it dangerous to navigate with luggage. Furthermore, both EV charging stations are in terrible condition. The Nio charging area, operated by a third party, is full of clutter and trash. One charging pile even has its QR code scratched off, yet electric buses can just plug and charge. The other charging station is right next to the lobby entrance, almost entirely occupied by gas-powered cars. I'd like to know what the point of installing that boom barrier is. 2. **Poor Service**: There was a long queue for check-in with only two counters open. Management stood in the lobby, neither helping guests with luggage nor offering any alternative solutions to the check-in line problem. 3. **Breakfast Chaos**: The hotel breakfast felt like a scramble in a wet market. In the rice noodle area, everyone was rushing and grabbing, making it impossible to order according to guest preferences. There were no queue numbers, just total disarray. Many ingredients were either missing or not refilled, and everything was bland. This paid breakfast is definitely not worth it. 4. **Faulty Delivery Robots**: The hotel's delivery robots were frequently unavailable or malfunctioning, getting stuck in guest room elevators, unable to move in or out. Clearly, there are issues with their programming and compatibility with the elevator system. 5. **Subpar Room & Facilities**: The garden view from the 2nd-floor rooms was really poor, just a layer of artificial grass on the rooftop. The room facilities were very old, the sliding door wouldn't close properly, and the wear and tear on the charging sockets indicated that room maintenance is still lacking. 6. **Disappointing Cinema**: The hotel's cinema is small, and the staff's attitude was very mediocre. Yet, movie tickets cost twice as much as outside, regardless of whether you're a hotel guest. 7. **Only Consolation - Pool**: The only silver lining was the hotel's swimming pool; the water quality and service there were generally good. 8. **New Front Office Manager**: The newly appointed Front Office Manager is excellent. I hope the hotel can improve based on these issues to gain more guest recognition. Hardware is one aspect, but software (service) is where continuous improvement can truly be made.
