The Sanya Luhuitou Resort, renamed from Anantara Resort, is located in Xiaodonghai, Sanya, Hainan Island, known as the "Hawaii of the East." It's close to Luhuitou Park, Luhuitou Golf Course, and Volvo Yacht Harbor. Guest rooms, suites, and pool villas embody oriental charm and feature KINGSKYES mattresses for healthy and comfortable sleep, creating a magnificent paradise on Sanya's stunning coastline. You and your family can enjoy a private and exclusive space. A master-level golf course, a variety of challenging outdoor activities, and an on-site children's playground will add excitement and joy to your vacation with your children.
"I recently stayed at this hotel for a week and wanted to compare it to my experience four years ago. The hotel's exterior has barely changed over this period, now looking a bit worn. It's clear that there haven't been any renovations or updates to the facilities in years. However, it still maintains a comfortable atmosphere. On the other hand, you can also sense that hotel management is doing everything possible to cut costs, trimming anything they deem non-essential.
The breakfast has become much simpler, with very, very, very limited variety and options. The food also has a distinctly ”cheap” taste. Of course, you won't go hungry, and you'll always find one or two dishes you like, but it's certainly not the lavish buffet you'd expect from a high-end hotel anymore.
Evidence of cost-cutting is also visible in the hotel's infrastructure and beach area. There aren't many sun loungers on the beach, and most of them are in need of repair.
However, not everything is negative. The hotel staff are still incredibly hardworking and enthusiastic. Rooms are cleaned promptly, the bedding and towels are spotlessly white, and the front desk staff are very efficient. Overall, these are the most important aspects for any hotel. By international standards, this hotel genuinely deserves a 3-4 star rating.
Regarding the hotel's location, I'd like to highlight Xiaodonghai Bay. It's picturesque with beautiful scenery, far from the perpetually bustling Dadonghai. For those seeking tranquility, it's an excellent choice, yet it's also close enough to Dadonghai that you can easily take a taxi to the vibrant resort areas."
