Hotels Near Lee in Sanya

Thanks to Butler Wendy who is helpful in helping us upgrade to a Bigger and Better Sea View Apartment. It comes with a bathtub on the balcony. We just arrived at the hotel (after a red eye flight), she recommended a Coconut Chicken Hot pot next to the hotel and even brought us there. She constantly checks in with us to ensure that our stay is comfortable. Pros: 1. The location is convenient near the Sanya City so traveling around for food and attractions is easy with DiDi (taxi). 2. The bed is comfy. The apartment comes with a washing machine, fridge and induction cooker (but may have to ask them for the pots) 3. Breakfast is a good spread with Chinese and Western food options. Most importantly, breakfast time is till 1 pm. Cons: 1. Wifi is very very weak, and can't be used at all. And being a tourist (foreigner) we have to use our precious data roaming. 2. There is no chair and table at the balcony which does not allow us to sit and relax at the balcony. 3. The Swimming pool strangely is located outside of the hotel in a public space. So it feels weird going down for a swim. 4. There is no beach front but there is a beautiful pathway leading to Phoenix Island, so the walking and jogging is pleasant.

Pros: - Friendly & helpful staff: the reception desk managers are quick & obliging, will call a taxi for you & answer all the questions. And even though there's an evident problem with communicating in English, as only a couple of managers speak it, you will get the assistance with every issue asap, as the team uses translating apps. Same way there's always a safeguard at the pool from early morning till the late evening. The cooks & waiters do their best during the breakfast time & the buffet table is organized quite comfortable. And special thanks to the ladies responsible for housekeeping, they are real fairies. You don't see them, but everything is clean & shining every day. - Ideal location: it took 22 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport by taxi & approximately the same time to get to Yalong bay. We needed just 11 minutes of walking to get to Dadonghai beach, 40 minutes of walking to get to Luhuitou scenic area & 15 minutes more to get from there to Xiaodunhai beach, but we like walking. If you don't - taxi or public transport will get you there muxh quicker. - Public transport availability: there're bus stops of different bus routes close to the hotel & it's quite easy to get to Nanshan cultural park, Dongtian park, Yanoda rainforest area & many other sightseeings. Same way you can easily get to shopping malls in Sanya (Joy city, for eg.), Sanya romance park & so on - Additional services: if you are not a fan of self-organized adventures, there's an excursion office in the lobby. We didn't use it, so can't say exactly what they suggest, but other tourists used it - The food at breakfasts is a combination of local & European cuisines with a wide range of dishes, typical for buffets. You will never stay hungry & for sure will find something for your taste - All of the facilities, including the restaurants, the pool, the sitting areas, same way as the hotel territory as a whole, were top tier. Neat, tidy & well maintained - As for the room itself, it was quite comfortable for two persons: spacious, filled with light, decorated with wood, which made it look cozy & some kind of ”aquarium” design. Yes, it's a bit ”tired”, but maintained in a good state Cons: - There's a gym, but it's really tiny: there's a treadmill, a cable machine, a stationary bicycle, a set of dumbells. As far as I can remember, there was also a rowing machine, but it didn't work. There was no abs wheel, or even one inclined bench or cardio stepper, same way there was no yoga mats. Just not much for girls( Actually I understand, why: for 7 days we saw just 1-2 persons a day using the gym, but still it's a good idea to have it for those, who care about their shape - If you are a vegetarian, as one of us, be careful, while choosing dishes at the breakfast buffet: sometimes on the note tablet it's said, that it's baked vegetables, but there're pieces of baked meat or chicken within them. Just be attentive - For us the main disappointment were some guests, who behaved quite impolite: smoked inside the elevators, though there was large notice reminding on prohibition to do that. Same way during the breakfasts some guests managed to create such a mess not only on the tables but around them. Have no idea, for what reason adult people throw food on the floor again and again, but it looks ridiculous. Anyway, good manners can't be bought & your behaviour in public places says much more about your personality. But thanks a lot once again to the restaurant staff, who makes all that mess disappear quickly Anyway, the pros evidently overweighed the cons, so we can definitely recommend this hotel for staying in Dadonghai area

Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Room has a full kitchen and grocery store close by. American, Italian and Russian restaurants all within short walking distance. Dolphin was exceptionally good. Swim coach was excellent with a good transition to coral reef snorkeling after a few pool sessions. Definitely try and travel outside official Chinese holidays as it can get very busy in the neighborhood

I stayed for 2 nights with 5 couples, each in separate rooms. The location is excellent—close to the beach, shopping centers, and restaurants. The rooms and public areas were clean and well-maintained. The pool was fantastic, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options. However, there was some confusion about the pool closing time. The sign said it closes at 12 PM, but the lifeguards instructed us to leave by 10 PM. The security was impressive; access to each level required a room card, ensuring privacy and safety. The employees were incredibly kind, and I’d like to extend a special thanks to the housekeeping team. Tim at the front desk was especially helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this place!

I had a pleasant stay. The room is very small, but clean. The furniture is old and a little out dated. The hotel staff including the concierge were friendly and accommodating, Vanessa was the only staff to speak English. She gave me so much help and services. The hotel location is great with a private lounger on the beach. The breakfast was rich. The hotel allowed me to check out late which was nice of them, I had an afternoon flight.

We've stayed at pearl river garden for 3 nights, overall, we have enjoyed our stay. Everyone at the hotel are so friendly and welcoming from the day we arrived. (Which we value this more than anything) Special shout out to Jim, who has made the stay very memorable. The room is clean, though not very spacious, but it was ok for us, a family of four. Great location, probably one of the best locations in the area, easy access to the beach, very family friendly. The only drawback, if there is any, would be the pungent smell that hits me every time I walk in the room, I'm guessing it's the cleaning chemical they use around the hotel rooms. All in all, Thank you Jim and everyone in the hotel for looking after us during the stay, will definitely recommend anyone who wishes to stay in the area. This is a geniuen review made after the departure (not some awkward on the spot review). I hope this is useful to others.

Stay at dadonghai hotel was excellent, especially we enjoyed the view from balcony and access to beach nearby. Our room was spacious as my child enjoyed playing here and there. The location is also convenient to reach any destination around sanya. The only thing that hotel lacks is English speaking staffs at front desk, but again they were helpful in many ways. Will surely stay here if we come to sanya again.

Stayed 4 days in a hotel. The hotel is located nearby the biggest shopping mall in dadunhai area, which provides a big number of attractions inside, fine dining and shopping. Dadunhai beach is okay with well developed infrastructure. Breakfast is perfect with a huge amounts of dishes both European, Russian and Chinese cuisine.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay; friendly staff, and ayi was excellent. Many restaurants and activities are nearby. Great walks along the beach. Good view from the room balcony, but could not stay out long, a construction happening next door. The front desk did not completed our checkout after we turned in our keycards When we tried to checkin to our next hotel, and found that we have not released from the hotel yet. We don't understand the process, therefore it could be trip.com or the hotel fault.

Really old resort back in early 2000s. Many idle facilities left to rot collecting dust. Breakfast buffet is heavily chinese oriented as expected. Not much suits even for our south east asian taste buds. The water park is quite sad because they make it seemed bigger than it actually is from promotional photos. And yes it is equally old water park. Location is very close to the train station so thats a plus point for us doing short stay in Sanya.
