Cchara_✨Our family stayed at the InterContinental Haitang Bay during the Chinese New Year, and it truly exceeded our expectations – we all loved it!
The location is superb, just a 5-minute walk to the duty-free shop, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. The roadside stalls offer delicious and sweet small pineapples, mangoes, and durians, which really added to our happiness.
The hotel's layout is very well-designed, and the greenery is exceptionally well-maintained. The walk from the lawn path gradually leading to the beach was incredibly scenic and uplifting. The beach itself is quiet, not crowded, and not overly commercialized, creating a very comfortable atmosphere.
There's a wide variety of activities at the indoor kids' club and on the outdoor lawn, keeping the children happily entertained. Breakfast offered a great selection and tasted wonderful. We even got to experience snorkeling. We found plenty of joy without even leaving the hotel.
Everything was just as I had hoped for; it was a perfect holiday experience and definitely the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend!

GGuest User🌟 Five-star recommendation! Grand Hyatt Sanya Haitang Bay + Manmo Photography is absolutely amazing!🌟
For this family trip, we chose the Grand Hyatt Haitang Bay, and I was hooked from the moment we walked in! The hotel lobby faces the ocean directly, with a transparent design complemented by tropical greenery, instantly putting us in vacation mode. The biggest surprise was experiencing the hotel's partner, @Manmo Photography – it truly added the perfect touch to our journey!
📸 The photographer was super professional. They discussed my preferred style beforehand and took us to all the hidden gem photo spots around the hotel: the infinity pool blending with the horizon, the lawn shaded by coconut trees, the swings on the private beach... even our room's balcony yielded Instagram-worthy shots! During the golden hour at 5 PM, the sunset painted the entire beach orange. The silhouettes and waves captured were absolutely stunning, so beautiful that I couldn't bear to delete the raw photos🌅.
🌴 The hotel itself is also impeccable: huge rooms with direct sea views, a kids' pool slide that kept my child entertained endlessly, and the Baoluo noodles at breakfast were a must-have two bowls every day. During the photoshoot, the photographer even thoughtfully helped us plan our route, allowing us to discover the hotel's hidden gems – like the rooftop garden's stargazing bar, which, when lit up at night, feels like falling into the Milky Way✨.
Among the photos I received, my favorite is the candid shot of us running on the hotel lawn, with swaying coconut trees and the blue ocean in the background – pure tropical vibes! My friends even asked if I had gone abroad🏝️.
In short, if you stay at the Grand Hyatt, you *must* book Manmo Photography! Capturing beautiful memories in photos is truly the right way to vacation. Next time I'm in Sanya, I'll definitely choose this place again! @GrandHyattSanyaHaitangBay @ManmoPhotography ❤️

AAnonymous UserThe hotel's biggest draw has to be its Rainbow Bridge, the only sky-to-sea access in Sanya, leading directly to the beach in just a few minutes – far more convenient than taking a detour. As for facilities, both the infinity pool on the ninth floor and the sky garden on the third floor are impeccably maintained. Yori's service was warm and friendly. It's also worth noting how accommodating the hotel is to international guests; their multilingual services and cultural experiences (like the Li brocade weaving activity) make everyone from around the world feel right at home. Overall, for its price point, this hotel is an exceptionally competitive and high-quality choice, whether you consider its service, location, or amenities.

TTeobisataI stayed at Yalong Bay Earthly Paradise Birds Nest Resort in Sanya. The resort is marketed and priced as a luxury property. While the location, room quality, and cleanliness were satisfactory, the service level was severely below what is acceptable for a hotel in this category.
This was not an isolated incident but a consistent pattern of operational inefficiency and lack of professionalism.
Service Quality and Staff Preparedness
Throughout the stay, many staff members appeared very young and inexperienced. While this is not inherently negative, the lack of visible supervision, structured coordination, and professional training was evident. This may partially explain the repeated service failures, but it does not justify them — especially at this price point. A luxury resort must ensure proper training and management oversight.
Dinner Experience
The restaurant had very few guests, yet the staff forgot to provide basic cutlery (forks and chopsticks). No one monitored the tables, and water was not refilled unless specifically requested. Even fundamental hospitality standards were not met.
Breakfast Management
Breakfast operations were disorganized. There was a waiting list based on arrival order, yet guests who arrived after us were allowed to enter before us. We were traveling with a small child, which made the delay particularly uncomfortable.
As compensation, staff promised to send fruit to our room. The fruit never arrived. Offering apologies without follow-through demonstrates poor internal coordination and lack of accountability.
Checkout and Transportation Failures
On departure day, we had to request luggage assistance three times before receiving support. We then waited 40 minutes for the shuttle to reception while several buses passed without stopping for us. During this time, we called reception three times without any effective resolution.
Because of this disorganization and delay at checkout, I was forced to postpone a lunch meeting in Sanya with a very important guest of mine who was waiting for me. This was a significant professional commitment. A luxury resort’s inefficiency directly impacting a guest’s business obligations is unacceptable.
Communication and Safety Concerns
No staff members spoke English. For a resort charging international luxury rates, the absence of English-speaking personnel is a serious limitation for foreign guests.
Additionally, there was no visible safety guard near the swimming pools, which raises concerns, especially for families with children.
Hotel Environment
The hotel’s reserved areas were crowded with external tourists mixed among hotel guests, resulting in noise, confusion, and a complete lack of exclusivity. The atmosphere was chaotic rather than relaxing. The resort does not appear structured to accommodate international travelers seeking privacy and refined service standards.
Overall Assessment
I have stayed in numerous high-end resorts worldwide where service is proactive, coordinated, and client-focused. At this property, service was consistently inadequate and far below the level expected for the rates charged.
Summary:
Location: good
Room: good
Cleanliness: good
Service: unacceptable
For a resort positioned as luxury, this level of service is indefensible. One of the most disappointing high-end hospitality experiences I have experienced.

GGuest UserI booked the honeymoon suite on the seventh floor, a corner room with multiple windows and a large balcony. It was incredibly clean and comfortable, a truly pleasant surprise. The housekeeper who cleaned our room was very friendly, always greeting us with a smile. Although this hotel is quite large and can get busy, the staff works meticulously and tries their best to meet guests' needs. They proactively helped carry our luggage to the room upon arrival and again to the lobby when we checked out. This level of service was even better than what I experienced at the five-star Garden Hotel in Guangzhou. Of course, a small tip is definitely warranted! The hotel's BBQ and hot pot buffet were delicious and plentiful, especially the lamb skewers – I ate too much! The breakfast the next day was even more amazing; it was incredibly lavish. The restaurant was huge, and I'd say it was the most bountiful hotel breakfast of our entire trip. The landscaping was beautiful, and the hotel grounds were expansive. Right outside the hotel is the Coconut Dream Corridor. While the water at Sanya Bay isn't as clear as at Yalong Bay, it's still a nice place to walk around, stroll, and observe people's various activities.

GGuest UserMy stay at Sanya Tiancheng Central Coast Seaview Hotel was fantastic! The hotel is located right in the city center, which makes getting around incredibly convenient. Opening the window reveals a stunning sea view – it’s so expansive and incredibly therapeutic. The hotel environment is clean and elegant, with all the facilities you could need. The room even had a fridge and a washing machine, which is super thoughtful for longer stays. The gym is well-equipped, the infinity pool is absolutely gorgeous, and the spacious parking lot means no worries about parking. At one point, there was noise due to city construction, and after I reported it to a staff member, she responded immediately and quickly moved me to a quieter room. The service was efficient, thoughtful, and incredibly patient. Overall, my experience was top-notch, with attention to detail evident everywhere. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely choose it again on my next visit!

LLikexinWhat truly touched me during this stay was the personalized, attentive service from our butler, Xiu Lian. She was never intrusive, yet always appeared exactly when needed. Every request was met, and her service genuinely felt like she was 'anticipating my needs' – that sense of being looked after and cared for, just like being home. Thank you, [Name], for giving me such a warm place to land in this unfamiliar city. She wasn't just doing her job; it felt more like she was looking after a friend who had traveled a long way. This perfectly balanced care made my trip exceptionally warm.

CCarrieMy experience during the Spring Festival stay was not good, and I wouldn't recommend it. Putting aside the fact that it was peak season with large crowds (there didn't seem to be long queues at the front desk for check-in, and I believe a big hotel like this should have extensive experience in handling peak seasons), here are my reasons for dissatisfaction:
1. Due to the neighboring Atlantis hotel, the last 100 meters to Shangri-La were always congested. If we had booked other hotels along the road, we wouldn't have been affected. This was my first point of dissatisfaction.
2. The hotel has no EV charging stations, which is very inconvenient if you drive an electric car.
3. The hotel lobby has an uneven design, making it impossible to even introduce food delivery robots. We had to pick up our food from the delivery lockers ourselves. I saw some people on Xiaohongshu mention that they experienced concierge delivery service, but we did not. I asked a bellhop how to get our food delivery, and he didn't mention any delivery service from the hotel, only saying to pick it up from the locker.
4. The overall service attitude of the staff was poor and cold. From the greeters and front desk during check-in to the public area staff and butler, we didn't feel welcomed at all. Even with many tourists during peak season, I personally feel that paying such a high room rate for this kind of service is unreasonable.
5. The hotel facilities are quite old. The walls and waterproofing strips in the shower looked yellowish, the sofa bed was too hard, the inside of the toothbrush cups was dirty, and there were too many steps in the hotel lobby with unclear warning signs. As a family-friendly hotel, it's very unfriendly to children (especially young ones).
6. We pre-checked in around 12 PM, and were told a room was available after 2 PM, but we were still assigned a north-facing room.
7. The greeter at the lobby entrance saw my grandma getting out of the car with a child in her arms and bags, struggling to carry everything, but didn't offer any help. There was no sense of service at all.
8. Apart from a large, useless lawn, the other public area designs were cramped, small-minded, and formulaic.
9. The iron flower and fire dance performances starting at 7:30 PM were also very lackluster, feeling like a mere formality and failing to create any atmosphere.
10. The butler provided almost no convenient services and was very ineffective in answering questions.
11. I booked a room including breakfast for three people. However, on the second morning, we had to leave for Wuzhizhou Island pier at 7:30 AM. To avoid long queues with a child, I discussed with the front desk if we could pack some food to go that morning. The front desk initially seemed hesitant, then said guests were not allowed to pack food, only the butler could. So I contacted the butler to pack breakfast, which was divided into Chinese and Western options, with fixed contents, and it was abysmal. Chinese: one Hainanese mixed noodles, two boiled eggs, one red bean bun, two sausages; Western: two boiled eggs, two sausages, one small bread, two potato pancakes, one fried tomato slice. Is this really the standard for a 198/person breakfast?
12. On this trip, we stayed at two hotels. Shangri-La was almost twice as expensive as another family-friendly hotel in Sanya Bay, but the service was significantly worse. We felt no welcome or respect, and there were very few activities that interested our 1.5-year-old baby.

GGuest UserBefore booking, I saw a lot of negative reviews on Xiaohongshu, but after arriving, I found it to be pretty good. The room facilities are a bit old, but still acceptable. My kids loved it, especially the heated children's pool. Given the temperatures these past couple of days, a heated pool was essential. My children spent two full days there, splashing around every afternoon. It truly freed up the adults; we just had to lie by the side and keep an eye on them. Now, let's talk about the service. I have to give a shout-out to our butler, Didan. We've been in Sanya for a week, and previous butlers only answered questions and provided things when asked. But Didan was different. Not only was she responsive to every request, but she genuinely put the guests' needs and interests first. She even proactively offered services that I hadn't even thought of myself. Thumbs up! 👍👍👍

YYunmadefangsishenghuoSeriously, just book this hotel without hesitation! The service is so exceptional that after staying here, other hotels' service will just seem subpar. I particularly want to mention CC at the front desk; I thought the rave reviews were just hype, but I had the pleasure of meeting her yesterday and she was absolutely wonderful, truly excellent, and incredibly accommodating. The hotel is right on the beach 🏖️ with soft sand and crystal-clear blue water, and there are plenty of water activities. They even treated our whole family to breakfast, which was fantastic and the quality was superb. After we finished diving, they even gave us a late checkout. This hotel absolutely deserves a five-star review; the service truly makes up for any small flaws or inconveniences. I'll definitely be bringing my whole family back for an extended stay next time!
