Five days and four nights in Sanya

Traveling with a child under five, going to the beach is definitely the easiest option—no need to plan an itinerary or worry about whether it will be fun. Just find a family-friendly hotel and enjoy staying there～ So I chose Yanlord Crown and Atlantis, both designed for adults and kids to have a great time. Beijing Capital Airport T2 to Sanya Phoenix Airport First, we stayed in the Atlantis sea view room. Although November is the off-season, the lobby was still quite busy. I asked the front desk lady if we could get a higher floor, and sure enough, we got the 50th floor. The view was amazing, and the room was spacious enough for a family of three with a child. The water park has limited options for kids under 1.22m—they can only enjoy the splash park, wave pool, and rapid river ride. My son went through the shark tunnel three times. But for kids, it was already very fun. The aquarium was also great, with scheduled beluga whale interaction shows. Opposite the hotel aquarium is a Bawang Chaji tea shop, and of course, you can also order takeout. The duty-free shop is very close too. By the way, the duty-free shop has already opened its second phase, and the third phase is under construction—things are changing so fast. Yanlord Crown has always been a hotel I wanted to visit, known as the pinnacle of family-friendly hotels. The breakfast is truly a paradise for kids, with all kinds of chocolate chips, cotton candy, donuts 🍩, mini cones, gummies, and grilled sausages right at the entrance—parents simply can’t stop them. We booked the executive full sea view room, which includes executive privileges like afternoon tea and dinner, saving us the hassle of deciding what and where to eat, so we could just relax at the hotel. The splash park is not big but is heated to 30 degrees Celsius, which is really nice. The sea breeze in Haitang Bay was strong these days, so the pool felt warmer than the shore. The hotel has direct access to the beach 🏖️ and provides free sand digging tools, which the kids loved. There’s also a free little train and large playground. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to join the hotel’s various family activities because the child was busy playing in the pool and on the beach. Warm towels and ginger tea are always available by each pool, and the service is excellent. Our butler Timi was very responsive and answered all questions promptly. When we left, we even received a small gift. It was a wonderful stay. The child is already looking forward to the next beach trip～
