Hotels With Pool in Hainan, China

I finally have some time now, so I'll leave a detailed review for everyone's reference. The rooms and facilities are quite complete and relatively new. I saw some comments saying that the parking lot, guest rooms, and breakfast area were scattered and hard to find. I think it's actually fine; as a resort-style hotel with a central courtyard, it's easier to navigate than detached villas. It took about 20 minutes to walk around and get my bearings. The underground parking and restaurant are served by the same elevator. The front desk and concierge service were unremarkable, lacking a bit in smiles, quite bland 😊. Breakfast is served until 10:30 AM, but even at 10:15 AM, dishes were still being refilled, and the variety was quite rich. We didn't want to go out for dinner, so we ordered a set meal. The food was excellent, and the portions were huge; we couldn't finish it all. The service at the Chinese restaurant was very good, with staff consistently demonstrating the professionalism expected of a high-star hotel. Special commendation to the uncle at the outdoor BBQ, who was very enthusiastic and reminded us to watch our step when we passed by at night. There's a hot spring, but I didn't get to experience it. All three swimming pools are great, and the water is very clean, which the kids loved. Overall, if you're tired of ocean views, it's definitely worth staying for two nights.

This was our second time staying at Bird's Nest with the kids. This time we booked a larger room, and the front desk kindly upgraded us for free. We even had a dedicated service butler who was incredibly helpful. Their response time for dining arrangements and car bookings was very quick. The room facilities and decor have a charmingly rustic and natural feel. As for the views, they are absolutely stunning, with rolling mountains and blue skies and white clouds that feel within reach. You can hear the rustling of the pines and the wind blowing through the leaves, and there's a panoramic view of Yalong Bay, where the sea and sky blend seamlessly. It's perfect for those looking for a quiet getaway and a close connection with nature.

We stayed at the Yalong Bay Welcome Hotel for the second time with our child, after an interval of three or four years, and I feel the hotel's service has actually improved! This time, I added our butler Gina on WeChat in advance. She's wonderful, always accommodating, and helped us resolve many requests and issues during our stay! What impressed me most this time is how well the hotel has been maintained over the years; the room facilities are still quite good (perhaps the only minor drawbacks are that the mattress might be old and a bit sunken, and the soundproofing could be a little better). The breakfast is noteworthy, especially with the underwater restaurant. However, during the summer, it gets very crowded (especially with Russians), which somewhat diminishes the experience despite the wide variety of food. The hotel also offers many children's activities, and the play area is large enough that our child went there every day. It's only a few minutes' walk to the beach, and dining options nearby are very convenient! In Yalong Bay, this hotel is a high-value option that's perhaps understated by its name! We will likely return. A big thank you again to Gina for her excellent service and for the little cake she gave us!

Sanya Haitang Bay Wanda Realm was an absolute gem! The location is incredible, right next to the duty-free shop. After a shopping spree, it was just a few steps back to the hotel, making getting around incredibly convenient. The hotel grounds are massive, with coconut groves and ocean views everywhere you look – every photo is Instagram-worthy. Ella provided such thoughtful service, always there for any little thing we needed, taking care of everything down to the last detail. All I had to do was eat, drink, play, and relax [heart emoji]. I didn't have to worry about a thing, the experience was top-notch. I'll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Sanya! [rose emoji]

On this business trip to Sanya, I wanted to relax over the weekend and experience a few different bays. I chose this well-established, high-value five-star hotel in Sanya Bay. I booked an executive sea-view room on a higher floor, offering an expansive view. The east-facing balcony also provided beautiful sunrise views. However, the beach at Sanya Bay is slightly less impressive compared to Haitang Bay and Yalong Bay, but the surrounding commercial and takeaway options are much better. I won't go into too much detail about the room, but there are a couple of issues to note. First, the room had a somewhat pungent, damp smell, which improved significantly after turning the air purifier to its purification setting. Second, the air conditioning didn't cool as effectively as expected. However, these two problems are common in hotels along the Sanya coast, and considering the price, I'd say it's just about acceptable.

The resort experience at InterContinental Sanya is absolutely amazing! The grounds are surrounded by coconut groves, the private beach is clean and tranquil, and the ocean view rooms offer unobstructed vistas. Waking up to watch the sunrise and enjoying the sea breeze in the evening is simply blissful. The butler service is attentive and thoughtful, with Lucas responding promptly to all our requests. The breakfast selection is abundant, and the family-friendly facilities are excellent. It's the perfect choice for a relaxing getaway, and we'll definitely stay here again on our next trip to Sanya.

I've been to Sanya many times, but this was my first time staying at the Mangrove Tree Resort, and it was a very disappointing experience. People online often mention it's old, and it definitely is, but that's not the main issue. After all, I stayed next door a few years ago, and it was old then too, but the experience was great. The key really lies in the facilities and service. Let me first mention two or three good points: first, the room hygiene was good, the cleaning lady was very enthusiastic and responsible; and the breakfast selection was rich and tasty. Now for the long list of complaints: Facilities: The old and small room is forgivable, as it's an entry-level room in an older hotel, but the facilities are truly not user-friendly. 1. There's very little counter space to place things in the room – just one desk and a TV stand. This isn't enough for a family traveling with children. 2. The shower in the bathroom is inside a large bathtub. This design is so outdated! Every day, I had to climb over a bathtub that was over a meter high to shower. If you have elderly family members, definitely do not stay here; there's a risk of falling. 3. There's also a shower area on the balcony. I don't know what kind of ”wild fun” this is meant to provide. Firstly, if you're short, it's impossible to shower while enjoying the view, and people inside the room have a clear view, making it unsuitable for families with children. Furthermore, this shower area has no place to hang towels or clothes, or to put toiletries, needlessly taking up a third of the already small balcony. 4. The clothes rack on the balcony is fixed, so you can't hang long clothes or trousers, only small items, and it clashes with the nearby table and chairs. 5. The toilet is cramped, a three-way split is impossible. The toilet paper holder isn't on the side but to the back right, directly above the trash can, so you need a special technique to tear paper, otherwise it falls into the bin. All the designs are incredibly bizarre; I don't see how this relates to being a ”family-friendly” hotel. Service: I can't even give a score. I specifically requested on Ctrip not to have a corner room, and the room we got was in the furthest wing, the second to last room. So, this doesn't count as a corner room?? Upon check-in, we noticed water dripping from the ceiling's air conditioner condenser right next to my suitcase. We called for maintenance, and they said it was because we had the balcony door open while the AC was on. The implication was that it was our fault for improper use. So, I guess no other guests ever open the balcony door while the AC is on, right? The butler didn't proactively offer any solutions, and we didn't want to push for a room change or upgrade, so we just made do. Then, on our last day, while having breakfast in the hotel's semi-outdoor restaurant, halfway through our meal, water started dripping from the air conditioner condenser above our table, landing in our plates, forcing us to move tables. So, by the hotel's previous logic, the restaurant shouldn't even have AC on, since it's semi-outdoor, right? Shouldn't the hotel compensate me for their own ”usage problem”? It's ridiculous. We encountered many absurd things at this hotel, including but not limited to: although there were staff leading guests to tables at breakfast, on the first morning, they led us incorrectly three times, taking us in different directions only for others to say there were no empty seats in that area. I don't know how they communicate. Later, we saw other guests finishing their meals outside and wanted to sit there, but the usher seemed oblivious, as if sealed in place. We also witnessed a long tile falling off the fruit buffet counter, hitting a guest's foot, and a server accidentally spilling an entire tray of freshly made fried rice, with grains scattered around a focused guest who was unaware and getting food... The public areas are just average for a hotel in Yalong Bay, nothing special. With sunlight, it's not ugly, but it's not particularly beautiful either. The only places worth photographing are the pool, lawn, and coconut trees in front of the lobby. No wonder there are no other pictures in the reviews; I could only photograph this area myself. The children's pool is small, and the standard pool is even smaller, undeserving of the word ”standard.” Having stayed in so many hotels, this one is truly hard to review.

Traveling with kids can be a hassle, but this hotel made our entire trip stress-free. Special thanks to Manager Shen from the front office. Upon arrival, he proactively helped us with our luggage and immediately provided children's amenities when he saw our little one. The check-in process was efficient, and he thoughtfully upgraded us to a family room. When my child accidentally spilled juice, Manager Shen's first concern was to reassure us that ”the child is fine,” and he swiftly handled the situation. His warmth and patience throughout made a deep impression on us. The room facilities were complete, and the breakfast was incredibly rich. The hardware is great, but the service is even more heartwarming. The professionalism and warmth of the hotel's service made our family trip start off perfectly. I've already recommended it to friends and will definitely be back!

How do I put it... this hotel has a team that's incredibly dedicated and tries hard to make sure you have a better vacation, but unfortunately, the hardware really lets them down. You almost feel sorry for such a great team. During the summer, with the hotel fully booked and everyone running around, they still try to give you the best experience. However, a lot of it comes down to the hotel's facilities being too old, or the restaurant's air conditioning just not being strong enough. You can't really ask for more. To sum it up: if you're looking for a hotel with top-notch hardware, software, and service, you should consider a more expensive option. But if you just want a place to relax where all the essentials are covered, then this could be a consideration.

The room is beautifully decorated, simple and elegant, and equipped with smart equipment. Every morning when you wake up and open the curtains, you can see the scenery of the fields. It is very comfortable to take a swim in the swimming pool before going to bed at night. It takes about 20 minutes to ride a bike from the B&B to Shimei Bay. Since I mainly went surfing this time, I rode the small electric donkey in the store every day and went to the beach with the sea breeze. It was very comfortable. The most important thing is that the boss lady and the staff are very enthusiastic. They will invite guests to have barbecue, drink and chat in the evening. In short, it is a very good experience. I will go there again if I have the opportunity.
