Romantic Hotels in Hainan, China

For this family trip, we booked the Magpie room type, and the large balcony really won me over. You can listen to the mountain breeze and overlook the sea – it's wonderful. As for snakes and insects, there's no need to worry; if you occasionally see a gecko, don't panic, just release them back into nature. Dining in this area is quite convenient, with restaurants just a three to five-minute walk away. If you order takeout, it can be delivered to the hotel lobby bar, and staff will then bring it to the various service centers. You just need to walk a short distance to pick it up yourself.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at Palace Hotel. There was a small issue on the first day, but the staff handled it quickly and professionally, which left a good impression. The swimming pool was excellent, and one of the highlights was being able to enjoy a meal while looking at the aquarium. The location is also very convenient, with the night market within walking distance. Yalong Bay Beach was a little below my expectations, although it is only about a 3-minute walk from the hotel. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with great facilities, and I would consider staying here again.

My stay at Wanda Vista Sanya Haitang Bay was absolutely perfect! The hotel's tropical gardens are serene and elegant, offering direct oceanfront views in a peaceful and relaxing environment. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, and very convenient for getting to the duty-free shop. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients. Ella was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and attentive, quickly resolving all my needs. Overall, the value for money is exceptional, and the vacation experience was outstanding. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Sanya!

This was a 'lie-flat' vacation with the kids. I booked a 3-day, 2-night king-bed package during the 618 sale and upon arrival, we were upgraded to an 88-square-meter room. It had a garden view, which was actually nice because we couldn't see the construction of the Lijing project. Anyway, my little one spent every day either at the kids' club or in the pool, so whether it had a sea view or not made little difference. Mom seized the opportunity to pop over to the adjacent Hainan Duty-Free. The InterContinental has its own shortcut through the construction site to the duty-free shop, which is super convenient, and there's a 10% discount on regular-priced clothes and such, which is pretty good and saves a bit of money. The hotel has daily activities you can join; just book the starred ones a day in advance. The kids had a blast every day, busy from morning till night. In the evening, there were more activities and an iron flower performance. After completing the games and checking in, they even got gifts! With Dad's help, they collected a pile of toys, which made them so happy! Our butler, Bobby, was available for any questions, and it was easy to get fresh towels after swimming or grab slippers. We stayed on the second floor, and the auntie who served us was always smiling and very nice – big praise for her!

The environment is actually pretty good. As an older five-star hotel, the service isn't bad at all. I was traveling alone and just looking to relax, so I didn't have any special demands and booked a basic garden view room. The facilities are indeed quite old-fashioned, and its reputation for having a guesthouse-like vibe is well-deserved. However, staying here was actually alright. The sea in Yalong Bay is truly beautiful, and the Mangrove Tree Resort has a prime beachfront location. If you're looking for beautiful scenery and great photo opportunities, this place is worth it. But if you're looking to relax and prioritize bedding and comfort, you might want to reconsider. From my experience staying at various places on this trip, the Mangrove Tree Resort just doesn't cut it when it comes to comfort.

This is my umpteenth time staying at the Four Seasons Haiting Hotel. Whenever I visit Sanya, I always try out a few different hotels, and besides the beachfront resorts, the Four Seasons Haiting Hotel is always my top choice because it offers incredible value for money. This time, Mr. Li at the front desk left a lasting impression on me – he was incredibly warm, attentive, and had excellent emotional intelligence. He communicated with guests genuinely, without any perfunctory responses, and even my elderly family members expressed their sincere gratitude to him. What I noticed this trip was how few Chinese guests there were and how many Russians; during meal times, I honestly felt like I was abroad! The hotel is just as good as ever, the service remains excellent, the rooms are well-maintained, and the breakfast is great value.

The room's balcony offered a sea view, which was a pleasant surprise, and you could hear the sound of the waves. The twin beds were also perfect; my daughter and I had plenty of space. As soon as we checked in, we added the housekeeper, Tudou (Potato), on WeChat. He was incredibly responsible, checking in daily to see if we needed anything and always answering our questions – really great! While swimming isn't allowed in Haitang Bay, the hotel has sectioned off a small area where you can go into the water. It was quite hot and sunny during our stay, so we only went swimming or to the beach in the evenings. Overall, it was a good experience. I hope to visit the seaside in winter sometime; it's always so hot when I come!

We booked the Celebrity Suite, which was very spacious and perfect for families. The room was also very clean. Although some of the facilities were a bit old, it didn't affect our comfortable stay. My favorite part was the large balcony with direct ocean views – a true beachfront experience! We could go straight down to the sea for a swim. A special shout-out to our housekeeper, Suyu, who saw we had elderly guests and children and arranged for a late check-out for us, allowing everyone to take a nap before leaving.

Banyan Tree Sanya, a hidden gem nestled in Luhuitou Bay. At night, I enjoyed a private soak in the courtyard's hot spring, accompanied by starlight, the gentle sway of palm trees, and the sound of the ocean. The warm water washed away the day's fatigue, and the evening breeze soothed my mind. No need to dwell on worldly worries; just gaze at the stars, listen to the waves, and find a rare sense of tranquility.

This was my first time staying at Atlantis Sanya, and the main reason for our visit was to celebrate my husband's birthday. I was drawn to the Atlantis' activities and facilities while searching for hotels in Sanya on Trip.com. Since I was busy with work, I didn't have much time to plan the itinerary. Luckily, after booking the hotel, I contacted them via email, and they kindly agreed to arrange a birthday cake to surprise my husband on his special day. Atlantis also offers a very thoughtful service. I had pre-purchased tickets for the beluga underwater activity and the dolphin interaction program separately through their WeChat mini-program. Soon after, I received a call from an Atlantis staff member informing me that there was a package deal that included both activities at a significantly lower price. In the end, they helped me cancel my previous orders and process a refund so I could repurchase the package. I wholeheartedly recommend the beluga underwater activity. Andy and Tina, the star belugas, are gentle and a little playful. They interacted with us for a full 30 minutes. Opportunities to touch belugas are rare in a lifetime, and being able to kiss them too made the ticket price absolutely worth it! The Ossiano underwater restaurant is also worth a try! As it was my husband's birthday dinner, we opted for a specific set menu. We enjoyed our meal right next to the large fish tank, watching the fish swim by. The price of their set menu is comparable to 'Omakase' in Hong Kong. If you have any dietary restrictions, they are happy to accommodate changes to the ingredients. Ossiano's ambiance, service, food quality, and portion sizes were all excellent. Both of us found every dish delicious, and at the end, the waiter thoughtfully brought us hot tea to help us digest. Finally, I'd like to extend a special thank you to Ariel, our dedicated Atlantis hotel staff member. Throughout our 4-day, 3-night stay, she thoughtfully messaged us to see if we had any special needs. When she learned it was for my husband's birthday, she specifically arranged balloons and decorations, and even sent fruit and a birthday cake. These past few days, she was like a little assistant, quietly taking care of everything behind the scenes for me. She also helped me communicate with the restaurant and answered all my questions. I really appreciate all her help these past few days. 💕 If you're planning a trip to Sanya, Atlantis is truly an excellent choice. The price might not be cheap, but the room rate includes daily unlimited access to the aquarium and one daily entry to Aquaventure Waterpark per person. The cost of these tickets alone makes it a great value, whether you're a couple or a family with children!
