Beach Hotels in Hainan, China

Service: The front desk was excellent, even upgrading me directly to a duplex suite. There are a lot of Russians at this hotel, so I felt like the foreigner! It was like receiving VIP treatment. Plus, perhaps because of the Russian clientele, breakfast runs until noon, which is fantastic for late risers and vacationers – a proper brunch situation! Of course, with such late breakfast hours, the spread isn't overly extensive, more like a good 4-star plus standard. Cleanliness: The suite's cleanliness was decent. The hotel provided mosquito coils and repellent. I was confused about it during the day, but I understood why at night. Ambiance: It's an older hotel, hard to rate, but the value for money is very high. Facilities: Hard to evaluate. On one hand, it’s surprisingly well-equipped with a full-sized double bathtub, two bathrooms in the duplex suite, twin beds, and good soundproofing. On the other hand, it has that dated feel, and the projector screen for the attic projector was already worn out. But, credit where credit is due, the idea of a projector in the attic is quite clever. The gym was under maintenance. As for the pool, you need to be brave and unbothered by the Russians – if I'm not awkward, they are!

The hotel definitely stands out as the face of Ocean Flower Island. It's located right at the entrance to the island, and its iconic twin towers are truly magnificent, offering a visual feast without even needing to leave the building. Plus, the hotel's location is super convenient. **Facilities:** The room was incredibly spacious and bright, with a modern minimalist design. The facilities were very new, the bedding was pristine and comfortable, and the cleanliness was spotless. The bathroom was also very large, and the separate wet and dry areas were a thoughtful touch. **Service:** We checked in around noon on March 11th. The front desk lady was exceptionally warm and professional, making the check-in process efficient. She also thoughtfully provided us with a guide to exploring the island and even upgraded our room. A special thank you to the front desk lady for her service, and the bellhops were also fantastic.

The room was great. I have to thank Trip.com, as I booked the wrong dates and they helped me get a full refund for those days, which I really appreciate. However, the Eurotel is supposed to be a bit grander. My parents and I booked a suite, and I was going to sleep on the sofa for a night. I asked for an extra blanket, but the service here is quite inconsistent. The last staff member I spoke to helped me with the blanket, but the previous ones all said they didn't have any. It's not a big deal, but these small things make you feel uncomfortable. They told me all the blankets were checked out and there were no spares, but there were plenty of empty rooms online. Are you really telling me you'd rather leave rooms empty than give a guest an extra blanket? I ended up getting quite angry and complaining to customer service. Who wants to lose their temper during the New Year holiday?! Although it was eventually resolved, it still left a bad taste in my mouth.

The hotel is right next to Qishui Bay, with direct beach access and nice views. The location is very convenient, with more and more businesses opening up nearby. It's not far from Longlou Town for dining, or attractions like Tongguling, Moon Bay, and Dongjiao Coconut Grove. It was a bit busy during Chinese New Year, but not as crowded as Sanya or Gaolong Bay. It would probably be even quieter during off-peak seasons, making it a great choice for a relaxing 'lie flat' vacation, and you can even watch rocket launches. Public transportation is a bit inconvenient; self-driving is recommended, but ride-sharing apps like Didi can also cover your transportation needs. Facilities: A bit old, but good value for money. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. Wenchang Station to Hotel Shuttle Bus: Convenient. Family Fun Kids Activities: Plenty of activities, great for kids. Service: The butler was very responsible and attentive to our arrangements and needs throughout our stay.

I came to Haikou to relax and specifically booked a seaview room at the InterContinental Hotel for one night. Overall, it was a very impressive and satisfying stay. The day before my arrival, the hotel called me to inquire about my check-in time and room type preferences, which was a much better experience than some hotels that assign you a bad room upon check-in. Upon arrival, the front desk staff warmly processed my check-in and clearly directed me to the restaurants and other facilities without any sign of impatience. The entire lobby was very grand, with both the decor and the views being very well-designed. The room itself was a pleasant surprise; it was spacious, and the decor was excellent. Most importantly, the view was absolutely incredible! Opening the balcony door revealed a vast ocean view, and watching the sunset in the evening was truly spectacular. The hotel's swimming pool is also exceptionally well-built, giving off a true resort vibe. The hotel's service is genuinely top-notch. As I mentioned, they called before check-in and also followed up with a call after check-in to ask about my experience. When I left, I accidentally left something in the room, and the hotel called to inform me, kept it safe, and sent it to the concierge. Both online and in-person, their tone was consistently respectful and enthusiastic. Now, let's talk about the downsides. Firstly, the room didn't have a bathtub, which was a bit disappointing, especially considering the price point and room type. Most five-star hotels at this level typically include a bathtub, but it was missing in my room. Secondly, regarding the hotel's speaker system: I had asked on Trip.com beforehand if the room had speakers, and their reply was no. However, when I arrived, I found that it did (?). The sound quality of the speakers was rather mediocre, which wasn't ideal for someone like me who enjoys listening to music. Overall, InterContinental Haikou is a hotel with excellent service, great value for money, and impressive decor and design. I hope the hotel can pay more attention to small details like the speakers, as it would greatly enhance guests' happiness. I look forward to more pleasant surprises on my next visit.

Returned for another stay, and the experience was still great. Although it's an older hotel, the facilities are well-maintained. Last time I stayed in the Ocean View Suite, which was fantastic. This time I chose the main building's full sea view room, and it offered excellent value for money. Of course, older hotels in Sanya Bay mean a superb location with beautiful sea views and a perfect spot for sunset. Our butler, Vivi, was also very thoughtful. For family trips, I highly recommend the Ocean View Suite, and for couples, the Executive Full Sea View in the main building is also a good choice.

Facilities: This five-star hotel boasts comprehensive and luxurious facilities. The large balcony with a bathtub, lounge chair, and table is a thoughtful touch. The linens are of excellent quality and very comfortable. However, the toiletries could use an upgrade. The breakfast buffet is rich, varied, and delicious, featuring Hainanese specialties. Dishes and drinks are replenished promptly, which is a big plus! 👍 Cleanliness: Very clean and tidy! 👍 Environment: Both the interior and exterior environments are excellent! It really has a holiday vibe. The hotel offers very convenient and close access to the beach and seawall, and it's clean and not crowded. Service: The front desk and housekeeping staff are well-trained. They actively greet guests and respond to guest requests promptly and proactively. A huge thumbs up! 👍

Decided last minute to stay a night in Tianya Town and booked a boat-themed room at Fengbai! The room type was really interesting, truly felt like being in a ship's cabin. ZRS's operations are pretty good; all the facilities are well-equipped, and the hygiene was decent. You need to take a shuttle to get into Tianya Town, and this shuttle is a paid service by the scenic area. The parking lot also charges 40 per night for overnight parking. Overall, though, the B&B was great!

The environment is very good, beyond expectations. The kitchen and laundry supplies are all available, which adds a touch of warmth to our tiring journey. The housekeeper is very handsome and enthusiastic. 👏👏👏

I stayed at the Sheraton Haikou during the off-season this time. There were very few people, and whenever the sun was out, the hotel's public areas looked beautiful no matter where you took a photo. The breakfast was of a standard quality; I overslept on the second day and missed it. The butler service was very attentive. I casually asked if the hotel sold swimming caps, and a staff member immediately delivered one to my room. Since my flight was in the evening, I asked for a late check-out until 5 PM, and they readily agreed. This was probably because it was the off-season and rooms weren't in high demand. I got to relax at the hotel all afternoon before heading to the airport without any rush. For these three days, I barely left the hotel. I re-watched 'My Sunshine' countless times in my room, and when I got tired of that, the beach was just a five-minute walk away. Before 10 AM, there were hardly any people, and it felt like the entire ocean belonged to me. In the evening at 7 PM, there was a HH performance by the pool, which you could catch while having dinner, swimming, or soaking in the hot springs. Overall, the experience was quiet and comfortable. I'm planning to bring my mom next time; it's very suitable for seniors and children.
