Boutique Hotels in Hainan, China

The hotel boasts a Southeast Asian garden-style design, with all rooms being private villas, offering exceptional privacy. We rarely encountered other guests, except during breakfast and at the beach bar. Every evening, the hotel provides complimentary sunset drinks and snacks, which is delightful. The beach bar is right on the hotel's private and quiet beach, with very few people around. The hotel breakfast was a pleasant surprise, served from 7 AM until 12 PM, perfect for late risers like us! If you prefer not to go to the restaurant, the hotel also offers room service, which is a thoughtful touch. While the breakfast selection isn't vast, all items are distinctly local. I highly recommend the Hou'an noodles, oyster congee, and seafood noodles. The minibar in the room is restocked daily with a wide variety of drinks, more than you can possibly consume. The staff are incredibly enthusiastic, constantly asking if you need more. Another highlight is the evening turndown service. They light essential oils and even provide a complimentary 'Qingbuliang' (a refreshing local dessert), creating a perfect atmosphere for sleep. I literally just fell asleep and slept soundly until morning every night.

The room was very old and looked dilapidated everywhere. The toilet and bathroom were connected to the bedroom with no separation, so there was a constant smell at night. The fan in the room creaked when turned on. The dehumidifier ran all day, but the water tank remained empty. The jet button for the private hot spring was also broken. The climate was very humid, and clothes hung outside for two days were still wet. The lobby, public areas, and Chinese restaurant all lacked air conditioning, making them damp and stuffy. However, the greenery around the property was nice, and the hot spring was very comfortable. The overall service was also acceptable.

This is an established hotel with a great view, directly facing the golf course greens. The service is excellent, and the water park is well-managed; you can freely enjoy activities like paddleboarding. Many hot spring pools are also open, and the gardens are beautifully maintained. Dinner at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, Yaoyue Ting, was quite good. We also tried the mooncakes provided by the hotel today, and they were delicious.

Traveling to Sanya with a 9-month-old baby, choosing a hotel was a dilemma. Everyone recommended Tianyu in Yalong Bay, but I felt my child was too young to enjoy many of the facilities, so it wouldn't be worth it. I searched on Ctrip and found this family-themed room. It was very spacious for three people, and the hotel facilities were excellent, with a playground, an infinity pool, and paddleboarding. It truly exceeded our expectations when we arrived. There's also live entertainment, and ordering takeout is very convenient. It's a bit of a walk to the beach; for young children, I'd recommend bringing a stroller and a hip seat. The evenings in September were cool and breezy. If it weren't for another hotel's non-refundable policy, I would have loved to extend our stay for another night. Special thanks to our butlers, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Han, and Yali.

This time, I brought my family to Sanya Yalong Bay for a vacation and ultimately chose to stay at the Pullman Sanya Yalong Bay Villas & Resort. The biggest surprise throughout the entire trip came from the housekeeping service. I absolutely must write a detailed review to commend these dedicated housekeeping staff. The hotel as a whole has a Southeast Asian tropical garden style, surrounded by large areas of lush greenery. The standalone villas come with private hot spring pools, offering great privacy. You can feel the sea breeze and greenery of Sanya right in your own courtyard, creating an incredible atmosphere. The villa space is ample, with clearly defined areas for the living room, bedroom, and separate bathrooms. A large soaking tub, outdoor shower, and courtyard loungers are all available, making it perfect for a family relaxing holiday. The cleanliness and service of the room were definite highlights of this stay. The housekeeping staff were meticulous and professional. Every day when they came to clean the room, they would gently knock to confirm, respecting our rest time. While cleaning, they not only wiped the floors, surfaces, and bathrooms spotlessly clean but also paid attention to corners and crevices. The bathroom glass and sink were free of water marks, the toilet and shower area were clean and odorless, and the bedding was neatly replaced with pillows tidily arranged. Our personal luggage, electronic products, and children's toys, which were left casually in the room, were carefully organized without being arbitrarily moved by the cleaners, protecting guests' belongings – this was particularly reassuring. After cleaning each day, the housekeeping staff would thoughtfully arrange towels into cute elephant and swan shapes on the bedside, bringing a lot of joy to the children. During our stay, we occasionally needed extra mineral water and children's toiletries. After contacting housekeeping, the response was swift, and items were delivered to our room shortly after, with a gentle and polite attitude. One evening, when there were quite a few mosquitoes in the room, we contacted housekeeping, and staff quickly brought mosquito repellent and kindly reminded us to close the courtyard door to prevent mosquitoes from entering the room. Their thoughtfulness was evident everywhere. For several days, the room remained fresh and clean. Even when we went out for the day and brought back sand and beach items, the housekeeping staff meticulously cleaned the sand particles from the courtyard and room the next day, keeping the entire villa spotless. The area around the villa's pool was also cleaned, with fallen leaves and debris promptly cleared, ensuring the courtyard environment remained neat and comfortable. The housekeeping staff always greeted guests with a smile and sincere demeanor, without any perfunctoriness. You could tell the housekeeping team was professionally trained and dedicated to every room and every guest. Although some hotel facilities showed their age, the room maintenance was excellent. The housekeeping team consistently carried out daily upkeep and promptly reported any equipment issues to ensure guests' comfort as much as possible. It is precisely the diligent cleaning and thoughtful service of the housekeeping staff, day in and day out, that made the entire stay warm and pleasant. When on vacation, a clean and safe room is fundamental, and the Pullman housekeeping team exceeded expectations. The hotel's amenities are also very good. The in-park buggies were available on demand, shuttle services made travel convenient, and breakfast offered a rich variety. The distance to Yalong Bay Beach was not far. Our family enjoyed relaxing in the villa's courtyard and soaking in the private pool, making for a truly vacation-like experience. A big thank you to all the housekeeping staff for their patient, meticulous, and thoughtful service. They created a comfortable and safe living environment for us with their professionalism and dedication. The housekeeping service at Pullman Yalong Bay is highly commendable, and I strongly recommend it to anyone vacationing in Sanya. The next time we visit Yalong Bay, we will still prioritize Pullman and look forward to meeting this warm housekeeping team again, especially the butler Chen Shanzhu and housekeeper Xu Yiming, and Sun Youhui. Thank you, and see you next time.

This time we brought the kids to Sanya for a vacation, and chose St. Regis, which I've always loved, for our first stop~ As expected, it was as satisfying as ever! First of all, the butler service—why mention this first? Because we were in contact even before the trip. Our butler was Season, who added us on WeChat in advance to coordinate our requests. During our stay, he also kept a close eye on whether we needed any assistance~ Season was super nice! And he responded very quickly to every request we had~ My husband suddenly came down with paronychia, and upon hearing about it, Season was the first to check on him~ Since we were traveling with a little one, he took the kids into account in all his arrangements; he was so caring and patient~ 🩷 Front desk staff were also super nice. When she heard my child asking if they had any sand-digging buckets, she immediately handed one over 🩷 Although the hotel has been open for a while, our first reaction upon entering the room was how well-maintained it is. True to the St. Regis name! The room is huge, and the bathtub is huge too—it was the first time my disposable bathtub liner actually fit the tub properly 🛁, usually they're always too big, hahaha~ It has that old-money estate vibe, which makes for amazing, highly photogenic pictures! The beach is also very comfortable, and the distance between the infinity pool and the beach is thoughtfully designed~ During our stay, we went sea fishing, and the fish we caught could be sent directly to the Chinese restaurant to be prepared and eaten on the spot. That was such a great experience! The breakfast buffet is extensive! It’s the kind of spread where you want to eat a bit of everything and end up completely stuffed. Housekeeping was also great, everyone was very friendly, and requests were answered promptly~ All in all, this is a hotel where both kids and adults can have an absolute blast~ Highly recommended for family trips!

Staying at Coral Hotel is definitely worth it when visiting Wuzhizhou Island. The room was spacious, the facilities were brand new and very convenient. There was even a bathtub on the balcony! The hotel kindly upgraded us to a 180-degree sea view room, which made our stay incredibly comfortable. Sunbathing downstairs offered a completely different experience. Plus, the hotel provides a free VIP channel to the island and full shuttle service, which was very convenient. The only downside was that the outer ring road of Wuzhizhou Island was under construction during our visit, causing some noticeable vibrations. I'd love to go back again next time!

I previously stayed at the InterContinental next door, and it felt like I was walking 10,000 steps every day. This time, I switched to the Luhuitou Resort Hotel next door, and the layout is so much more reasonable – you don't have to walk far to get anywhere. The beach is right outside the hotel. Even though the hotel has been rebranded after all these years, I have to say, the hardware is still well-maintained! The staff were also super great. On my first day, I accidentally fell down the steps at the spa. The young ladies helped me out, giving me a massage and even some medicated patches. I'm so grateful to everyone! I definitely won't be doing other things while walking anymore! I went to the spa twice in a row, and the Thai masseuses had excellent techniques! It really helped me relax both body and mind after a week of running around.

The hotel is nestled at the foot of Qixianling Mountain, boasting a superb environment. The main building is ideal for wheelchair users, and the receptionist was very helpful, upgrading my room. The room even had its own hot spring, which was very convenient and comfortable. The restaurant manager was very welcoming and greeted us proactively; the food was also of good quality. A truly wonderful trip, I would definitely stay here again.

I booked a room at Lingshui Junlan a long time ago, and this time I stayed for three consecutive days in the Jinglanju. The environment was incredibly tranquil, with a spacious and very private courtyard, and the ecological setting was fantastic. The swimming pool water was refreshed daily, perfect for swimming enthusiasts. There's a hot tub in the courtyard; a soak in the morning, listening to the birds, left me feeling energized for the whole day. The room itself was also very spacious, with an excellent air conditioning system that kept the temperature comfortable. They even provided a yoga mat for indoor yoga practice. In the evening, you could enjoy outdoor activities, and although there were some insects, mosquito repellent was provided. They offered three types of tea daily and a well-stocked mini-bar; both facilities and service were top-notch. The hotel's beach was uncrowded with beautiful sand, and there was beach volleyball and an infinity pool, so there was no need to go to crowded external beaches. The parking garage was also very large with plenty of spaces, making it super convenient for self-driving guests. The hotel entrance leads straight to the highway, making it easy to visit nearby attractions! It was a truly wonderful travel experience.
