The Ritz-Carlton, Haikou

"Checked in on my birthday – a Leo has to celebrate at the Ritz! The hotel called beforehand and I added the butler on WeChat. The overall style is a British manor resort, which is exactly my personal preference. My butler, Winni, upgraded my room type to an executive golf view room (a huge thank you again to Winni, who assisted me many times during my stay; she was always calm, thorough, and highly professional). In terms of location, it might be a drawback if you want to stay in the city center or by the beach. However, for a relaxing getaway, golfing, celebrating an anniversary, or a transit stop, it's definitely the top choice in Haikou. Winni, the butler, asked for my arrival time in advance and arranged a birthday surprise in the room (birthday cake + custom room key + room decorations + a handwritten card – incredibly thoughtful!). During my stay, I tried putting on the green twice and an 'Eight-Section Brocade' morning exercise session once. The gentlemen leading the sessions were very patient. I also swam in the hotel pool every day; it's 25 meters long and the water quality is excellent. The gym was also great – well-equipped, with a bottle of mineral water and a towel at each machine. There were also cold mineral waters available in the fridge. For dinner, I ate at the Sky Bar. They had reserved a table with a view for me and decorated it. As soon as I entered, the gentlemen and ladies (staff) all wished me a happy birthday – it was truly delightful! Breakfast was at the Italian restaurant. The lady who greeted me meticulously explained all the ingredients and food stations and then guided me to my seat. The beef brisket noodles and eggs Benedict were delicious! For hot dishes, I particularly enjoyed the black pepper beef ribs and steamed pork ribs. My child was still asleep in the room, so the kind lady at the restaurant thoughtfully packed some small cakes, eggs, and a glass of room-temperature milk. The mattress was very comfortable, and I loved the bedding – it was fluffy but didn't feel unsupportive. The bathroom had a double vanity and a wet/dry separation, and the bathtub was a good size (the bathroom decor felt the most 'Ritz' to me, haha). Overall, The Ritz-Carlton will always be my top choice for important occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. I look forward to my next visit."

Sofitel Haikou

"The concierge was very efficient, helping us with our luggage and arranging a car for us. The hotel's location is great, making it very convenient to drive to Qilou Old Street for sightseeing and dining. The hotel's outdoor pool has a fantastic view, and the room hygiene is also good. Staying here made our trip much more worry-free."

Haikou Mingguang Shengyi Hotel

"This is my third stay at Haikou Mingguang ShengYi Hotel. The location is excellent, very close to Haikou West Station, making transportation convenient. There's a large commercial area nearby, which is lively at night. The hotel environment is great, the rooms are very clean, and the service is also good. Thumbs up!"

The Westin Haikou

"The hotel's location is excellent, right under Century Bridge. The front desk staff were warm and friendly. The room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. It's also not far from Haikou's Cloud Cave Library, a nice spot to walk to and catch the sunset. Getting around from here is super convenient. I'll definitely be back!"

Ya Hotel (Haikou Riyue Square Duty Free Shop)

"I've stayed at Yafan multiple times. The front desk staff are lovely, and the hygiene is consistently excellent. Free parking is a huge plus, and it's conveniently located near Riyue Plaza and the Provincial Museum. Overall, a great experience."

Mission Hills Resort Haikou

"To celebrate Children's Day, I brought my family to Mission Hills again, but this stay was a mixed bag. I rarely write reviews, but this time I really want to give a detailed one. First, let's talk about the good parts: 1. Upon check-in, the lobby service was very friendly, especially Steven from the lobby staff. Before our car even stopped, we heard a warm welcome. He helped with luggage, guided us through check-in, and introduced family activities, etc. He left a deep impression on me and instantly brightened my holiday mood. Check-in at the front desk was surprisingly fast, no waiting at all, which is rare. 2. The lobby bar staff was very enthusiastic. From entering the lobby bar to sitting down, they thoroughly explained the afternoon tea options and thoughtfully informed us about available discounts. Absolutely fantastic! I apologize for not remembering the name of this excellent staff member. 3. The recreational activities were plentiful. At Squirrel Land, there seemed to be many staff members, but no one proactively asked us what we wanted to play. After we inquired, we paid for the chargeable activities. While my child was enjoying an activity, a young lady came over and enthusiastically introduced the Children's Day activities available tomorrow. This definitely deserves praise. Now, I need to talk about the disappointing aspect: the buffet dinner!!!!!!!! Looking forward to Mission Hills' buffet dinner, I booked a package that included it. I also invited two relatives to join us for the buffet. I spent over 400 RMB on ** (platform name omitted, assuming it's a booking platform), and for 4 adults and 1 child, I estimated the total buffet cost should be at least 800+ RMB. What kind of terrible dining experience did I end up having? 1. On May 30th, I called the restaurant in advance to make a reservation, but was rejected. I was told to come early to secure a table because there was a group booking. At exactly 6:00 PM, I arrived at the restaurant. It was incredibly crowded, and many food items weren't being replenished. A waiter suggested I come back after 7:30 PM. Okay, I accepted. I called my family members and told them to come after 7 PM. 2. At 7:10 PM, we went back to the restaurant and finally got a table. Then, something even worse happened: there was nothing to eat. Plates were empty. We were given four lobster coupons, but we couldn't find any lobsters anywhere??????? In the end, we didn't get any. The plates were empty, the grill was empty. Okay, we waited, until almost 9 PM. We mainly ate noodles, fruit, and air, and felt full. We didn't want to make a scene and spoil our mood further. The table next to us was complaining. So, I advise anyone planning to have the Mission Hills buffet dinner soon: don't choose it. You'd be better off going to Mission Hills New Town for other dining options. 4. Regarding breakfast, has the quality declined? What happened to Mission Hills' standards? Besides the rooms and hotel facilities, which are still familiar, the F&B is simply a disaster. I apologize, but I'm still angry thinking about it now. I suggest checking out the Sanzhengyue buffet dinner. It's similarly priced at over 200 RMB per person, also full, but the food quality is consistently good. Finally, on the check-out day, I met a short-haired female manager in the lobby and couldn't help but voice my complaints. I'm grateful that someone listened. So, ultimately, I'm giving a 5-star rating, which is for the hotel staff, the excellent service staff. They definitely deserve praise. Oh, and the late-night sweet soup was fantastic."

Lavande Hotels (Haikou East High-Speed Rail Station)

"Good service. Nice and clean accomodations. Highly recommendable hotel."

the Langham Haikou

"When I came to Haikou, I booked The Langham so I could go for a run in the morning. My last stay at a Langham was in Shanghai, and just like there, the lobby had a lovely, welcoming scent. The hotel lobby is on the 40-something floor. The room decor is typical British style. The location is excellent; you step right out into Wanlv Park, perfect for a morning run in the 'oxygen bar.' You can even run all the way to the seaside near Yundong, which is very pleasant. It's not far from Free Bay, and there's also MixC nearby, so finding food isn't an issue. The only downsides are that the gym is a bit small and the equipment is quite old. Hotels seem to be cutting corners these days. All the toiletries are in large dispensers, and the water provided is just standard, but there's plenty of it. Regardless, the location is superb. There's construction happening next door by China Resources, so if your room isn't in a good spot, it might be noisy."
