📍 No. 35, Dazhenling Lane, Yuya Road, Jiyang District, Sanya

"This is a courtyard-style hotel, beautifully situated halfway up the mountain. Robert checked us in with excellent and incredibly patient service, explaining all the hotel facilities and nearby attractions. I was extremely pleased with the room upon entering; it was wonderfully cool and comfortable because the air conditioning had been turned on in advance. The room was also very spacious, and the cleanliness was top-notch. Any service we needed was promptly delivered by staff, and even our takeaways were brought to the room by a robot! The hotel felt very safe and secure. I saw a swimming pool below my room, but unfortunately, my itinerary was too packed to enjoy it. I would definitely stay here again if I get the chance."

We stayed in a family suite with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which was perfect. The location is fantastic, with tons of restaurants nearby and it's also very close to Dadonghai. We had a wonderful experience! The specialty hotpot on the second floor was delicious, though a little pricey."

MGM Grand Sanya

"We stayed at this hotel at the end of August. The weather was bad; swimming in the sea was closed, so we swam in the pool. The pool is large but very shallow. We enjoyed the evening performance. We had a two-room suite. There were two toilets in each room, but only one bathroom/shower—not very convenient. The room had a coffee maker, kettle, mugs, glasses, and a corkscrew. Eight bottles of water were replenished daily. The breakfasts were very good, with a wide selection of dishes, drinks, and desserts. The hotel area is big and nice especially in evenings.The staff was friendly, and if possible, they check you in before 3 pm. There are lockers for food delivery. We liked everything, but the hotel is geared towards families with small children and can be noisy."

There are five pools, and we spent all three nights soaking in them. Our kids had a blast and didn't even want to leave the hotel. You can walk from the public lawn and pools directly to the beach in less than five minutes, and the sea views are beautiful!"

"The room was absolutely fantastic 👍 - clean, bright, and had that fresh, new hotel feel everywhere. The service was incredibly thoughtful; we could easily request the hotel's electric buggy for transportation anytime. Breakfast offered a great variety, catering to all sorts of needs. The kids loved the pool and the activities, and the pink sand beach was quite unique. It's just a short walk to the beach, making it a perfect spot for families. Both check-in and check-out came with little gifts for the children, which really made them happy and added to the overall positive experience!"

Pearl River Garden Hotel Sanya

"We feel your hotel offered the best service, kid-friendliness, and dining experience among all the hotels we stayed at during our 15-day trip to Hainan. My daughter had a wonderful time here. The environment, hygiene, and entertainment options were also among the best, especially when compared to other star-rated hotels like Sheraton that we've stayed at. We will definitely choose your hotel again when we visit Dadonghai next time. Just a small suggestion: it would be great if the breakfast buffet could offer some seafood like shrimp and crab, as it's a coastal city. I didn't seem to see any seafood during breakfast these past two days. Also, you might consider providing disposable toilet seat covers, so guests have the option to use them after disinfection. Finally, a big thank you to our butler Jasmine for her thoughtful service. [Applaud] [Thumbs up] [Thumbs up]"

Sanya Tiancheng Belmont Oceanview Suite Hotel ★★★★★
"The room was spacious with two bathrooms, perfect for traveling with kids and grandparents. The service was excellent; when our taxi dropped us off at the neighboring Bellmond, a welcoming staff member kindly escorted us to our hotel and even helped with our luggage all the way to our room. The service truly was impeccable, and having a dedicated butler made it even more personalized. Our room had a fantastic and expansive sea view. Unfortunately, due to overcast weather, we didn't get to see a spectacular sunset, but we were still very satisfied. The hotel is super close to the First Market, which was great for experiencing the lively night market. Lastly, I have to rave about the kids' club! It's on par with those professional play centers like 'Mouerbao' (referring to popular kids' play places). Many staff members supervise the children, allowing them to play independently. The food prices inside were also quite reasonable. Staying at this hotel and having access to such a great kids' club was incredibly good value; we spent three days playing non-stop. Highly recommended for families who want a relaxing stay while their kids have fun!"

Atlantis Sanya ★★★★★
"I chose Atlantis Sanya for my husband's birthday celebration, and the hotel's service truly exceeded my expectations. Besides the birthday decorations, complimentary cake, and small gifts, the hotel butler, Xiaoxueyu (小鳕鱼), was incredibly thoughtful. She anticipated my needs even before I did. On the morning of our departure, she still asked if there was anything else I needed, and offered to arrange a packed breakfast if I was leaving early. It was truly heartwarming. Aside from the excellent butler service, the restaurant staff within the hotel were also wonderful. For example, at Poseidon Bay Lobby Bar, I wanted a chocolate cake, but it was sold out. The staff member was very kind; she immediately asked the kitchen if they could make one on the spot, though it would take about 45 minutes. Since I had plans afterward, I didn't get it. However, her gesture made me feel very respected. The water park was also a lot of fun, and the facilities were well-maintained and still felt new and clean. At the very least, the restrooms in the park were clean. The aquarium and the dolphin meet-and-greet are definitely worth visiting. It's crazy how many facilities one hotel has. Atlantis Sanya has many restaurants. Honestly, there are options for every budget. For more affordable dining, you can go to the food court-like area. If not, the hotel even has a takeout spot for guests to order food. The hotel also has Tea Live and Ba Wang Cha Ji, which is very good. I tried the Saffron seafood buffet, and there was so much food! It was crazy to see a whole fish freshly steamed. The fresh seafood selection wasn't extensive in terms of variety, but there were many different types of shrimp, crabs, and shellfish. The cooked food options were also plentiful. There was seafood congee, many cooked seafood dishes, and I would be even happier if there were more dessert choices. I look forward to more new things and different experiences on my next visit."

Four Seasons Ocean Courtyard Hotel Sanya ★★★★★
"Overall, we had a great stay at the hotel. The staff were responsive and helpful whenever we encountered any issues. Our room was very clean and spacious. We had a great view facing the 鹿回头 hill and the piers. We had challenge with the TV as it was difficult to get a normal channel to watch. The breakfast selection was fairly average—not the highlight of our stay, but still acceptable. Despite these minor issues, we enjoyed our stay overall. The service was good, and the staff's prompt response to our concerns made for a pleasant experience. I would still recommend this hotel to others."

"This hotel is nestled in the mountains, offering breathtaking views with lush greenery everywhere. However, it might be a bit challenging for guests with mobility issues due to the steps leading to the rooms. The service was prompt; when a small gecko appeared in our room at night, the staff quickly came to catch it and release it outside. They even lit mugwort to repel insects."

The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay ★★★★★
"Before I went, I was worried that the villa rooms would be old and musty since the hotel has been operating for nearly 20 years. However, upon arriving at the villa, the room was much better than I expected, with no musty smell at all. The butler, Leo, was excellent and the hotel shuttle was available on call for transportation. The check-in experience was fantastic. Next time I come to Yalong Bay, I will definitely stay at The Ritz-Carlton again. 😊"
