Boutique Hotels in Hainan, China

This is my second stay at the Meilan Airport Hotel. I checked in a night early from Lingshui because I had an early morning flight from Haikou to Singapore. **Service:** The hotel's airport shuttle starts at 4:30 AM. I took the 5 AM shuttle to T2, which was very convenient. My 7:30 AM flight meant I didn't have to rush to the airport too early. **Environment:** The hotel has many rooms and a 'U' shaped corridor. The room I got was a good distance from the elevator. It's also not far to walk to the high-speed train station, about a 10-minute walk. If you arrive late at night, some guests can be quite loud and inconsiderate, making it a bit noisy. **Cleanliness:** It was quite clean, with disposable slippers and separate slippers for the shower. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, and bottled toiletries are provided, so you don't need to bring your own. **Facilities:** Bottled water is provided, and you can choose your pillow. The bed's firmness was just right. For an overnight stay near the airport, this is my top choice. In the morning, I checked out early and, in my haste, left my phone charger in the room. I only realized I'd forgotten it at airport security. I called the hotel front desk, and they kindly held onto it for me. I picked it up when I returned from Singapore. Many thanks to them!

Excellent Stay | Haikou Hualuxe Intercontinental: The Two-Bedroom Suite is a Must-Book! This time, I checked into the Haikou Hualuxe Intercontinental and stayed consecutively in a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom ocean-view suite. It truly deserves five stars! 🌊 The hotel is incredibly close to the sea with stunning views. You can walk to the mall in 5 minutes, where you can find all sorts of authentic Hainanese local specialties – so convenient. My favorite perk was the breakfast! You get access to both the executive lounge upstairs and the coffee shop downstairs, offering a wide variety of choices that don't repeat. No need to queue, and you can enjoy authentic Hainanese flavors, which instantly boosts your happiness. The service was top-notch throughout; the staff were enthusiastic and attentive, always ready to help, making for a very comfortable experience. The two-bedroom suite is perfect for families or friends traveling together; the space is ample and thoughtfully decorated. The one-bedroom suite offers privacy and comfort, with incredibly soft and comfortable bedding that guarantees a great night's sleep. The surrounding environment is quiet yet convenient. Overall, the experience was perfect, and the value for money is excellent. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Haikou!

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 night view was absolutely stunning! The bed was huge and incredibly comfortable, and the bedding was so soft. There was plenty of space on the vanity, and the toiletries smelled lovely. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. I accidentally left something behind when checking out, and the front desk immediately called us to let us know – they were so efficient and on top of it. I'd definitely choose this hotel again!

The environment is clean and the location is easy to find, just a ten-minute drive from the airport. The decor is also new. It's my top choice for value for money, and perfect as a temporary stopover for a flight the next day. Students and those on a budget who still want quality accommodation can't go wrong with this place. It's also suitable for families with kids staying long-term, as there's a dedicated play area for children and a free laundry room. There are parking spaces right outside the entrance. Great experience, I'll definitely be back!

This hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of Hainan Ocean Flower Island No. 1, with easy walking access to various amusement parks and shopping areas, making it incredibly convenient for exploring. The hotel amenities are excellent, featuring a stunning outdoor pool and a well-equipped fitness center. Plus, the free parking is a huge bonus, with plenty of spaces and even EV charging stations, which is super convenient for those driving. The staff are friendly and the check-in process was efficient and smooth. The attention to detail in their service really enhances the vacation vibe.

I travel for business a lot, and most of the time I choose Hilton. The Hilton Haikou has an excellent location and unbeatable views of the bay. You can see the entire Haikou Bay area, and even the long West Coast. You can enjoy the beautiful sunset from your room. Room service is prompt and thoughtful. There's a big exhibition these days, so it's very crowded, but the hotel's service and reception are well-organized, maintaining its consistently high quality!

After our trip to Shimei Bay, we arrived at the hotel with my entire family, including young children and elderly parents, along with several large suitcases. We were understandably quite tired from the journey. Upon arrival, it was clear that the hotel had a significant shortage of staff both inside and outside the lobby – a stark contrast to Shimei Bay, where service personnel were readily available everywhere. Although there weren't many guests checking in at the time, and the scene wasn't particularly busy, given our large group and numerous bags, I had to proactively request a luggage cart to make things easier. For a resort hotel that prides itself on the guest experience, the initial service response would be much better if it were more proactive and if staffing levels were more adequate. Regarding the room, the promotional pictures I saw when booking showed a sea-facing view with a visible beach. However, the actual view from our room was quite different from what we expected. While we could see the sea in the distance, our primary view was of the hotel's pool area, and the beach wasn't visible at all. The visual impression didn't match the promotional images. During the Chinese New Year period, the hotel organized various activities, some free and some with a charge, which is understandable. However, it was quite surprising to find that even digging for sand crabs on the public beach area required an additional fee. Compared to the hotel we stayed at previously in Shimei Bay, the activity planning here was indeed a bit lackluster. On the bright side, the breakfast was excellent. There was a rich variety of options, especially the Pandan Tofu Pudding, Pandan Pancakes, and various Hainan noodles. These were not only distinctive but also delicious, adding a wonderful culinary delight to our mornings. What truly impressed us was the mature food scene around the hotel. From Coconut Chicken, Wenchang Chicken, Ding'an Jumping Beef (which can be hotpot or BBQ), Baoluo Noodles, Hainan Noodles, to all sorts of desserts and snacks – the choices were incredibly diverse. This added a lot of local flavor and memorable gastronomic experiences to our trip. The hotel's beach area itself was quite good. The sea breeze, sand quality, and the overall experience were very relaxing and comfortable.

Booked this hotel for my parents. The location is great, right in the heart of the old town. It's about a 20-25 minute leisurely walk to Wenchang Old Street. The hotel itself is very new, I heard it's part of the Jinjiang group, and the facilities are quite high-end. The rooms are also spacious and comfortable. My parents said the breakfast was pretty good too. Definitely recommend staying here when visiting Wenchang!

Our overall experience during this stay was fantastic, and I have to give a special shout-out to the front desk service! Check-in was very efficient, no long waits, and the process was super smooth. The staff were professional and reliable, answering all our questions clearly, whether about hotel facilities or local attractions. Their demeanor was excellent, making us feel completely at ease. Any small requests were handled promptly and efficiently, without any unnecessary hassle throughout our stay. The service was thoughtful yet down-to-earth, making us feel really comfortable and leaving us with a great impression. We'll definitely choose this hotel again when we're back in the area; such attentive and efficient front desk service truly adds to the experience. Highly recommend!
