Beach Hotels in Sanya

As a Hilton loyalist of over a decade, I've completely fallen in love with this property ❤️ 📖 First, the bottom line: I stayed at the Yalong Bay Hilton 15 years ago, but it was easily beaten by this trip to The Renhe (Hilton Sanya Haitang Bay Resort) 🥹. If you're coming mainly for ocean views and beaches, I wouldn't recommend Haitang Bay. The evening scenery and activities are pretty average, not as lively as Yalong Bay. There are some bugs on the beach and in the rooms, so you need to be mindful of that ‼️ Food options are somewhat limited, not as diverse as what you'll find in Yalong Bay. Yalong Bay also has those coconut ice creams I've been dreaming about; 💁♀️ The service is wonderfully comfortable. If your priority is a comfortable stay, you can book The Renhe without hesitation. The kids' activities are exceptionally rich—from customized children's room keys to the variety at the kids' club, it's unmatched by other hotels, and my child had an absolute blast. The water temperature at the 15th-floor infinity pool is very warm, and with some kid's floaties, the little one had a whale of a time. The children's water park is a bit small; there's a giant tipping bucket that dumps water, which hurts if it hits you on the head, so it's not very friendly for toddlers. The regular pools on the ground level are just okay; if you want to experience an adult pool 🏊, the 15th-floor one is a great alternative; 🏠 Hotel Location: Haitang Bay, very close to the Duty-Free Shop and Atlantis, and about a 40–50 minute drive from the airport. Room Booked: Ocean View Family Suite (2-Bedroom) with a partial ocean view. During the off-season, using points plus cash brought the total to under 4k. We arrived early and were checked in by 2 PM, which saved us just as the little one was getting sleepy, and we got a late checkout until 1 PM. The cartoon ice pops bought at the lobby were also delicious. Bottled water provided was Baisuishan, and they were very generous—when we asked for water, they just sent up a whole box; 🍃 Inside the Room: Two bedrooms with three large balconies. Sanya usually has very gentle breezes on the roads in October, but this October the weather was a bit too hot, so we didn't get to fully enjoy a comfortable sea breeze on the balcony, and the night view was just so-so. However, it essentially served as a small outdoor play area for the kids; 🍉 A welcome fruit platter and welcome toiletries set were provided upon check-in, and the minibar was complimentary for the first round. Our butler, Lingxiao, was extremely attentive; communicating and interacting with him was thoughtful and very comfortable, and we could reach out anytime if we had questions 👍 The hotel provides both thin and thick bathrobes, which is very convenient, and you can request extra amenities from the front desk as needed. Executive Lounge: 🥤 Afternoon tea is decent; the pastries and juices are a lifesaver against the scorching summer heat. We had hot dinner there twice. If you aren't too picky about food, it completely gets the job done. One of the nights they served roast chicken, which I thought was exceptionally delicious, and the lounge service was also very warm ❤️🔥 The breakfast venue is huge. Every meal featured watermelon juice, which the kids love, along with barista-made coffee. Their freshly ground coffee actually tasted great, with a rich layer of crema on the Americano. I highly recommend the Hainan noodles for breakfast—I had them three meals in a row, delicious every single time. The bread selection is also extensive, and there's a candy station that is a huge hit with the kids; 🍚 Caifeng Lou Chinese Restaurant: We ordered a-la-carte roast duck, sweet and sour pork (the 3-year-old ate a whole plate), and a side of greens. The food tasted fine—totally fine for a convenient meal when you're too tired to go out. Food delivery pickups are located outside on the first floor near the stern area, and they give you an intro guide upon check-in, which is much more convenient than having to ask around like at other hotels. 🍃 Next year, I'm definitely coming back to try the rooms with water slides 🛝. If you're traveling with kids, this hotel is absolute priority #1 ❤️

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.

Our stay at InterContinental Hotels SANYA HAITANG BAY RESORT by IHG was fantastic! The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the duty-free shopping complex. The resort grounds feature a very pleasant environment with coconut groves and lawns, and the private beach is quiet, clean, and offers great ocean views. You can even watch the sunrise over the sea in the morning. The room was spacious and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the hardware facilities were well-maintained. Special thanks to our butler, Zoe! She proactively reached out throughout our stay, responded to any requests very quickly, and patiently helped coordinate and resolve issues. The service was thoughtful and professional, making the whole experience completely hassle-free. The breakfast offered a rich variety of choices, and the pool and public areas are well-equipped. It's an ideal place for a relaxing vacation. I will definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Sanya, highly recommended!

An amazing hotel with a Chinese garden style! Although the wait during check-in was a bit long, I was lucky enough to get the room I wanted. The high floor offered an unbeatable, expansive ocean view! The room is spacious and fully equipped. Welcome fruit was even delivered in the evening. I am so in love with the large balcony and the bathtub—I could just lie here all day listening to the sound of the waves. It has such a strong vacation vibe, hehe! My butler, Fiona, provided meticulous, thoughtful, and enthusiastic service and was always responsive—thumbs up! When I came back from exploring, I found that the housekeeping staff had neatly folded the clothes I had casually left around. That heartwarming gesture really got to me. The breakfast was delicious, and the Zuopogu rice noodles are a must-try! The shuttle service to the pool and beach was also very prompt. Every single detail during my stay was just perfect. I've already fallen in love with Grand Hyatt!

Great for families! Kids can queue up to ride the little train for free as many times as they want. Our butler, Potato, was extremely meticulous and made wonderful arrangements. The public areas are quite spacious, and it's very convenient to get to the beach. You can also walk over to explore the public areas of the neighboring Marriott. The cute pet farm is lovely too. Kids' toiletries and a baby playpen are all provided, which is fantastic. We'll definitely come back next time. A special thanks to our butler, Potato, for packing us breakfast since we had an early flight and would miss breakfast time.

We chose this place as our first stop in Sanya, and it was a wonderful and satisfying experience. We received a complimentary afternoon tea upon check-in, which instantly made us, feeling a bit dazed from our arrival, feel right at home. The pool is huge and quite lively with many guests, especially families with kids. The children went swimming twice a day. The service was attentive, and our butler added us on WeChat beforehand to guide us. The beach is right at the doorstep, with breathtaking sunsets in plain sight. We moved to Yalong Bay on the second day, but we still preferred the peacefulness of Sanya Bay.

The hotel's room facilities are a bit dated, and the toilet is not a smart one. However, the hotel environment is very elegant with a strong tropical southern vibe—you could say the hotel itself is a scenic attraction. The service is also attentive; upon arrival, we added the hotel butler, Coral, on WeChat, and the proactive service was excellent. You can also dial 0 from the room phone, and customer service will gladly help resolve any requests or issues. The hotel is very popular and bustling, with many foreign guests (mostly from Eastern Europe and Russia, it seems). Especially at breakfast, there are so many foreigners in the restaurant that it feels like you've traveled abroad. I will probably stay at the Yalong Bay Mangrove Tree Resort again next time I visit.

Staying at this hotel felt like incredible value for money. The check-in process was fantastic, and the front desk staff, Robert, deserves a big thumbs up. He patiently introduced us to the surrounding shopping malls and attractions, as well as the operating hours for the hotel pool, gym, and restaurant. The room was clean and hygienic, and the bedding was especially comfortable for sleeping. The balcony features a huge bathtub, though unfortunately I didn't get a chance to use it due to the weather. Check-out was handled very efficiently by the staff, and they even gave us a small gift upon departure.

This is probably the best value hotel in Yalong Bay. The sea view is unbeatable. Due to budget constraints, I booked a garden view room, which actually faced the road, but it wasn't noisy for me. If you want to see the sea, just go downstairs. The lobby has a great view, and the beach is right below. ⚠️ The complimentary sea excursion is in Sanya Bay Luhuitou, not directly from the hotel. Make sure to check the itinerary in advance. I wasn't aware of this and didn't have time to go back and forth, so I had to skip it.

This stay with my child exceeded my expectations. Ella's service was incredibly warm and friendly, and we were so lucky to get a room upgrade, which was a wonderful surprise! The hotel offers a fantastic array of children's activities, with bubble parties and craft sessions scheduled non-stop, keeping my child entertained and happy all day long. The restaurant has a wide selection of dishes, and the breakfast was fresh, abundant, and delicious. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall service was thoughtful and attentive, allowing parents to relax while their kids play. It's truly perfect for a family vacation. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Sanya. I wholeheartedly recommend it to families with children.
