Mountain View Hotels in Sanya

For the same price point, I still recommend Banyan Tree~ Although it opened earlier than other hotels, it wins out by being quiet and free from the noise of those marketing family-friendly hotels. The breakfast running until 12 PM is fantastic, perfect for late risers, and the restaurant is very orderly. While some online reviews mention a limited selection of food, there's no constant turning over of dishes by people, and my child never experienced any stomach discomfort during our nearly week-long stay~ Staff in public areas always greet you, and service response is very prompt~ One evening, we couldn't open the main entrance (likely improperly locked by the turndown service staff). It was already 10:15 PM, and the maintenance staff, seeing us waiting for over 10 minutes with my young child urging to go back to the room to sleep, suggested climbing over the wall to open the door from the inside so we could get back to our room. (The wall had dangerous-looking spikes to prevent climbing). Outside food deliveries are brought to your door by a butler and are quite fast~ The hotel's public beach isn't large, but its waters have a breakwater, so the waves here are much smaller than in other bays. At low tide, you can even pick up small shells and catch small crabs (remember to wear protective gear. A reminder that the area of the hotel beach is a coral protection zone with live coral, so do not go into the water with exposed legs to avoid cuts, and do not step on or turn over corals! Please release any live creatures back into the sea). The sand closer to the water is fine, but further out, there are many mixed broken shells, so children must wear flip-flops or sandals, and socks would make it less uncomfortable. The hotel offers many activities to keep children entertained: aromatherapy candles, coconut shell painting, stringing shell bells, planting coconut seedlings, football, beach volleyball, coffee grounds sand art, painted fans, twisted sticks, and recycled paper bookmarks (daily schedules vary). Some are chargeable~ Since each room has its own pool, we didn't use the public pool. We also rarely saw other guests in the public areas. Mosquito repellent was provided in the room, and we always took mosquito precautions before going out, so we weren't bitten by mosquitoes or other insects throughout our stay~ The greenery in the park is maintained daily by staff. Besides encountering various sizes of snails at night and frogs croaking loudly around the pool (which scurried away frantically when seen), we didn't encounter any scary animals. Finally, when we left, I took a bag of items made by my child in the park~ and shells picked from the beach~ They kept insisting they want to come again next time!

The B&B is beautiful, and the beach is right downstairs, which is super convenient. All the pictures are genuine. It's pet-friendly, and they even deliver food orders right to your room. We booked a family room with two balconies, so hanging clothes didn't obstruct the beautiful view. The customer service staff were also very responsive and helpful with all our questions.

There's a special reason why I chose this hotel again. Ten years ago, I stumbled upon it and ended up vacationing here for two consecutive years. After a decade-long absence, I finally got the chance to return this year, and I'm so glad I did. I booked a two-day, three-night stay, and the entire experience was absolutely delightful. First off, the complimentary breakfast buffet is fantastic. The variety is excellent and everything is fresh, from bread, rice, and congee to tropical fruits. Plus, you get to enjoy your meal with a beautiful ocean view and a refreshing sea breeze – it's incredibly relaxing. Then there are the multiple outdoor swimming pools: the water is crystal clear, and the depth is well-divided, making it perfect for both adults to swim and relax and children to play. In the evenings, they even host an outdoor BBQ feast. What truly stands out is the exclusive beach. The hotel is right on the beachfront, and the sand is fine and soft. It’s wonderfully uncrowded, allowing you to escape the usual tourist hustle. You can simply enjoy the ocean, take photos, or go for a swim, all with dedicated lifeguards ensuring your safety. Furthermore, the hotel grounds are lush with tropical greenery, featuring all sorts of exotic plants and flowers, perfect for leisurely strolls. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the staff are courteous and attentive, making you feel completely immersed in the vacation spirit. It's definitely worth recommending. I'll be working hard to save up so I can come back to the Sheraton Sanya next year!

This was my first time vacationing in Sanya. The day before, I stayed at another hotel that was more value for money, but after that, we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton. We were greeted by the very lovely Xiao Die~ Her service was absolutely outstanding; she spoke softly and was able to accommodate all our requests. She even helped me sort out a room booking error. For our wedding anniversary, they surprised us with a small cake. When I mentioned I wasn't used to a soft bed, she even arranged for the housekeeping staff to change it to a harder mattress. As for the hotel itself, being an older, established hotel, it does have a slightly aged feel, but the cleanliness was impeccable. They cleaned the room several times a day. My jewelry was on the table, and the staff would thoughtfully place a towel underneath it, which was a very nice touch. And I have to say, they were incredibly generous with bottled water – you could just grab one anytime, which was a fantastic experience. No need to call and wait for more to be delivered after finishing one. The public areas are absolutely gorgeous and very close to the sea, just a short walk away. The complimentary travel photoshoot turned out beautifully. Our package also included sea fishing, which was definitely worth trying; even as beginners, we easily caught seven or eight fish. The hotel offers many activities, so you can sign up for different ones each day and never get bored even if you don't leave the hotel. Finally, the breakfast, to be honest, was a bit disappointing. The variety was limited, and the quality was just average, not even as good as the Shangri-La Qingdao in Shandong during the off-season for 600-700 RMB. The 1000 RMB hotel we stayed at the day before had a similar level of breakfast. However, you can't beat the beautiful public areas, proximity to the sea, and the absolutely unparalleled service. The extra money spent definitely shows where it goes. Excellent, I'll be back next time!

Our stay was greatly enhanced by Gina. The room was spotlessly clean, including the bedding, and the overall environment was quiet and comfortable. All the facilities were well-maintained. Gina's service was gentle and polite, and her attention to detail was exceptional. Any requests were addressed promptly. Due to Sanya's subtropical climate, the room always felt a bit humid, but Gina understood the situation and quickly resolved it, also providing some helpful conveniences, which we really appreciated. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient for dining and getting around. Overall, the value for money is good, and you can see the hotel's dedication in many small details. Just for Gina, it deserves a five-star rating! [Strong][Strong][Strong]

Yalong Bay Mangrove Tree Resort is probably one of the hotels with the best service in Sanya. This trip, it rained in Sanya, which initially made me a bit emotional. Luckily, we had our beautiful and kind butler, Coral, who provided thoughtful and attentive service throughout – a huge thank you to her! The sea in the Mangrove Tree area seems to have smaller waves, making it relatively safer. Even with a light drizzle, it didn't stop us from swimming in the ocean, which is exactly why we came to Sanya. We spent a whole afternoon playing yesterday and didn't get too sunburnt, it was excellent! The hotel breakfast had a great variety, and the fruits were plentiful and fresh, which I was very satisfied with! We've already moved to our second hotel now, and it's day one of missing Coral…

My friends and I stayed for five days, and it exceeded our expectations overall! The cleaning was incredibly thorough, every corner was spotless. The villa's environment was serene, with a stunning mountain view, and the private hot tub was perfect for photos. The three bedrooms and one living room offered ample space, and it was fully equipped with appliances and kitchenware, making it convenient for both travel and daily living. The butler was very responsive, and the service was warm and attentive. It's excellent value for money, highly recommended for groups traveling together!

The hotel building is supposedly the newest wing of the old BAO Hotel across the street where those staying in the Shanghai Huating Boutique must go for breakfast. We waited 25 minutes to check as there was one desk agent serving one customer although after 2pm. The other staff agent appeared after 3pm. We were required to pay a refundable 500 RMB deposit and after checking into our room, God only knows what anyone would take from the room that was worth 500 RMB. Old not ironed bed linen, rusted garbage can, rusted balcony sink, old clean bathroom towel, old kitchen appliances which only the refrigerator was plugged in to work. The room condition (walls, floors, tiles, fixtures, etc) of the 8 years old hotel that opened in 2018 is far worse than it should be unless they used old materials to build. The option to PAY MORE for an “ocean view” is not worth it. After complaining that my room had a “pool view” AND I didn’t get the “ocean view” room I had PREPAID for, I was told I could change to another room that had an ocean view the NEXT DAY (because all of the 2 twin bedrooms with “ocean view” were already occupied for the day. But after I was shown the only room that had a view of the unsightly harbor/ocean which came with an old hard king size mattress and in worse condition than my 2 twin beds room, I decided not to move to another room BECAUSE after viewing the other available rooms where guests had checked out, there were none any better to justify packing up and moving to another old room. I contacted Trip.com, but because the cancellation period for THIS hotel expired the day before arrival, thus not allowing a chance to view the room before accepting the room at checkin. This is a red flag 🚩 as a hotel with pride & confidence in its products & service would allow the cancellation to extend to AT LEAST to 2-4pm on the planned checkin date especially at a famous beach resort (DaDongHai) during the 15 days long Chinese New Year’s holiday. So, no chance to change hotels UNLESS I was willing to forfeit $487.47. Also, I should mention the ants that appeared on the kitchenette counter EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO FOOD on the counter, only my coffee cup that I washed and left on the counter to dry. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT MY STAY AT THIS “DESPERATELY NEED OF A PROPER RENOVATION” HOTEL IS THE ONE MORNING FEMALE DESK AGENT THAT ASSISTED ME A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MORNING AND A HOUSEKEEPING LADY SO, I GAVE BOTH A GOOD LUCK RED ENVELOPE 🧧 AS IT WAS THE CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY. If I go back to Da Dong Hai, I will DEFINITELY LOOK for a better hotel for my usually desired 5-10 days Sun & Beach vacation.

The environment is very good. My family is very satisfied. The room is large and clean. The community environment is also very good. It is only a 10-minute walk from the beach, which is very convenient. The living facilities in the room are complete and suitable for living. There is a swimming pool outside the house. The scenery is very good. The surrounding transportation is also very convenient. It is very comfortable to live~

Best see view ! The rooms are very clean, the cleaning staff are very helpful and friendly. The swimming pools are great and just by the beach. The restaurant has plenty of options for breakfast. There are stores and a bar on the second floor ” reception” with a wonderful view to the beach and swimming pools. Definitely a recommended place.
