YYaochilanguI stayed at Atlantis The Palm over ten years ago and was truly amazed by its grandeur. So, I had high expectations for the one in Haitang Bay. This hotel is a comprehensive resort where you can find everything you need for dining, entertainment, and activities. It's especially great for families with kids. If you love water activities, I recommend staying for three consecutive days.
**Environment:** The beach isn't as good as Yalong Bay, and it definitely can't compare to The Palm. But if you're not planning on going to the beach, it's not a big deal. There were tons of activities during the National Day holiday. The Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium are both fantastic, and you can enter multiple times daily with facial recognition, which is super convenient.
The room was spacious, stylish, and comfortable, with a partial sea view. We experienced a typhoon during our stay, and it was interesting to watch the sea slowly change from murky yellow back to blue. However, there was too much trash on the beach.
**Facilities:** The air conditioning wasn't very strong, not as powerful as InterContinental, and couldn't reach the set temperature. I only got a good night's sleep after switching to a thinner duvet. Also, since this is a water-themed hotel, we sometimes changed swimsuits three times a day. It would be great if there were more swimsuit spin dryers. The toiletries are Ahava, Israel's number one brand, which felt very familiar since I've visited Ahava in Israel.
**Breakfast:** There are two breakfast restaurants, Saffron and Kaleidoscopic. The variety is abundant, with many Hainan specialties. Today, I even saw a coffee latte art machine, though the staff seemed to be still learning how to use it. The hotel also has many other restaurants, offering options for lunch and dinner to suit all budgets.
**Pools:** There are two outdoor pools. The family pool is open until 10 PM, but the bottom had too much debris, which hurt my feet. The Royal Pool, which is also the infinity pool, closed at 7:30 PM. It's a great spot for photos.
**Service:** The butler service was incredibly convenient. Upon arrival, we received a series of tips, and any issues could be directly communicated to Coral, who responded quickly. For example, she helped with checking the air conditioning and replacing the duvet.
