Beach Hotels in Hainan, China

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 hotel definitely stands out as the face of Ocean Flower Island. It's located right at the entrance to the island, and its iconic twin towers are truly magnificent, offering a visual feast without even needing to leave the building. Plus, the hotel's location is super convenient. **Facilities:** The room was incredibly spacious and bright, with a modern minimalist design. The facilities were very new, the bedding was pristine and comfortable, and the cleanliness was spotless. The bathroom was also very large, and the separate wet and dry areas were a thoughtful touch. **Service:** We checked in around noon on March 11th. The front desk lady was exceptionally warm and professional, making the check-in process efficient. She also thoughtfully provided us with a guide to exploring the island and even upgraded our room. A special thank you to the front desk lady for her service, and the bellhops were also fantastic.

We chose Ocean Flower Island specifically for the Oceana Resort, which boasts over 5,000 rooms. The visual impact was truly stunning; everything felt so grand and luxurious. Our room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable. The breakfast at the restaurant was varied, and we could even choose our preferred breakfast slot, which was super convenient for those of us who like to sleep in. The hotel also offers a free shuttle bus to the high-speed train station and a little sightseeing train that makes it easy to explore Island 1. All in all, the Oceana Resort is definitely the top choice when visiting Ocean Flower Island!

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.

The environment here is really good, small but beautiful. The staff are all very friendly and don't seem like they're just going through the motions. We were in room 915, and the interior design was excellent; my family loved it. I have two suggestions for improvement: 1. You can hear loud conversations in the hallway very clearly from inside the room. Perhaps guests could be reminded about this during check-in. It's a matter of guest etiquette (some people were even smoking in the hallway). 2. The free electronic games in the kids' game room are great, but it would be even better if there were more non-screen play facilities, as too much screen time isn't good for kids' eyes. Things like a ball pit or a basketball hoop game would be perfect. Also, there weren't quite enough building blocks. Overall, it's excellent value for money, and the price was fantastic!

Our trip to Sanya led us to the Pullman Sanya Bay Oceanview Resort, and we were absolutely delighted by the service from our butler, Lily, throughout our stay. She deserves a huge shout-out! Even before we checked in, Lily proactively reached out, offering thoughtful reminders about our itinerary and helping us secure a high-floor ocean view room. The moment we opened the window, we were greeted by the stunning sunset over Coconut Dream Corridor – the view was absolutely breathtaking. During check-in, she was with us every step of the way, patiently explaining the hotel's facilities and even presenting us with welcome fruits and a small gift. Our room was spotless, and the separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom were a thoughtful touch. The mini-fridge and high-end toiletries were all there, and Lily even went the extra mile to bring us soft bathrobes – truly, every detail was perfect. Just a 30-meter stroll brought us to the private beach, where the sand was incredibly fine. Watching the sunset there in the evening was incredibly therapeutic. The 2100㎡ outdoor pool features a kids' splash area, and our little one had an absolute blast. Lily was always on hand to help take photos, offer water, and even proactively recommended some authentic local seafood restaurants, which saved us from many potential tourist traps. Breakfast at the Fuwan Restaurant offered an incredibly wide selection, and the freshly made Hainanese Yi Mian soup was absolutely delicious. Children under 1.2 meters eat for free, which was a huge relief for us traveling with a child. At checkout, Lily helped us with our luggage and even gave us a souvenir. Her service was efficient and gentle throughout, making us feel like we were with a friend. Overall, the experience was perfect – the location, facilities, and service were all impeccable. A special thank you to our butler, Lily, for her exceptional dedication! We'll definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Sanya. Highly recommended!

This is one of those hotels I *had* to leave a glowing review for. Honestly, given the price, I wasn't expecting much, and Wyndham hasn't always impressed me in the past. But from the moment I stepped out of the car, Mr. He from the concierge team rushed over to open the door and help with my luggage, greeting me so warmly. When I mentioned wanting to go to the gym, he even took me there to show me around first. And then there were Xiao Jun at the front desk and Raja from India – their service was absolutely outstanding, so professional and enthusiastic. These were just three staff members I encountered, but everyone else was equally excellent. The location is also top-notch, right by the sea, and the cleanliness is great too. Purely from an experience perspective, it felt no different from hotels I've stayed at costing thousands a night. Definitely the best hotel in Wenchang, no competition.

The sea-view room boasts breathtaking scenery, and the room itself was spotlessly clean with no strange odors. The facilities were complete and modern, the environment was quiet and comfortable, and the service was warm and attentive. It offers excellent value for money and is definitely worth another visit!

The view is excellent, overlooking the bay between Baimajing and Island No. 2. You can walk to the beach opposite. There are many restaurants downstairs, including a self-service hot pot for 28 yuan, a Lawson convenience store that can meet most needs, and two large supermarkets nearby. The swimming pool is the one in the residential area opposite. Its shape is similar to the one in the main picture, but it's not surrounded by sand; it's an outdoor swimming pool in the residential area. The water looked very clean, but it was a bit cold those days, so we didn't use it. There are free buses on the island, and the bus stop is a few minutes' walk away. The internet is stable. If you don't need to cook, staying for a few days is a great option.

We stayed in a garden room on the first day and were recommended Alalei the butler's WeChat. On the second day, we booked a sea-view room, and the service was excellent. They proactively arranged value-added services for us. The breakfast was superb, and they helped us book the buffet dinner. Any requests we had for the room were promptly fulfilled, which was great. The complimentary desserts were also a delightful touch. After moving into the sea-view room, it felt a bit damp, but they helped us dry and change the bedding and added a dehumidifier, and the issue was resolved. We had a pretty good rest afterward.
