Boutique Hotels in Hainan, China

To sum it up, this was a nearly perfect vacation, and in my opinion, if you're looking for a quiet, tranquil, and comfortable resort experience, then Banyan Tree Sanya is the absolute best in Sanya! Beyond these advantages that surpass other hotels, Banyan Tree doesn't skimp on the expected perks of a luxury brand. First, the online claims of outdated facilities are unfounded; everything is in perfect working order. Second, regarding hygiene, even with a private pool villa nestled in the rainforest, I found the cleanliness to be absolutely up to standard! I was also quite satisfied with breakfast, especially the sour and spicy seafood noodles and the egg tarts – absolutely superb! And most importantly, the service. You can tell the front desk and concierge staff are genuinely dedicated; they are very patient and communicate and resolve issues promptly. Since it was our anniversary, they even upgraded our room when available, a big thank you to our butler, Youyou, for this wonderful hospitality! Overall, this trip far exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely satisfied!

Let me start with a conclusion. The Qixianling Anlan Hotel is absolutely perfect for families with children, a great choice for all ages. Firstly, the environment is friendly. Everything you'd experience in a tropical rainforest at Yanoda, you'll find here. Secondly, the service is friendly. They provide electric cart transfers for all your movements, saving you the effort of climbing hills. Thirdly, the comfort of the hot springs. We booked a suite for 4 adults and 1 child, which was perfectly spacious. The indoor hot springs were comfortable and enjoyable, allowing us to relax at our leisure. Fourthly, the activities are abundant. Unlike beach resorts in Sanya, the activities here are suitable for all ages, primarily focusing on Li culture. You can make Li incense, sculpt Li pottery, and they offer guided introductions to tropical plants and Li culture led by Li sisters. They even picked ripe figs for us to eat. For people from the north and children, the experience is truly enriching. Fifthly, the food is excellent. When in Hainan, it's usually vinegar pork or seafood. Here, we enjoyed Li cuisine, including Five-Legged Pig and Flying Chicken, which was the most satisfying meal for me, with the wild vegetable soup being a particular highlight. The whole family enjoyed it immensely, the set meal price was very reasonable, and we added more dishes. Besides the good points, there are some minor drawbacks, mainly that the hotel has been around for some years, so the facilities are a bit outdated. I stayed at Bird's Nest thirteen years ago, but if I had to recommend, I'd suggest Anlan more. You get a similar experience for half the price, and I'd also recommend staying for two nights for a more suitable visit.

This was my first time staying at this hotel. It exceeded my expectations. The pictures of the rooms on trip.com did not look that great but once I opened the door to my room I realised the rooms were very nice, spacious, clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We received great service from Beth in reception ( checked us in very quickly, her English was great) and Eric in the dining area who made our stay delightful.

This was my first stay at the Yalong Bay Metropark Villa Resort. The day before my arrival, our butler, Xiao Zhao, proactively contacted me via WeChat to confirm my itinerary and inquire about any special requests. The hotel is located next to Yalong Bay Golf Course, boasting a beautiful environment with rivers winding through lush greenery. Our room had one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom with a bathtub and kitchen. The courtyard also featured a small separate room with a sofa, air conditioning, and a double bed, comfortably accommodating two people, along with a small tea room. The private pool in the courtyard was a hit with both adults and children. The room attendant, Wang Xiaoyan, brought us water and fresh towels several times a day – excellent service! We dined at the hotel restaurant, enjoying a set meal of coconut chicken and the buffet. Restaurant manager Xu Xiaoling personally greeted us, showing genuine care and even giving a gift to our child – truly thoughtful. Breakfast was served until 11 AM and the food was quite good. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the main road, from where it's about a ten-minute walk to the Yalong Bay public beach. The beach is beautiful, but the jet ski vendors there were quite aggressive, often using megaphones to tell tourists to leave, claiming that area was exclusively for their business and telling people to go play elsewhere.

Choosing St. Regis for our Yalong Bay trip was an excellent decision! Room: The room was incredibly spacious, which was very comfortable. Our butler, Kimi, arranged a Deluxe Ocean View Room for us, and the view was absolutely fantastic! The balcony was very close to the sea. Service: St. Regis's service is truly excellent. Our butler, Kimi, added so much comfort to our trip. A huge thank you to Kimi!!! Activities: St. Regis offers many boating activities for older children. We tried kayaking, and the kids loved it, even catching small crabs! Food: We had both of our meals at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, and it was delicious! The Coral Grouper cooked with *zaopocu* (lees vinegar) was surprisingly good! The breakfast spread was also very rich, and I absolutely loved the *zaopocu* noodles! Will definitely come back next time ❤️❤️❤️

Hygiene: Very clean, and the pool was also well-maintained. Environment: The villa area is huge with lots of plants and trees. The restaurant is lakeside, so you can dine by the lake. Occasionally, there were flying insects and geckos in the room, which is normal for Hainan. Service: The front desk staff were very friendly, and the butler was quick to respond. Since the villa area is so large, you can call for a buggy anytime. Facilities: The pool is large and very comfortable. The doors, windows, tables, and chairs are a bit old but still perfectly functional. The air conditioning works great, although it's a bit noisy.

The room was great, spacious and comfortable. My child had a good long sleep after diving. There are buggies available for transportation, and they also provide ferry tickets. Various water activities come with discounted prices, so it's quite good value for money. The only downside is the restroom on the 4th-floor restaurant, which was a bit dirty, and I don't know why (my daughter) didn't flush it 😮💨. Overall, my child had a blast.

The hotel's location in Xiaodonghai is great. While it's an older property, the facilities are well-maintained, and the rooms exceeded my expectations. It offers good value for money. During holidays, getting to the city center can be slow due to traffic from Luhuitou. I hope the hotel improves its pool management; it's currently subpar. People were in the pool without swim caps and even wearing shoes, which makes you wonder about the water quality. On the plus side, access to the beach is very convenient and close, perfect for families with children. However, Xiaodonghai has many underwater rocks, making it a bit uncomfortable to swim from the shore. The concierge service was excellent – very friendly and proactive in helping with luggage. Also, the breakfast was delicious with good quality offerings, including fresh juice. Overall, it was a good value stay, and I hope the hotel addresses the areas for improvement.

The hotel is nestled at the foot of Qixianling Mountain, boasting a superb environment. The main building is ideal for wheelchair users, and the receptionist was very helpful, upgrading my room. The room even had its own hot spring, which was very convenient and comfortable. The restaurant manager was very welcoming and greeted us proactively; the food was also of good quality. A truly wonderful trip, I would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend Narada Resort & Spa Perfume Bay! The entire resort is made up of individual villas, surrounded by coconut groves, offering excellent privacy. The private beach isn't crowded, and the 88-meter infinity pool creates a fantastic atmosphere. The shuttle service is available on call, making for a very comfortable stay. The travel photographer was great at capturing angles and giving natural posing guidance. The photos from the pool and beach scenes turned out amazing, perfectly capturing all the beautiful moments of a seaside vacation. It's definitely worth another visit!
