Boutique Hotels in Hainan, China

For my Sanya vacation this time, I stayed at the Banyan Tree Sanya for two nights. Although it was my second stay, the scenery, dining, and service here are still top-notch, making it perfect for a quiet getaway. The villa was comfortable and private, with its own pool, so I could take a dip anytime. In the early morning, before the sun got too strong, I enjoyed a stroll along the beach with a pleasant breeze. In the evenings, I preferred sitting on the outdoor lounge chair in my room, enjoying the surprisingly dry mountain breeze – unlike the usual humid stickiness often found in Sanya. Just sitting there, doing nothing, was incredibly enjoyable. The hotel's dining was also excellent. Local specialties like Hainanese noodles and Hou'an noodles were very authentic, and the freshly squeezed juices, fruits, and pastries were all of good quality. I was very satisfied with the food during my stay. The entire resort only has a few dozen villas, and the landscaping and housekeeping are meticulously maintained. The environment is quiet, and there are plenty of service staff. Special thanks to my butler, Henry He, who was incredibly responsive and efficient throughout my stay, providing professional and thoughtful service.

A Hidden Gem in the Mountains – Huge Thanks to Lan Tingting! Our stay at Narada Resort & Spa Qixian Mount was absolutely fantastic. The location is stunning – right in the rainforest with breathtaking mountain views and the sound of nature all around. The highlights: · Exceptional Staff – A huge shoutout to Lan Tingting, who was an absolute lifesaver. She was available via WeChat around the clock and helped us with every single question and request we had. What made it even better was that she spoke excellent Russian, which made communication so easy and personal. · Private hot spring villas – soaking in natural hot spring water on our own terrace was pure bliss. · Great food – the breakfast buffet was divine, with an incredible variety to suit all tastes. The combination of stunning nature, comfortable rooms, and outstanding service made our trip truly memorable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and unique escape!🌿

Today is our second day here, and we chose a package with breakfast and hot springs. We even got mooncakes! We played golf during the day and relaxed in the hot springs at night – it was so peaceful and quiet. The breakfast spread was also excellent. Maybe it's the off-season since school just started, but there weren't many guests. After playing golf, the front desk lady recognized us right away, which was a wonderful feeling. Haha, it felt just like coming home. We'll definitely be back to stay and play golf here again.

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.

Achieved 'private pool freedom' in Yalong Bay, and the Thai-style villa was absolutely stunning! Coming to Sanya, staying in a villa is a must! This time, I stayed in the Pullman's Thai-style Deluxe Pool Villa, and it completely exceeded my expectations! 🏡Ambiance: As soon as I entered the room, I was blown away by the massive private pool. It's a truly private, standalone space, surrounded by lush greenery, giving off a strong Southeast Asian resort vibe. It's fantastic for photos! Getting to the beach requires walking through the Marriott's side for a few hundred meters. The water in Yalong Bay is truly crystal clear. 🏊♂️Facilities: The villa space is very generous, and the wet/dry separation is excellent. The bathtub is right by the window, so you can enjoy the view while bathing. The private pool water was very clean, and it was incredibly comfortable to play in the water this season. I spent a whole day in the water and didn't want to get out. 🍽️Dining & Service: The hotel breakfast offered a rich variety and tasted good. The butler service was very thoughtful; any issues during my stay were responded to quickly, and they even helped arrange buggy transfers. 🌟Summary: Although I booked using a voucher, the service was absolutely not compromised. If you're looking for a quiet, private getaway where you can fully enjoy swimming, Pullman Yalong Bay is definitely the top choice. The experience was absolutely perfect!

St. Regis Grand Deluxe King Room with Full Ocean View The room was at the end of the hallway, a bit far from the lobby, but quite convenient for getting to the pool and beach. The room felt super luxurious. The slippers were comfortable, and the toothbrush was good. However, I wasn't used to the pillows as they lacked support, and there was a slight issue with the lighting, which the butler was actively trying to fix. The service was excellent! From the doormen to the front desk, the butler, and even the activity staff, everyone was great. The butler, in particular, was able to meet most of our requests. The balcony view was fantastic! The ocean view from the top floor of the west wing was stunning, and we even had Hainan mynah birds visiting the balcony, eating fruit and chips – though they did make a bit of a mess. The pool was just okay. While the infinity pool looked great for photos, it wasn't very large, and the water quality could be improved. Breakfast was exceptional! We tried both restaurants. The糟粕醋粉 (Zao Po Cu Fen) at the regular restaurant was quite good. Although the beachfront restaurant was much more upscale and had a great view, the dishes we ordered were all a bit too sweet. Overall, it was an excellent stay. Coming from the Hilton next door, I could feel a clear upgrade; it had a strong resort vibe. Although the price was a bit higher, the complimentary snorkeling and kayaking were definitely worth trying. Hope this review is helpful!

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.

Luhuitou Sanya Resort (in our experience) is a tranquil, quiet place (I believe this may be to do with it being slightly off-peak season). It has a beautiful pool, is an easy 2 minute walk to the beach (bring your water shoes, the entrance to the water is full of rocks/coral) and isn’t too far from town (8 minute Didi). The rooms are large & the couch is big enough for our toddler to nap on. We enjoyed the breakfast on offer (one of the better breakfasts we’ve had) and ate at the Thai restaurant once for dinner. For us, this hotel / resort has the perfect balance of rest, relaxation & amenities! From the fact the room came with international power adapters, a surprise cake for my husbands birthday (which was totally unexpected) and a room upgrade provided by Emmy on reception. It’s the small details the sometimes make the most impact & they don’t go unnoticed ♥️

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.

Years ago, I passed by Junlan but couldn't stay there. This time, I finally got to experience the Junlan I'd been longing for during my trip to Hainan. The room was clean and tidy, and my family and I had such a great time swimming in the pool right outside our door. The hotel provides golf cart service, which is very convenient. When the weather is good, the public pools are absolutely stunning. Lounging by the beach, watching the waves, is another kind of joy! The hotel's breakfast was delicious, and the Chinese restaurant also had great food at reasonable prices. We tried a highly-rated restaurant outside the hotel that we found on Dazhong Dianping, but the food there was nowhere near as good as the hotel's. Oh, and the hotel's shower gel and lotion smell wonderful!
