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 First, the online claims of outdated facilities are unfounded; everything is in perfect working order.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.

Traveling with a child, I wanted to ensure both my child's comfort and my own, so after a long search, I finally settled on The St. Regis. The room facilities were a bit dated, but the hardware felt luxurious. However, the soft service was absolutely outstanding! Two days before arrival, they confirmed our check-in needs. The day before our trip, our butler Season added me on WeChat to confirm our arrival time. Since my child needed a nap, with Season's help, we were able to check in at noon. He personally escorted us to our room, not just a perfunctory drop-off at the door. He stayed with us, thoroughly explaining the room facilities and where the children's amenities were placed, and only politely left after we confirmed we were completely satisfied with the room! All our requests were quickly attended to, which is so crucial when traveling with kids. A big shoutout to our butler Season – 100 points!

No need to worry about passersby disturbing you while swimming or relaxing here, making it perfect for couples on their honeymoon or families traveling together. The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk directly to Yalong Bay Beach, and it's also a short taxi ride to the commercial street in Baihuagu. The park shuttle is on-call, so you don't have to walk around the property. The rooms are meticulously cleaned, and the room service is incredibly attentive. The hotel facilities are comprehensive: the Lakeside Western Restaurant offers stunning views, and the breakfast buffet has a rich variety, including Chinese, Western, and local Hainanese snacks. There's also a public infinity pool, a gym, and a Thai SPA – you could easily spend all day at the hotel and not want to leave. Today, the staff provided gentle and thoughtful service, responding promptly and quickly addressing our needs. If you're looking for a quiet, private resort villa with its own pool, this is the place to book without hesitation! The complimentary travel photoshoot was excellent; I had trouble choosing because there were so many good options. The photographer was great at guiding our poses, so we didn't feel awkward in front of the camera. The candid shots were natural and lively, no stiff posing required, and the original photos had great quality. The best part was the photo selection process – absolutely no hard selling or pressure to buy more photos. The communication was comfortable and stress-free. There were various packages to choose from across two projects, so you could pick what suited your needs and budget. The entire shoot yesterday was relaxed and unhurried, suitable for couples, families, or friends. Staying in a villa and getting a resort photoshoot done at the same time is convenient and produces great pictures. If you're on vacation and want to create lasting memories, go for it!

My overall experience at the Wuzhizhou Island Coral Hotel was excellent. The hotel is conveniently located, the check-in process on the island was smooth, getting around the island was easy, and the dining facilities were comprehensive, making meals very convenient. Upon arrival, the concierge staff proactively greeted us, thoughtfully helped with our luggage, and provided appropriate and courteous service. During check-in, the front desk staff was patient and meticulous, answering all our questions thoroughly. They also objectively recommended activities and local delicacies based on the island's actual conditions, offering practical travel advice. The restaurant service was impressive; the staff were warm, attentive, and responsive, making for a comfortable dining experience. All staff members provided professional and warm service without being overly formal, consistently demonstrating excellent service etiquette. The island environment is beautiful, and staying at the hotel allows you to avoid the daytime crowds and enjoy tranquil island time. Whether for a relaxing vacation or an island adventure, Coral Hotel is a top choice, and I will prioritize staying here again if I return to Wuzhizhou.

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.

For this trip, I booked two hotels: Narada and Raffles. Narada definitely offered better value for money. Firstly, having a private pool for each villa was incredibly convenient when traveling with kids. Secondly, the service was excellent; staff were basically on call and addressed our needs quickly. Breakfast was also much better than expected. Even though the hotel was fully booked, it still felt uncrowded, making it a very comfortable place for a relaxing hotel vacation. If I had to pick a con, it would be that the hotel's main restaurant was relatively expensive. However, many seafood restaurants nearby offer free pick-up and drop-off within a 5km radius, so it wasn't a major issue.
