Boutique Hotels Sanya

I chose the Banyan Tree for its private pool for this trip, and both the environment and service exceeded my expectations. We avoided the holiday crowds, and the hotel was tranquil. Apart from breakfast and afternoon tea, we barely saw other guests, so the privacy was excellent. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful and attentive to every request. They even offered us herbal jelly and a late check-out. The breakfast quality was also good, and being able to dine until noon was perfect for us late rispers. The complimentary photography session offered by the hotel was also great; the photographer was very professional and had a great attitude, and the photos turned out beautifully. I'll definitely come back if I have the chance.

Our butler, Chris, provided excellent service. He helped us choose a room with a fantastic view, offering a great sea vista. Plus, the balcony was shaded all day, which we really appreciated. The hotel was quiet, and dining wasn't crowded. The shaded pool was a nice experience; most of the water was out of direct sunlight in the afternoon. The main pool would be even better if it were a bit deeper and larger. We also tried sea fishing and diving this time. Compared to similar activities we've done before, boarding the boat directly from the hotel's pier was incredibly convenient and saved a lot of time. If you're not too picky about water quality or the variety of coral and fish, it's definitely worth doing while you're there.

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.

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.

Room: I highly recommend the standalone villa with a private pool. It has its own courtyard, and the sliding door from the balcony opens directly to the pool. The bathroom window overlooks a patio with greenery, making for a superb living environment. The bathroom is very spacious with a double vanity, perfect for two people to get ready simultaneously. Breakfast: Served until 12 PM, with both buffet and à la carte options. This is ideal for families with kids who like to sleep in during summer vacation, allowing for a late brunch after waking up. Environment: The hotel has extensive green areas. It was a short walk from our room (8831) to the beach. The public swimming pool was closed for use during our stay, so if your room doesn't have a pool, you'd need to go to the Rihwa side. Surroundings: Getting to Rihwa by golf cart is very convenient. Next to it is the Wanda Cinema, where we caught ”Odyssey” and ”Eight Immortals” two days in a row (wouldn't have time to watch these if we weren't on vacation!).

Environment: This is a villa area, and the accommodation environment is quite good. For dining, you need to contact the butler, who will arrange an electric cart to take you to the lobby. From there, you can take a taxi to nearby places like Joy City. The interior of the house is excellent. We stayed in a three-bedroom unit. The house features an internal elevator. The second floor has a dining room, a bedroom, a living room, a maid's room, and a bathroom. The first floor boasts a large master bedroom, a slightly smaller bedroom, and another living room. The first floor also has direct access to a swimming pool and hot spring. Overall, it's very suitable for a family vacation or a group of friends. The accommodation conditions are excellent.

Our stay at the Pullman Sanya Yalong Bay Villas & Resort far exceeded our expectations. The hotel boasts a rich Southeast Asian garden design, with beautiful scenery at every turn – perfect for stunning photos. Our villa was spacious and comfortable with excellent natural light, a private pool, and an independent courtyard, offering superb privacy. The room details were also well thought out, with a good separation of wet and dry areas and complete amenities. The front desk service was very attentive! Upon checkout, I experienced a hand care treatment. The therapist was professional and gentle, making the whole process very relaxing. Afterwards, my hands were noticeably softer and more delicate. Being able to pamper my hands during a vacation was a huge bonus. The hotel's dining was equally excellent, with both breakfast and dinner offering delicious flavors befitting a five-star property. The Chinese restaurant served authentic and exquisite dishes. The hotel also provides shuttle services that cover the entire property. In terms of service, from luggage delivery to the room to proactively assisting with luggage upon departure, every detail made us feel warm and welcomed. Highly recommended for couples and families seeking privacy and comfort!

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.

This hotel has been around for many years, and the views are good. Facilities: Average Cleanliness: Decent Environment: Good Service: Not as good as before. As a long-time returning guest, they used to always give me a free room upgrade whenever the room types weren't too tight. Now, with the company change, the service is different. Their tone is stiff and unhelpful. All in all, very disappointed.
