Hyatt Regency Hainan Ocean Paradise Resort ★★★★★

"I saw a lot of negative reviews online telling people to avoid this hotel, but I suspect it's just competitors hiring trolls to badmouth them. My kids and I actually thought it was quite good. The room was new and clean. For 1099 RMB, we got tickets for two adults, which means the room itself was only about 600 RMB, plus breakfast for four. What more could you ask for? The value for money is absolutely excellent. Our main reason for coming here was to interact with the marine animals, but the price has doubled, which is really annoying. In June, 1588 RMB would get three people interactions with three different animals. Now, it's 3188 RMB, which makes me not even want to do the interactions. Taking photos costs extra too. Just letting the kids get close to the beluga whales isn't worth it; I remember doing the beluga whale interaction at Wuhan Haichang for 100 RMB and it even included feeding."

Lingshui Qianyu Qianxun Seaview Holiday B&B (Qingshuiwan Lighthouse Branch) ★★★

"The room was spotless and fantastic, it was my first time staying here. Stepping out, you're right by the sea, which made me feel right at home. The service was incredibly warm and friendly, and the little snacks in the room every day were a great touch."

Vaperse Hainan Clear Water Bay ★★★★★

"Staying at the清水湾威珀斯酒店 (Clearwater Bay Weipers Hotel), I found the service to be generally good. Checking out was hassle-free; I just handed in my room card and was free to go, no queues needed. The hotel boasts an incredibly large and beautiful wedding lawn right behind it. It's clear they put a lot of effort into the landscaping, with palm trees, banana plants, and a variety of tropical flowers and greenery everywhere. The pathways are spotless, and the gardens are well-designed and spacious, so you're surrounded by lush greenery as you walk through. Compared to other resorts I've visited, the garden area here feels very open and uncrowded, with wide paths and an impressive architectural layout. From my room, it was just a short walk to the seaside lawn and the white wedding chapel, and the beach was also very close by. It's perfect whether you want to take a leisurely stroll and snap some photos, or wander around with your family. I imagine a wedding held here would be incredibly romantic."

DoubleTree by Hilton Lingshui Hot Spring ★★★★★

"This hotel has a massive outdoor pool with a kids' water park (small slides, spray features) and an indoor heated pool, so you can still enjoy swimming even on cloudy days. There's also an indoor kids' play area and adorable small animals. You don't even have to leave the hotel to keep the kids entertained!"

Hainan Sangem Moon Hotel  ★★★★★

"My child is allergic to mold. I specifically told the front desk when checking in, but to my surprise, my child started coughing violently that night. After checking, we found out the room was moldy! It's unbelievable for a hotel costing over 2000. The facilities are mediocre, breakfast is crowded, and the greenery certainly doesn't match a 2000+ price tag! I couldn't even find a good spot to take pictures at this hotel. You really should trust the negative reviews online. Plus, in another room, two bugs bit my elderly parents, and they only told me after they got home!"

Hainan Wanting Resort Hotel (Haiyun Square Branch) ★★★

"The hygiene was very good, and there's a restaurant and a gym. However, being street-facing, it can get a bit noisy during the day. Overall, I'm quite satisfied."

The Westin Blue Bay Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"A super pleasant trip, with excellent rooms and service! I'd definitely come back here again. The sea view rooms offer panoramic views, and you can see the ocean right from your bed, which is incredibly soothing."

Zaiye Haishu Hotel

Amanda Seaside Resort Apartment, Qingshui Bay, Lingshui ★★

"A great location with the sea in full view. The apartment is located in a beautiful residential complex with a lovely garden. The ocean is a 10-minute walk away. The room has a kitchen, so you can cook. The rooms are very quiet; you can't hear your neighbors."
