This was our second time staying at Bird's Nest with the kids. This time we booked a larger room, and the front desk kindly upgraded us for free. We even had a dedicated service butler who was incredibly helpful. Their response time for dining arrangements and car bookings was very quick. The room facilities and decor have a charmingly rustic and natural feel. As for the views, they are absolutely stunning, with rolling mountains and blue skies and white clouds that feel within reach. You can hear the rustling of the pines and the wind blowing through the leaves, and there's a panoramic view of Yalong Bay, where the sea and sky blend seamlessly. It's perfect for those looking for a quiet getaway and a close connection with nature.

patornI absolutely have to give a shout-out to Ella, the butler at Wanda Realm!
To be honest, the room facilities are a bit dated; you can definitely see the age in the bathroom and furniture. But that didn't detract from our experience at all, because the butler service was simply outstanding!
From adding her on WeChat to communicate our needs during check-in, to receiving daily thoughtful weather and activity reminders, every request was met with a prompt response. The butler even specially delivered a fresh fruit platter to our room. And at check-out, she had prepared Hainan specialty souvenirs. The attention to detail was incredible, making us feel truly valued and pampered.
Moreover, the hotel's outdoor environment is absolutely stunning! The sand on the beach is as fine as flour, the seawater is crystal clear, and every photo you take looks like a wallpaper. The complimentary travel photoshoot was an even bigger surprise; the photographer patiently guided our poses, and the results were simply amazing. We ended up buying a package of over twenty photos, which was far better than any roadside photographer – why even bother with a bicycle when you have a luxury car? (a Chinese idiom meaning 'why settle for less when you can have the best')
Honestly, I truly believe that without the dedicated efforts of these high-quality professionals, this hotel would struggle to operate so smoothly. The hardware might be old, but the warmth of the people makes up for it. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who values service experience! We'll definitely be back! 👍
It's very close to the duty-free shop, so we had a great time shopping 🥰 If you're not an early riser, there's no need to buy breakfast; you can order takeout nearby 🥡 There's McDonald's and KFC.

Guest UserOur stay at Crowne Plaza Sanya Bay Resort during our trip to Sanya was excellent overall. The hotel boasts a prime beachfront location on Sanya Bay's Coconut Dream Corridor, offering easy access to the beach for sunset views. It's also very close to Phoenix International Airport, making early morning or late-night flights hassle-free. The grand European Baroque-style lobby is truly impressive and perfect for photos.
The rooms are spacious, and our sea-view room featured a scenic balcony with a bathtub, creating a wonderful ambiance. We could enjoy the ocean view right from our bed, and the sunset over the sea in the evening was absolutely stunning. The bedding was comfortable, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and all facilities were well-maintained.
The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes, including freshly made Hainanese noodles, and was served until noon, which was great for those who wanted to sleep in. The hotel also has two large outdoor pools and a kids' club, all set within beautiful gardens, making it a very pleasant place for a relaxing vacation.
The front desk and concierge staff were warm and attentive, promptly addressing any issues. This hotel is suitable for both couples and families, offering great value for money. It's definitely a top choice when visiting Sanya Bay, and we would consider staying here again!

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied! Butler Lili proactively contacted us in advance and communicated with us throughout our stay, providing exceptional and thoughtful service. We were assigned the highest floor, and the room was spacious with a fantastic sea view. Most of the parent-child activities are free, like paddleboarding and the mini-train, which other places usually charge for, making it excellent value for money. I also want to commend the staff at the kids' club; when one of our tokens wasn't recognized, they gave us six new ones. Our little one managed to win the bag she wanted with those last tokens, which made her very happy. Generally, InterContinental gives me the impression of being very generous, not a stingy hotel at all. The experience was top-notch, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Sanya.

Guest UserAlthough the Mangrove Tree Resort is an older hotel, its facilities are still excellent, clean, and tidy. The staff are enthusiastic and offer service with a smile. The hotel is situated on the picturesque Yalong Bay coastline, with coconut groves, lawns, and beach loungers, all designed to help guests relax and unwind. The Chinese restaurant offers delicious food, and the Thai restaurant is also quite good. If you're coming to Yalong Bay in Sanya, this is 100% my top choice. This year, they've introduced a new butler service, which gives you a warm, 'home-like' feeling. For anything you need, just ask your butler!

Davin.TSheraton Haitang Bay has lots of kids friendly activities throughout the day and a mini train to take us through the prooperties (it goes to the next door JW Mariott properties as well). The family bicycle is also useful to take leisurely stroll around. We got a free upgrade to a room with swimming pool right outside our balcony which is fantastic - the kids love it! Late in-room dining of wenchang chicken rice and seafood fried rice were also delicious. Great experience overall

Guest UserTo 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!

jetsunwA thoroughly satisfying stay!
The overall environment was comfortable and relaxing, with spacious areas perfect for both resting and unwinding. The hotel's personal butler provided one-on-one service, handling everything efficiently and meticulously. Many requests were anticipated and arranged without much explanation. The housekeeping auntie was also very attentive, ensuring the room was spotless and tidy. Breakfast was rich and delicious, featuring both local specialties and classic Western options. It was a truly delightful experience.

Posted on Aug 15, 2026|180 Degree Deluxe Sea View King Bed Room
ShenmoSKYSince 2020, every year around late July and early August, my annual rendezvous with the mountains and sea unfailingly comes to pass. The Mangrove Tree Resort in Haitang Bay has long been my unwavering vacation retreat, perfectly aligning with all my aspirations for a coastal getaway. Year after year, I return with a longing heart.
I’ve always been captivated by the 180° Deluxe Seaview Room, with its expansive balcony directly facing the vast South China Sea. Leaning on the railing, I take in the boundless blue sea and sky, watching the clouds drift and the tides ebb and flow. In past stays, I did leave some minor suggestions for improvement. Returning this time, I was delighted to see the hotel has diligently iterated and enhanced its services, with numerous details improved, showcasing a sincere commitment to guest satisfaction. The only minor imperfections this stay were the weak air conditioning in the room and a malfunctioning electric screen. I hope the housekeeping and engineering departments can strengthen their coordinated inspections and daily equipment maintenance to further refine the living experience.
This year’s entire trip was exceptionally memorable, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to our butler, 'Juzi Juzi Juzi'. Her service was meticulous and attentive, with highly efficient and timely responses. Every request was addressed. Without me even having to ask, she proactively inquired about my itinerary and daily needs, promptly arranging room cleaning, replenishing beverages, and even thoughtfully providing fruit plates and desserts. When my relatives and friends later checked into the same type of seaview room, they were also handled by the butler throughout their stay. She arranged high-floor rooms with large balconies offering sea views and even provided upgrades. Each room was thoughtfully prepared with fruit plates and desserts – comprehensive and impeccable service. This has been the most outstanding butler service I've experienced in my many years of staying at the Mangrove Tree Resort. I sincerely hope the hotel can cultivate more such excellent service staff.
I also want to thank the Trip.com butler who helped me communicate and implement my special check-in requests in advance. Upon arrival, I didn't have to wait in line, and the coveted sea-view room had already been perfectly reserved for me. I used the VIP channel for check-in, and the entire process was calm and smooth. My initial room was upgraded to the 15th floor, and later, due to the air conditioning issue, the butler thoughtfully coordinated a move to the executive floor on the 23rd floor. The service provided by 'Juzi Juzi Juzi' this year was truly flawless.
As night falls, fireworks bloom in the sky, with buildings and the heavens reflecting each other, creating a spectacular and dazzling scene. Haitang Bay boasts a cluster of high-end hotels, but in my heart, the Mangrove Tree Resort will always hold an irreplaceable position. Strolling through the hotel gardens, gazing at the vast ocean, enjoying delicious food with the sea breeze; at night, sitting alone by the sea, listening to the rhythmic waves, I fully indulge in the relaxation and tranquility of a vacation.
I have witnessed the hotel’s growth and transformation over the years and wish to continue accompanying the Mangrove Tree Resort on its journey forward. I look forward to the hotel's continued refinement and the unlocking of more novel and exciting experiences. I anticipate returning next summer for another rendezvous with the mountains and sea. I wish the Mangrove Tree Resort Sanya Haitang Bay a prosperous future!

Posted on Sep 1, 2026|Executive Ocean Room, King Bed
YuxiThis hotel was originally just a one-night stopover, but the overall facilities, lounge, and room type turned out to be a pleasant surprise. In China, you probably won't find a JW Marriott at this price again.
The hotel is located on a rocky beach in Dadonghai, without sand, but offering a different experience: mudflats foraging and swimming in the sea (there's a recessed, shallow area on the rocky beach in front of the hotel that's safer at low tide). The overall sea view isn't bad at all; one side offers a view of the curved Dadonghai beach, while the other faces the lighthouse.
The hotel facilities are quite comprehensive, with a long family pool and a shallow children's pool. Armbands and full-body swimming life jackets are provided free of charge, and there are even cylindrical holders for shoes. There are numerous lifeguards, strategically placed so that every blind spot of one lifeguard is covered by another. This is completely different from the setup at other five-star hotels in Sanya, and the pool closes at 10 PM, which received unanimous praise from my family. The outdoor open-air children's playground is similar; for younger children, the playground staff will even follow behind to supervise, truly demonstrating JW's high standards.
We booked an executive sea-view room in the East Wing, a room type that directly faces the sunrise over Rabbit Tail Ridge. Plus, it has a huge balcony, instantly eliminating any feeling of a small room.
Since we only stayed for one day, we couldn't experience many of the dining options. However, seeing the hotel selling egg pancakes for 15 RMB and refreshing Qingshubiang for 20 RMB, I immediately felt that the prices were accessible to the general public. The executive lounge's food could only be described as average Marriott quality (I suspect this might be due to the hotel's price point), but it's one of the few resort hotels that even has an executive lounge. The breakfast experience was excellent, with stewed soups, JW noodles, numerous egg preparations, fermented grain vinegar, sour noodles, Hou'an noodles, and various fresh juices. Among the three hotels we stayed at in Sanya, this was the lowest-priced hotel, yet it had the highest breakfast standards.
The service was excellent overall. Whether it was the lounge attendant helping us with a last-minute room change (and getting us a room with a large balcony), or the front desk staff running out to find the mini-train because my child wanted to ride it when it was almost closing time, or the proactive luggage service and reminders from our butler Una, it all truly met the high standards of a luxury five-star hotel!
Some suggestions:
1. The open space on the large balcony could really benefit from some decorations and lounge chairs; I think it would enhance the resort feel.
2. Stronger signage is needed from the East Wing to the West Wing breakfast area. It's quite hard to find since you have to take an elevator.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. Aside from the lack of a sandy beach, this is a high-standard, high-value-for-money resort hotel!
