Traveling to Sanya with the whole family? Here’s how to choose your first hotel!

A real 3-day, 2-night experience for families with kids and seniors.
After landing, we chose the Howard Johnson Resort Sanya Bay, which is only a dozen minutes away from the airport and located in Sanya Bay.
We booked a JOJO-themed two-bedroom family suite for 3 adults and 2 children. The entire room is full of childlike fun, with all kinds of children's supplies, and a thoughtful sand digging bucket. The super large terrace directly overlooks the sea!
I can't wait to see what surprises this monster building can bring us.
After putting down our luggage, the children couldn't wait to run to the 567-square-meter HowFun children's play area, with slide sets, magic kitchen, ocean ball pit, simulation supermarket, trampoline and many other amusement facilities. They just couldn't stop playing!
The outdoor children's play area is also very large. My son likes to play on the aerial zip line the most.
Finally, we arrived at the Octopus Tribe that the children had been thinking about. There are so many parent-child activities in the store, indoor handicraft classes, outdoor parent-child activities, the children had a great time! When we got home, we still talked about Coach Da Shu every day!
In the evening, we went to Guoxiangge-Hainan Fine Cuisine Restaurant in the hotel to taste the characteristics of Hainan. Every dish was delicious.
The next day, we also had a buffet breakfast at Guoxiangge, which was rich in variety, and we also encountered doll interactions.
After eating and changing into our swimsuits, we couldn't wait to play in the water. The outdoor central swimming pool, the indoor heated swimming pool, and the outdoor water park were so much fun. When we took a break at noon, we went to Yeyutang on the first floor to eat Hainan's special Qingbuliang, which was ice-cold and super delicious! After eating, we couldn't wait to get into the water again. As a kid from Northeast China, who understands the feeling of soaking in the water all day!
In the evening, we had an open-air seafood buffet dinner. The ingredients were fresh, the variety was rich, and there were stir-fries, hot pot, and barbecue. The freshly caught crabs were also unlimited, and there were singers performing. The feeling of vacationing while blowing the sea breeze, eating hot pot, and listening to music was visualized at this moment!
On the third day, after breakfast, while the sun hadn't come out yet, we quickly went to the South Lawn to take some beautiful photos, and then went to the Coconut Dream Corridor and the beach through the exclusive passage!
We didn't leave the hotel for 3 days and 2 nights of eating, drinking and playing. Overall, the price/performance ratio was super high! Sisters who want to come to Sanya can go for it!
