Personally tested 11 hotels in Sanya 🔥 I dare to speak only after I have stayed there!

🏝Lie flat holiday party special
🏨Sun Bay Park Hyatt Hotel
✔️Advantages: Exclusive access to Sanya's purest jelly sea and flour sand, 130-meter infinity pool + art-level design, live corals visible during snorkeling, and Le Labo amenities for an ultimate sense of seclusion.
✖️ Disadvantages: The location is extremely remote (need to drive through the winding mountain road), the food prices are high and the quality is low (Chinese restaurant is 500+ per person), and the maze-like layout makes it easy to get lost.
🏨Raffles Clearwater Bay
✔️Pros: Private beach with few people, and the room is big enough for running! The service is considerate (welcome to Coconut YYDs).
✖️Disadvantages: The surrounding area is desolate and you will starve to death without a car😂
🏨Shimei Bay Westin
✔️Advantages: The lawn leads directly to the beach, and the sunset is so beautiful! A must-go for couples in the pool room
✖️Disadvantages: The location is remote and only suitable for car rental parties.

🆓A must-have for duty-free shoppers
🏨Kaaba InterContinental
Location: 5 minutes walk to the duty-free city! After shopping, you can take it directly back to the hotel and lie down. It is the most convenient in Sanya!
Hardware: The underwater restaurant is super dreamy, but the room decoration is a bit business-like, and the balcony with sea view is absolutely amazing~

👶🏻Families with children, please see here
🏨Mid-Levels Peninsula InterContinental
✔️Pros: Children's pool + sand digging area, rich breakfast! The location is in Dadonghai, convenient to the city.
✖️Disadvantages: The room is a bit old
🏨JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai
✔️Pros: Lots of activities for kids, the pool has a slide! Direct access to the beach, you can play in the sand without worrying about the sun.
✖️Disadvantages: It is crowded during peak season, so it is recommended to avoid peak hours!
🏨Taikang Home’s best products (new dark horse for baby walks!)
✔️Advantages: 4000㎡ children's playground + 3 swimming pools, parents can also go to the health care center for massage! Full of design, super beautiful for taking photos~
✖️Disadvantages: 7 kilometers away from the duty-free city, it is recommended to drive by yourself!

📸A must-have for taking photos and posting on Moments
🏨Autohome: 180° sea view bathtub + infinity pool, full of IG style! But the service is average, don't have too high expectations~
🏨Sunshine One Hotel
✔️Advantages: Transparent suspended swimming pool, forest-style light and shadow secrets, rooftop bar Zixia immerses Haitang Bay, super breakfast
✖️ Disadvantages: Not directly facing the sea (across the street from the beach); the guest rooms are far from the lobby (the outdoor corridor is extremely hot in summer).
🏨Yalong Bay Bird's Nest: The rainforest cabin is super special, the forest is right outside the window! But there are many mosquitoes and the facilities are old, so it is suitable for adventurers!

🛫Transfer/Urban needs
🏨Crown Plaza Hotel: Although the facilities are old, it is cheap and has a good location.
🏨Dadonghai Hotel Group: It is very convenient to eat and take a taxi, night market lovers are ecstatic~

✅Lazy summary
* Bringing children: Taikang Home > JW Marriott > Mid-Levels Peninsula InterContinental
* Vacation: Park Hyatt > Raffles > Westin
* Photo: Autograph > Taikang Home > Bird's Nest
* Shopping: Tianfang Intercontinental + Duty Free City
* Transfer: Crowne Plaza>Dadonghai

There is no perfect hotel in Sanya.
Choose talents according to needs and avoid mistakes!
