Beach Hotels in Hainan, China

Driving to Riyue Bay, staying at this hotel was super hassle-free. They have a parking lot and a shuttle service that takes you right to your room's building. It's only a few hundred meters from all the major surf clubs, which is really convenient after a surf session. Plus, there's a water park and a horse riding stable nearby, so there are plenty of options for activities and entertainment.

This guesthouse is absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous environment, probably the best in town. The room directly faces the azure sea, making it the closest I've ever stayed to the ocean. It's clean, with modern and complete facilities, and the service is warm and attentive. It's located in a very quiet part of Tianya Town, close to the hustle and bustle but still offering a private, tranquil escape – both convenient and relaxing. There are many charming coffee shops nearby where you could easily spend an entire day. It's also very close to the beach, which is incredibly convenient when traveling with kids. Plus, the guesthouse has its own beautiful pool that perfectly complements the blue sky and sea – so incredibly comfortable!

The hotel is located by Qishui Bay, about a 10-minute walk to the beach. The indoor pool is around 22 meters long with a depth of 1 meter. Some rooms have balconies with views of the launch site, while others overlook Qishui Bay. Since the exact launch time couldn't be known in advance, I missed seeing it from my room, but the hotel does offer a paid viewing service. The concierge staff member was very enthusiastic and provided great emotional support. Chen from the front desk was also very proactive in helping me with various issues. The first obvious drawback is that the facilities are old. The furnishings are several years old, and the surfaces of the furniture and appliances are mottled and rusted. The TV is also too small. The second drawback: after swimming, I left my beach shoes and swimsuit to dry on the balcony. I collected my swimsuit the next day but forgot the beach shoes. I didn't remember them after checking out, and only realized the next day that they were missing. Chen from the front desk actively contacted housekeeping, but was told they weren't found, and no new guests had checked into the room yet. Fearing I might have forgotten, I checked my luggage at home and still couldn't find them. It's highly likely the shoes were treated as abandoned items by the cleaning staff on the balcony. Such a shame!

Stayed here for three nights, and overall it was decent. It was super crowded, which made for a lively atmosphere, but we had to queue just to get into breakfast, though the wait wasn't too long. The prices here are really high. A bottle of Coke Zero at the water park was 28, and a serving of Oden (6 skewers) was 48 (68 downstairs at the hotel). A single squid skewer was 48! At the Japanese restaurant downstairs, a bowl of Udon was 138 and a beef rice bowl was 168. We really should have taken a taxi to eat out, but we were just too lazy 😭. On the other hand, the room service food was delicious, and by comparison, it didn't seem so expensive. A set menu with four dishes (pictured in Figure 4) was 378. The worst experience here was the travel photography service (Fuyou Pai). The hotel offered five complimentary digital raw photos. First off, the photographer was probably in their forties or fifties, and had us pose in those old-fashioned studio styles from my childhood – and I couldn't refuse! 😭 The raw photos weren't even as good as what I could take with my phone, so I had no choice but to pay 100 for retouched versions. Then I ended up spending another 680 to buy 15 more retouched photos. That money was totally wasted. I've got a new goal for 2026: learn photography 📷. I thought the C Show performance was just okay, but the kids loved it and wanted to see it again 😓. Definitely get seats in the middle.

Sanya Four Seasons Haiting Hotel was absolutely fantastic, I highly recommend it! The hotel's location is superb, right in the prime 'C position' of the Dadonghai Tourist Resort's hillside seascape. It's within walking distance to attractions like Luhuitou Park and Dadonghai Beach. The hotel also offers a free shuttle bus, making getting around incredibly convenient. Upon entering, it felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese garden, with rockeries and flowing water, lush greenery, and beautiful scenery at every turn, exuding an oriental charm. The room also exceeded my expectations. I stayed in a sea-view room with a private balcony and a scenic bathtub. From the balcony, I could overlook the stunning views of Dadonghai and the international yacht marina, especially at sunset – the scenery was absolutely captivating. The room amenities were comprehensive, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and all the toiletries were branded. Plus, it was impeccably clean. The hotel's service was truly impeccable. The front desk staff were warm and professional, check-in was swift, and they provided detailed information about the hotel's facilities and local sightseeing tips. The breakfast buffet in the restaurant offered a wide variety of delicious options, including both Chinese and Western cuisine, catering to diverse tastes. Furthermore, the hotel boasts numerous recreational facilities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, a gym, and a kids' club. I swam in the pool every day – the water was crystal clear and the environment was beautiful. In summary, my stay at Sanya Four Seasons Haiting Hotel was an excellent experience, and I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Sanya.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! The overall style is simple yet sophisticated. As soon as I entered the room, I was drawn to the spacious and tidy layout, with the white color scheme making it look exceptionally elegant. The room amenities were thoughtfully chosen; the smart toilet added a lot of comfort, and the bedding was soft and skin-friendly, ensuring a truly restful sleep. I arrived in the morning and had a really comfortable and deep sleep on the bed. Staying here was both comfortable and stylish. Downstairs is the sea, and in the evening there are many beach music bars. The one closest to this guesthouse was particularly fun and had a great atmosphere. The service was also very attentive. I will definitely choose this place again next time I visit. Highly recommend it to everyone!

It's hard to put into words, I went to experience the beautiful Ocean Flower Island with endless imagination, but only after I arrived did I realize it was far from satisfactory. Dining: If you don't want to eat at the hotel, you have to walk more than ten minutes to the food court. But when you're exhausted from a day of playing and arrive at the hotel at 7 PM, you just want to go straight to a restaurant to eat your fill and recharge. However, as soon as you reach the hotel entrance, the sea breeze was so strong it blew us, who are sensitive to cold, back to the hotel. Taking a taxi to Island 2 didn't help either, as there was no large shopping complex that could provide shelter from the wind and rain. We just made do. Even more frustrating, if you don't use the hotel breakfast, the earliest external delivery the hotel allows is 9 AM, and you receive it at 9:15 AM. So many inconveniences. It was a loss for someone like me who only stayed one night to check it out. I didn't enjoy any perks and left the island. Not even a complimentary electric cart tour. Even if they didn't offer other things, a free electric cart from the hotel entrance to the food court would have been great. Alas, I shouldn't be so impulsive next time.

This was my first time staying at a hotel in Haikou, and I'm so glad I picked this one! 60% of the reason was thanks to the incredibly thoughtful service from our butler, Jenny. She contacted me a few days before our arrival to help with check-in arrangements, and after we checked in, she even sent over a personalized guide to Haikou's attractions and food. We followed her recommendations for meals over the past few days, and every single one was spot on. Whenever we had any questions during our stay, Jenny was always there to help immediately, showing such care and patience! I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Haikou! 😊

Close to the airport but not noisy. Room service was good, and breakfast was decent – those are the pros. As for the cons, I asked the front desk staff for a better room when checking in, and she readily agreed with a poker face, only to give me a terrible one. It had a pungent smell, so I had to go back and forth to the lobby myself to request a room change, which finally worked. This front desk staff member was the most unsatisfactory part of my stay. Only the small kids' pool was heated, and it felt like a sardine can; every stroke, I'd bump into someone's leg. The water under the waterslide was freezing cold and completely unusable. The hotel beach is public, full of hawkers, and non-hotel guests occupied the lounge chairs with no one doing anything about it. Plus, there were betel nut bugs everywhere – both my legs were covered in bites after returning. I've been to Sanya five times, and this is the first time this has happened, which means this beach is the dirtiest. Oh, and everyone was smoking. I had hoped to clear my lungs this winter, but this hotel only offered secondhand smoke. My blessings to them are in the pictures.

This hotel is perfectly located right above a commercial street and a food street, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. Everything you need is right at your doorstep, so you don't have to go far for anything. It's an ideal choice for a island vacation, offering easy access to explore, eat, and have fun.
