Yalong Bay Villas & Spa

This is an older hotel, but it has convenient parking. I've been staying here for over ten years, and the environment is still great. If you like peace and quiet, this is the place to be. The breakfast is excellent. Nowadays, the majority of guests are international visitors. The hotel also has its own private beach.

Facilities: Could use some improvement. Ambiance: Absolutely fantastic ecological environment, stepping out immediately lifts your spirits. There are even little squirrels! Service: Beyond perfect, couldn't be better. Every time I come to Sanya, I only stay at No. 5. It's like my second home in Sanya, highly recommend!

The hotel's ambiance is undeniably fantastic, with a beautiful Southeast Asian vibe. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff were very attentive, and the complimentary travel photography was also high-quality. The only downside is that the hotel facilities are quite old and dated, but otherwise, everything else was great.

This hotel is perfect for a vacation! Each villa has its own pool, and the two-bedroom suite was fantastic, featuring four balconies with beautiful views. The breakfast was quite substantial, and it's just a 10-minute walk to the beach and also a 10-minute walk to Baihuagu.

The hotel has a strong Southeast Asian resort vibe, with each villa adorned with Spring Festival couplets and lanterns, creating an incredibly festive atmosphere for Chinese New Year. The hotel is quite large, but the buggy service makes getting around very convenient, and it's lovely to take a walk after dinner and enjoy the scenery. We also tried the Hainanese cuisine at the hotel restaurant, which was pretty good. The in-room facilities, however, are a bit dated.

I chose room 115, which is near the hotel lobby. This is my third time here, and I'm very satisfied with the beautiful surroundings and clean room. There's a small pool outside the room and a drying rack provided. Buildings 101-112 are villas with parking right outside and are closest to the lobby. Buildings 113-115 are guest rooms, and 116-126 are couple's villa rooms. Our first-floor room had a slight damp smell, which is normal, and the front desk provided an aroma diffuser when asked. The hotel has its own beach access and private path. The lounge chairs under the trees are fantastic, and you can use the restrooms at the Mangrove Tree Hotel nearby, and even take a quick look around. Breakfast is very rich with a wide variety of options. The hotel's 'second-row' location is quieter than the 'first-row' hotels and is close to Baihua Valley, offering great value for money. The front desk staff and the shuttle drivers are very friendly and try their best to meet guests' needs.

The cleaning lady didn't even change the towels! The hand towels were just refolded dirty ones from the previous guests, and we caught her red-handed. Absolutely disgusting. They eventually brought us clean ones, but the cleaning dragged on until almost 5 PM before they finally left. The hotel environment itself is genuinely good, but the rooms and facilities are really old, run-down, and dirty. The toilet was terrible, the seat was wobbly, and the sofa had unknown stains. We ended up not using any of the towels and certainly didn't dare to sit on that sofa. One of our three rooms even had a strong cigarette smell. The best thing I can say is that the hotel's surroundings are truly excellent – a perfect score for the environment. But the room cleanliness is seriously concerning.
