Pampered

Reviewed By Gridnour

It's expensive, but it all feels worth it. Mandarin Oriental feels like a true experience, not just somewhere to stay. The food is good for Westerners and the perks for being a "fan" are worth it considering it's free to sign up. We were very well taken care of by Mihai and Nicky. The only thing to keep in mind is table service at restaurants takes quite a while. It was a bit annoying when you're waiting for food and hungry.

Fabulous beach resort

Reviewed By jordandianescott

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pullman Sanya Bay with our 2 children this week. We stayed 4 nights and the kids had so much fun at the water park, the kids club, the playground, the foam party, and of course the calm beach which is ideal for kids to play on. Our trip was made extra special due in large part to Wayne, the F&B mgr, who took care of our every need. Dean and Cindy were also so helpful in the restaurants. The only thing that could be improved upon was the master bed in the 2bedroom apartment suite. It was so incredibly hard and uncomfortable. Wayne to the rescue though! He had the housekeeping staff add an extra mattress topper, which helped but it was still a VERY hard mattress. We would love to return for another relaxing family holiday, though!

The resort lies in the wonderful Haitang Bay near Sanya. Awesome outside area with access to different pools. Great variety which allows you different experiences throughout the day. I liked most the little beach area surrounded by tropical trees and plants. Food was delicious, great breakfast and creative snacks and sweets for afternoon tea and happy hour. Rooms are spacious, nice interior design without missing the view for the details. Overall a great stay at Sofitel Leeman Sanya

Crowne Plaza Sanya Haitang Bay Resort, an IHG hotel

Poor service attitude

Reviewed By Happy88966

I had already arranged the room in advance and confirmed the room type, but I was able to change the room one hour before I arrived, and I also popularized the membership terms. Is claiming that I have the final say, upgrade one level, strict implementation, then other managers before the arrangement is false? What a hypocrite, loyal is this how account managers serve their clients? 已经提前安排好的房间,也确认好的房间类型,居然能在到店的前一个小时改掉,还和我普及会员条款。更是自称我说了算,就升级一级,严格执行,那之前别的经理安排好的事情是虚假的?真虚伪的人,忠诚客户经理就是这样服务客户的?更可气的是,一摸一样预订模式会员等级也一样的朋友来预订,同一天的房间,居然连升三级到行政房?这个时候怎么没人和我普及会员条款?

Great place if you want to avoid the crowd

Reviewed By wandering_dive_geek

Comfortable stay.. food was good and there is a free shuttle that goes to the Duty Free Mall. However it is also far from other places.. nothing to see around the area. I like their Hainanese chicken.. made me appreciate the dish which I didn't like prior this trip. Swimming is not allowed on the beach, it seems this is quite common in Hainan so if you want to swim on the beach, choose another area.

The Sanya EDITION

Inspired by the sea, The Sanya EDITION is an exceptional new destination on Hainan Island, just off the coast of Southern China. Water, a source of vitality and serenity, defines the lush 50-acre EDITION property, which features a spectacular private ocean along with two pools. All of the 506 guestrooms in the horseshoe-shaped hotel have ocean views. In addition, 11 hotel villas are nestled into a terraced hillside with ocean views, private pools, and pavilion spaces. Nearby attractions abound, such as shopping at luxury designer outlets, but once guests cross the entrance into The Sanya EDITION, they become part of an experience that is other-worldly.

Excellent Suite, Outstanding Service, Superb Food

Reviewed By Wayfarer1844

A repeat visitor, I recommend this hotel wholeheartedly for their amazing consistent quality, even during the pandemic. Edition Sanya surpasses high expectations - even during the “special time” when many businesses (understandably) do not hesitate to reduce service and close facilities to cope with the downturn. Not so at Edition! The quality of every aspect of hotel (rooms, pools including a massive warm seawater pool, restaurants, gardens, food…) remains excellent, and they provide little extras (unasked) every day. The service is not only generous and honest but also thoughtful. We were able to eat at Egret (superb Western food - shout out to Tina and Judy for great personalised service), Barbacoa (authentic Balinese food better than you get in Bali, prepared by Balinese Super Chef Imadé , who also greets every guest with warmth and charm), the Market (outstanding breakfast spread, and great authentic tasting Western and Asian fare for lunch / dinner). Other restaurants and bars are also open though we did not try them because we chose to eat repeatedly at Egret and Barbacoa (both worth travelling to if staying elsewhere). If you can, stay at Edition - it offers the full vacation service and exceeds expectations every time. If you don’t stay there; go there to eat- the food is EXCELLENT. Special thanks to Carina, Vikki, Mae and Chef Imade for making reservations and wonderful arrangements. One more thing: Edition provides Dyson hairdryers in the bathroom. Quality, quality, and quality are what they provide.

Disappointing food experience

Reviewed By sonamc492

We stayed at indigo but had our breakfast and dinner in Intercontinental. The buffet breakfast was so mediocre, with hardly any choice. Quite disappointing for an intercontinental hotel. We had dinner and whatever we ordered from the beer list was apparently not available. I ordered tuna salad with potatoes and the tuna were stinky and spoiled. The staff tried hard and were pleasant, however, the whole food experience was horrible. No wonder we were the only people in the restaurant.
