Reviews
The guest rooms are elegantly designed and cozy, offering superb views. The soft furnishings are comfortable and refined, making for a truly pleasant stay. The staff are gentle and attentive, with a warm and thoughtful demeanor, making travel and sightseeing completely stress-free.
The food is delicious and the dishes are exquisite and varied, making dining as a couple a truly special experience. It's quiet and relaxing, far from the bustling city, offering a sense of peace and healing. It's the ideal escape for couples to enjoy their time together away from urban noise. We'll definitely be back for our next vacation!
This was our first time in Sanya, and traveling with elderly and a child, we deliberated over hotels for a long time. Firstly because of the price, and also carefully considering user reviews. The night before we checked in, I was still seeing negative reviews on Xiaohongshu, and my heart was really uneasy. But honestly, I can genuinely say that from check-in to check-out, our whole family was very satisfied and happy!
My husband and I travel frequently for work and usually stay in 4 or 5-star hotels like Hilton, so I believe we have high standards for accommodation and some experience. First off, I think this hotel, like all the Hiltons we've stayed in, maintains consistently high standards. The room layout, facilities, hotel design, and service all meet Hilton's criteria. Some mentioned outdated facilities and a musty smell; our family genuinely didn't smell anything musty. I think it might be related to the climate rather than an inherent issue with the hotel itself. We stayed in family rooms on both the ground floor and third floor, and I found both to be excellent. The ground floor room was a bit smaller but more convenient for accessing the beach and pool. The third-floor room was larger and very comfortable. I especially want to highlight the public areas. We chose this place specifically wanting a resort feel and for grandma to experience it, and it truly proved to be the right choice. I didn't take many photos of the public areas during the day, but I took a few while strolling in the evening – you can see them. The 'after-effect' is that I still miss it terribly now that I'm home. Sitting on a lounge chair in the public area at night, enjoying the sea breeze, eating crayfish, drinking beer, and listening to music – it was absolutely fantastic.
Breakfast was pretty standard. There was a variety of options, but the dishes didn't change frequently; the menu was largely the same for the three days we stayed.
Finally, a note on other services. You absolutely must take advantage of the complimentary travel photography offered by the hotel. It's not necessarily because the photos are incredibly good (though they aren't bad), but because when you're traveling with a child and elderly, you truly have no time to take your own pictures, and your phone ends up with nothing presentable. Another point mentioned in reviews is the limited number of parent-child activities, and I agree with this to an extent. Since my baby is currently 2 years old, the beach and pool were more than enough to keep her entertained. However, if she were a bit older and we wanted to do more diverse activities, this hotel indeed doesn't offer many. The kids' club isn't very large either. But it's subjective; every child's needs are different.
Overall, during the relatively off-peak season in May, the Hilton had a moderate number of guests, and the service was orderly. Absolutely recommended.
First, let's talk about the service. The front desk staff were really awful. Not only were they cold, but their attitude was terrible. When I asked where breakfast was, they just vaguely pointed. Many people have complained about their bad attitude, but nothing changes; they act so superior. Checking in meant waiting in a long line, and after finally getting my room key, it was another long wait. When I was still packing to check out, they called to rush me about extending my stay.
The room itself was smelly, old, and damp, with facilities that looked like they were from the last century. As for the hotel's beach, there were fewer than 20 sun loungers, so you had to constantly queue to get one. Sometimes you'd wait all afternoon and still not find a spot. Meanwhile, the Ritz-Carlton next door had plenty of loungers, with many even empty.
I went to the breakfast buffet at 8 AM, and many stations were already empty, requiring a wait. The variety was poor, and the food was just not good. How can it be so unappetizing? It was far worse than the breakfast at a 700-yuan hotel I stayed at on my first day; it was truly dreadful and the selection was so limited.
The hotel food is also super expensive. If you order takeout, you have to walk hundreds of meters and go down two elevators to pick it up. Every time the delivery driver set off, so did I! 😂 Staying here was the biggest mistake! ❌❌❌
