The Shanhaitian Resort Sanya

In the bathtub there were cockroaches; we mentioned it at reception, they weren’t surprised, called specialists to treat it, but nothing changed, apparently there are others on different floors that come through the ventilation.

“Excellent breakfast, great pools, but communication in English could be much better”

A major plus is that breakfast stays until 1:00 pm, with an excellent selection of Asian and Western dishes, fresh fruit, and many freshly prepared items; the hotel’s popularity means the breakfast restaurant can get busy during peak hours, so we sometimes had to wait for a table and the coffee ordering service was rather slow. The hotel isn’t directly on a sandy beach, so you need to walk a few minutes along the seaside promenade to reach it, but that also keeps the surroundings quieter and more relaxing while still being within walking distance of the lively area with many restaurants, bars, and shops. The swimming pools are beautiful and spacious, and in the afternoons the main pool area becomes lively with large pool parties and music. The biggest challenge was the language barrier with the staff, almost no one spoke English, making communication very difficult; check‑in took much longer than expected because of confusion with our reservation, which was stressful after a long journey, and we struggled to ask simple questions or request basic amenities even with translation apps.

Fantastic, stunning, modern place with European‑style service; we got checked in two hours early, the heated pool was awesome, the vibe festive and there were three restaurants. The breakfasts leaned heavily Chinese, everything was a bit over‑spiced, sushi was okay, pork was served, and the freshly squeezed pineapple juice was a must‑try; the sea isn’t nearby and you have to walk about 10 minutes along the promenade to get there.

“Very luxurious I felt like the queen of China lol!”

The place was flawless—especially the security, since you need a key to use the lift, so my little daughter never felt unsafe while I was out. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home from the moment we checked in. The only thing missing was an indoor pool, but otherwise everything was perfect.
