[2025 Sanya Hotels] Travel Guide for Holiday Inn & Suites Sanya Yalong Bay (Updated Jul)

The photo’s did not do the hotel any justice. I was expecting the hotel to be nice but it has exceeded those expectations. This hotel is the calmest and most relaxing hotel I have ever been to. The staff is friendly and helpful. The decor is tranquil and earthy with a hint of glamour. Everything is squeaky clean. There’s a gym, spa, restaurant, mini supermarket, infinity pool and more. I booked a double room and the bed is very comfortable and there’s a mini lounge area and kitchenette. Everything also smells good for some reason. High ceilings with perfect lighting and color schemes for the IG fanatics. The in house restaurant has a very delicious breakfast buffet and beef burgers with a lovely view. 5-10 minutes is all it takes to walk to the beach and there are also golf carts to take you if you’re feeling lazy to walk in the sun. This hotel definitely feels like home away from home for those looking to relax and unwind. I will definitely be coming back.

📅 Itinerary Day1： Day2: Day3: 🏨 Accommodation 🍴 Food Recommendations 📌 Tips

This time, I took Wang Dandan to check in at the Sanya Yalong Bay Xinghua Hyatt Resort and the Sanya Yalong Bay Xinghua Suite Holiday Inn, which are truly dream choices for family trips! 🏨Hotel Environment The hotel combines mountain, sea, and lake views, with a scenic view at every step. The lobby lounge is located halfway up the mountain above a waterfall, full of vacation vibes. We stayed in the Nai Long themed room, full of details, and the room was also very spacious. 👶Family Facilities This place is simply a happy planet for kids! 🎠 Various play facilities are all available, Wang Dandan didn’t want to leave once inside. 🏊‍♀️ The stylish cloud-themed pool has a children’s splash pool, super friendly for kids, and there’s a live band performing at night, creating a great atmosphere! Water slides, bubble parties, heated pools—there’s always something new to enjoy every day. 🦙 In the cute pet park, you can interact closely with alpacas and rabbits, and also observe snakes, lizards, and other small animals—novel and fun. There are alpacas in the lobby every day too!! 🎨 Unique family activities every day; on the first day, we made peach blossom pastries and did a little volcano experiment 🧪 🍱Dining Experience 🍳 The buffet breakfast has a wide variety of options, both Western and Chinese, plus a special kids’ dining area, nutritious and delicious to start the day full of energy. 🍽️ The Starry Family Restaurant feels like a dream world, with a large surround screen playing cartoons, and the kids’ meals are adorably shaped, even picky eaters finish their plates. 🥘 You must try the coconut chicken hotpot at Caifenglou—it’s incredibly fresh and loved by the whole family. It’s also very convenient for nearby activities; just cross the street to Yalong Bay Beach, and I recommend changing into your swimsuit before heading over.

I used to think visiting Sanya meant dragging kids around to check off attractions, planning until my hair fell out... This time we completely relaxed at the hotel and discovered how effortless family vacations could be! Our family of four stayed for three days and two nights "locked in" at the hotel - the kids had so much fun they didn't want to leave! 🎈About kid-friendly activities 🏖️Yalong Bay Beach: Hotel-exclusive private sunbeds with FREE sand toys - kids could "battle" on the beach all day! 🎠Sun Paradise: A semi-indoor playground perfect for sunny or rainy days - no heat or sun exposure. 🧑‍🎨Crescent Theater Club: Different activities every time slot! We joined science experiments and kids' cooking - super fun. 🦀Must-try the nightly crab hunting! With gear and buckets, we caught several little crabs by the shore - absolutely hilarious! 🏊Cloud Pool + Kids' Water Park: The shallow Cloud Pool is safe for toddlers. At night with lights on, swimming becomes magical! The lakeside infinity pool at night was so atmospheric. 🐰Petting Zoo: Loads of adorable animals with great interaction opportunities. 🎬5D Cinema: Immersive experience - the dinosaur theme we watched was thrilling! 🏓Public areas also include ping pong, gym, library 📖, and 24-hour self-service laundry. 🌟About accommodation 📍We stayed at Holiday Inn Resort Sanya Yalong Bay, just minutes' walk to the beach! Next to the outlet mall for convenient shopping/dining. The pre-booked Nailong-themed room completely enchanted my kids! Bunk beds + queen bed gave our family of four ample space - even towels, sheets, and toiletries featured Nailong designs, keeping kids entertained in the room for hours. 🍽️About dining The hotel breakfast buffet was abundant with diverse options. Dinner buffet featured fresh seafood alongside amazing face-changing performances and clown interactions - atmosphere was electric! 💖Absolutely loved the Stellar Family Restaurant: dopamine-colored marine theme with dreamy seashell/jellyfish decor like an underwater world. Huge LED screens played cartoons, and 🎂since it was my child's birthday, the restaurant's ambiance and ceremonial touches were perfect!

As someone who lived in Hawaii for 2 years, I can compare the US Hawaii with the Chinese resort in Hainan, which is called the Chinese Hawaii. The nature of Hainan really resembles the 50th State of the USA. Gorgeous mountains, azure sea water, paradise birds. Moreover, unlike in the States, in Hainan, as in all of China, you won't encounter on the streets homeless people or individuals suffering from drug overdoses. The environment is absolutely safe and chill. Everyone is in harmonious state of mind. Well, the hotel Holiday Inn where we stayed for 3 weeks deserves special attention. It is a worthy example of value for money. If you want to have a consistently good vacation without breaking the bank, this is the place for you. 🌝 What would make you happy: - generous breakfasts (Chinese and Western cuisine) - diligent daily cleaning in the rooms - friendly staff who, despite their lack of English, understand your problem and resolve it - a clean and uncrowded beach within 5-7 minutes' walk from the hotel - Western dinner sets or Chinese style hot pot to choose 🌚 What might upset you: - The staff is very unsure of their English and other languages besides Chinese - The dirty sea and beach after national holidays (the waves bring trash from the mainland) - Despite the hotel chain being American, there is a certain sluggishness among the staff and a lack of clear service regulations (for example, you have to remind them to bring cutlery, etc.) I would like to highlight Doris, who helped a lot with living issues. Also, a big thanks to An; Russian speakers can reach out to her for assistance. All processes related to check-in and check-out are handled promptly and pleasantly. Mayson kindly let my child to ride a mini train before the official work time, because we were about to leave. The neighboring Hualux Hotel offers a spa, sauna, entertainment and playrooms for children. You can also purchase a luxurious buffet dinner there. Every day on the way to the beach, we enjoyed freshly squeezed juices at the corner (see pic). Overall, I confidently recommend the Holiday Inn for a vacation on one of the best and most prestigious coasts of Hainan Yalong Bay. Wishing everyone peace and love! 🕊️ #chinesehawaii #approvedbyrussians #greatforkids 📍

Holiday Inn Sanya Along Bay Shenghua Suites, priced at 4,500 yuan a day, including two breakfasts, I think it is very cost-effective. It can share facilities with the Along Bay Huayi Hotel next door. There are also hotel-exclusive chairs and sun umbrellas at the Yalong Bay Beach. However, for food, apart from the hotel's restaurant and the Shenghuayi restaurant next door, you basically have to go to Baihua Valley, which costs about 10 yuan by taxi.

Nestled in the tranquil embrace of Yalong Bay, the Holiday Inn & Suites is a hidden gem for travelers seeking a mellow retreat. Here's why it's my go-to chill spot: 🛏️ Spacious & Modern Comfort: The rooms are a dream, with a king and single bed, minimalistic decor, and a balcony perfect for evening relaxation. The mountain views? Simply breathtaking. 🍽️ Breakfast Buffet Extravaganza: Start your day with an impressive spread that caters to both Western and Chinese palates. Trust me, it's worth opting for breakfast-included bookings. 🏊‍♂️ Infinity Pool & Family Fun: Dive into the serene lake-view infinity pool or splash around with the kids in their own pool. Complete with sun loungers and shady terraces, it's poolside bliss. 🚶‍♂️ Prime Location: Just a leisurely stroll to the beach and a quick taxi ride to local malls, the hotel's location is unbeatable. Chill, dine, and unwind at Holiday Inn & Suites Yalong Bay, your peaceful Sanya sanctuary. 📍 No.14 Longtang Road, Yalong Bay National Tourism Resort, Jiyang District, Sanya, Hainan, China #SanyaSanctuary #YalongBayBliss #TranquilTravel
