Amanda RutThis type of resort is not my usual place however I felt, as part of my tour of China, that I needed somewhere to relax for a few days. This resort did not disappoint!
Despite initial issues checking in, I was upgraded to the Peacock then driven up and over the hill in a golf buggy. It did surprise me how sprawled out the resort is and it was a good 20 minutes to get there. It’s too far to walk and probably not a good idea in the dark!
On arrival, one of the porters helped carry my bags down to the most amazing little villla in the jungle! The room was really just perfect. After being given mosquito spray at reception I realised quite quickly that it was needed! Th balcony was lively to just sit out and chill looking at the amazing view
As a vegetarian I do find it hard to eat in China and the language barrier was difficult however I went to the restaurant and was helped to order by the manager. The chef sent me a fruit plate - i think partly because he was worried about me eating enough! Breakfast was really lovely!
Despite it being a resort, there was very little human noise and it was nice to sit in the balcony listening to the noise of nature. The WeChat messenger was great to communicate and the staff were really helpful when I had a severe reaction to mosquito bites. You do need to call for a buggy any time you want to move around the resort however they are very quick to arrive.
The resort itself was amazing to explore. If you have any mobility issues, it may be an issue because my villa was quite far down a lot of steps.
If I return to Hainan Island in future, I would love to stay here again - such a special location

Xiaomudoujiang🌴 Brought my family to Sanya, Hainan for a vacation and stayed in a suite at the Yalong Bay Xinguang Pullman Resort (or Yalong Bay Welcome Hotel) for 4 days and 3 nights. The experience far exceeded our expectations!
⛱️ Attentive service. Everyone from the front desk to the housekeeping staff was warm and thoughtful. All our requests were remembered, giving us a wonderful sense of being truly well-cared for.
💐 Beautiful scenery. Looking out from the balcony, you get a view of the island-style swimming pool surrounded by lush, blooming flowers.
🥳 Spacious and comfortable suite. As a family of three, having two bedrooms gave us plenty of space to relax and feel at home.
🏖️ Convenient location. The Yalong Bay public beach, night market, and shopping center are just across the street, yet it remains very quiet at night.
All in all, great service, gorgeous views—choosing this place for a family getaway is a safe bet!

Guest UserThis stay with my child exceeded my expectations. Ella's service was incredibly warm and friendly, and we were so lucky to get a room upgrade, which was a wonderful surprise! The hotel offers a fantastic array of children's activities, with bubble parties and craft sessions scheduled non-stop, keeping my child entertained and happy all day long. The restaurant has a wide selection of dishes, and the breakfast was fresh, abundant, and delicious. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall service was thoughtful and attentive, allowing parents to relax while their kids play. It's truly perfect for a family vacation. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Sanya. I wholeheartedly recommend it to families with children.

SERGII MOROZOVGood day everyone. The Crowne Plaza hotel stands out for its elegance and distinctive style. It's worth noting that cleanliness and service are at a high level. The cuisine is Chinese. It's worth noting the service during visits to the restaurant — everything is cleaned up promptly; dishes are cleared, so to speak, by hand without carts, which ensures comfort for hotel guests. The grounds are excellent. The location — the exit to the sea is across the road and depends on the weather; the sea can have a different character. For swimming in the sea, it's better to walk about 100 meters to the left from the swimming area — at that spot there's a pleasant entry into the sea with no underwater rocks. Overall, this hotel can be recommended for a vacation. Have a pleasant holiday, everyone.

LinglingqishengMy InterContinental Resort stay was fantastic this time. First, a big thanks to our butler, Bonnie Tan, for upgrading us to a Deluxe Seaview room. We could see the ocean and the sunrise, although it was a pity that heavy rain the first two days made the nearshore waters murky. As of now, after two days, the yellowish area has reduced by about a third; I estimate it will take a week to fully clear up. Yesterday, the sunrise was partly obscured by clouds, but it was still beautiful.
The room layout was excellent, very spacious with a wide open plan. The bathroom had two sinks and a vanity, and the shower faced the sea, perfect for watching the sunrise in the morning. The bathtub was on the balcony; if I had stayed another day, I definitely would have enjoyed it.
The Tianfu Chinese restaurant was delicious. They had a great value couple's set menu. The Crispy Pork Sandwich was perfect for those with a taste from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. The grouper felt like it weighed a pound, and the chicken fat rice was so good I posted about it on both Dianping and Xiaohongshu. Other à la carte dishes were a bit pricey, probably 300-400 RMB per person.
The tennis court was affordable at 180 RMB an hour, including rackets. They were all Wilson rackets; I couldn't identify the model but definitely not the Clash series. There were two with thin grips and two with thicker ones. Like the court itself, they were quite old. The pink thin-grip one I used felt like the strings were a bit loose, not as tight as the blue thin-grip one. The staff also set up a table and chairs, providing towels and water, which was a nice touch.
The hotel lobby had a very high ceiling, grand decor, and an expansive space that was truly refreshing, much better than the feeling I got at the Yalong Bay Marriott. All the staff were friendly and greeted guests, and service was very responsive, including the front desk, lobby, Tianfu Bay restaurant, family pool, tennis court, and even the maintenance staff on the beach 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

HanihaniThis was the last hotel of our trip, and we stayed at the InterContinental Hainan Clearwater Bay Resort (Yanlord Crown Plaza), which is said to be the absolute ceiling for traveling with toddlers ⭐️ Although we only stayed for one night due to a tight schedule, missed many activities, and didn't get to fully explore the place with our baby, the actual stay and on-site experience were phenomenal~ Even better than our previous hotel~
First of all, the staff proactively greeted us and helped with the luggage 🧳 Of course, almost every hotel does that, but then a lovely staff member came over to put a flower garland on us. It was full of ceremony and made us feel like we were on a vacation abroad—such a familiar and delightful vibe, and our baby loved it~ Then we headed to the front desk for check-in, where a dedicated butler is assigned right away. We were super lucky to be assigned an amazingly wonderful butler—Polly. She proactively helped us upgrade our room type, thoughtfully explained all the precautions and hotel activities, and let us know we could reach out to her via WeChat anytime for any questions~ The baby even got a special, very cute custom card~
Next was checking into the room. The room is huge! The upgraded Executive Full Ocean View room has an incredible view—a 180-degree ocean vista, which is very nice 👍 The room was also clean and tidy with no musty smell~ The basic minibar and welcome fruits were provided, and they even offered Bvlgari toiletries~ We were truly satisfied with the room, especially compared to the older hotel we stayed at previously (though older hotels have their own kind of convenience, of course)~
Bed rails were installed in the room upon request, and since the baby's birthday is in a few days, we left a note when booking and received a complimentary birthday setup 🎉 As for the cake, it might have been cutting it close, but my gorgeous butler Polly still managed to request one for us, and it was delivered that very night. It tasted great too, and the baby loved it 💕
Next, let's talk about the hotel's recreational facilities. There is a Qilin Wonderland, but it's more suitable for older kids; our little one is too young, so the soft play area was a better fit~ The baby had a blast, and also thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon bubble party. There is a heated rooftop infinity pool; apart from the wind being a bit strong, everything else was great, and the baby played there for a long time. We didn't go into the public pool downstairs, so I won't comment on that. It's a short and very convenient walk from the rooms to the beach, but the sand at Haitang Bay is coarse—not as ideal for sandcastle building as Yalong Bay. The waves were just as strong as when we visited before, and the beach doesn't provide lounge chairs. In short, if you want a great sand-playing and beach-lounging experience 🏖️, Yalong Bay is a better choice~
The hotel's breakfast was pretty decent too, and the noodle soup was delicious. The dinner BBQ buffet was genuinely good, and all the mixed cocktails were tasty~
To sum up, our experience at Yanlord was fantastic. We will definitely bring our baby back next time for a more in-depth stay. My beautiful butler Polly was super amazing and extremely responsive—two thumbs up 👍

The high-floor room offers a fantastic ocean view and great ventilation. The hotel is connected to Marriott, and the public areas are very spacious. The breakfast is abundant with plenty of choices. There's a food court nearby with a wide variety of options. Excellent value for money.

doyleThe room is beautifully decorated, simple and elegant, and equipped with smart equipment. Every morning when you wake up and open the curtains, you can see the scenery of the fields. It is very comfortable to take a swim in the swimming pool before going to bed at night.
It takes about 20 minutes to ride a bike from the B&B to Shimei Bay. Since I mainly went surfing this time, I rode the small electric donkey in the store every day and went to the beach with the sea breeze. It was very comfortable.
The most important thing is that the boss lady and the staff are very enthusiastic. They will invite guests to have barbecue, drink and chat in the evening. In short, it is a very good experience. I will go there again if I have the opportunity.

_jiayibingdingdedingWe stayed in an apartment-style room. The elevators for the hotel rooms and the apartments are separate, with the hotel rooms located on the higher floors. The location is great, the service was very responsive, and the breakfast was abundant. However, the apartments use an electric water heater that doesn't provide a continuous supply of hot water, so if multiple people are showering, you have to wait in between, which was quite inconvenient. Also, the window glass was either dirty or the tint film had aged, which somewhat spoiled the view.

The hotel has a beautiful environment and a wonderful overall ambiance. Throughout our stay, our butler Steven was exceptionally attentive and thoughtful. Before our arrival, every question we had—regarding EV charging, parking, various promotional offers, and laundry—was answered clearly and patiently. When the balcony door in our room had a minor issue, the response was prompt, and staff were immediately sent to fix it. He also helped us coordinate and arrange our room in advance, which offered a fantastic ocean view, thoughtfully surprised us with a delicate fruit platter, and carefully reminded us of island mosquito precautions. Near check-out, Steven proactively asked about our stay experience, helped arrange a late check-out, and registered our license plate info, saving us a lot of hassle. The entire experience was thorough, reliable, professional, and relaxing. It was a wonderful island vacation, and we’d love to come back again given the chance.
