Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay

Guests who stayed here loved

“I stayed here for a 40th birthday celebration and the stay was wonderful. The hotel itself is beautifully kept, with spectacular landscaping, tropical plants including flowers and fruit trees, and situated between the sea and the mountains. Check-in staff were friendly and welcoming, housekeeping did an outstanding job, and even set up a birthday celebration arrangement in the room (spelled out 'happy birthday' in petals, gave a cake etc), for which I am extremely grateful. I loved the furniture in the room, which included a beautiful four poster bed and an intricately carved wooden desk. The gondola on the hotel canal is lovely (we did this twice), the swimming pool was excellent (towels, suncream, mosquito spray supplied, plenty of sun loungers too). The hotel even has some bonus features including a Ming dynasty museum onsite and a VR game room. The evening fire show was a nice touch too. Special mention to the Spanish restaurant onsite 'La Mesa', which delivered exceptional service and delicious food. Thank you. We paid extra for lounge access, but in fact there was not a lounge. We had access to the breakfast room twice a day, once for snacks (sandwiches, cakes, fruit) and once for hot food (fried rice, noodles, Chinese dishes- buffet style). 'Cocktails' were also available. (Premade tall glasses of various syrup with alcohol, no-one knew what was in them or how to make a fresh cocktail upon request. We were told they were the hotel's 'signature cocktail'- they tasted like sugary water). The 'lounge' had no sofas or relaxing areas, it had kids there, dirty tongs and free-for-all buffet food. Not really what I imagined or expected. Breakfast was below expectations too- squash instead of juice, limited fruit (watermelon, jackfruit, sour apples) considering Hainan is a tropical island!, great range of Chinese-style breakfast (noodles, congee, steamed buns etc) but limited international breakfast options. Went to the bar on our last day at 19:20 and it was closed. These areas could be improved, however they did not ruin the stay. Overall, the Fairmont was excellent!”
