Overall Ratings & Reviews Pullman Oceanview Sanya Bay Resort & Spa

Nice place to stay with young kids. Close to beach, safe.

Nice family vacation resort

Excellent service overall. Hotel could add some more chairs around the pool and on their part of the beach.

Great place for kids!

The Pullman was recommended to us by our work colleagues. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, as we wanted to spend the first five nights of our summer holiday relaxing! Most of our time was spent by the pool; we particularly enjoyed relaxing by the "adult" pool, but the general pool was also great with plenty of activities for kids, and a swim-up bar. This is a great choice of hotel for families as there are plenty of amenities for children. There was a very good choice of food at breakfast, including a non-dairy milk alternative, and various western/Chinese options. The one upside of the breakfast being busy was that the food was fresh and regularly replenished. Our room was spacious with a sea view balcony. We upgraded our room when we arrived at the hotel to include the club lounge access. However, we were a little disappointed with the club lounge, as it did not feel particularly "exclusive" compared to other hotels where we have enjoyed similar benefits in a more private and secluded setting. Despite this, we would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a few days where you can chill by a pool (it is also very close to the airport!).

The quality of the hotel is really new and up to date. The bed is comfortable, the rooms are very clean, and the swimming pools are quite nice. I did not pay for the breakfast in advance, but I went down a few mornings and was surprised at the variety and quality of food at the buffet.

Unusual for China the service was great and everything was clean and worked. We were there as part of my Birthday and when the hotel found out they decorated my room and brought a cake and candles to eat on the balcony. The beach nearby is good but unnecessary as there are several beautiful pools. The eat as much as you like BBQ and Philipino band were quite good and Halloween themed night produced a really good effort from the staff. Has a great time and would have returned new year but booked out.

The hotel is a beautiful and luxurious choice for a peaceful getaway. You get everything you expect from an international high-end hotel. The room is comfortable and modern and nicely designed. The resort site has amazing swimming pools. The kids pools are awesome but there’s a beautiful adults pool that’s long enough to do lengths and surrounded by shaded sunloungers. You can easily spend the whole afternoon there. There is easy walking access to the beach and the resort provides a private area of sunbeds and parasols. The ocean is very nice for cooling off (although the sea is SO warm!) I enjoyed a morning run beside the beach through the trails of the coconut corridor. The food At the hotel is good quality and not a bad price for a high-end hotel, including a decent room service menu with lots of western options. The pizzas are great! The staff are superb and most of them speak English. Cindy and Vincent are especially wonderful. The breakfast was pretty excellent though I didn’t have it every day - it’s about 107 yuan if you pay as you go. Me and my friend had an awesome time. If there is anything to be aware of it is that there is not much going on nearby. The strip down Sanyawan Road here is mainly hotel after hotel, which is perfect for chilling and doing not much. If you want to go to Dadonghai, for example, just take a taxi for about 40 yuan (and I believe regular buses travel the route too). I’ll definitely treat this hotel as my secret China getaway from now on.

I stayed a week here. It was exactly what I needed for a solo trip to relax. The pools were great and no need to really leave the resort and beach area. It's not close to town where all the restaurants are, but if you enjoy walking or riding a bike, then it's not bad at all. The trade off being away from the crowded city and crowded beaches is worth the 20-30min bike ride to the city area. My only complaint was that my non-smoking room smelled pretty strongly when I first arrived. The smell faded the longer I was there though. Chinese smoke heavily and do not always follow smoking policies, so I'm sure all the rooms are like that.

Excellent stay at the Pullman. The staff couldn’t do enough to ensure my stay was first class. Hotel was perfect in every way. Pools great, food for every taste. Overall excellent

One of my best holidays ever. Especially the staff always helpful and offer you the best deals. Even staying at the resort was so much fun. I went there with my little one and he was super happy with everything, especially the pools.

Swimming pool was very shaded by the surrounding trees, at times it feels cold.

Service is of high standards. It is easy to get a taxi or the concierge can arrange the hotel driver and car if you intend to take a day tour of around 8 hours around sights. Breakfast is extensive range. Quite a bit of amenities if you have children-playground trampoline some arcade child games feeding fishes and bicycle and pool games for children. There is a big plus point that it has a underpass leading to a private beach overlooking sanya Bay so u need not cross the busy street to get to beach. The only thing it is slightly dated. Probably a bit of sprucing up required. Overall a great hotel.

A truly excellent hotel in a super location. Rooms and breakfast were amazing. I want to go again!

I moved from another hotel in Sanya to get improved facilities, including language, food and beachfront position. I wasn't disappointed. The service was excellent, facilities great, including the beach side loungers. The sands restaurant produced sound superb food -local produce. it was a shame that restaurant (sands) wasn't being used by the Hotel residents as it was empty. The guys at the front door were very willing and helpful. I had a great stay there and would go again.

Our stay was overall pleasant in the deluxe ocean view room. Upon arrival, we were allowed to check in early as there was an available empty room which was perfect for us after a red eye flight. Not too sure how true this is, but we also got a free upgrade for the room to a higher level. The view from the room was beautiful - we could see the waves crashing in the day and also get a clear view of the moon at night. The hotel is pretty accessible, with a bus stop within a few minutes walk from the underpass that also leads to the private beach. It can be reached by bus number 8 (approx. 3 RMB per pax) from the airport or a short cab ride (approx. 20 RMB). While the resort staff told us that there aren't any restaurants nearby, we found a few food choices close by - you can walk about 3-5 minutes from the underpass to one of the best ranked seafood restaurant in the Sanya Bay on Baidu (it's called 小海豚 xiao hai tun). The restaurant serves fresh seafood and the prices are pretty affordable. There's also some restaurant selling coconut chicken nearby. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to downtown, but you have to book in advance. Otherwise, you can also take the public bus from the bus stop behind the resort (along the seaside) which only costs 3 RMB. Drinks at the lobby bar sucked though. My mint lemonade cost me 38 RMB and it was merely iced water with mint flavouring/green coloring with 1 slice of lemon. Also, bring insect repellent to avoid mozzie bites.

I was greeted with a glass of delicious coconut milk upon and an English speaker upon check in which made the experience very seamless. The staff and their service is very good offering both English and Mandarin speakers. The room was very nice but could use some TLC. The pool was okay as there aren't many lounge chairs available considering the size of the hotel. The hotel also seems to cater greatly to families with children which can be a little annoying for couples and single travellers as all the activities for kids are done in the main pool. There should be a sectioned off area for the pool activities. Buffet breakfast was pretty standard, nothing exceptional. I would also suggest the staff seating the guests because every day I had to search for 2-4 minutes for a table (I was a solo traveller) and some guests would waste a table for their bags or personal items. The balcony view is great and the private access to the beach is very convenient.

The property is clean and well maintained. The exterior facilities are great.

The staff were very friendly and helpful especially when we tried to arrange for food delivery and courier. Although the apartment is a little worn out, it is rather clean.

The rooms are spacious and clean. The air-condition is ok. The staff are very friendly, polite, and helpful. Very nice experience. The only thing that is not as pleasant is that it is not within walking distance to any interesting places or shops, and it’s not convenient to get a taxi.
