See what other travelers say about Ocean Star
I intentionally planned my New Year’s Eve celebration at The Mangrove Sanya in Hainan, and it was my second stay here — and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I stepped into the room, the view of the endless blue sea and swaying palm trees through the window just took my breath away. The atmosphere is serene and relaxing, and the cleanliness of the room was spotless — even the smallest corners were meticulously maintained. Everything about this place feels thoughtfully designed. The facilities are impressive, especially for photography lovers; every corner looks like a magazine spread. My personal highlight was the private heated pool — perfect for a quiet evening swim under the stars. It’s so peaceful and romantic. The breakfast menu was fantastic, especially the local noodles — simple but delicious. And the coffee? Made right in front of me with rich crema and deep aroma — you can tell it’s top quality. I loved having an iced espresso with a full cup of ice, super refreshing. Even the little side dishes like the cute sweet potatoes and yam slices added charm to the meal. The staff, especially our dedicated host Xiao Zhan, went above and beyond with warm, personalized service. This trip felt luxurious without feeling overpriced. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway that blends comfort, beauty, and genuine care, this is the place.
