Tucked away on the outskirts of Sanya, Qingtang Village is your secret escape from city chaos. Weathered brick houses draped in tropical foliage paint a living postcard of Hainan's traditional village life. Wander labyrinthine alleyways to discover elders crafting palm-leaf zongzi sticky rice, best paired with fresh wampee fruit. As dusk falls, join locals under the ancient banyan tree – their Li ethnic folktales and coconut wine will make you forget resort beaches ever existed.

This family-friendly hotel is a hidden gem in Haitang Bay! Just minutes to duty-free shopping and Wuzhizhou Island, it features themed rooms with Serta mattresses (yes, the same as Burj Al Arab!). Kids love the play area with safety rails, while parents unwind in the book lounge. Rated 4.5/5 for its thoughtful design and great location near local eateries. Pro tip: Don't miss the open-air balcony with laundry space – travel smart!

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.
