Hilton Sanya Yalong Bay Resort & Spa

I stayed at Hilton Sanya Yalong Bay Resort & Spa, expecting a high-quality experience from such a well-known brand, but overall, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The resort is massive, and with so many guests staying at once, it often feels crowded—especially in common areas like the lobby and pool. The service was average at best, lacking the warmth and attentiveness you’d expect from a five-star resort. Another downside is that the hotel feels a little outdated, and while the rooms are spacious, they don’t quite have that modern, luxurious feel. The location is also inconvenient—there are no food stalls or shopping areas nearby, so unless you’re planning to dine in the hotel’s restaurants, you’re left with limited options. Overall, while the Hilton name brings certain expectations, this stay didn’t quite live up to them.

We stayed for 4 nights at Hilton Yalong Bay. It’s a kids friendly resort so they have various activities planned for each day of the week for kids. My 4 year old son really enjoyed the stay here and since we left has been asking when will we return to Hilton. Special thanks to Roy Chen who speaks fluent English and added us on WeChat on the first day. Roy helped to customize the food through the Chef as we wanted to eat only vegetarian. He was very helpful throughout our stay. Highs: 1. The deluxe ocean view Suite was very spacious with two balconies, 3 wash basins, 2 toilets and a big round bath tub. 2. Have many kids friendly swimming pools with different level of depth. 3. All swimming pools are always manned by lifeguards. Pools are temperature controlled and cleaned regularly. 4. Floating rings can be rented at RMB 30 per hour and water guns can be bought just next to the pools. 5. They have a kids restaurant named the Bucket Kingdom which is heaven for kids to play and eat. Lows 1. Breakfast is more Chinese oriented than we had expected but they have western options which was just enough for us. 2. Some food items in the buffet breakfast had names missing or had only Chinese names written. Since we wanted vegetarian only it was at times challenging to understand the ingredients of the food.

Be sure to insist on the top floor when paying extra for the sea view. Don't expect speed or a cordial staff when checking in. The location and amenities are very good, but certainly not worth the price for more than one night.

Great location, beach was clear, comfortable room, big pool area. Loved the BBQ on the beach

Great hotel at Yalong bay with good amenities, good service, good cleaning and good looking, picture worthy swimming pools and environment. Rooms were big with good amount of space. Children enjoyed their time at heated pool and its surrounding white sands. Hotel beach can use more cleaning and can be better. Overall great stay!

Nice rest in Hilton Yalongwan as usual 👍
