Beach Hotels in Haikou

Excellent experience. Staff were so friendly. We enjoyed our time at IHG

I arrived at the Sheraton Haikou directly from the MGM Grand Sanya, and without a doubt, the Sheraton was a much nicer experience in many aspects. Check-in at the Sheraton (I am a foreign tourist, so I understand there are procedures to be undertaken) was under five minutes, whereas it took about 45 minutes at the MGM Grand, and they could immediately process a credit card payment, whereas the MGM Grand staff had to firstly locate such a machine and then find a second one after the first didn't function. One truly superior feature of the Sheraton is its live music and lobby bar. I enjoyed every second of the multilingual singer and keyboardist, who alternated between English- and Chinese-language songs. This was complemented by the central location of the bar (which allowed for people watching in the lobby) and a relaxing, dimly lit atmosphere. No such central bar exists at the MGM Grand Sanya, where their singers' English-language songs were practically incomprehensible to native speakers, as they clearly must not have been born, raised, or studied in an English environment. The Sheraton has a very lush, tropical tree-filled outdoor walkway leading to the resort's pool and beach that is particularly beautiful at nighttime, and the Breeze restaurant had a wonderful selection of international foods with great wait staff service. Lastly, the housekeeping staff was incredibly efficient, detailed, and responsive.

Everything else is fabulous but most importantly, the Chinese hospitality and excellent customer service thats truly unmatched. Something you can never experience in the US.

Our room was very comfortable, and as a bonus, we were given a complimentary breakfast. This was very convenient since there aren't many places to eat nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you want to go swimming, the beach is less than 10 minutes away by car (or about 30 minutes on foot).
