Excellent Hotel for families, especially for foreigners. Personal Guest Assistant manages family activity events and kids entertainment program at no extra charges. Customer satisfaction and caretaking is their highest priority. Absolutely best family hotel in Sanya Haitan Bay Region - we visited many other before!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great everything. Had a wonderful stay while on business trip, and that property was almost perfect in everything. Not super crowded, and everything was within a good walking distance. (It was massive, tho, and you can easily get lost if you miss the directions; it took me a while. Great breakfast. Quiet. Almost too quiet because everytime I go to the gym at 6am, I was really by myself in a big mansion. I would have preferred a bigger gym, tho.
Pleasure to stay, relax and spend time with the family. Service, and kids-friendly environment made this holidy trip prestigious moment. Big thanks to the Sofitel Team!

noice very loud for group activity. bad service counter staff while check in
Very nice hotel indeed. Considering the price, highly recommended.
Nearly half the price of top grade resorts such as mandarine oriental or sangrila.
Facilities are new, clean and Breakfast buffet is great.
Everything is very beautiful and beach is relatively close. Pools are great, too.
Rooms are great but they could have used a little better mattress, not the top of the line mattress.
However in the lobby, there is no air conditioning. Sanya is very hot and humid.
It is cool to have a open lobby, but it def needs air conditioning.
Dinner buffet was not so great compared to breakfast, and Chinese restaurant is Good. Not great. Just good.
I would recommend this hotel.
Revisit? I don't know. Just overall I don't think Sanya is a place to visit twice in a life time.
Wuzhizhou island was very disappointing. Very commercialized with overpriced activities.
If you were in Cali or Cancun, activities could be done right in front of your hotel,
but you have to take a ferry to the island to do those activities, and it was not that fun.
I recommend to just stay at the resort and just rest. Don't bother going to other locations.
But my trip to Sanya was very satisfying!
Kaikki hotelliin liittyvät asiat aivan OK, henkilökunta tosi ystävällistä.
Kaikki meni chek out:iin saakka loistavasti.
Tämänjälkeen iso ongelma, takuumaksuna 2:sta huoneesta yhtä 6000rmb ei ole hotelli vieläkään palauttanut ( lähdöstä 3vrk).
Matkustan paljon ja tämä on pohjanoteeraus.
We wanted to experience Haitong Bay and had moved to Sofitel from a XiaoDong Bay hotel. Sofitel is definitly a superbly designed property and has some nice touches - kids pools, warm water pools, large lap pools, activity pools and a huge variety of places to lay, sit, rest, nest, swing outdoors. They gym was good, but it could have used a few more machines. I noticed they had a pole, for dancing! Staff were good, but sometimes could have been more proactive. My major complaint is the helicopter that takes off from near the pools sometimes every 15 minutes for short tours up and down the beach. this is loud and annoying - and really is the key thing that would cause me not to return. Guests should be aware that the "no swimming" signs on the beach by the hotel appear to be permanent. So if you want to swim in the ocean, this is not the beach to stay at.

Four Star hotel at best
I have stayed a five start hotels in Europe, China, Singapore, and the US. This hotel is not run as a five star hotel. We will not come back.
We had a lovely stay at the Sofitel Leeman in Sanya. The hotell was pretty full so we were swiftly upgraded to a suite which was very appreciated. The service was great and the entire resort was delightful, everything from the main building all the way to the beach, we were greeted by friendly staff and lush landscaping. The pool areas consisted of several pools with a different atmosphere, you will definitely find one you like.
Ce que j’ai aimé : les piscines, la propreté, la disponibilité des personnels.
Pas de commentaire négatif hormis que j’ai appris en milieu de séjour que je pouvais bénéficier du club Millésime de l’établissement. Cela m’aurait évité un petit déjeuner musclé avec les 600 personnes arrivées pour un meeting. La responsable de l’établissement s’est bien excusé pour l’oubli.
During our vacation in Sanya we wanted to stay at hotels located on different bays, and after days of researching hotels we decided on the Sofitel Resort. Immediately after arriving we regretted not booking more nights at Soiftel! After a smooth check-in with a paid-for upgrade to a room with a better ocean view, we immediately checked out the grounds. The main pool is beautiful and big, with many areas to swim around and explore. The pools closer to the ocean are also big and clean. The ocean was spectacular. The water is such a pure blue, with gorgeous waves, and a pristine soft sand beach. The only downside is that you can't swim in the ocean on this bay, as there are no nets keeping sharks out. Still it was pretty amazing to be the only people in sight on the beach.
The room itself was very comfortable, I like the modern decor and felt the bed was super comfortable. A few things definitely need some updating like the outdoor patio furniture and one of the sockets was loose in the headboard. Additionally, cleaning staff came back twice after we checked in to add items they had forgotten earlier. On our second day they completely forgot to replace our facecloths, hand, and bath towels that had been taken away. Aside from these small housekeeping issues we loved the room.
In terms of food options the breakfast buffet was very comprehensive with many Western and Chinese options. In addition to breakfast, we also had afternoon tea in the main bar/cafe area.
We stayed one night at Sofitel.. The kid pools area are disappointing. Saw sand and and leaves in the pool and the slide facilities look wearing and not safe. Many pointing edges and no wrapping around the slides. I do not recommend to bring kids to play there. Other adult swimming pools are fine. The beach is nice with fine and smooth sand. The food is also good with many choices.
We tried the dim sum all-you-can-eat lunch and the experience was bad. Food waiting time is too long. Food is served slow. We ordered 3 rounds but what we ordered did not all finally served, even we asked the waiters to follow up the missing dishes. In the end, they just told us that the food order was missing and the restaurant has to be closed. We paid for the price but did not enjoy what we deserved. This is the worst part of our journey.
