Pullman Oceanview Sanya Bay Resort & Spa

I stayed here for 5 days in December with my two children aged 11 and 7. We had a great time. The staff are very helpful and the hotel is well kept. The children really enjoyed the heated pool which is open well into the evening. The beach is also a short walk from the resort and the beach chairs are reserved for Pullman guests. There are lots of activities for the children to do during the day and the gym has everything that you need for a morning workout. Before we arrived, the customer relations team reached out and answered any questions that we had. I was especially impressed with the service provided by Perhu who helped us book taxis, gave recommendations and was just a great help! The breakfast buffet has lots of different options with western and chinese. Some days there were fewer vegetarian options but on the whole, there is a wide variety. There is a buffet and hot pot option for dinner at the hotel which was lovely. It can work out quite expensive for a family but the food is very fresh and the chef's will cook meat and fish to your requirments upon request.

From check-in to check-out, it was all fantastic. Customer service was at another level. Mostly in part to Perou who took great care of us. Nothing was trouble for her to sort out for us. This is a great hotel if you have chidlren.

The hotel amenities are very good and it's child friendly but the management is not that good, we had an issue late at night and manager on duty refused to help us, I'm just thinking what if it was an emergency with our baby or one of us!! we weren't expecting such answer from a manager in Pullman

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pullman Sanya Bay with our 2 children this week. We stayed 4 nights and the kids had so much fun at the water park, the kids club, the playground, the foam party, and of course the calm beach which is ideal for kids to play on. Our trip was made extra special due in large part to Wayne, the F&B mgr, who took care of our every need. Dean and Cindy were also so helpful in the restaurants. The only thing that could be improved upon was the master bed in the 2bedroom apartment suite. It was so incredibly hard and uncomfortable. Wayne to the rescue though! He had the housekeeping staff add an extra mattress topper, which helped but it was still a VERY hard mattress. We would love to return for another relaxing family holiday, though!

We had booked an Oceanview 2 bedroom apartment which was otherwise excellent choice but... seriously... the bed on the main bedroom sucked big time. While I understand that in China the stone - hard - bed is more of a common thing at homes, I wouldn't expect it at the facility with this price tag....I had to sleep on the sofa for two out of three nights we spent there. Other than that, the apartment was very nice, seen some time but still in quite good shape. Check in was a somewhat understaffed and slow but I understand that as there are so many documents the staff needs to deal with. Maybe another person in the apartment check-in at the time of arrival would had done the trick (at least for the family behind us who was anxiously waiting and demanding attention). Other than that, good work. Breakfast was extremely well organized in the super busy main restaurant. I liked the seating system and was happy that this was executed also to the local audience too. The waiting staff at the breakfast was super trained and attentive and even with their limited English skills and my very low Chinese skills we were able to get things sorted out. Good experience. Pool access was well arranged though sunbed access was limited. Maybe some further instruction and rules for the sunbed reservation could be in place. This time it was the chaps from some central european nation who were reserving some prime site sunbeds with their stuff from dawn till dusk regardless of them being there or not... shame on them - Kudos for thee pool staff who were able to navigate through the cultural differences and were able to provide the best they had in hand. Pool service through the app was super fast and accurate, though learning to read the given English language instructions on the order form could had reduced the additional distance the waiting staff had to do in two of our inquiries. Beach -side access... good. Sunbeds were pretty well available and time by time the staff were courteous enough to remove random dwellers from occupying the already occupied chairs Seafood BBQ & Hotpot... well organized, good, fresh food. Some minor service issue (due to communications). Well worth the money spent. Overall great experience at the Pullman Oceanview - we'll be back
