Xiangshui Bay ARK·Yuehai No.1 Seaview Hotel

The good: The manager, Stanley, was very professional and ready to help when we needed it. The sea view is the best I've had in Hainan. I came to this hotel again mainly for the view. You can even hear the waves from the room and see the stars at night. Many people complain about the breakfast in the comment section, but it's not bad at all. There's different kinds of fruit, bread, coffee, eggs and write a few other dishes. It's definitely not five star, but my girlfriend and I (she's Chinese and I'm Canadian) enjoyed a long breakfast every morning. There's barely ever anybody on the beach and it's okay to go for dip in the sea, but you're technically not supposed to swim in it. There's a an area about 700 meters from the hotel where you can find different restaurants. The pool is very nice but isn't heated. You can easily get around just walking, renting the electric bikes and calling a taxi to get to some hiking spots. We didn't find it necessary to rent a car despite being remote. The bad: You are technically not supposed to swim in the sea. The pool is too cold to comfortably swim in when the weather is not hot. The cleaning service does just an okay job on cleaning the room. There's no really good restaurants around that we could find. Although I find this to be a problem in most areas of Hainan. There is no real variation of food. There's no breathing in the rooms. Bring snacks because it's hard to find food in the afternoon unless you order from the town, but then you have to wait for it to arrive and the options are limited. There is a gym but with limited equipment.

fabulous this resort even it's getting much old from the past years of pandemic but the family room is good to live with a super big the terrace appx 30sqm, good sea view and beach side

I only stayed here for one night, but it was amazing. The staff was super helpful. I can’t speak Chinese and they were very patient with me. The room was super clean and the beach is just 50m from the hotel. Nice and secluded, not busy at all and the most beautiful views.

The location is bit at side and withdrawn from restaurants and cafe However the place is place quiet and the beach very quiet. The garden and the pool are pretty and pleasant The Manager was keen to help

This place was incredible. We got a free upgrade to a suite with huge terrace and sea view. Beach is nice and has some amenities. Breakfast is also large and nice. Service very good. If you drive and want to discover places off the beaten track, this place is recommendable. Free parking in front of the hotel.

Pretty nice place to stay near the beach with not many people arond
