time in Sanya, the first long journey of a two-and-a-half-year-old child
After two months of preparation, we set off on an adventure in Sanya on the second day of the Lunar New Year. The 17:50 flight, my son was more adaptable on the plane than I imagined, he took out his caterpillar and started reading, and fell asleep before takeoff, probably related to the fact that I had instilled in him in advance that he should be quiet on the plane and could take a nap✌.
20:50 arrived at Sanya Phoenix International Airport, booked a pick-up in advance on Ctrip, because it was the first time, afraid of not finding the boarding point, so I spent an extra 20 yuan to buy a pick-up sign, which proved to be very good, the driver was very responsible👍, we were told the location as soon as we landed (right at the door where we picked up our luggage).
After an hour's drive, we arrived at the first hotel: Haitang Bay Grand Hyatt, when booking it was said to be a parent-child hotel, but in reality it is a business hotel, it has been around for a while, but the service is still online. We didn't plan any sightseeing spots, we just wanted to check in at the underwater restaurant in Haitang Bay, so we took a taxi to the Tianfang Intercontinental Hotel the next day. Here I have to say, the traffic in Haitang Bay is very congested, because of the duty-free city (the same road, 19 yuan for a taxi on the way, 45 yuan for a taxi on the way back, 1 kilometer away from the destination our car was rear-ended ). The underwater restaurant at the Tianfang Intercontinental is not as famous as the Atlantis, but the actual check-in experience is very cost-effective, 798 per person, the main course is a small green dragon, unlimited refill of wine, a lot of seafood buffet, and vinegar lees hot pot, there is also a mermaid show, the fish are also quite abundant, the children eat very happily, and also watch very happily.
On the third day, as planned, we transferred to the boundary island, once again witnessed the congestion in Sanya, Sanya's highway is free, so it feels like the highway and the city's ordinary roads are the same. It took nearly 3 hours to get to the tourist center of the boundary island, where there is a front desk of the island club, show the hotel reservation information, you don't need to spend money to buy boat tickets, get tickets, go VIP on the boat, about ten minutes by boat, after landing is the island club, the room is better than expected, you can sleep with the sound of the waves. The boundary island is very photogenic, after landing on the island, the island club is a five-minute walk to the left is the Moonlight Ancient Castle, the water is very clear, but to play on this island, you have to avoid the peak, usually after five o'clock the tourists have left the island, you can stroll on the beach, before 9 o'clock in the morning there are relatively few people. The island is quite commercialized, the staff on the island are all quite nice. If you bring children, it is recommended to stay for one night, the internet celebrity feed devil fish, 80 per person for two fish, although it starts at 9:30, but before 8:30 there is already a long queue. After feeding the fish, take the cable car to the cliff restaurant, 78 per person, actually the food is average, mainly an environment, after eating buy tickets to see the 11 o'clock ocean theater, the sea lion seal dolphin performance inside is average, just to check in and feed the fish on the transparent boat, feed the turtles, one child and one adult accompany 150, the child is quite happy, it's worth it.
After feeding, we went down the island, 98 kilometers of road, nearly two and a half hours by taxi, Sanya is definitely congested. Arrived at the last hotel: Sanya Bay Holiday Hotel, this parent-child hotel is relatively new, highly recommended, the service is very good, the Chinese food in the hotel is very cost-effective, the swimming pool outside is very clean, swimming rings and other free rental, children play quite happily, the hotel also has a lot of activities. The hotel is opposite the beach, you can watch the sunset, the hotel has free airport transfer service (9:00-17:00) the butler is very thoughtful, overall the cost performance is quite high.
Considering that the child is small and didn't force to visit the scenic spots, also sat in the car for a long time on the road, the cost of living is also high, but overall, Sanya is indeed more suitable for a slow-paced relaxing vacation, but in the peak season, it is still necessary to book the machine and wine in advance.
