Haikou Marriott Hotel
$90-150/natt
Bestill dette hvis You want a quiet, resort-style escape on Haikou's West Coast or have business at the Convention Center.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Spacious rooms with massive balconies and ocean views
- Quiet location away from the chaotic city center
- Resort-style pool complex with hot spring pools
Hurtig oversikt: A solid business-leisure hybrid that feels grand but slightly soulless, suffering from the typical 'hardware maintenance' drift of older Chinese five-star hotels.
Gjennomgått av @daddy.xj: I was blown away by how family-friendly this spot is. My Premier Room was huge with a killer ocean view, but the real highlight was the mini farm and lazy river. I honestly didn't feel the need to leave the resort at all. Perfect for a stress-free family trip.

Reality check
The 'beachfront' claim is technical—you have to cross a road or walk through a park to actually touch the sand.
- You are attending an event at the Hainan International Convention & Exhibition Center
- You prefer a quiet pool day over exploring gritty local markets
- You are traveling with kids who need a dedicated pool and club
Renslighet og vedlikehold
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, but attention to detail (dust on high shelves) can be lacking.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout and corners show age. Some reports of musty smells due to the tropical climate.
- Maintenance: Hardware is tired. Scuffed furniture and peeling paint on balconies are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Clean and crisp, though some guests find the towels a bit thin.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature Marriott tea scent, but hallways and some rooms struggle with lingering cigarette smoke.

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Is the Executive Lounge open?
Yes, but offerings vary. Recent reports suggest it may be limited to snacks and soft drinks during the day, with a simplified 'Happy Hour' in the evening.
How far is the airport?
Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK) is about 45-50 minutes away by taxi (approx. 100-120 RMB).
Is there a shuttle to downtown?
No dedicated hotel shuttle to downtown. You will need to rely on Didi (Chinese Uber) or taxis.
Can I swim in the ocean here?
It's possible at Holiday Beach nearby, but the water is often rough and not the crystal clear blue you find in Sanya.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. The buffet at Island Bistro is extensive but quality is often described as 'average' for a 5-star.
Are there restaurants within walking distance?
Very few. You are mostly limited to the hotel restaurants or a short taxi ride to the Holiday Beach food stalls.

Ordering food delivery (Waimai) is possible; a robot will often deliver it to your room door.
