Fascinating Holidays

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Jul 2022
It was again great to be back to our favorite Hotel in Sanya. From the minute of arrival we could enjoy the great service and hospitality. Especially I would like to mention the Club Millesime around Cindy, Zora and all the other staff there. They took so much care of us and our needs! And Laifong helped us organize whatever we needed. Beside the great staff, the hotel area, swimming pools and views are fantastic. And we really like the Thai restaurant! I recommend to just go there, you will not regret it.

This is our third or fourth stay at the Leeman. While the quality of service, cleanliness and overall Sofitel standard is there, we found that some things were not quite to the level of our previous visits. This is likely due to a combination of low occupancy and Covid restrictions. Marc and his team are clearly doing their best and much of the Sofitel standard remains. Clean rooms, nice breakfast, beautiful grounds, lovely pools, etc. We found the move of the lounge to a meeting room on the other side of the lobby (although probably temporary) to be less comfortable. The air conditioning in our suite was great on one half and not as good in our bedroom half. We contacted the front desk and they tried to fix it but it just wasn’t quite cold enough through your stay. The Thai restaurant wasn’t open for most of our stay although it did open in a limited capacity at the end. It is still tasty! Also the pool bar wasn’t open during our stay but seemed like it might be opening soon. We were able to order drinks and ice through QR codes at the pool but it just took a little longer than if the pool bar was available. In short, we still love this property and it still the best place to stay in Haitang. Like with most organizations in China right now there’s a slight degradation of quality. I’m sure once occupancy returns and Covid restrictions abate the Sofitel will be right back up to number one.

Room tip: High floors have best views of the ocean.

We spent a week of holidays at this hotel, so far services are professional and courteous.
But because of the COVID’s situation, not all the services are working normally, all restaurants are not open everyday as usual.
It’s our second time in this hotel, but this time, we didn’t get the same feeling as last time stay where everything seems functioning normal like a resort place for holidays when people come there and forget about the outside world of Covid-19’s and restrictions… this time we feel like Covid-19’s is happening at the hotel until the buffet meals…
So far the kid’s club and all kids activities are still working daily.
Big swimming pool are still great and very well maintained garden ground is still nice .
We booked our stay with Sofitel sale’s services through Lilian was fast and efficient.
But we will wait a while before to come back again to Sanya because of the Covid-19’s restrictions, I guess all the hotels are following up the same rules restrictions there…
All in all, Sofitel is still a good place to stay for our holidays at Sanya.

Room tip: Check about the Covid-19’s restrictions at Sanya before you go… and book the club lounge access room.

The resort lies in the wonderful Haitang Bay near Sanya. Awesome outside area with access to different pools. Great variety which allows you different experiences throughout the day. I liked most the little beach area surrounded by tropical trees and plants.
Food was delicious, great breakfast and creative snacks and sweets for afternoon tea and happy hour.
Rooms are spacious, nice interior design without missing the view for the details.

Overall a great stay at Sofitel Leeman Sanya

We have stayed at the Sofitel Sanya Leeman Resort on many occasions and it is always such a pleasure.

The staff are outstanding and very caring and professional.

Our timing this time was a little unlucky; no sooner had we arrived than an area lockdown was put into place meaning some facilities had to be closed.

Marc and his team went above and beyond, not only to make sure that we were safe and all regulations were complied with, but also that we were happy and comfortable during our stay.

The hotel itself is beautiful with a huge light-filled lobby and a variety of pools and activities available. The rooms are tasteful and comfortable; my favourite is the Lagoon Pool room which has direct access to a quiet pool.

The breakfasts are delicious and I’m a big fan of the pizza that’s made fresh in the pizza oven.

I recommend this hotel to everyone!

Room tip: Parking onsite is included in the cost. The pizzas are delicious!

An excellent and relaxing vacation. A beautiful well laid out hotel with amazing pool and ground facilities. Most incredible breakfast offering at the buffet restaurant and warm sincere service from the chefs and the service staff, ably led by Jimo. The staff at the club lounge were super friendly and cheerful. I was offered a scarf when the staff there realised I was feeling cold!!! If you intend to visit Sanya, this hotel is highly recommended.
