Horizon Sanya Yalong Bay Resort & Spa Reviews

We choose this hotel for 3 years already. Advantages: Amazing sea views, beautiful area, delicious breakfast, very pleasant beach area with a lot of shade. Room key card as a waterproof bracelet is a big plus, worry free. Abundance of activities for kids. Fire show was amazing, my son went three times. The photoshooting is included in your stay! You can get 5 pictures for free or pay 599 to get all the pictures (over 100), the shooting process was quick and fun, the pictures are very beautiful! Points to improve: Hotel has many pools but only 2 towel stands, it takes you much time to find the towels and walk to them. More towel stands would be great. Many of the activities are parent-child ones. As a parent I prefer to have some rest time and watch my child play rather than play with him. If the hotel could make a division for different age groups, toddlers could have their easy games with parents, while kids over 5 years old could play alone and have more challenging games. The foam party needs a separate registration and payment. That’s a bit troublesome. Other hotels have it daily for free. The zoo gives you a very depressive feeling - for example, the 5 little deer are kept in a tiny dirty smelly place, they look so sad, your heart is breaking… please close this “attraction”, many animals are suffering there.

Nice beach but staff were not that friendly. Reached around 3pm but waited almost 1 hour to have the room ready. Breakfast buffet were fine with lot of variety but not the quality you will expect.

Perfect beach resort for the family with kids, thank you for the hospitality Horizon, but do it more friendly for international tourists, not only for the domestic guests!

Funny

Very good hotel for families.

Wonderful vacation at the Horizon hotel! This is the best hotel from those where we have stayed in Sanya ! Very convenient location, the amazing sea and the beach. Very good breakfasts! Clean! Very attentive and polite staff! We are very grateful to Mr. William, who helped us all the time from the first day of our vacation until our departure! Experienced, polite, caring, with good English! The best feedback! The territory of the hotel is very large! Great pools, restaurants, various activities for children and many beautiful places to take pictures! Next time we won't even look for another one. We will definitely come back here! Thank you!

Pros: 1.Very close to the beach! Barely a walk at all! 2. Great for families with small children as there’s a lot of shallow pools good for toddler height 3. Lots of slides. About 5 really good ones for ages 3+ and then some smaller ones for younger kids. Best part is adults can go on the slides too! 4. Good amount of pools and spread out which helps it feel less crowded. Also has a roofed in pool in a cave (great if it rains) 5. Excellent seaside buffet and fun entertainment like magic show, fire dancers etc. 6. Good service and staff add your wechat if you have problems they can speak English 7. Free photo shoot up to 5 pics for every hotel guest. 30 rmb extra for additional photos if wanted. Book 1 day in advance. 8. Lots of activities for kids like climbing frame, pottery making, a small zoo etc 9. Very close to a shopping plaza (across the street). They have traditional Hainan restaurants and even Hagen Das ice cream. Cons: 1. If you don’t have small children you many feel very overwhelmed by the crowds of kids. I’ve stayed at several 5 star hotels but this one feels the most noisy and bustling. Not as peaceful and serene like others. It’s just very crowded and the breakfast buffet gets crowded if you go too late. I highly suggest you don’t choose this hotel if you don’t have children ages 0-10. It’s really catered to that age group. It’s a paradise for kids! 2. Breakfast buffet doesn’t have a lot of western food choices. There are some. Managed to see waffles at some point but compared to other hotels the western food section is less. 3. The layout of the hotel is a bit confusing and hard to navigate but after a day or two it starts to make sense. It’s just like it’s own little busy town. 4. All of the hot tubs were empty and not functioning. Might be a seasonal thing but we like hot tubs even in July. 5. The map of the hotel and activity schedule for kids is only in Chinese. Would me nice if they had a bilingual version to help out foreign guests. Overall, I would recommend you choose this hotel if you’re focused on the pool entertainment for younger kids and safety for kids not quite able to swim as there’s a lot of fun shallow pools and play areas.

Nice resort, secluded and remote but very nice beach access and amenities. If you have children, they will love it! It is a bit noisy most of the time. The pool area is very extensive. Be sure to explore outside the resort grounds early in your stay to discover what is nearby.

Perfect for families with younger children, multiple outdoor pools and activity areas. A small petting zoo and play areas outdoors and indoors. Beach access is extremely easy with outside showers readily available. The breakfast buffet is decent, just go a little bit earlier or later to avoid the rush.

It’s a best place for a family resort :) they have everything what you need for vacation :) recommend it :)
