The Le Meridien Shimei Bay is a nice hotel, but not really a five star (or 4.5 star) property, as it is quite comfortable and good quality but a little rough around the edges. PROS: - amazing beach, which extends for miles and is great for walking or running (though there was a big pile of rubbish at a fence... More

I visited the resort on December 11th 2012 (for 2 nights) and my journey began from Singapore to Guangzhou (approx 4 hours flight), had a transit in Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport for 2 hours, a continuos 1 and a half hours domestic flight from Guangzhou to Sanya and lastly, a dreadful almost 2 hours’ drive from Sanya airport to the...

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful oceanfront resort in October for six days and we had a wonderful time. The staff couldn't have been nicer, especially Jeremy Ho, the manager who treated us like old friends and really made us feel welcome. The food in all the restaurants was delicious, and the pool is amazing - 40 meters... More

All those day we enjoyed being there,staff speak good English, enough foreigner staff, The Portugese boy in the bar was... More

As long as your only plan is to get away and rest , swim , do some exercise , go to a spa this is perfect , if looking for a lot of activities outside the resort choose another location. All restaurants had hig standard of food and service and the beachside bar and grill is a great way to... More

I visited a few hotels in the Shimei Bay / Shenzhou Peninsula area and this seems to be the best as it has been open the longest. The differentiator is that there are waves on this beach and you can body board and even surf. Lots of watersports are arranged and the hotel tries hard to use the beach to... More

This out of the way resort hotel has none of the frantic holiday air of Sanya. It is a place to just relax, walk the beach and, in general, pamper yourself. We stayed only one night on our way to Sanya and wished we could have stayed for much longer. Dinner in their excellent restaurant and drinks in the bar... More
