Hilton Haikou Meilan

The location is great, right by the sea. Nevertheless, the hotel desperately needs a complete renovation: the room was worn off, smelled like cigarettes and wetness, there was some mold on the walls. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. The staff were really nice and helpful!

I stayed during the Spring Festival Holiday. The buffet dinner was the worst quality food I’ve had in China. The meat was clearly reheated from the previous day in the microwave so was exceptionally chewy and dry (completely devoid of moisture) and the rest of the hot buffet food was ice cold. The hotpot was edible. For 265 yuan per person I expected a bit better. In their defence, when I told them about the dry meat they offered me a fresh plate from their kitchen however it was lacking in taste. I shouldn’t have to ask for them to bring fresh meat at a so called 5*. After this experience we ate outside for the remainder of the stay. The cleaning team were kind and meticulous. The front of house staff were good and offered good service. The property is beachfront. Some of the pools are closed including the heated pools. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are a foodie. There are fantastic restaurants outside the hotel in Haikou.

Due to the typhoon the beach area was a little destroyed, but other than that everything was good.

good experience wonderful place all the staff are friendly

On the positive side: The hotel itself is quite great, playground and pools were appealing, several good activities for kids, restaurant and breakfast were also very good and staff very friendly (especially in restaurant) In the negative side: the location is not good, at least 8-10km from everything. No any restaurant or activities nearby, need to take a taxi for everything with at least 40min to 1h drive. One of the restaurant (noodle one) closed quite early so dinner in hotel was limited to 2 restaurants. In addition, because of weather (wind and a bit cold) beach was not suitable for us to stay and pools were closed. Good hotel for company events or short family stay (max 2 days) but not for prolonged family vacation (week)

Big room big hotel, location not good of for business
