The latest Sanya family travel guide

Sanya is a seaside city with a very charming tropical climate. It is also one of the most well-known tourist cities in my country. It attracts tourists from all over the world every year, especially tourists from the north. The feeling of bathing in the sun, here is a detailed guide to share with you.

For travel, I usually book hotels and air tickets well in advance, but something unexpected happened this time. As always, I booked hotels and air tickets in May, and I felt that I had made the choice. The lowest price, but in early June, I unexpectedly discovered that the two hotels I chose had collectively lowered their room rates. So after communicating with Ctrip, they agreed to adopt it, and after making another reservation for the same time and room, they canceled it. The previous order, so this repeated process has saved me thousands of dollars in housing budget.

After comparing the air tickets many times, I have chosen the lowest price at a better time. Considering that if you choose a flight that takes off after 5 o'clock in the evening, it will be cheaper than a flight that takes off in the morning. For about 1,000 yuan per person, if you do the math, you can actually stay one more night. So the original 7-day itinerary was extended to 8 days.

This trip to Hainan is my third trip to Sanya. The first time was with an activity organized by the company. The second time was when I was 2 and a half years old. It was the first time I took her on a trip. I went, and this time was different from the previous two times. I went with the purpose of taking the elderly and children on vacation. I chose five-star hotels because it was the off-season in summer, and I got a room in early June. The lowest price is offset from the small peak price for summer orders, so it is relatively affordable. Facts have proved that during our trip, we unknowingly saved a lot of expenses that we had budgeted to pay. We saved a full 10,000 yuan more than the budget, which is considered to be the highest in history. The trip to Hainan was a journey. A trip that unexpectedly saves money.

Air tickets

China Southern Airlines CZ383617:05-20:15 Shanghai-Sanya

Juneyao Airlines HO113016:40-19:45 Sanya-Shanghai

The price for an adult round trip to 3665 is not cheap, but it can be regarded as a preferential price found during a better time period. The money saved made me decide to leave a day earlier and stay one more night in Sanya. However, we were unlucky. On the day of departure, we were already on the plane, but we encountered a mechanical failure and were stranded at the airport until the evening. At 11 o'clock, we all got our luggage back and were about to go to a hotel near the airport to rest, but we were notified that we could change the plane to take off. Then we went through the security check to check in the luggage again. After a lot of trouble, we finally took off again at around 12 o'clock in the morning. , it was already 3:30 in the middle of the night when we arrived in Sanya. I was extremely lucky that the hotel I booked was only 15 minutes’ drive from the airport. After a lot of trouble, I finally settled in. Because of this trouble, China Southern Airlines paid us 200 yuan each. Yuan delay fee, so I finally realized that it is necessary to buy delay insurance. The 1,400 yuan paid to the seven of us became the first money we saved during our trip.

During the more than 7 hours of delay, Yabao remained relatively calm and passed the time by drawing with his drawing book.

Hotel Accommodation

In addition to the Atlantis Hotel, which is the hotel we must stay at during this trip, in order to control the budget, I also chose the Pullman Sanya Bay Seaview Resort. Hotel, it turns out that this choice is quite correct. I spent time and paid attention to the hotel reviews one by one.

The Pullman Sanya Bay Seaview Hotel has quite a few advantages

1. It is really very close to the airport. After we encountered serious delays, the distance was so close This said, it still helped us save a lot of energy.

2.

The price of this hotel is really very cost-effective. We booked 3 panoramic rooms. The price of each room is 840 yuan per night, including breakfast. . The view from the room is quite good, definitely a sea view room. The breakfast is not as rich as I imagined, but it has more varieties and the price is right there.

3.

The hotel has many swimming pools, from the children's pool with the beach to Go to the swimming pool close to the room where you can have a large shade of trees in the morning, then go to the massage pool and the adult deep-water swimming pool. The layers are stacked high and low. They are very thoughtful and the water is relatively clean. Regarding the swimming pool rental of inflatable unicorns, flamingos and other photo-taking toys, the prices are relatively reasonable.

4. There are many children's projects. Although there is a charge, the price is still reasonable. You can feed the fish with a bottle by the pool in the morning and evening for 20 yuan per time. We missed it except on the first day. After that, you must check in every day. There is also a children's amusement park and a trampoline park indoors. The price of entry for a day is 60 yuan, while a single visit is 30 yuan. In fact, you only need to buy this project for 30 yuan. After spending more than an hour, Yawan never asked to play again. There are also several game machines nearby, and you can buy game coins to play. They are slightly more expensive than the game machine rooms outside, but it is fun to play for a while. One afternoon, there was an activity to teach children to climb coconut trees. Because of the hot weather, Ya was very resistant to tree climbing, so she did not participate. There are also some parent-child handicraft activities, which should be charged, but we obviously put more experience into swimming and did not pay too much attention.

5. It is very convenient to order takeout from this hotel. Even many shops in the First Market can deliver takeout all the way here. It is really good quality and low price.

6. The beach is not very far from the hotel. There is an underground passage to walk there. However, one of the elevators at both ends is broken and cannot be used. You have to climb the stairs by yourself. Because the beach is public, there are many vendors selling fruits, and the prices are really not expensive. However, the water quality of this beach cannot be compared with Haitang Bay. Of course, the waves here are smaller, so what are the waves? It's still possible.

7.

It’s not too far to take a taxi from here to the Sanya Eternal Love Performance Scenic Area, and the cost is just over 30 yuan. There is a bus station next to the road along the coast. You can take the bus to many scenic spots and to the city center. There were so many of us that we didn’t choose public transport.

To sum up, the Pullman Haiju Hotel in Sanya Bay is really cost-effective and worth staying at again in the future. We are here

Atlantis Hotel

Atlantis is the main goal of our trip, but its room price is not very cheap, so we are only here Stayed for 3 nights. The average price is 2,209 yuan per night. The price from Friday to Sunday is much more expensive than usual. We caught up with a weekend, so it will inevitably be more expensive. However, this price is already the lowest price found in early June. , with the brand name of a 7-star hotel, the price will inevitably be more expensive.

The breakfast in Atlantis is really very good. The breakfasts in the Chinese restaurant and the Western restaurant are both great, but we prefer the Chinese restaurant. The variety is very complete. After breakfast, lunch is basically not needed.

The water park is a place more suitable for children and adults. It is not suitable for the elderly. After the elderly at home went there once, they never went there again. Rafting is really very hot. You must wear long sleeves and long pants when going in the summer. My husband was wearing swimming trunks that reached his knees, and then he got sunburned. It took him a month to basically shed his skin after returning home.

The Lost World Aquarium itself is not very big, and there are not many kinds of fish, but the performances inside are very exciting. I watched the mermaid and feeding performances, which were very exciting, but the inside of the aquarium is not very good. When it comes to taking photos, except for the professional photographers in the museum who can take better photos, the ones I take are basically all of people with black faces. But photos are so expensive, 88 yuan each. I picked the best one and bought it as a souvenir.

It was not the peak tourist season when we went there, so only one of the hotel’s swimming pools was open. The one farthest from the room, the others were closed. The one with the glass wall could be opened. It is also closed at 6 pm at night, which is actually a bit inconvenient, and these swimming pools are 0-obstructed. It would be better if there is some shade.

The hotel’s private beach is really nice. I bought a shovel there and played in the sand with my baby. It was a lot of fun. But the waves in the sea are really big, the kind of waves that can knock people over. However, the water is very clear, and the scenery taken in the evening is very beautiful. Although I didn't see any crabs or small animals on the beach, I was very satisfied just stepping on the beach and digging in the sand.

If there is any shortcoming of Atlantis, it is that the restaurants are really not affordable. The restaurants in the hotel basically cost 300 yuan per person per meal, and the dishes are not that good. It's so good that we go with 1,300 people per person. The key is that we don't let people order takeout. When the service staff sees people entering the hotel with takeout, they will stop you and ask you not to eat in the hotel. We ordered takeout twice and didn't order once. People find that even a forced break-in is not very pleasant. If you hope that guests will not order takeout, at least arrange some cost-effective food in the hotel. As for the food street 1 km away from the hotel, once you get to the restaurant, you can't wait in line for more than 2 hours to get your number. Dining in Haitang Bay is a bit inconvenient.

Itinerary

Although we have been there for so many days, we are basically staying in hotels. The weather in summer is too hot and we really can’t stand a training trip, so we mainly focus on leisure. will be better.

The first day in Shanghai----Sanya, check into the Pullman Sanya Bay Seaview Hotel

The second day in the hotel to familiarize yourself with the environment, swimming pool and beach

On the third day, we swam and played in the hotel during the day. In the evening, we took a taxi to Sanya Qiangu Scenic Area to watch a show.

On the fourth day, we booked a photo service at the hotel. Seven people took the photo in less than 2 hours, more than 80 photos. The price of 500 yuan is not bad.

On the fifth day, we chartered a car for a one-day tour, departing from Pullman to visit Betel Valley, and stayed at the Atlantis Hotel in the evening. In the evening, we visited the Lost World Aquarium------ visited the hotel

The sixth day of Water World---hotel swimming pool

The seventh day of Water World---hotel swimming pool--- -Beach

On the eighth day, watch a show at the Lost World Aquarium----Take the hotel airport bus to the airport in the afternoon---return to Shanghai

Meals

Here During this trip, I didn’t put much thought into meals. I relied on the hotel for breakfast, takeout for dinner, and basically skipped lunch.

It is more convenient to order takeout in Sanya Bay and there are more varieties. Atlantis Hotel may encounter takeout interception.

And the takeaway is really cheap! Cheap! Cheap! At an average price of 50 per person, there will still be leftovers if you eat enough.

Of course, eating takeout every day will also make you feel tired, as there is not much choice in Hainanese dishes.

Performance Inventory

Eternal Love in Sanya

I had great expectations for this performance, but unfortunately the whole performance was a bit anticlimactic, and we were not in a good location. In the first row, the stage was raised, so we could only watch It's half the actor's body. I really don't know why tickets for such a seat are sold. Elderly people at home can purchase discounted tickets, which are purchased directly on site. The seats are in row 9. This is the best viewing area. Only by buying on site can you get a good seat.

The air-conditioning in Qianguqing's venue was obviously insufficient. The sun had already set for the 8pm show, and the venue was still extremely hot. I don't know how the guests at other shows survived.

There are several scenes in the show that are grand and impressive, but the last scene in Sanya, where a few foreigners dressed as mermaids rolled around on the plastic sheet above their heads, was really... Not to mention beautiful, it would be more shocking to have some 3D projection effects in the venue. The actors' curtain call was also very careless, and it felt like everything was done hastily.

One hour before the evening performance, there will be a small-scale street performance in the scenic area, and there will also be a bubble show in the square. The atmosphere is very exciting, but the music is very loud. There are no special attractions in the entire scenic area, and the small zoo inside is not well planned. The mosquitoes are very strong and the smell is strong. It is more than enough to go there an hour before the show starts. It is also best not to have meals in the park. No What's so delicious? KFC's popularity is unprecedentedly high.

There is no need to hail a Didi taxi when leaving the venue. Taxis are very easy to hail at the entrance of the scenic spot, but Didi taxis are slower to arrive.

"Betel Nut Ancient Rhythm" Song and Dance Performance

This performance is held in the Betel Nut Valley. You have to buy a separate ticket, which I personally don't think is worth it. Of course, the entire Betel Valley cannot be regarded as an outstanding scenic spot. It can only be said that because the scenic spot is relatively large, there are relatively few people, and the tourist environment is okay. The whole performance lasted about an hour. The venue was open and there was no air conditioning, only fans, and not every row could reach them. The show mainly showed the daily life of ethnic minorities. The pace was so slow that I almost fell asleep in the middle. The overall arrangement is still a bit poor.

"C Show"

This show is located in the Atlantis Hotel scenic area, and hotel guests can get some discounts on tickets. Scan the QR code to book tickets directly at the hotel. It seems that only WeChat payment is supported.

This performance is better than the two I watched before. Of course, the storyline is a bit flawed. The actors perform in the sea, dive from high platforms from time to time, and various acrobatic performances are also very difficult. . The whole show included a sea lion show in the middle and a dolphin show at the end. The rest of the show was performed by people acting as animals. It was really not easy for the person who played the dolphin. The headgear looked really heavy and he had to swim in the sea for a show. Overall, maybe because I have seen too many better shows, I can only say that this show is pretty good in Sanya, but it cannot be said to be top-notch.

The whole show lasted about an hour. We went to exchange tickets relatively early on the day of the viewing, so the seats were pretty good. The entire venue was not full.

Fish feeding show and mermaid show

These two performances are at the Lost World Aquarium. There is a fish feeding show in the morning and a fish feeding show in the afternoon. They are very exciting. During the show, there will also be professional The photographer provided a photo service, but the photo was printed for 88 yuan without a negative, so the price was also very high. However, it is basically impossible to take pictures of faces in the aquarium without professional equipment, so I chose one as a souvenir.

The mermaid performance is also quite exciting. It is not easy for a man and a woman to perform underwater at such a deep depth. The scene is beautiful, and the guy who plays the prince can spit out water circles like a white whale.

We were not able to see the white whale show in the afternoon, which was a pity. I guess it was quite exciting.

Notes:

1) It is better to buy delay insurance when buying air tickets. After this delay experience, I feel that having insurance protection can reduce the depression in my heart. feel.

2)

If you book a hotel through Ctrip and are unable to check in that night due to flight delays, you can apply for a refund. Please inform Ctrip when you call Ctrip. Even if the hotel is unwilling to refund, the fee It will be borne by Ctrip. However, we checked in early the next morning, so there was no issue of fee negotiation.

3) If it’s a family trip, you still need to find a photographer to help take family photos in Sanya. Overall, the quality is pretty good. At least the elderly people on both sides were very satisfied with the set of photos we took.

4)

Be sure to bring a long-sleeved and long-pants swimsuit when going to Sanya in the summer. No matter how much sunscreen you apply, it cannot be as thorough as physical sun protection. My baby and I didn't get sunburned at all. The other gay men didn't wear long swimming trunks, and half of their exposed calves were sunburned. It was red and still shedding its skin.

5)

When you go to Water World and Atlantis swimming pool, it is almost completely covered. You must wear a hat, preferably one with a strap, which is easier to fix. Otherwise, at the end of the day, your face will be an unknown number of shades darker. It would be even worse if you get sunburned.

6) The waves in Sanya Bay and Haitang Bay are both very large. You can only walk on the beach and dig in the sand, but you cannot swim in the sea.

7) If you go to Sanya in summer, try to visit as few scenic spots as possible, and stay in a hotel for the best experience.

8) The minibar in Atlantis is free.
