Raffles Hainan

This is my second time here. Great breakfast buffet! So many options, my family enjoyed a lot. Hotel is a bit old… I need to push super hard to close my room door. I booked a private pool room but the pool doesn’t look clean… Overall the experience was good because of the breakfast but prob wont come back again unless they renovate or have new activities going around.

Beautiful property, use of water- pools, fountains, overflows- particularly well presented and contributes to an atmosphere of calm. Numerous small sculptures representing all the birds on the island are a particular delight, too. Lagoon pool is gorgeous- shaded, winding and calm in areas even when children and families are playing in other areas. The spa is particularly tranquil and the services are designed to promote calm and wellness. What makes this hotel different from the other 5 star properties on the island, however, is the staff. Their willingness to please and their determination to provide excellent service is without doubt the best I have seen in China. Raymond, BeiBei, Walt, Jane, Chef Eric ... so many names that could be mentioned, including the new GM, Gerry, who is determined to make this property truly outstanding. We have stayed in countless properties throughout China, including Hainan Island- this is the best so far. Not everything is perfect yet- but the potential and determination are there. It is one of the few hotels in China to which we will return. This hotel understand what 5 stars should mean.

We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday at Raffles. A very stylish and luxurious break and felt like we were the only ones the the entire time. Great food and amazing service from all the staff. There are staff absolutely everywhere just waiting to help and assist you in any way you need them to. The beach and pools are ideal to relax in or swim in. The rooms are all huge and make you feel very much at home with all the creature comforts you could hope for. A truly relaxing holiday location that would also be an ideal honeymoon location given the relax and service. We will definitely go again. Worth going all that way for.
