Sanya

We went to Sanya for my brother’s wedding (which was amazingly lovely by the way!) and stayed for the weekend. The wedding was held at the Ritz-Carlton which is located in the southernmost tip of Hainan Island. Since we were only there for two days we just stayed at the hotel the whole time – which was not hard to do since it was so beautiful and relaxing!

I forgot to take a picture of our room but it was very nice and spacious. The Ritz provided all amenities needed (including crib and high chair if needed) along with two water bottles daily. The was plenty of room to place the crib with added room for our toddler to run around in.

One of the many different pools that surround the hotel. There is also a nice beach where you can rent a Segway, go snorkeling or just relax and swim.

Along the pools were hammocks to relax in. These were amazingly comfortable and I could have sat in one and read a book for hours.

The Kid's Club was very nice. There were hourly activities scheduled (which are extra, but access to the Kid's Club is free) or you could just hang out and play in the air conditioned club. Plenty of toys, stuffed animals, books and games are provided.

The pool at the Kid's Club. It had a water slide which was a major highlight for Ethan. There is also a nice playground right next to the pool.

Monkeying around at the kid's club. Ethan did his scored first slam dunk. =P



I actually wasn't aware of this at the time we went on the trip (should have researched the hotel website!) but the hotel has a program called 'Uncle Martin's Secret Garden where kids can learn about fruits and vegetables and even pet baby chicks, rabbits and guinea pigs. That sounds so awesome and I really wish we had a chance to do it.

What else can I say? Oh, the food. The breakfast buffet is amazing! There really was a fantastic spread ranging from Chinese to Western food. We didn't get a chance to try other restaurants since we ate catered food with the wedding party (which I'm sure was provided by one of the hotel restaurants) but all the food was really good. All in all we had a great time and I highly recommend this resort if you are visiting Sanya.
