Atlantis Sanya

We had a truly wonderful stay at Atlantis. The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the dishwasher Kuwar and Mason for their excellent service and dedication behind the scenes—it truly made a difference in our stay. Their hard work is deeply appreciated. Atlantis is not only stunning in design but also exceptional in hospitality. We look forward to coming back again.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Dikshya Kunwar, who made our trip absolutely perfect. Among all the butlers we’ve ever encountered, she is truly the best, without a doubt. Thanks to her, we had an unforgettable experience—one that we’ll never regret. We are especially thankful for how positively she responded to all our requests and made sure everything was taken care of. She helped us fall in love with the unfamiliar city of Sanya, making us feel completely at home. Dikshya, thank you once again for turning our anniversary into a truly memorable one. Because of you, we’ll definitely return, next time with our family. Staying at Atlantis is not just a choice—it’s a must.

We had a great stay at Atlantis Sanya and would recommend it for families or anyone looking for a relaxed resort vibe with beautiful design and solid amenities. The resort itself is massive, with plenty of pools, restaurants, and things to do. Our room was opulent and well-equipped and everything we needed was there. The bed was super comfortable, water pressure in the shower was strong, and the air conditioning worked perfectly with easy temperature control. After long days in the sun, coming back to such a relaxing space made a big difference The Aquaventure water park was definitely a highlight. It was so much fun, and surprisingly, the lines were minimal compared to places like Volcano Bay in Florida. I was able to get on every ride immediately upon climbing up the MANY flights of stairs. There was also plenty of seating when we went, though I recommend arriving early around opening time (10 am) to grab a good spot. Note that they weigh you before most rides (there’s a scale right before boarding), so be sure to check weight restrictions on the website. That said, enforcement didn’t seem too strict. The lazy river with white water rapids was a blast and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to float through. Breakfast was another standout. There are two buffet areas so make sure to go to the one on the left (Saffron). It had a better spread and much nicer ambiance. Most guests turn right by default and miss out. The aquarium was smaller than expected and pretty packed with kids, but still enjoyable. We saw beluga whales and several beautifully maintained tanks. The marine life looked healthy and the enclosures were clean. Bonus: entry is free for hotel guests. The only downside was the beach, it’s public and a bit far from the resort, so we didn’t swim. Also, despite the Tiki Bar having live music and a great setup, the vibe was quiet and family-oriented. Although it looks perfect for it, don't expect a party scene like you’d find in Florida or the Bahamas. Overall, Atlantis Sanya delivers a lot: fun activities, great food, and gorgeous surroundings—just with a more relaxed energy.

The Atlantis resort hotel certainly defied all of our expectations! The hotel entrance is grand and airy. We were checked in by our butler Dikshya who spoke English and helped us to settle into our room. It was nice that we received a complimentary room upgrade and at a higher floor since it was our first visit. The aquarium is very impressive and the kids enjoyed checking out the marine life. The aquaventure park was lots of fun for adults and kids alike. The tornado rides are highly recommended! The breakfast buffet was epic! It was extensive and high quality - on par with the best buffets in Las Vegas. On our final night (we stayed for 3 nights), our room air conditioning broke down. Dikshya came to our rescue and moved us into a suite which was simply awesome - it topped off our visit in a fantastic way! We will certainly return for another visit even though Sanya is a long way from our home in Australia.

Regret I haven’t booked Atlantis for the entire stay to be honest. It was 100 dollars more expensive than Crown Plaza, but boy it ended up being a great value for money! First, plenty of things to do for the entire family with aqua park, aquarium, kids adventures and swimming pools for adults. Second, cinema and aqua show kind of like cirque du soleil style. Third, access to imperial lounge made all the difference- was able to chill there and drinks and food are free. So ended up saving massively on food. Actually Atlantis was cheaper than Crown Plaza after all food costs added in. Fourth, personal butler service. Communicated via WeChat easily and answered all my questions instantly. Shout out to Marina doing a great job! Enough staff speaking both English and Russian. And all signs in the hotel in 3 languages - Chinese, Russian, English. Crown Plaza was not foreigners friendly at all. Eric was the only guy who spoke decent English there. Room service and other services were 100% Chinese. Good I speak basic Mandarin, otherwise would have been tough. The only disappointment was really closed pools for adults which made me purchase a cabana to be able to enjoy pool access in private and without much loud screams from kids etc. But was not such a big disappointment! I would stay here exclusively next time. Totally worth the money!

Beyond expectation: the hotel building (what a master piece!), the buffet, the room, the swimming pool and above all the aquarium! Special thanks to Elena Hu (!!) who guided us through the week in case we needed something, which was very pleasant as she speaks Spanish and English. Thx!
