Description of Wanning Le Méridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa, Hainan Island:
Wanning Le Méridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa, Hainan Island, commenced operations in late 2008. However, we do not recommend this hotel immediately, knowing that it takes around half a year for a new beach resort to settle in. Hence, we visited the resort on May 6th, 2009, after a short trip to Monkey Islet with a delightful Brazilian girl. The first impression at the entrance is reminiscent of another Sheraton Sanya! But upon entering the lobby, it becomes evident that it is different from Sheraton Sanya. It is open, quiet, with a gentle breeze. The beach is in close proximity to the hotel lobby, across a lovely pool adorned with beautiful umbrellas. Upon inspection of the rooms, we found them to be very spacious (at least 50 square meters) with no new hotel smell (which we appreciated). Each room features a large sofa, sufficient for an additional bed. The bathrooms are also spacious, with ample natural light. Le Méridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa is located on an isolated beach, with no local restaurants or shops within walking distance.
Rooms in Wanning Le Méridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa, Hainan Island:
Deluxe Room Double/Twin (64 square meters) with a private balcony and a sofa suitable for a child as an extra bed, offering views of tropical plants.
Who should stay in this Resort:
As it is a 90-minute drive from Sanya and the only resort on Shimei Bay managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Hainan Island Wanning Le Méridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa is recommended for anyone seeking a truly quiet, isolated beach resort away from the crowds in Sanya. It is unfortunate that they do not have suites with 2-3 bedrooms, but connecting rooms are available for families with children. It is also an excellent choice for golf players, with 4 clubs within a 20-minute drive.
What to do here:
In addition to enjoying the beach and pool, there is plenty to do during your stay at Hainan Island Wanning Le Méridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa, including water sports, spa treatments, cycling, windsurfing, and reading, or simply lounging on the beach with your favorite novel.
