Een uitzonderlijke ervaring waar echte gastvrijheid centraal staat!
Ons verblijf in The Sanya EDITION was werkelijk fantastisch! Het hotel is prachtig en ondanks de enorme omvang slaagt het team erin je het gevoel te geven dat je de enige gast bent. Dat is voor ons de definitie van echte luxe en gastvrijheid.
Wat ons bijzonder heeft geïmponeerd, is de uitzonderlijke interne communicatie, die absoluut een 10 op 10 verdient! Tijdens een gesprek met Julie van Guest Services werd ons gevraagd of we graag pittig aten. Diezelfde avond bleek onze voorkeur al aan het restaurant te zijn doorgegeven, zonder dat we er zelf iets over moesten zeggen. Zulke details maken het verschil!
Ook toen onze vlucht onverwacht werd geannuleerd, werden we proactief geïnformeerd en werd onze luchthaventransfer perfect aangepast. Alles werd geregeld zonder dat wij ons ergens zorgen over moesten maken.
Een bijzonder woord van dank aan Julie van Guest Services. Haar oprechte betrokkenheid, professionaliteit en persoonlijke aandacht maakten ons verblijf nog zoveel aangenamer. Zij was werkelijk een enorme meerwaarde!
Ook wil ik General Manager Eduard Jordi bedanken omdat hij persoonlijk de tijd nam voor een aangenaam gesprek.
Zelf heb ik jarenlang in de hotelsector gewerkt en weet ik hoeveel inzet er nodig is om dit serviceniveau te bereiken. The Sanya EDITION bewijst dat echte luxe niet alleen in prachtige faciliteiten zit, maar vooral in de mensen en hun aandacht voor details.
Ik heb me zelden zo welkom gevoeld in een hotel. Een onvergetelijke ervaring en een absolute aanrader. Wij komen hier met heel veel plezier terug!

“Thank you for our amazing stay at The Sanya Edition. Together with my partner we brought my parents to Hainan to show them around and decided to stay at your lovely property. The service is next level, the food at Barbacoa so authentically Balinese, the drinks and snacks at the Beach Club original and up to par, and all facilities you would wish for are available. I saw some amazing signs of true leadership from the management as well. Shout outs to Julie as our personal butler, 魏金恒 as our beach club bartender and Jordi as a true international hospitality leader. Thank you, and we hope to be back soon again.”
Amazing stay!

“The Sanya Edition was such a beautiful hotel! From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and nice. Julie was amazing with answering my questions whenever I needed and making reservations for me. She was available at anytime. The location is nice but a bit far from the airport but once you get there, it’s heaven. Rooms were beautiful, everything is clean, and worth every penny. I love that the hotel catered to everyone like there is a family area and pool and an adult only area that was perfect for me since I was traveling solo. Thanks to Wisdom at the Beach Club and Shawon at Barbacoa. Oh and the spa area had a very relaxing sauna and stream room if you just wanted to get away from it all. I would recommend to everyonez”

“We had a fantastic stay at The Sanya EDITION in a beautiful suite. A special thank you to Julie, our Guest Relations Manager, for checking in throughout our entire stay and making sure everything was perfect.
She also kindly arranged a wonderful birthday surprise for my cousin, which made the celebration extra special. The cakes and coconut pudding were absolutely delicious!
Exceptional service, thoughtful touches, and a truly memorable stay. We’d happily return!”

“From the arrival to the mega open lobby that is looking to the ocean framed by bamboo, it was hard not to be blown away.
In our 5 night stay we didn’t leave given the abundance of options and luxurious spaces to relax and dine.
The Beach Club is for adults only and it was the perfect space to enjoy the glorious weather with attentive and genuine service from Wisdom, Hunter and the entire team!
Chef Boga at Barbacao has done a phenomenal job creating a Balinese menu which is complimented by a live band, feet in the sand, exotic dining experience. He is also a really nice guy!
A special thanks to Chef Markus, Julie and Jordi for making us so welcome!!
Highly recommended!”

“We stayed 10 nights at Sanya Edition during our honeymoon.
It was a very nice experience. The staffs were highly professional.
There are many sport possibilities, pingpong, tennis, padel, pickleball, and various water sports. The beverages and the food are overall excellent. During the stay all our needs were fulfilled to our maximum satisfaction.”

“We had an amazing stay at the Edition with our family. We love great hotels and we weren’t familiar with the brand but will definitely try other ones. The food, the smell, music and other important details that are often looked over were on point here. Genuine service with a special note to the Butler Julie and Jordi who is a manager. These people know what they are doing don’t hesitate but go!”
Exceptional Service at The Sanya EDITION – A Special Mention for Olivia

shanshanb2022 · Couples · 2026-08-04
“Our stay at The Sanya EDITION was truly memorable, elevated significantly by the world-class service provided by the Guest Relations team.
A particular highlight was the outstanding hospitality demonstrated by Olivia. While spending an afternoon by the main pool, I realized I had forgotten to bring my reading book down from my room. Olivia noticed my situation and graciously offered to fetch it from my room on my behalf so I could continue relaxing uninterrupted.
Her genuine kindness, proactive approach, and high level of professionalism throughout our stay left a lasting impression. Olivia’s attentive care is a stellar reflection of the standards at The Sanya EDITION. I highly recommend this property and extend my sincere thanks to Olivia for making our visit so seamless and special.”

“I visit the Edition every year; it feels like coming home. The hotel changes every year, showing the dedication of the management. As a large international hotel, the employment of expatriate staff is very welcoming to international travelers (and their Chinese is excellent!).
This time, I met a beautiful and understanding Ms. Julie, whom my daughter adores.With her help, Phoebe and I had a very warm and pleasant holiday.

“We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this beautiful resort in Sanya, Hainan – truly the “Hawaii of China.”
Before arriving here, we spent time at the Rosewood, which was already an excellent experience. However, what made this stay even more special was the outstanding, truly personalized service we received from our butler, Julie.
A very special thank you to our wonderful French butler, Julie. She took care of every single detail with incredible professionalism, warmth, and genuine kindness. Nothing was ever too much to ask, and she always anticipated our needs before we even had to mention them. Her dedication made us feel incredibly welcome and transformed a great vacation into an unforgettable one. Julie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts—you are a true asset to this resort.
We also had the pleasure of playing a fun game of padel with the Manager, Jordi Villegas, his son, and my own son. It was such a relaxed and enjoyable experience that perfectly reflected the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the resort.
Although the resort is large, it never feels overwhelming. Everything is beautifully designed and has a cozy, intimate feeling. The facilities, the service, and the overall atmosphere are simply outstanding.
The location is fantastic as well. Sanya, on Hainan Island, really deserves its nickname as the “Hawaii of China.” It’s only about a one-hour flight from Hong Kong or Shenzhen, making it a perfect tropical getaway.
We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for luxury combined with genuine hospitality. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Julie, for making our stay so memorable!”
