When traveling, I usually book hotels and air tickets more in advance, but this time there was an accident. As usual, I booked a hotel and air ticket in May, feeling that I chose the lowest price. However, I happened to find that the two hotels I chose collectively lowered their prices in early June, so after communicating with Ctrip, I agreed to adopt it, and after booking the order for the same time and room, I cancelled the previous order, and so on.
After comparing air tickets many times, I chose the lowest price in a better time period. Considering that if I choose the flight leaving after 5 pm, it can be cheaper than the flight leaving in the morning 1000 yuan or so. After calculation, I can actually stay one more night. So the original 7-day trip increased to 8 days.
This trip to Hainan is my third trip to Sanya. The first time I went with the activities organized by the company. The second time was the first time I took her out when I was two and a half years old. This time, unlike the previous two times, I went to take the elderly and children on vacation. I chose all five-star hotels, because summer is the off-season, and I got the lowest price in early June, which staggered the small peak price of summer orders. Facts have proved that we unconsciously saved a lot of expenses in the budget during the trip, saving as much as 6,543,800 yuan over the budget, which is the highest in history. The trip to Hainan was an unexpected trip to save money.

The price of adult round trip 3665 is not cheap, but it is also a preferential price in a better time period. The money saved made me decide to leave a day earlier and stay in Sanya for an extra night. However, we are unfortunate. On the day of departure, we all got on the plane, but there was a mechanical failure. We stayed at the airport until the evening 1 1, and we all got our luggage back, ready to go to a hotel near the airport to rest, but we were told that we could take off on another plane, and then we checked our luggage and made a fuss. Finally took off again at 12 in the morning. When we arrived in Sanya, it was already half past three in the middle of the night. I am glad that my hotel is only 15 minutes' drive from the airport. After some tossing, I finally settled down. Because of this ordeal, China Southern gave each of us a delay fee of 200 yuan, and I finally understood that it is necessary to buy delay insurance. And the 1400 yuan paid to seven of us became the first money we saved during our trip.
After more than seven hours of delay, Yabao was relatively calm and took a picture book to pass the time.
Hotel accommodation
In addition to Atlantis Hotel, which is a must-stay hotel for our trip, in order to control the budget, I also chose Pullman Sanya Bay Resort Hotel, which proved quite correct. I didn't waste my time paying attention to hotel reviews.
Pullman Sanya Bay Hotel has many advantages.
1. It's really close to the airport. After we were seriously delayed, that close sentence helped us save a lot of energy.
2、
The price of this hotel is really good. We reserved three panoramic rooms, each with 840 yuan every night, including breakfast. The room has a good view, and the sea view room is right. Breakfast is not as rich as I thought, but there are many varieties and the price is there.
3、
There are many swimming pools in the hotel, from children's swimming pools with beaches, to swimming pools near rooms with big trees in the morning, to massage pools and adult deep-water swimming pools. They are all layered, and the water is relatively clean. About renting inflatable unicorns, flamingos and other toys for taking pictures in the swimming pool, the price is reasonable.
There are many children's sports. Although it is charged, the price is reasonable. In the morning and evening, we can feed the fish with bottles by the pool. 20 yuan once, we missed the first day, and then punched in every day. There are also children's amusement parks and trampoline parks indoors. If it is a one-day tour, you can enter 60 yuan, if it is a one-way trip, 30 yuan. In fact, 30 yuan is enough for this project, and I didn't ask to play again when it exceeded 1 hour. There are also several game machines nearby, where you can buy game coins to play, which is a little more expensive than the game hall outside, but it is quite interesting to play. One afternoon, I met an activity to teach children to climb coconut trees. Because of the hot weather, Julia didn't want to climb trees, so she didn't take part. There are also some parent-child manual activities, which should be charged, but we obviously put more experiences on swimming and paid little attention to them.
It is very convenient to order takeout from this hotel, and even many stores in the first market can deliver it all the way here. It's really good and cheap.
The beach is not far from the hotel. There is an underground passage to go through, but one end of the elevator at both ends is broken and can't go. You have to climb the stairs by yourself. Because the beach is public, there are many fruit stalls, and the price is really not expensive, but the water quality of this beach can't be compared with Haitang Bay. Of course, the waves here are relatively small, and it is still ok to step on the waves or something.
7、
It's not far from here to take a taxi to Sanya's ancient love performance scenic spot, and the cost is in the early days of 30 yuan. There is a bus stop beside the highway along the coast. You can go to many scenic spots and downtown by bus. There are so many of us that we have no choice of public transportation.
To sum up, Pullman Seaview Sanya Bay is really cost-effective and worth staying again in the future. Here we are.
Hotel Atlantis
Atlantis is the main goal of our trip, but its house price is really not very cheap, so we only stayed here for 3 nights. The average night is 2209 yuan, and the price on Friday and Sunday is much more expensive than usual. It will inevitably be more expensive to catch up with the weekend, but this price is already the lowest price found in early June, and it will inevitably be more expensive under the brand of a 7-star hotel.
Breakfast in Atlantis is really good. Breakfast in Chinese restaurant and western restaurant is excellent, but we prefer Chinese restaurant. The variety is very complete. After breakfast, lunch is basically unnecessary.
Water park is a more suitable place for children and adults, but not for the elderly. After going there once, the old people at home have never been there again. Drifting is really, really sunburned. In summer, long-sleeved trousers must be worn underground. My husband wore knee-length swimming trunks, and then he got sunburned. After returning to China, it took 1 month to basically shed its skin.
The lost world aquarium itself is not very big, and there are not many kinds of fish, but the performances inside are wonderful. I watched the mermaid and the feeding performance, which was wonderful, but it was not easy to take pictures in the aquarium. Except that professional photographers can take better photos, all their photos are basically black faces. But the photo is so expensive, a 88 yuan, I chose the best one and bought it as a souvenir.
When we went, it was not the tourist season, so the hotel only opened a swimming pool. The swimming pool farthest from the room is closed. The glass-walled swimming pool can be opened until 6 pm and closed at night, which is actually a bit inconvenient. Moreover, these swimming pools are completely blocked. It would be better if there were shade.
The hotel's private beach is really nice. I bought a shovel there and played on the beach with my baby. I am very happy. But the waves in the sea are really big, and one big wave will knock people over. However, the sea is clear and the scenery at night is beautiful. Although I didn't see any crabs or small animals on the beach, it was enough to just step on the beach and dig sand.
If there is anything wrong with Atlantis, it is that the restaurant in the hotel is really not affordable. The restaurants in the hotel are basically the level of per capita meals in 300 yuan, and the food is not so good. If you want to eat well, you have to go to per capita 1300. The point is that people are not allowed to order takeout. The service staff will stop you from eating in the hotel when they see someone bringing takeout into the hotel. We ordered takeout twice, once nobody noticed and once. If you want guests not to order takeout, at least configure some cost-effective food in the hotel. The food street 1 km away from the hotel arrived at the hotel, and I couldn't wait to get the number in the last two hours. It's still a little inconvenient to eat in Haitang Bay.
scheduling
Although I have been there for so many days, I am basically in a state of soaking in hotels. It's too hot in summer, and I really can't stand the zipper trip. It is better to give priority to leisure.
On the first day, Shanghai-Sanya stayed at Pullman Sanya Bay.
The next day, the hotel was familiar with the environment, swimming pool and beach.
On the third day, I swam and played in the hotel during the day, and took a taxi to Sanya Qianguqing Scenic Area to watch the performance at night.
On the fourth day, I booked a photo service at the hotel. It took seven people less than two hours. 500 yuan for more than 80 tickets is not bad.
On the fifth day, charter a car 1 one-day tour, visit Penang Valley from Pullman, and stay at Atlantis Hotel at night. In the evening, I visited the lost world aquarium-visited the hotel.
Day 6-Hotel Swimming Pool
Day 7 Water World-Hotel Swimming Pool-Beach
On the eighth day, I lost the World Aquarium to watch the performance-I took the hotel airport bus to the airport in the afternoon-and went back to Shanghai.
Food and drink
On this trip, catering basically didn't take much thought. Breakfast depends on the hotel, dinner depends on takeout, and lunch is basically saved.
Take-out in Sanya Bay is more convenient and there are more varieties. Atlantis Hotel may be stopped by takeout.
And takeout is really cheap! Cheap! Cheap! The per capita level of 50 is full, and there will be some left. Of course, it will be boring to take out food every day, and there is not much room for Hainan food.

Performance list
Romantic Show in Sanya
I had great expectations for this performance, but unfortunately the whole performance was a bit anticlimactic and our position was not good. In the first row, when the stage rises, only half of the actor's body can be seen. I really don't know why I sell tickets for this seat. Old people at home can buy discount tickets, all of which are purchased directly on the spot. The seat is in the ninth row, which is the best viewing area. Only when you buy it on the spot can you get a good position.
The air conditioning in the venue of Gu Lian was obviously insufficient. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the sun has set and the venue is still too hot. I don't know how the guests of other events survived.
Several scenes in the performance were grand and impressive, but in the last scene in Sanya, several foreigners dressed as mermaids rolled on plastic sheets overhead. This is really not good-looking. It is better to make some 3D projections in the venue to shock it. The actor's curtain call is also very sloppy.
1 Before the evening performance, there will be a small-scale parade in the scenic spot and a bubble show in the square. The atmosphere is high, but the music is noisy. There are no special attractions in the whole scenic spot, and the small zoo inside is not well planned. Mosquitoes are very powerful and have a strong taste. It is more than enough to go 1 hour before the performance. It is best not to eat in the park. There is nothing particularly delicious, and KFC's popularity is unprecedented.
You don't need to call a taxi when you leave. Taxis are easy to call at the gate of the scenic spot, but Didi taxis come slowly.
"Betel nut ancient rhyme" song and dance performance
The performance is held in Penang Valley, so it is not cost-effective to buy tickets separately. Of course, the whole Penang Valley is not an excellent scenic spot. It can only be said that because the scenic spot is relatively large and there are fewer people, the sightseeing environment is OK. The whole performance lasted about 1 hour. The venue is open, there is no air conditioning, only electric fans, not every row can blow. The program mainly shows the daily life of ethnic minorities, and the pace is so slow that I almost fell asleep in the middle. The overall arrangement is still a little poor.

The venue of the performance is Atlantis Hotel Scenic Area, and hotel guests can get some ticket discounts. Booking tickets directly by scanning the code at the hotel seems to only support WeChat payment.
This performance is better than the previous two. Of course, the story is a bit hard. The actors perform in the sea and dive in the high platform from time to time. All kinds of acrobatic performances are not easy. Throughout the performance, there was a sea lion performance in the middle and a dolphin performance at the end. All other procedures are done by people disguised as animals. It's really not easy to play dolphin. The headgear looks really heavy, and he has to swim in the sea for show. On the whole, it may be because there are so many good shows. For this program, I can only say that it is ok in Sanya, but it is not very top-notch.
The whole performance lasted about 1 hour. We changed tickets early on the day of the movie, and the seats were not bad. The whole venue was not full.
Fish feeding show and mermaid show
These two performances were held at the lost world aquarium. There is a fish feeding performance in the morning and one in the afternoon, which is very exciting. During the performance, professional photographers will provide photo service, but the photos are developed in 88 yuan, and there is no negative film, and the price is very high. However, there is no professional equipment in the aquarium, and it is basically impossible to take photos of the face. I chose one as a souvenir.
The mermaid performance is also quite wonderful. It is not easy for a man and a woman to dive into such a deep underwater performance. The scene is beautiful, and the prince will spit water circles like Moby Dick.
We didn't watch Moby Dick's performance this afternoon. Unfortunately, I guess it should be more exciting.
Precautions:
1) Buy a delay insurance when buying a plane ticket. With this delayed experience, I feel that having an insurance policy can reduce my depression.
2)
If you book a hotel through Ctrip, you can apply for a refund if you can't check in that night because of the plane delay. Call Ctrip and tell me that even if the hotel doesn't want a refund, the cost will be borne by Ctrip. However, we checked in early the next morning, so there is no question of fee negotiation.
3) If it is a family trip, you still need a photographer to help you take a family photo of Sanya. The overall level is not bad. At least the old people on both sides were satisfied with the photos we took.
4)
When you go to Sanya in summer, you must bring a swimsuit with long-sleeved trousers. No amount of sunscreen can keep up with physical sunscreen. My baby and I didn't get sunburned at all. Other gay men didn't wear long swimming trunks, and half of their exposed calves were sunburned. Red, red and molting.
5)
The water world and Atlantis swimming pool are almost covered by O, so you must wear a hat, preferably one with a belt, which is better fixed, otherwise you will lose face at the end of the day. If you get sunburned, it will be more than the loss.
6) The waves in Sanya Bay and Haitang Bay are very strong, so you can only walk by the sea and dig sand, but you can't swim in the sea.
7) If you go to Sanya in summer, try to visit fewer scenic spots, and it is best to experience the hotel.
8) The mini-bar in Atlantis is free.
