Reviews from Real Guests:

Asia Traveller: Had an incredible time on the island. The white beaches are absolutely stunning, and the island has an abundance of water sports. The swimming beach is very small but you can rent day beds, lockers and tubes. Great variety of things to do on the island including helicopter rides, and under the sea walk. Take lots of sunscreen as it greats incredibly hot on the island. Had a great experience with a fun and vibrant performance by some expats living in Sanya! Great end to a fun-filled day on Wuzhizhou Island.

siganteng: Explore pristine coral reefs underneath emerald-green waters and enjoy fine beaches at Wuzhizhou Coral Island, a 1.48 sq km (0.6 sq mi) islet just off the main Hainan Island. With its own source of freshwater, over 2,700 plant varieties grow here, including some of the oldest species in the world. Follow the boardwalk jutting far into the sea, or tour the island in an electric golf cart. You can visit a temple honoring the goddess Matsu, or climb the 80 m (260 ft) high cliff to watch the crashing waves.

Sanya enjoys a tropical climate, hence it is warm all four seasons and is one of the cities where the sun shines nearly 300 days of the year. But being in the tropics also means that Sanya has wet and dry seasons too. Summer is the wet season, with chances of typhoons, so remember to take rainwear with you. The hottest month is June, with an average temperature of around 28 ℃ (82 °F), but on some days, it could rise to 36 ℃ (97 °F). While warm weather remains throughout the winter months, the coldest months are January and February, but the average temperature still remains around 20 ℃ (68 °F). It is worth noting that in the winter months, the sea can be pretty cold in the mornings and evenings.Because of Sanya’s mild and pleasant winter weather, the best time and peak season to visit is between September and February. While the rest of China, especially up in the north where it is below zero and often covered in snow, Sanya’s tropical climate is particularly alluring. During this time, hotels are usually packed and it is difficult to reserve rooms. This is definitely the case during the New Year and Chinese Spring Festival periods.
