4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Sanya

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Sanya is during June, September, and November, when hotel prices are generally lower.

This duration allows visitors to fully appreciate Sanya's rich heritage and stunning natural attractions, such as its picturesque countryside, tropical landscapes, and various watersports activities, making it great value for money for travellers on a budget. Additionally, prices may drop during these months, providing an excellent opportunity for an affordable getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover great hotel deals in Sanya, begin by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, increasing your chances of securing cheap hotels. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. By doing so, you’re more likely to be the first to know about available rooms or price drops, perfect for a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Sanya hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
