Qionghai Boao Xishe Guesthouse

Top choice in Hainan


The owners of this simple yet stylish guesthouse are extremely friendly, and will almost certainly invite you to take tea with them. As a bonus, they have a cute dog (who loves head rubs), and the guesthouse is five minutes' walk from the beach. Perfect.

Rooms at the back overlook the local school playing field and as such can get disturbed by music and announcements regularly blasted out over the school loudspeaker.
