Mission Hills Resort Haikou — Hotel in Haikou City

Target audience is Chinese and the experience falls flat on its face because of it. The courses are separated between north and south and they wouldn’t even bring my bag from one complex to the other when playing at the other location the next day. This is just one of several examples of there being so much to change before i’d recommend this place to people who haven’t spent time in proper China - or could speak enough mandarin to confirm that they were serious about not providing a basic service like this. ||The courses themselves are lovely with designs that are unique and different. The condition varies between courses but I was surprised at how poorly some of the greens were kept considering it’s required to have a caddy. My caddy also told me they were “super busy” with 500 rounds across their 10 courses that day, which isn’t a lot. It sounds like they shut down the south courses over summer - or at least some of the courses - and I did find the condition to be better in the South complex (eg the greens on meadow and shadow dunes were in pretty good condition v Legacy course which has ball marks everywhere). The speed of greens seemed to range between 7.5-8.5 for those wondering. This was in early October with good sunny weather. ||There is only one driving range on the property and it’s connected to the North courses; however, there is no putting/short game area here - cost for the range was 80 rmb and you could hit it off the grass. There was a putting green servicing the south courses and you could always warm up at the north and take their shuttle to the south when finished, but the shuttle only runs every 20+ minutes and it’s about a 5 minute drive. Again, going back to my first comment, if this was in a Western country they’d have the process working like a well oiled machine but they make it a much bigger hassle than it needs to be that you just forget the thought of warming up. ||The caddies were all very young (

I booked three rooms and stayed at Mission Hills Resort for five nights, where we were served by the duty manager, Mary, throughout our stay.We were given a complimentary room upgrade, and Mary also helped ensure that our group was located near each other, making it much more convenient for us. I’m especially for her effort in helping us locate a farm around the resort and for reaching out proactively before the trip. She even shared her contacts and responded to some of my queries after office hours, which truly shows her dedication to her work.Although some parts of the resort are a bit dated and seemed to be undergoing maintenance, it didn’t really affect the overall experience. For the rooms It would be even better if a drawdown curtain or privacy screen could be added to the bathing area or toilet, making it more convenient for larger groups like mine.This resort is ideal for families with young kids or anyone looking for a great parent–child bonding (亲子游) experience. There’s a mini pet house with cute and lively animals where children can get up close and cozy with them.The Children’s Club — Squirrel Village offers a wide variety of daily activities for parent–child bonding. My kids especially enjoyed the activities led by the young and energetic team of hosts (可爱, 葡萄, 糖果, 西瓜, 猩猩, 鳄鱼, and others). They loved it so much that I gave up some of our original itinerary just to let them stay longer, and they’re still humming and reminiscing about the songs and moments from the club. If I travel to Haikou again, I would certainly return to Mission Hills and include a few more days at the Squirrel Club to spend quality time with my child.As mentioned in other reviews, we were also served a delicious pot of dessert every night — a thoughtful and warm gesture that added an extra special touch to our stay.Thank you, Mission Hills Resort, and especially Mary and her Squirrel team, for making our trip so memorable despite the aging facilities. The kids in our group truly had a wonderful and enjoyable time at the resort, and we’ll cherish these moments for a long time.If i am ever travelling back to Hai Kou for 亲子游, I would stay in Mission Hills purely for the Squirrel Children’s Club activities.Ps, the resort actually had some additional in-room items that could be loaned and i feel that it would be better if they could share...

I stayed at Mission Hills Resort for 5 nights and was served by the Duty Manager Mary and her front desk team for our stay.Mary is very diligent and went above and beyond — she proactively reached out to us prior to the trip to understand our needs and plan a smooth and enjoyable stay. She even responded to some of my queries after office hours, which truly shows her dedication to her work.Although the resort is slightly dated, the facilities are mostly in good condition. The room was exactly as shown in the picture clean and spacious. Nonetheless, it didn’t affect the comfort of our stay. It would be better if there were a drawdown curtain or some privacy screen for the bathing area or toilet, rather than moving the sliding door for privacy.This resort is ideal for families with young kids or anyone looking for a great 亲子游 experience.

My kids especially enjoyed the activities led by the young dedicated and energetic team of hosts (可爱, 葡萄, 糖果, 西瓜 姐姐, 猩猩, 鳄鱼哥哥, and others). They loved it so much that I gave up some of our original itinerary plans just to let them stay longer at the club, and they’re still humming and reminiscing about the songs and moments from the club.The water park and hot spring is also good for relaxation and fun play.Another special treat was that every night, we were served a delicious pot of dessert — a warm and thoughtful gesture that added a cozy, memorable touch to our stay.I would also like to thanks the chef maning the Pancake stations, Bart who make a cute pan cakes for my child during one of our breakfast session at Mission Hills.The Resorts is a 20 mins ride from the airport and slightly far from Hai Kou attractions but a didi ride would solve the issue.Thank you, Mission Hills Resort and especially Mary and the Squirrel club hosts for making our trip so special for the kids . We had a truly enjoyable experience and will cherish these memories for...
