For comparison, the typical hotel in Sanya is about $31. Prices are earlier observations, not quotes; the booking site shows the live price for your dates. **Which are the top-ranked hotels in Sanya that accept foreigners?** On Staylist World: Sanya Sujuan Infinity Swimming Pool Seaview Hotel (guest rating 9.6 from 2,533 reviews), Zhiman homestay (guest rating 9.6 from 194 reviews), Sanya ZRS Nature Reading · Fengbaijing Seaview Hotel (guest rating 9.5 from 3,021 reviews). The order weighs each score by how many guests reviewed the hotel, and no hotel can pay to rank higher. **Can foreigners stay at any hotel in Sanya?** No. Hotels in mainland China need police approval to register foreign guests, and some smaller hotels do not have it. Every hotel on this list states on its booking page that it accepts guests from all countries. Book online rather than walking in: you can be turned away at a hotel without the approval, and staff cannot make an exception. **What happens when a foreigner checks in at a hotel in Sanya?** The front desk scans your passport and registers you with the police for you; it usually takes a few minutes. Staff may speak little English, but most use a translation device. Many hotels ask for no deposit; when they do, it is usually ¥100 to ¥300 by Alipay, WeChat Pay or foreign card, refunded at checkout. **Should I book my Sanya hotel in advance?** Yes. Booking ahead guarantees a hotel that can register you and keeps your room at busy times; there is nothing to gain by waiting until you arrive. Paying online in advance also avoids card machines that front-desk staff rarely use for foreign cards. ## More in Sanya - [5-Star Hotels in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/5-star) - [4-Star Hotels in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/4-star) - [Cheap & Budget Hotels in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/budget) - [Hotels with a Pool in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/with-pool) - [Hotels with a Spa in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/with-spa) - [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/pet-friendly) - [Family-Friendly Hotels in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/family-friendly) - [Boutique Hotels in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/boutique) - [Hotels with a View in Sanya](https://staylist.world/hotels-in/sanya-cn/with-view) --- Previously observed price; confirm current price and availability.
