Today also marks the beginning of the Ctrip Spring Promotion, with the industry leader kicking off the promotions, clearly aiming to prompt others to join in.
We’ve also been receiving promotional goods lists from various companies, and this year’s spring promotions promise to be quite substantial.
You can go ahead and grab a red envelope, but it can’t be used at Atlantis. Other spring promotional items can be used, with more information available on the 21st.
Think of this red envelope as a little sprinkle, while the real powerful red envelope will go live on the 21st. However, today the red envelope cannot be used at Atlantis, so it’s still worthwhile to collect it. Long press the code to receive the red envelope.
Today features just one hotel, Sanya Atlantis.
“Spring waters warm the duck first,” as Sanya hotels have historically begun promotions at Atlantis first, which sets the promotional tone for other hotels in Sanya.
Currently, visiting Sanya is also appropriate. Here are some flights I’ve searched from Shanghai (left in the image below) and Hangzhou (right in the image below) to Sanya; typical prices are 200 to 300.
During the Spring Festival, flights were over ten thousand, and immediately after the festival, prices dropped dramatically. So right now, the cost-performance ratio for visiting Sanya remains high.
I’ll first post the products. This time, Atlantis has a new product launch!
Sanya Atlantis Ocean View Room for 2 nights including breakfast + endless access for 2 adults and 2 kids to the Water World and Aquarium + Atlantis Night event + beluga whale educational interactive show + airport bus, priced at 3288 yuan.
Valid until April 30, 2024, no price increase on weekends, and no price increase during Qingming.
All rooms at Atlantis have ocean views and can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children, with the smallest room size being 45 square meters.
Atlantis provides breakfast and tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids, with the “kids” referring to those under 12, which is very generous.
The benefits of staying at Atlantis include 2 adults and 2 kids receiving tickets for Water World and the Aquarium. Guests during their stay can enter and exit Water World and the Aquarium an unlimited number of times using facial recognition.
For example, I’m showing that water world tickets on Ctrip cost 268 yuan/ adult, and aquarium tickets cost 228 yuan/ adult, and this is for single entry only.
According to the Ctrip calendar, the market price on March 8 (Friday) is 2288 yuan per night. This 3688 for two nights is still considerably cheaper.
But actually, I would recommend this one even more:
Sanya Atlantis Ocean View Room for 2 nights with breakfast + unlimited access for 2 adults and 2 kids to Water World and Aquarium + a couple’s meal (one of four choices) + Atlantis Night event + beluga whale educational interactive show + airport bus, priced at 3688 yuan.
Valid until April 30, 2024, no price increase on weekends, and no price increase during Qingming.
It’s 400 yuan more, but you get an extra couple’s meal (which is generally enough for 2 adults and 2 kids anyway).
You can choose the buffet at the Saffron restaurant, or choose from set meals at the Crab restaurant, Tikki restaurant, or Naisu restaurant.
Let me put it this way: if you choose the Saffron buffet, the per-person cost is nearly 400, and I couldn’t even find a group purchase for the buffet on public review sites.
I asked the hotel, and the market price for the Saffron dinner buffet is 498 yuan/person. For kids under 90 cm, it’s free; for those between 90-150 cm, the market price is half price.
Isn’t this package much more cost-effective?
The other restaurants aren’t cheap either; I’ve eaten at all of them.
The Crab restaurant specializes in Sri Lankan crabs, preparing them in about eight different ways: curry crab, black pepper crab, salted egg yolk crab, spicy stir-fried crab, butter crab, garlic crab…
Tikki is a Polynesian-themed bar and restaurant. As long as it doesn’t rain, Tikki features live performances at night, including DJ music, exotic dance shows, magic, and more.
The atmosphere is very lively.
Naisu is a Japanese restaurant.
No matter which one you choose, the dining expenses will far exceed 400. Besides, if you stay at Atlantis, you will inevitably dine at the hotel’s restaurants. Once you eat at Atlantis, this package really becomes a great value.

If you want a better stay, choose the Royal Ocean View Room. This is Atlantis’s executive room type and includes a refined dinner at the Royal Lounge.
Sanya Atlantis Royal Ocean View Room for 2 nights including breakfast + unlimited access for 2 adults and 2 kids to Water World and Aquarium + refined dinner at the Royal Lounge + a couple’s show + Atlantis Night event + beluga whale educational interactive show + airport bus, priced at 4088 yuan.
Valid until April 30, 2024, no price increase on weekends, and no price increase during Qingming.
The Royal Ocean View Room accommodates a maximum of 2 adults and 2 kids (under 12 years old) for the refined dinner at the Royal Lounge.
The Royal Lounge is located on the 18th floor of the hotel, where you can enjoy the magnificent views of Haitang Bay while savoring a refined dinner.
Additionally, there are drinks and snacks available for unlimited consumption.
Moreover, the Royal Lounge offers excellent views so that you can overlook Haitang Bay.
Essentially, this package covers both your breakfast and dinner daily, and with free access to Water World and the Aquarium, the cost-performance ratio of 4088 for two nights is actually very high.

Also, Atlantis is launching a new product this time!
Sanya Atlantis Ocean-themed Family Room for 2 nights including breakfast + unlimited access for 2 adults and 2 kids to Water World and Aquarium + refined dinner at the Royal Lounge + a couple’s show + Atlantis Night event + airport bus, priced at 4888 yuan.
Valid until April 30, 2024, no price increase on weekends, and no price increase during Qingming.
As you can see in the picture above, the ocean-themed family room is a super large single room, measuring 80 square meters. The room is equipped with a 2m x 2m big bed and a bunk bed (bottom 1.2m x 1.9m, top 0.9m x 1.9m).
This room type is particularly friendly for accommodating 2 adults and 2 kids. In the Ctrip calendar, for example, the market price on March 8 (Friday) is 3288 per night, and it doesn’t include the couple’s show or the Royal Lounge dinner.
If you don’t need that much activity space, you might consider the Family Ocean View Room, which has an area of 45 square meters, equipped with a 1.8m x 2m big bed and a bunk bed (bottom 1.33m x 1.9m, top 1.03m x 1.9m).
Sanya Atlantis Family Ocean View Room for 2 nights including breakfast + unlimited access for 2 adults and 2 kids to Water World and Aquarium + Atlantis Night event + beluga whale educational show + airport bus, priced at 3888 yuan.
Valid until April 30, 2024, no price increase on weekends, and no price increase during Qingming.
Next, here’s an introduction to Sanya Atlantis.
Atlantis is always undergoing changes; I personally visited last October, and the kids had a great time.
Atlantis is a gigantic resort.
It has 1314 ocean-view rooms, The Lost Chambers Aquarium (over 280 species and 86,000 marine creatures), Atlantis Water World (34 water slides), Dolphin Bay (a place to interact with dolphins and sea lions), a shopping avenue (multiple shopping experience shops), dining (20+ restaurants), as well as entertainment, performances (the show), international conferences, etc…
You would need a 3-day, 2-night stay just to barely experience everything here.
The biggest benefit of staying at Atlantis is that guests can access Water World and the aquarium an unlimited number of times during their stay. This access is worth over 1000 yuan for two adults and one child.
Non-guests can only enter once with their tickets.
This is a significant difference; you can return to your room to take a break whenever you get tired and recharge before heading back out to play. How convenient!
Moreover, this facial recognition access doesn’t immediately expire after check-out the next day. Before 3 PM, you can still enter, allowing you to play until evening before coming out.
It’s especially convenient to enter using the facial recognition machine, as shown in the picture below.
