Wonderful place !!!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 17 Apr 2013
Absolutely loved this place. Beautiful hotel in a nice, quite area of Sanya, which is cosy, but only a short cap ride away from the city center.

To me, downtown Sanya is not the most beautiful place in world, but that doesn´t matter, because you can enjoy your time in this beautiful hotel. The hotel is in good shape and a tropical paradise. Nice open setting (you can feel a warm breeze almost everywhere), pool area (which was almost totally empty all the time) and super friendly staff. And yes, very few people speak English. But don´t forget your in China, this is nothing new. With a little smile and some gestures every problem can be solved.

Breakfast buffet was great, with a nice choice of asian and western tastes. For dinner there are some nice sea food restaurants down by the water front, but nobody speaks English. We had the concierge write some things down on paper, so we used that for ordering ;-)

We would love to come again...

We arrive during the night. Taxi driver cant find the hotel. There s no indication around and on the hotel....
Nobody speak english
Room are beautifull but need no privacy, no separation between bathrooms/toilets and the room
The joke was when we want to go to the beach... On the book lovey beach
But reality is far away, garbage, constructions.... It s impossible
We must stay 8 nights we check out afer 1 night
If you need no services and no beach it could be an option....

Room tip: Take care of construction...

my wife and I stayed here during the mid autumn festival last year, the hotel is a lovely villa type design, with great surroundings, a decent pool and a small beach is 5 minutes walk away. It is about 15 minutes by taxi from Sanya aiport and also close to the local town, which is good. In-fact based on my stay here, Sanya seems to be quite a friendly place.

Service and facilities at the hotel were good. The room had a seaview and overlooked the pool, it was a very spacious room with a good sized balcony. The breakfast menu was superb with lots of different things available.

We booked this from an agent and got a really good deal, and we will be going back there again this summer.

Room tip: booking: a group purchase via travel agency will get you the best deal and request a room with a sea view.

Could not believe what kind of tranquility and friendship they had! We had the see view and I used lot of time looking the evening sun. Breakfast is very good and Chinese restaurant earns many points. OK, if you need to drink wines at lobby bar or want to swim for hundreds of meters, it's not easy, but don't care. I recommend!

Room tip: OK with see view

i have a few reasons choosing this resort, since
my flight arrive at midnight, and will move to another resort at Luhuitou area, location was my big concern, also, i only stay for less than half day, budget was my concern as well.
having a GROUPON like deal from a chinese travel website, i spent about $500rmb a night.
also, this resort name, in chinese cities, "state guesthouse" tells it's usually state-own and usually held for some government officials, so i believed in the quality.
when i arrive, it was a very hot and humid night, a little disappoint at the lobby design, no ceiliing fan at all. then i was lead by a friendly staff to my room, surprisingly, the resort was huge, it took me like a 5 min walk, i remember my room was at tower C. On the way, the staff explained about the details of the hotel and attraction nearby. and learnt some background about Sanya, since i'm a first timer.

Here is the part i started to like this resort, get in my room , the size was way bigger than i thought. Bedding and shower facilities were keeping new still.
surrounding was quiet, i did have a wonderful sleep.
next morning, had breakfast in the restaurant near lobby ( my room rate incl ) , the choices were standard and not fancy though. Then browse everywhere in the resort, found, the pool was big and clean and the resort was not crowded at all , i guess there were only around 10 guests in this resort.

Since it's state-own background, I hope this resort could survive in this low occupcy rate.
one last thought, if you want to have a budget plan with quiet moments, there you go.

P.S. this is the first english review, but not sure english communication is whether smooth at this place or not.

Little drawback , why the air con is install in the balcony, i can't enjoy outdoor in my room at all.

Room tip: check the chinese travel website for special deal
