The Holliyard "Resort" Hotel is a modern highrise beautifully designed hotel.
From the lobby to the bathroom,no expense has been spared on the interior design .
The bedroom was a Scandinavian style dream. marble,hardwood, stainless, steel and glass.!
The restaurant was French themed with local cuisine for us rare westerners.
The only fault was the isolation from the local restaurant/shopping area and the beach
The beautiful beach is 1 km away but lacking any accessories, functional but bare.
The local town centre was 3 kms away and the hotel taxi service was tricky.
Admittedly my lack of Chinese did not help as the hotel staff tried their utmost to assist.
This coastline is exploding with new smart 5*hotels filling the skylines.
It will take a few years for the surroundings to catch up.
With the beautifully mannered locals making all my inadequasies insignificant,this new modern Chinese island is going to become the "Sardinia" of Asia
