Tropical rain most of the time. Fresh seafood at Tanmen just north of the resort was great. Need a car to navigate but getting one was difficult because one needs to have a China bank account for deposit to be returned after one month. Knowing Chinese would be more easier as most do not speak English. Local restaurants and bathrooms are of a different standard as in the US though much improved from years ago at tourist sites already in China.

I was there during the 2018 Boao forum for Asia. It is at about 15 minutes by bus from the Forum. Hotel is clean, staff is friendly but they hardly speak English. There is a nice swimming pool. Breakfast is more “Chinese style”, but ai found some eggs, bread and jam, and the coffee was fine. The hotel has been recently acquired by a Japanese group, Narada, which is improving the standard, but still requires some maintenance to be done. The nice beach is at 5 minutes walking distance, and at 15 minutes walk (toward North) you also find a water park. Overall, a good quality/price ratio.

This is a large luxury hotel with few guests when I was there. It has 2 large high-rise sections and the rooms are enormous. Mine had a kitchen area (without equipment), balcony and attractive walk-in shower. As another reviewer states, no expense has been spared and I guess the Government has earmarked Hainan Island as a tourist destination. Development is still continuing in the area. It is about half a mile from the beach and has a good pool. There are 2 restaurants, one supposedly Western but with no service at dinnertime when we were there. Breakfast there was reasonable. The Chinese restaurant set menu dinner was adequate but short on quantity. Luckily there is a convenience store on site where we could add snacks. Staff had a smattering of English.
I considered laundry service but the price was extortionate, probably in keeping with the accommodation price although I do not have any figures as the hotel was included in the package price of my holiday
