Close to the airport but not noisy. Room service was good, and breakfast was decent – those are the pros. As for the cons, I asked the front desk staff for a better room when checking in, and she readily agreed with a poker face, only to give me a terrible one. It had a pungent smell, so I had to go back and forth to the lobby myself to request a room change, which finally worked. This front desk staff member was the most unsatisfactory part of my stay. Only the small kids' pool was heated, and it felt like a sardine can; every stroke, I'd bump into someone's leg. The water under the waterslide was freezing cold and completely unusable. The hotel beach is public, full of hawkers, and non-hotel guests occupied the lounge chairs with no one doing anything about it. Plus, there were betel nut bugs everywhere – both my legs were covered in bites after returning. I've been to Sanya five times, and this is the first time this has happened, which means this beach is the dirtiest. Oh, and everyone was smoking. I had hoped to clear my lungs this winter, but this hotel only offered secondhand smoke. My blessings to them are in the pictures.
