The hotel is very beautiful and impresses with its scale. The staff is impeccable, they speak some English. There is a Russian girl-manager, but we did without her services. We prepared for the trip in advance and, in principle, knew everything - about the hotel, excursions, prices, etc. However, the sea was disappointing. Firstly, what is positioned as "the hotel's own beach" in fact is not. In the evening there are a lot of people who are not at all a hotel, a lot of annoying fruit and beads sellers who are already accustomed to Russian tourists and do not want to lower prices. Fruits are weighed on fake scales, the sight of which takes laughter. I sent them all. The Chinese are driving along the beach on ATVs, and in the sea - the same Chinese on motor boats, from which not only the waves, but also the nasty smell of diesel fuel - I least of all expected this on vacation "by the sea under a palm tree. " Well, the proximity of the beach - I would like the sea to be closer. Somehow, in scrap, it was dragging to the sea along the alley and the underground passage. The sea is clean but not transparent. True, no living creatures-jellyfish were observed. The sea was sometimes calm, sometimes with strong waves - in principle, both suited us.
The hotel has several swimming pools, the largest one is of the Olympic type, but even in it the depth is no more than 1.80 m, in the rest - 1.20 and we did not swim in them. There is a pool with fish - paid.
The hotel area is very beautiful, from the 13th floor we had a wonderful view. The inside of the hotel is also stylish and damn nice. The rooms are very pleasant. My daughters and I lived in the Deluxe Sea View, as described on the websites - everything is in the room, including a hairdryer and washing powder. Cleaned every day, towels are changed too, but bed linen - only on request (there is a special card - put it on the bed - change). Water - 1 bottle per person per day. There is a kettle, tea bags (black, green) and coffee are added every day.
We did not take a taxi to the city with hotel taxi drivers, but went out onto the road and caught a taxi and drove according to the meter - to the city - 20 yu, to Dadonghai - 25 or 30 yu. Hotel rooms charge 30-40 and 50, respectively.
We ate mainly in the hotel restaurants. Expensive, of course, but very tasty and definitely from fresh. We went to such a measure after my eldest daughter was poisoned with seafood in the Tavern on the second day of the trip. The poisoning was very serious - they went to the hospital. In general, there are small cafes in the hotel area where you can eat inexpensively, and the restaurant (with a big stretch) Marina is inexpensive, I paid 175 yu for lunch for three, at the hotel I gave 350-400 yu every day.
I recommend the hotel itself for recreation, but I myself will not go there myself - and indeed, in general, to Hainan. Better to Phuket to Thailand.

In August 2010 we went on vacation to China. 11 nights in Hainan, 2 nights in Beijing. The hotel is new, opened in autumn 2009. Beautiful, with thoughtful design in a relaxed style. Large, about 1000 rooms + villas. Due to the large territory, you don’t feel a lot of people at all, you only see them in the restaurant for breakfast.

In August 2010 we went on vacation to China. 11 nights in Hainan, 2 nights in Beijing.
The hotel is new, opened in autumn 2009. Beautiful, with thoughtful design in a relaxed style. Large, about 1000 rooms + villas.
Due to the large territory, you don’t feel a lot of people at all, you only see them in the restaurant for breakfast. By Chinese standards, breakfasts are very decent: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, European cuisine. European dishes are not enough, but you won’t stay hungry.
Huge territory, swimming pools, indoor pool, expensive spa, private beach. The transition to the beach is underground, which is very convenient, because. the road is quite busy. The beach is guarded and only Russians are there in the morning. The Chinese do not swim in the sea. They appear only in the evening when the sun sets. The pools are open until 23 hours, there is a small pool with fish for peeling. at the rate.
There are 3 restaurants on the territory. Were in a European one. Cooking is mediocre, very approximately reminiscent of European cuisine. Prices are not low.
The rooms are good, the furniture is new. There is no wall between the bathroom and the room, only a grid. This is due to the humid climate. The plumbing is modern. Cleaning is normal every day, but without much zeal. There is always tea, coffee, water, a kettle in the room. There are bathrobes, b. w. walk to the sea or pool, slippers. All rooms have a balcony. Our room overlooked the hotel. Beauty, greenery. The sea is visible from all floors.
When checking in, try to refuse rooms with balconies to the street, because. the area is being actively built up and you are guaranteed a view of the construction site. The hotel is large, there are always free rooms.
The staff is polite, smiling. Russian is not understood at all, only
one employee at the reception - Leonid, English - only at the reception.
We traveled with a child. We put an extra bed on which it was impossible to sleep. The springs are super-hard. There are no alternatives. So the child slept on the couch in the room.
Despite the 5 stars, insects still periodically appeared in the room. Ants in the area near the kettle and toilet. Once a large Asian cockroach crawled. not very pleasant.
In general, I liked the hotel. I did not like the rest in Hainan itself.
BORING. This despite the fact that we did not expect someone to entertain us, we went prepared in the sense of sights and excursions. This is not the first time in Asia, there is something to compare with. I liked it in Thailand, Vietnam, but not here.
But this is my personal opinion.
The Chinese food was annoying.
Prices in Hainan are not low. Treatment, spa treatments, food in decent cafes and restaurants, excursions are not cheap.
We will not go to Hainan again, but you can try once.
Contingent at the hotel: 80% Chinese (fulfill their dream of visiting a paradise island), 15% Koreans and Japanese, 5% Russians. Do not forget that China is a socialist country. In my opinion, some Chinese obviously came for some preferential or similar vouchers. They themselves do not really fit in with
this rather expensive and modern hotel.
Have a nice rest and positive impressions!
