The hotel is right opposite the airport!
Before choosing this hotel, we couldn't decide for a long time between it and the Osean Sonic, which was $300 more expensive. We chose this one and regretted it. The biggest shock was right on the first night – it was simply impossible to sleep there!!! ! I don't know who was so poetic about the planes taking off and landing that you watch from your balcony, but they simply made it impossible to sleep! After a 10-hour flight, we couldn't get even 10 minutes of sleep – it was a disaster...We covered ourselves with pillows, put earplugs in our ears – it was all useless. We had to take sleeping pills because I felt like I was going crazy. It got a little better later, but I never got used to it. I had to constantly drink alcohol just to sleep. The other side of the hotel faces the sea, and you probably can't hear as much there, but there's an extra charge for sea-view rooms - 300 yuan per night, and everything was booked up because a lot of Chinese people came to the island before Chinese New Year, because they were on holiday. Another important criterion we used to choose this hotel was the availability of sun loungers and umbrellas, which was advertised on the tour operator's website. THEY ARE NOT THERE!!! ! And never have been!! ! Another scam! We had to hide from the sun under a palm tree and clear the dirt from the sand in the bushes (because they don't clean them). We also had to hurry to get a spot in the shade because the Chinese people wanted to lie there too. The beach itself is wide, the sand is yellowish, the entrance to the sea is gentle and sandy, the sea is clean. The first few days there were no one at all, then a few Chinese people started to appear.
Unlike Dadonghai, there are no corrals or whistlers keeping you out of the sea. Swim as much as you want and wherever you want.
The hotel is located far from the center; it's a 30-40-minute bus ride, and there are traffic jams. This is also a downside, as there's very little infrastructure near the hotel. There's a supermarket, about a kilometer along the street to the right from the main exit. We bought everything there—sweets, fruit, alcohol. There's also a night fruit market there from 5 a. m. to 10 a. m. Prices are slightly lower than elsewhere.
There's also an exit to the street at the back of the hotel near the pool. If you walk toward the center, there's a restaurant about 500 meters away, but it's more expensive than elsewhere. If you walk or drive a little further to the Phoenix Medical Center (you can get a massage there), then go up a parallel street, where you'll find more restaurants and better prices.
The shuttle service to the medical centers is very convenient. We traveled with both a guide and a Chinese guy on the beach (Maxim)—there are nuances to everything. Some places do things better, others are a bit more expensive; you have to try everything. We took them to the center of Tibet; it's right in the center, but far away, although I liked it the most.
The hotel breakfast is Chinese, like everywhere else. But I really like it. Noodle soup in the morning, there was fruit, but only the watermelon was tasty. Sometimes there were dumplings, greens, steamed buns. The coffee is terrible, from a machine, like everywhere else. I always bring my own.
I would never go to this hotel again.

Hello! We rested with a large group in January 2012. The hotel is actually very good, although the food could be made more varied. Bed linen was changed 2 times in 2 weeks, and then at our request. Hairdryer for wife and iron all working. It is advisable to take a room with a sea view, on the other side of the airport and landfill.

Hello! We rested with a large group in January 2012. The hotel is actually very good, although the food could be made more varied. Bed linen was changed 2 times in 2 weeks, and then at our request. Hairdryer for wife and iron all working. It is advisable to take a room with a sea view, on the other side of the airport and landfill. The hotel is on the outskirts. On the one hand, it was quiet and calm, on the other, I often had to take a taxi. The Chinese do not speak Russian or English at all! (The exception is a few sellers in stores aimed at trading with Russians) So if you do not know Chinese, this is your problem! It’s better not to go to treatment centers and it’s expensive and stupid! I really liked the Chinese Denis! I went with an assistant to our hotel for massage and needles. I will not describe everything, but some kind of shaman! And the price is quite reasonable. Faced with one unpleasant moment. A very negative impression was left by the unscrupulous behavior of the hotel guide "Pegas Turistik" Zhanna Butyrina and her assistant Sergey !! ! You can't call it anything but theft! More: For communication with Russia, we were offered a SIM card worth 120 yuan (at a cost of 30 yuan if you buy it elsewhere), well, that's okay. The cost of a call we were told would be 3 yuan to Russia and between local phones. Having asked Zhanna to replenish our account by 100 yuan, my wife and I saw an SMS that 33 yuan had been received on our account, but Zhanna said that it was minutes! After some time, we found out that if you replenish your account in another place, then how much money you give, so much goes to the account! And the cost of a call is not 3 yuan, but only 1! It turns out that Zhanna and Sergey put 2/3 of the money that we transferred to replenish the account in their pocket! This is pure deception and theft! And there were a lot of people like us. Have a nice rest! And don't get caught like us!
