A fairly large hotel of eight buildings, with a green well-groomed area, friendly staff, one large pool and several smaller ones, one has an imitation of a sandy shore. Although the pools did not really interest us, because. We had a room with private access to the pool. It is very convenient in terms of swimming whenever you want, especially in the evening without the fuss around.
The sea is much more interesting! Very clean water, sandy bottom, almost no waves, although before our arrival it was stormy and it was impossible to swim. There are always free sun loungers, even in the evening, when most Chinese go swimming. The entire hotel has a dozen people of European appearance. And the Chinese: couples in love and families in full force of all generations.
Breakfast is a large buffet with a preference for Chinese cuisine. Always fresh pastries, a lot of fruits, but most people prefer soup in the morning, which must be “collected” from different ingredients that they understand only.

This hotel is adjacent to the Marriott Hotel, where the territory is larger and more picturesque, but there are more people, judging by the beach. There is no entertainment anywhere, except for the lobby with live music. The internet is free too.
It is located at some distance from Sanya in Yalunvan Bay. To get from the hotel to Dodonghan, namely to the shopping centers "Winter" and "Summer", a cafe, you will need to spend 53 yuan on a taxi (point to the meter, if it refuses to turn it on, it's better to catch another taxi). We went a couple of times, shopping there is very peculiar and is designed specifically for tourists.
If you want to eat outside the hotel, you need to turn right at the exit and walk for 10-15 minutes to Crown Plaza, where there is a shopping center and all sorts of restaurants, near which girls with menus in pictures and translation into Russian invite you to go to them. The price, of course, will be less than in a hotel, but not cheap for China. Especially, oddly enough, seafood.
We took a trip to Monkey Island. A very picturesque funicular road and the monkeys themselves come close, there are many of them and very funny. There are two circus performances for visitors. We received pleasure.
Tea ceremony . We bought one type of tea, it was very fragrant when we tried it. Houses were brewed according to all the rules, it turned out to be not quite like that. The prices are also a scam, but we already understood this later . .
The weather during our stay was very warm, but without the sweltering heat. Even when it was overcast, a little rainy, it was still warm. I can't say for sure if I would like to come back here again. Without a doubt, it is worth visiting China and is not limited to Hainan alone.
