At the end of the day, it is China
Tried to stick a couple in a room with 2 twin beds, did not ask. Typical China. Breakfast was really bad for a western hotel chain in China, but it was "free". Swimming pool was decent and beach scene was not bad (water is a little dirty on Sanya Bay), but a lot of locals trying to sell you fruit and jewelry non-stop. Rooms smelled moldy, both did after we changed. Not very clean, not very comfy. Bad signage around resort... Guess this is what you get at a HoJo after all.

Perfect for quick get-away!
Nipped over from mainland China, to get some blue sky and fresh air in the most luxurious of Resorts. We where not disappointed! Staff is helpful and friendly, even though check-in could be more efficient affair, but not bad at all by Chinese standards. Lush well appointed clean room to top standard. Resort is very well equipped too with several swimming pools and a private Beach stretch. When there, it's not necessary to go anywhere else for food and drink. Good combined styles buffet breakfast. Children friendly with even a creche facility. Would go back again.

Great bang for your buck!
A solid place for a peaceful and romantic getaway... especially when taking into account value for money. We got a brilliant deal for the QIng Ming festival weekend. The beds were fine, I am probably too picky but my fiancee had no issue and the food was actually very good. The only thing was that the staff might have been trained a little better, but that is the hardest thing to get right in China! Beach front not as good as Halong Bay, but then you get what you pay for...

perfect place to stay a few days
The hotel itself is good, but the beach is not as clean as the yalongwan. However, there's lots of water sport activities and they are much cheaper than other beaches. There are constructions next to the hotel.

Nice hotel, lacks service efficiency
The location and facilities are outstanding. The staff is not very motivated and getting a drink at the bar or pool will take way more time than it should. We were told breakfast was not free by an employee who didn't bother to check if that was actually true. For this price I dont plan to go back.

This is a 5-star hotel in terms
This is a 5-star hotel in terms of facilities and amenities available. However, the service is not 5-star in many ways (but this has been my experience at other 5-star hotels in China, so I was not surprised). The room service was very slow and not accurate. The concierge desk was not swift with helping guests get taxis. The cleaning was often done with a rag that appeared to be dirty and was not full of cleaning agents. The two times that we tried to eat in the hotel restaurants, they were out of the food that we ordered (hamburgers and pizzas) which made dining frustrating. However, the breakfast buffet was great! Having said all of this, we did have a great time here. It's just that you have to be ready for service that is not 5-star (which we were because we have lived in China for a long time and have had similar experiences at other hotels in China).

Howard Johnson is a huge place
Howard Johnson is a huge place with lots of space and facilities for the family to enjoy. We like the open space and recreational facilities. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. However, rates for transport services are high - much cheaper to walk out of the resort and hail a metered taxi. The surrounding area is full of new hotels being built - it will be a glut soon. The beach was under construction when we were there - so we missed the beach very much. Other setback is that there are no convenient restaurants in the neighbourhood or a shopping centre to buy stuff. On the whole, we enjoy the resort very much!

还过得去的酒店
在这里住了一个晚上，酒店硬件不错，房间较大，周围绿化很好，园景及海景都很好，早餐环境也很好，品种丰富，但也有不满意的地方，我在网上订房时是有机场免费接送车的，但到酒店后才知要收50元/次，酒店离机场很近，自己打车才17、18元，另外让酒店帮忙叫的士也要收费5元，虽然收费不高，但感觉很不好，我在国外旅行的酒店注明提供免费接送机服务的就真的提供免费服务，没有接送车服务的酒店也会很主动热情地帮忙叫车，不会收费的；另外这个酒店还有不满意的就是自助早餐时，服务员不会主动收走客人吃完东西的碟子，碟子放在桌子上放不下了，要叫他们才来收拾。总的来说酒店的硬件较好，但服务未跟上。

3 hour check in and mushrooms in the bathroom
It took THREE hours to check in. The hotel did not find our reservation and tried to get us book the room again for higher price. After two hours on the phone with Hotels.com customer service and fighting with the hotel front desk they finally found our reservation. The room 188 was decent except that there were mushrooms growing in our bathroom, under the tap. Like actual, about 7 cm big mushrooms. You would not expect that in 5 star hotel. Plus the room smelled like cigarettes but we knew we booked a smoking room. AC was working well and there were even few English speaking TV-channels. The pool area was nice and easy access to beach. The breakfast had multiple choices but was extremely busy and it was hard to find a free table. But we were traveling during the holiday week so that might had something to do with it. Summa summarum, I would not stay in this hotel again. You can get better deals for the same price.

ホテルの場所
南国らしい開放感があるホテルの作りで、全体の感じは良い印象でした。ホテルの施設は可もなく不可もなし。ただお値段は流石にちょっと…って感じです。すぐ近くにスーパーモバゲーあり、必要な物はここで揃えるとリーズナブルです。ついでにお土産もここで買うことも出来ます。観光地のショップで売っている物と同じ物がここでも購入することができます。 ホテルにはプールの他、ビーチもありますが、波が強く、砂が巻き上げられているので、見た目には綺麗には見えませんでした。海の綺麗さを求めるのであれば、亚龙湾の方がお勧めです。 正味3日の滞在でしたが、ホテルのプールをメインにのんびり過ごせました。
