In Sanya, because the general reputation hasn’t been great, I didn’t dare venture far from the hotel,
so I basically just wandered around the property. The hotel is quite large.
I used a free night certificate and paid extra to upgrade to Club level, which covered breakfast and dinner.
During check-in, they gave us flower wristbands and grapefruit juice. After that was sorted, we took an electric cart straight to the Club floor—
it’s quite a distance! First, let me borrow a photo to show the panoramic view of the hotel:
Hotel Panorama
On the right is the hotel entrance; the building on the right is the main building where the lobby is located, with ocean-view rooms on the upper floors.
The remaining W-shaped three-story building has garden-view rooms on the second and third floors. The row on the far left consists of Club rooms, and the entire first floor is made up of villas.
The blue structure above the Club floor is the Club Lounge. To the left is the Club pool.
The cluster of small houses over the water on the far left is the Shanghai Chinese Restaurant. Along the beachfront are the Asian Restaurant, Beach Bar, and Mediterranean All-Day Dining restaurant. Next to the main building is the Beer Factory.
There’s also an ocean-view platform out on the sea, along with several swimming pools and one heated pool. Beside the main building are public facilities like a gym and game room~~~
Although the room is listed as 80 square meters, much of that space is taken up by landscaping and outdoor areas, so the interior doesn’t feel particularly spacious.
The outdoor area features a sofa and an unheated plunge pool, but it’s too cold to use this time of year~~~
The Happy Hour at the Club Lounge offers a wide variety of options and tastes great—it easily covers dinner.

Returned to the room after dinner; turndown service had been done and fruit had been delivered~~
We arrived late on the first day, and by the time we finished dinner, it was already dark—we didn’t even get to see the ocean… Went out for a stroll to enjoy the night views.

Breakfast can be enjoyed either at the Club Lounge or at the Mediterranean Restaurant. Since the Lounge has fewer options and no ocean view, we had breakfast at the Mediterranean Restaurant both days.
The breakfast selection is extensive and tasty. Unfortunately, there was no oatmeal, but they did have tea-steeped eggs~~ There were various fresh-squeezed juices, and sitting outside enjoying breakfast with an ocean view was wonderful.
On the second day at noon, we tried Thai food at the Asian Restaurant. The taste was average and the prices were steep… Not recommended.
