Huayu Resort & SPA Yalong Bay Sanya 5* is a stunning Chinese-style hotel with a beautiful green area, a large swimming pool and spacious rooms.
The cleaning is excellent! The breakfasts are varied! (the breakfast menu consists mainly of Chinese dishes, but there are enough dishes of European cuisine (fried eggs, toasts, fruits, porridges, pancakes, pastries, rice, noodles, potatoes, dumplings, soups, chicken broth, herbs, vegetables) - you will definitely not stay hungry, everything is satisfying and delicious!).
The staff is responsive, all requests are fulfilled very quickly. (The hotel staff does not know Russian, not everyone speaks English either, but the reception staff, waiters and hotel guides use an online translator – there were no problems with understanding)
The room has everything you need (slippers, bathrobes, daily replenishment of drinking water, regular change of bed linen). The windows offer wonderful views of the blooming garden!
Convenient transport accessibility, developed infrastructure, everything you need nearby – shops, supermarket, cafes, massage parlors! The sea is 5-10 minutes away at a leisurely pace. The beach is wonderful! We were very satisfied with the rest and the choice of the hotel!
A decent hotel! Beautiful territory! Good children's animation! The hotel has Russian-speaking guides who will help you solve any questions! Regarding the tour ... if you go by yourself, then everything is very expensive for tourists! For comparison, the entrance to the thermal springs costs 198 yuan and the tour from local guides costs 200-240 yuan! The price of a round-trip taxi! It's the same story with Yalong Bay! The entrance to the park is 290 yuan, and the local guide has 260 with the cost of a taxi! Very clean everywhere! The Chinese use translators to communicate! WhatsApp and Yandex need a vPN! And it always crashes! In general, the Internet is a problem! But the guides have 10 yuan per day at excellent speed! +8613359553566 Dima! We had a massage right at the hotel on the 7th floor in Phoenix!
We had a rest in November 24.
Positive:
•excellent large area, beautiful, green. Upon early arrival, they even allocated a bed in the auditorium on the ground floor to sleep before check-in. It's true that not only we slept there, but also people, but thank you for not having to sit in the lobby for 5 hours.
•Direct access from the hotel to the shopping center and a huge number of cafes. Coffee shops, pastry shops, clothes, massage. Of course, the area couldn't be better in terms of infrastructure. There is absolutely everything. You definitely do not need to buy dinners and lunches at the hotel.
•Comfortable rooms, there are separate ones with a private pool. They clean well. The room has everything. Toothbrushes, slippers, bathrobes, beach slates too.
Minuses:
• the breakfasts are very meager, almost 80% of the menu is Chinese. From the European there were only fried eggs, toasts, potatoes every other day and sometimes it was possible to snatch pancakes) there were only 3 types of fruits and the same thing every day: melon, watermelon and guava.
• The hotel is tired. There are no tiles in the pool directly on the floor and on the walls. Umbrellas and deck chairs partially rotted from humidity.
• Sunbeds on the beach are a separate pain for the whole Sanya. Not just this hotel. There are only a few of them on the beach. There are 20 pieces for the whole hotel. 8 out of 9 days, by 10 a.m., all the sunbeds by the sea were occupied. Well, who gets up at 6, it's probably not a problem) there are no paid sunbeds in principle.
• Beach towels are very often missing, and if there are, they are sometimes in the mud, then in white spots from chlorine. But they are allowed to take towels from the room.
Overall, the hotel is not bad. Now there is a partial renovation, judging by the sign, they were bought by Swissotel. Perhaps some of the shortcomings will be corrected. If you treat it like a good 4, then the hotel is quite itself. Unfortunately, it does not reach the high-quality five yet (or already).
