  Bueno para ir solo un fin de semana...

  Realmente no entiendo el concepto de "resort" en Asia, ya que yo conocía como un resort a un hotel que tiene todas las facilidades para que los huéspedes no tengan que salir del hotel en sus visitas; desgraciadamente este hotel no cumple con esas expectativas. Decidí hospedarme en ese hotel basado en las fotos de la pagina web, pero al llegar las cosas han cambiado un poco, las instalaciones no son muy nuevas y a veces dan el aspecto de sucias o con falta de mantenimiento. El buffer es bastante grande pero no toda la comida es buena. Las albercas son de una altura muy baja que realmente te sientes en alberca para niños. El hotel se conecta con la playa por un túnel y aunque tiene una zona reservada de camastros para el hotel, realmente cualquier persona puede llegar y quedarse ahí. Mi estancia de 10 días fue realmente no muy buena, puede que lo disfrutes para estancias mas cortas definitivamente.

  Overall a good stay at HJ

  We visited for 4days over the labour holiday and overall it was a good stay. When we arrived we were greeted by the welcoming reception team and check in was nice and easy considering we dont speak mandarin. We were taken to our room by Mindy () who was extremely helpful and professional. She speaks perfect English and was very helpful by pointing out where the restaurants are and giving us all the information we needed for a comfortable stay. We had to ask Mindy to help us with booking a reservation for the BBQ during our stay and she was more than happy to help us. Mindy is a credit to the hotel and our stay wouldnt have been the same without her. We found that the hotel service and amenities do not meet the standard of other international hotels in Sanya and could be more diverse and open in their approach.

  Very nice place to stay

  Clean and cozy rooms, friendly staff, nice and neat poolside and private beach, a lot lot of trees and flowers around, great variety of meals for breakfast. Minus: very few people speak English or Russian.

  Terrible hotel, definately not 5-star!

  We were on family vacation, and checked in to Howard Johnson hotel for a 5 days vacation. We were looking forward to this stay at what we though were a 5star resort, but it ended up terrible because of all the faults with this hotel. They brag about being a 5-star hotel, but they do not even reach up to a 3-star hotel in European measure. The hotel is dirty, old, and tragic, and we also spotted other guests to spit directly on the floor inside the hotel! The hotel say on their webpage that there is a indoor swimming pool, beauty parlour, and many facilities. First of all - the indoor pool is NOT in use! Pool is emptied, and the room looks like it is being used as storage room insted. And beauty parlour... did not see that anywhere either. One of the outside pools is also closed, with no other explanation. There is not enough sunbeds around the other pool either. And the towels looks dirty and old. The pool bar is one of the saddest pool bars I have ever seen.. just a few soda boxes, and a few icecreams in the freezer. I tried to buy water, but that was very difficult. They only had a few bottles left, and I couldnt buy as many bottles as I wanted. And payment was also tricky. I tried to charge this to my room, but they didnt understand what I was saying. A total lack of english speaking personnell. It doesnt seem like they are used to people buying anything from the pool bar...?? Why do they have a bar then?? We tried to be positive and give this hotel a chance.. but we ended up more and more disappointed for each hour went by. Breakfast is a total chaos. It is noisy and people everywhere, and the buffet is not good at all. No international buffet, only chinese. Several times we found hair in the food. And some people grab the food with their hands instead of using utencils, and also cough and sneeze directly at the food. People were also hoarding food (especially the fruit) so it was empty almost all the time. They didnt manage to fill up the buffet fast enough. And - we were craving for a nice cup of black coffee for breakfast... the first day they only had a coffee machine with nescaffe instant coffee with milk and sugar. Not my kind of coffee! The next day they had ordinary filter coffee, but this was not the best Ive tasted either. One evening we wanted to try the restaurant at the hotel. They gave us a plastic menu, with writings on it saying - «NO!» behind almost everything on the menu! The only thing they had was hamburger, one spaghetti dish, and one sandwich. Not at all what we wanted from a restaurant at a 5 star hotel. Our daughter ended up with food poisoning, not a fun thing to get on what should have been a nice vacation. We started to eat at other restaurants nearby insted, and one of our favourites ended up being at Pullman hotel. The service there was fantastic, and they had good english speaking personnell! We just regret that we didnt book hotel there instead of this aweful Howard Johnson resort. The beach that belongs to this resort is also aweful! Dirty and full of poeple trying to sell you fruit etc ALL THE TIME! The area around is also ugly, looks like a construction site. And we were full of bites (flees from fhe sand...?) after beeing at the beach. We also spotted several dead fish where we were swimming.. and if you have kids - be aware of people filming and taking pictures of your kids! Also under water.. I am usually not this picky when I stay at hotels, and I have never posted a review like this before. But this hotel was such a huge disappointment that I really really would not recommend this to anyone! The first sight of the hotel looks promising - with idyllic pool area and gardens. The room is large, and ok. But looks old and is not clean. Like I said before - this is NOT a 5 star hotel. They have a long way to go to get to that level. I hope the hotel takes this review seriously, and that they will do what it takes to earn the status as a 5 star resort.

  Hotel Service Team Not Reponsive

  I booked a stay from 14 Feb for 5 nights. I need to cancel it now as a result of the Corona Virus outbreak in China. I tried to contact the hotel several times, through the agent I booked, through email. No answer at all. How can this be a 5 star hotel? I'd give 0 star if I could.
