The hotel itself was good. Kitchen was really useful. Stuff is polite and helpful. My kid really liked Cubby bear quest, and Cubby Town shops and bars were really cute—looked like toy lego shops.

The worst thing here is not the hotel itself, it is the sea — it is literally useless, since even with tiny waves it closes with the red flag. And there is now way to ignore the ban, because Dadonghai beach is packed with lifeguards and security. The stupidest thing was that we had a chance to compare Sanya Bay beach and Dadonghai beach the same day, because we moved to Ascott from Holliday Inn. There were same waves on Sanya Bay beach, but is was fully open (or at least no problems with lifeguards), and on the same day Dadonghai beach was closed, and lifeguards were physically preventing swimming (shouting, grabbing hands etc.) Eventually we had to go to Xiaodonghai beach by taxi every day. Not the best seaside vacation to be honest.

We arrived early from a long flight. The reception staff used translate and WeChat to communicate with us as we couldn’t speak Chinese. They stored our luggage while our room got ready and suggested we go sightseeing and would message us once our room was ready. This worked great as we went to the pineapple mall had a look around and got something to eat and within 2 hrs our room was ready.

We had a one bedroom executive seaview suite in building #2 for 2 days as a landing transition hotel. They have a nice view of the ocean. 10 min walk to the beach swimming areas and commercial areas and the walk is a very beautiful path alongside the beach, not the entire beach is available to swim, but the swimming areas have bay watch. If you need to go to a supermarket, calling a taxi is like 1 Euro in the area. The hotel is close to a busy tourist area and city centre, but itself in a very tranquil corner of the beach. The Luhuitou mountain park is also nearby and it’s free to visit. The room is amazing, very clean, spacious, modern facilities, luxurious, nice view of the ocean. The breakfast is delicious with a lot of options, there are also cooks that make noodles on request. The staffs are very helpful. As an aparthotel, they’ve removed some unnecessary things from a proper hotel like the bar, minibar, etc. but you have everything you need if you can cake care of yourself. it’s very good value and feels like home

The pool is not heated and we came in winter, so we could only swim in the few hours of high sunshine.

Good apartments with sea view. Nice big clean pool. Newly furnished. Nice bath cosmetics. Comfortable bed. Everything new and clean! The breakfast was good. Calm atmosphere and tasty food.

Not too much sun beds by the pool. There’s no kitchen cooking stuff, nothing you can cook food in. And we had to buy two forks to eat(there were only Chinese sticks). After room-cleaning service one of the forks gone missing. It’s not a big problem, actually a little bit funny. But why, why did they need our fork?!

The location was great! Pretty close to places that we want to go. Love the beach at Dadonghai Bay. It’s just five mins walk away. The breakfast was great! Love the hot soya bean drink and the good variety of food to choose from. The apartment was spacious and clean. Love the swimming pool too. Brought my mum and mother in law for a swim. The lifeguard was very attentive.

The apartment worked perfectly for our family. Quite clever design as the two apartments can combine into one large 3-bedroom apartment. Facility is new, clean and modern. Kids play area is decent.

The breakfast area can be a bit bigger..and food selection can be a bit better. The staff needs to speak English if the hotel targets on foreign guests. The outdoor swimming pool is touch cold for winter cold days. It’d be good if it has a heated spa area.

Had an ocean view room which offered sunrise view from bed! Of course it warmed up fairly quickly with the Sanya sun. Close to coastal walk and about 15-20 min to main road with eateries and groceries. Enjoyed the breakfast, esp the veg dishes. There are convenience shop and cafes for quick bites.

Not really a minus. Just that it's in the resorts area, great for those who want a quiet retreat but not really for tourists to get a ground feel of Sanya.

Excellent service! The room is impressive

The apartment is spacious and quiet with a very nice ocean view. It is well equipped with various facilities including big TV, big fridge, washing machine, cooking utensils, etc. The staff are helpful and friendly. The breakfast is exceptioinal, beyond our expectations. The restaurant serves classic and tasty southeast Asian food.

The only minor drawback with the apartment is the relatively inconvnient location. The closest convenience store or supermarket would be around 10 min walk.
