Four Points by Sheraton Hainan Sanya

Great location, beach is just over the road. Traffic was acceptable, maybe a bit heavier during evening hours. Breakfast was pretty good, with wide choices of Asian food. For Europeans it was OK, too, but most of their condiments and meats were pretty salty. Fruits and sushi was there every morning. Rooms were large, really much bigger than usual, with high ceiling. Bathroom with glass wall to main room. Bath tub in both our rooms. Pool was clean and there was present life guard all the time. Beds a bit harder, very good sleep from my side. Sanya itself is nice for holiday, but you should not expect similar experience as in Thailand, etc. Less night life, great for families. Except Binlang village no real attractions, of course aside of beach, sea and food.

Staff has problem with English. If you want anything else than easy task, they do not follow. They are nice, but do not get the meaning. In restaurant I found one waitress whose English was great. Reception, well, two of about eight people we talk :-). No beach towels (although pool towels were there). Behavior of some guests, usually Chinese... Smoking virtually anywhere, take food from my plate (WTH), opened room door to corridor. Jelly fish were in shallow waters for several days, I suspect due to fishing... It pretty burns :-(.

Location, view, friendly staff

Staff, although friendly and went out of their way to try to assist, few spoke any or good English. The two best English speaking workers were Dave, a bellman from Nepal and a young man from Zhengzhou, also a bellman. Disappointed that when I checked out at 6 am in the morning, the young lady at the reception desk did not know any English.
