Sunshine Resort Intime Sanya

Good hotel, the swimming pool was very hot. I have amazing view to the see. I recommended

Absolutely fantastic stay. Can't fault this hotel at all. Food at breakfast excellent and so much choice. Staff so lovely and helpful. We had booked a deluxe sea view room but were given a free upgrade to a suite. It was wonderful. Definitely 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Very much a Russian and Chinese holiday resort. We were the only British lol. No problem though.

I chose this hotel for my mother and I, having enjoyed my previous stay here back in 2021. I’d like to start by saying, the hotel is absolutely not to a five star standard, no doubt having been awarded this rating back when it opened however many decades ago, and never being reassessed. However, the location literally could not be any better(immediately on the beach), the grounds and swimming pools are clean and well maintained, the rooms and all public areas of the hotel are spotlessly clean, the AC works fantastically and, despite being pretty outdated, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The biggest problem here is the staff, most of whom are nonchalant at best. For an apparent five star hotel that seems to cater to majority foreign guests, seemingly not one member of staff speaks English, or even Russian. Most of the staff at reception seem completely uninterested in actually helping guests, even more frustrating most seem to hide behind ‘trainee’ name badges, meaning they can’t even be named. When I asked the three workers stood at reception if one of them could speak English, two didn’t even bother to look up from their computer, let alone answer me, instead mocking me under their breathe, assuming that because I asked for an English speaker, I cannot understand Chinese, but I can. I was also frustrated when the worker who checked us in, holding our British passports in his hand, set his translator to Russian to try and communicate with us. Breakfast was also incredibly chaotic due to staff issues, who seemed to clear tables at a glacial pace, if at all. I watched many guests wander around, unable to find a single clean table, with literally every one piled full of dirty dishes and not a member of staff in sight. Despite the staff problems, we still enjoyed our stay and would probably return, but just don’t come here expecting a five star experience.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The excellent location was the main reason I booked it again. Although the hotel is a bit outdated, the rooms are still clean. The staff is professional, and changing rooms was no problem at all. The breakfast buffet is sufficient, and the pool facilities are inviting. The hotel is mainly frequented by Russian guests. Mostly families stayed at the hotel, and it was quiet. There are plenty of excursion opportunities, and the hotel offers a good range of activities.

We had a fantastic stay at the resort. The rooms were very clean and amenities were endless. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast had many good Western and Chinese options. We would definitely stay here again!

The window is old and doesn't close well. In the description it said that it had a bathtub and there was only a shower
