Four Seasons Ocean Courtyard Hotel Sanya

Hotellet ligger ganska långt från havet och affärer, men har ett vackert stort område, frukosträtter är avsedda för turister från Kina, för européer är valet dåligt, men frukosten sker på en vacker grön terrass. Rummen är mycket gamla och nedgångna, städningen är acceptabel. Jag var nöjd med dörrvakten som heter Tony, mycket välkomnande och vänlig, han försöker kommunicera på engelska, resten av personalen talar bara kinesiska, du måste förklara dig själv genom en onlineöversättare

It was one of the best Hotel Experiences we have had so far. We checked in Late night so were allowed to late check out, and Was given a free upgrade to Business Suite which was amazing. Thankyou to the kind gentleman. Breakfast Buffet is amazing with an open air sitting area to Enjoy the Morning with swimming pool. Would love to recommend people who are looking for a good hotel.

Pros: - Friendly & helpful staff: the reception desk managers are quick & obliging, will call a taxi for you & answer all the questions. And even though there's an evident problem with communicating in English, as only a couple of managers speak it, you will get the assistance with every issue asap, as the team uses translating apps. Same way there's always a safeguard at the pool from early morning till the late evening. The cooks & waiters do their best during the breakfast time & the buffet table is organized quite comfortable. And special thanks to the ladies responsible for housekeeping, they are real fairies. You don't see them, but everything is clean & shining every day. - Ideal location: it took 22 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport by taxi & approximately the same time to get to Yalong bay. We needed just 11 minutes of walking to get to Dadonghai beach, 40 minutes of walking to get to Luhuitou scenic area & 15 minutes more to get from there to Xiaodunhai beach, but we like walking. If you don't - taxi or public transport will get you there muxh quicker. - Public transport availability: there're bus stops of different bus routes close to the hotel & it's quite easy to get to Nanshan cultural park, Dongtian park, Yanoda rainforest area & many other sightseeings. Same way you can easily get to shopping malls in Sanya (Joy city, for eg.), Sanya romance park & so on - Additional services: if you are not a fan of self-organized adventures, there's an excursion office in the lobby. We didn't use it, so can't say exactly what they suggest, but other tourists used it - The food at breakfasts is a combination of local & European cuisines with a wide range of dishes, typical for buffets. You will never stay hungry & for sure will find something for your taste - All of the facilities, including the restaurants, the pool, the sitting areas, same way as the hotel territory as a whole, were top tier. Neat, tidy & well maintained - As for the room itself, it was quite comfortable for two persons: spacious, filled with light, decorated with wood, which made it look cozy & some kind of "aquarium" design. Yes, it's a bit "tired", but maintained in a good state Cons: - There's a gym, but it's really tiny: there's a treadmill, a cable machine, a stationary bicycle, a set of dumbells. As far as I can remember, there was also a rowing machine, but it didn't work. There was no abs wheel, or even one inclined bench or cardio stepper, same way there was no yoga mats. Just not much for girls( Actually I understand, why: for 7 days we saw just 1-2 persons a day using the gym, but still it's a good idea to have it for those, who care about their shape - If you are a vegetarian, as one of us, be careful, while choosing dishes at the breakfast buffet: sometimes on the note tablet it's said, that it's baked vegetables, but there're pieces of baked meat or chicken within them. Just be attentive - For us the main disappointment were some guests, who behaved quite impolite: smoked inside the elevators, though there was large notice reminding on prohibition to do that. Same way during the breakfasts some guests managed to create such a mess not only on the tables but around them. Have no idea, for what reason adult people throw food on the floor again and again, but it looks ridiculous. Anyway, good manners can't be bought & your behaviour in public places says much more about your personality. But thanks a lot once again to the restaurant staff, who makes all that mess disappear quickly Anyway, the pros evidently overweighed the cons, so we can definitely recommend this hotel for staying in Dadonghai area
