Elle’s travels
February 8, 2022
Unfortunately the staff didn’t speak English which made check in and check out difficult.
The hotel’s website was deceiving and a lot nicer than the hotel itself. It’s cheap and cheerful and you get what you pay. The pool was a lot smaller than the pictures, it was filthy, and there were no pool pillows for the sun beds or chairs, which made sitting by the pool uncomfortable.
Unfortunately the private beach opposite the hotel was closed due to building work, the next beach is a few minutes walk away. The hotel itself is in a quiet location with no restaurants around. We drove all the way to Dolphin bar (1 hour 10 minutes away from the hotel).
The hotel room was lovely and clean but it was noisy, there were cracks above the door so we could hear everything in the corridors and the rooms with children next door. The hotel did not give us ‘garden view room’, we had a room with view of the car park which was a waste of money. Upon asking for nicer rooms (having paid for it) they said they had none left.
The breakfast was extremely disappointing, we wouldn’t recommend paying for it - drive an hour away instead.
Due to Sanya being a long beach and the hotel being far away from a lot of things, we’d definitely stay at a more bustling hotel resort next time.
