In our article we want to talk about the Palm Beach Resort Spa Sanya, which is located on the territory of the best resort in the Middle Kingdom. Hainan Island is considered the best Chinese he alth resort, it is also called Eastern Hawaii. Once upon a time, the island was a place of exile for nobles. And now tourists all over the world have heard about this paradise in the South China Sea. Residents of the Far East and Siberia have long been recovering here, curing ailments, and at the same time basking in the warm sun and clear sea water.

Reviews of visitors about the rooms
I would like to note that the Hotel Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5(we will give guest reviews later in the article) previously really had the status of a five-star complex, apparently, there were reasons for that. Currently, the hotel has the fourth category. According to the guests of the hotel, the rooms require renovation and updating of furniture. Unfortunately, not everyone is satisfied with the quality of work and the appearance of plumbing. Very often there are cases when tourists encounter breakdowns immediately after settling in, so they ask to be relocated to the best apartments. The administration willingly agrees, but it is very difficult to find a room in the best condition. Our compatriots, as a rule, are settled in small three-story houses called bungalows. The main multi-storey building is occupied by Chinese tourists themselves.
It's not that the rooms are bad, but they are in need of a facelift. But regarding plumbing guestshotels are unanimous in negative reviews.
In the complex, for some reason, most of the rooms are equipped with single beds, so it is quite difficult to find rooms with double furniture. A similar problem can be solved on your own by moving the beds, if the situation allows it.
Location of the complex and its territory
Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) has a good location. The beach of the complex is just a three minute walk. The distance from Sanya Phoenix International Airport is no more than ten kilometers. But to the railway station - fifteen kilometers. The complex offers free parking.
Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 4 has a very large and beautiful area divided by a road. There are a lot of trees, flowers, greenery in the courtyard of the complex. A feature of the complex can be called charming ponds with real goldfish. The backwaters are not very clean, but they create a special atmosphere.
Hotel facilities
Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 4has two swimming pools on the territory. One of them is open for guests until late at night, there is a bar near it. When it gets dark, people move from the beach to sun loungers near the pond, and continue their rest there. Swimming in the pool by the light of lanterns is incredibly romantic. A wonderful tree grows above the water, the flowers of which constantly fall into the pool. Swimming among such beauty is something amazing.
In addition, the complex has tennis courts, a massage parlour,a golf course, a beauty salon, a fitness center, five conference rooms and a business center. Dry cleaning and laundry services are available for a surcharge. On the territory of the complex there are several shops where, if necessary, you can buy everything you need for your holiday. In addition, there are many souvenir shops and local cafes around the hotel where you can have a delicious dinner if you get bored with the food in the complex.
On the coast, active tourists can always go in for water sports, try out new hobbies. There are all conditions for this here.
There is a medical center on the third floor of the main building, the services of which can be used for a fee.
There is a cemetery near the territory of Palm Beach Resort Spa Hotel 4 (Sanya). Currently, it is not operating, and from afar it resembles a square. However, not all vacationers like this neighborhood. Still, people come to relax and escape from problems.
Sea, beach
Palm Beach Resort Spa Hotel 4 (Sanya) has its own beach. In general, the location of the complex is its highlight, since not every hotel is located on the first line. A small inconvenience is that you need to cross the road to get to the shore, but this is not so difficult. The beach of the hotel is sandy, there are never waves on the sea. Umbrellas and sun loungers on the coast are completely free.
Speaking of the Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya), reviews of which, by the way, are rather contradictory, it is worthnote the presence of small midges on the shore. According to vacationers, insects live in the grass on the beach and behave quite aggressively, which is why a lot of bites appear on the bodies of tourists. Unfortunately, no local creams affect midges at all, it is impossible to get rid of it. Apparently, there are periods when insects appear and then disappear somewhere. The rest of the coast is very clean and beautiful. The water is warm and clear.
There are always a lot of fishermen on the shore waiting for their catch. Swimming in the sea, you can see flocks of shrimp, small fish, squid. There are also small jellyfish in the water, but they are not scary, because they do not sting at all.
Food at the hotel
I would like to pay special attention to nutrition. When buying a tour at Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya Bay), you get only breakfast. As for dinner and lunch, they can also be ordered at the hotel. And you can have a good and inexpensive meal in local cafes, of which there are many in the vicinity of the hotel. The food there is quite normal and tasty, so you can safely use it. Due to the fact that the resort is located near the sea, a lot of seafood dishes are prepared in all establishments. This is definitely worth taking advantage of. Tourists are advised to be more careful about the choice of dishes, since the Chinese cook all sorts of marine reptiles that we are not used to eating. In the variety of local food, it is quite possible to choose something to your taste.
The hotel serves European, Chinese and seafood dishes for breakfast. If you don't likelocal food, then you can choose more suitable options for yourself. Some tourists find that the morning meal is very monotonous, while others emphasize that they are quite satisfied with the food. Apparently, individual preferences affect.
Standard breakfast at the hotel includes: sausages, duck (cooked according to a local recipe), vegetables, fruits, meat dishes, porridge, yogurt.
In general, vacationers are satisfied with the food. It's great that the Chinese carefully prepare not only their traditional dishes, but also European ones, since not all guests can master the local gastronomic delights. Still, European food is more familiar to our compatriots.
Quality of Service
The Chinese are very interesting people. They are very sensitive to smiles and kindness. It is for this reason that they treat those guests who do not show aggressiveness better. This point is worth considering. Unfortunately, a place like Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya, China) only has Chinese-speaking staff. But this is not a problem of the hotel, but rather, local customs. In China, it is not customary to use English at all. However, our compatriots do not have problems in communication, because among the staff of the complex there are people who perfectly understand the Russian language.
By the way, in China quite a lot of local people speak and understand our language.
Checking into the hotel is fast. In general the service is very good. Except for the fact that in the rooms for a long timeshould be renovated, then Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya), reviews of which we analyze, is quite a decent place to relax. The staff cleans the rooms daily and changes the towels. It is very nice that the apartments have special beach sets: bags with towels. It is very convenient and practical.
In Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5it is customary to take a deposit for a room upon check-in. The money is then returned when people are about to leave, if the apartments are rented out in perfect order, and all services are paid.
Entertainment
The Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) offers its guests the following entertainment: bowling, billiards, tennis, massage, volleyball, jacuzzi. A variety of water attractions await tourists on the coast.
Complex Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5(the description of the hotel was given by us earlier) is located in a quiet place, on the very shore. And at the same time, it is very easy to get to the city center from it. About a fifteen minute walk is a fruit market where you can buy all sorts of sweets. Near the hotel there are cafes and eateries that serve delicious food. You can get to the center by taxi (it will cost about 30 yuan) or by bus.
There is a photo studio on site. You can pay for a photo session in it, and then you will get beautiful pictures against the backdrop of local landscapes, and not embellished with Photoshop.
What is good about Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5? Guest reviews contain many praises for the coast. Tourists annuallyrush to these parts just for the sake of the sea. In recent years, the rich deep water world of the South China Sea has attracted many divers from all over the world. There are a number of reasons for this. Visibility under water in these parts is more than twenty meters, and diving can be done all year round, thanks to the mild climate. True, sometimes weak echoes of southern storms reach the coast, and then divers give way to surfers for a couple of days.
Shopping
Having a rest in Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5, you should definitely see the main sights of Hainan Island. China has something to show its guests.
Also, tourists can do some shopping. It has already become a tradition to bring rock crystal, tea, pearls from the island. Porcelain, woodcarving, silk, Feng Shui symbols, and Buddhist souvenirs are especially popular with vacationers. Similar souvenirs are sold in many shops and shops. And for serious shopping, you can go to the capital of the island of Haikou. There, on Haijudunlu Street, there are the most prestigious shops, and in the market (on the cape) you can buy various artistic fakes. In Sanya, the best shops are located on Liberation Street, which is located in the very center.
Attractions
Not far from the city (23 kilometers), on the very shore there is a park with the beautiful name "Edge of the World". It attracts tourists with its beautiful landscapes. Blocks of bizarre shapes rise on the sandy beach. Each stone has its own name: "a stone that supportsheaven”, “a stone is a bachelor’s refuge”, “a broken heart”. "Boulder - we alth" is even depicted on the local banknote (2 yuan). And on one ten-meter stone there is even an inscription saying that it is in this place that the extreme southern point of China is located - the "Edge of the World".
No less interesting for tourists is the oceanarium, where you can get acquainted with the life of two hundred varieties of exotic inhabitants of the deep sea. Here you can see the show of crocodiles and sea lions, trained parrots. The bravest guests can feed the reptiles and take pictures with them. All kinds of birds of southern China live on the territory of the aquarium. Here you can see unique turtles that are over six hundred years old.
Eighty kilometers from the city there is an island of monkeys, which is home to more than two thousand primates. A cable car is stretched across the strait to the island. Tourists from the funicular cabins can admire the sea from a bird's eye view. On the island you can see not only animals, but also see the monkey circus.
Not far from the city (about forty kilometers) is Asia's largest Buddhism Center at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. It was opened in 1997, its area is more than fifty square kilometers. Tourists will certainly enjoy not only the ancient temple (it was restored), but also a large landscaped park.
Ethnic settlement of the Li and Miao peoples is very popular among vacationers. These natives lived here long before the Chinese. They still live in the bushestropical forests in the very center of the island, keeping their customs and life unchanged.
Near the thermal radon springs is the famous botanical garden, which contains all the tropical plants of China. Their total number exceeds a thousand copies.
Thirty kilometers from Sanya is the Butterfly Museum, which is more like a piece of rainforest, in which many different insects flutter. The sight is simply amazing.
It is simply impossible to list all the sights within the framework of the article. There are indeed an infinite number of them on the island, and many are located just near such a resort as Sanya.
Treatment
Don't forget that the island is famous for its healing. For a long time, stomach ailments, osteochondrosis, rheumatism, hypertension, skin and lung diseases have been cured here. In Sanya, vacationers can undergo a course of procedures at SanYiTang, the center of modern medicine. While relaxing at the Palm Beach Resort Spa, tourists purchase courses and undergo the necessary treatment.
Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 4 reviews
The hotel has a very good location. On the one hand, it is built away from the bustle and noise of the city, and on the other hand, it is quite easy to get to the center and the main attractions of the city from it.
The main advantage of the complex is its location on the coastline, which is very convenient for a seaside resort. The hotel is more suitable for families with children. Young people looking for endless parties and nightly entertainment may get a little bored here. Although it is impossiblesay there are no nightclubs here.
Beautiful clear sea and fine sand will make your holiday unforgettable. What’s more, you won’t be bored here. Exotic nature and attractions will not leave tourists indifferent.
Food at the hotel is quite acceptable. But the rooms, according to vacationers, are in need of repair for a long time. Although, when coming to rest in China, hardly anyone will sit in the apartment. Therefore, you can close your eyes to the atmosphere of the hotel. If we take into account the price-quality ratio, then the complex is quite consistent with it. Do not initially make excessive demands on the hotel. I would also like to note the fact that the complex has a well-groomed beautiful territory with backwaters, lagoons and pools, bridges. During your vacation, you are surrounded by a blooming garden and a sea of flowers. And not far away the sea glitters in the sun, what could be better? It has everything that makes the island a popular resort and hospital not only among the Chinese, but also among foreign tourists. Every year, the sea with sandy beaches attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world.
Instead of afterword
If you're planning a trip to China, Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) could very well be your vacation destination. However, it should be understood that this place is suitable for a calm and quiet family vacation. Do not put your hopes on seeing glamorous hotels and promenades on the island. If you are used to luxury, then you should not go here. Fans of exotic and wide sandy beaches will certainly like it here. And about the abundancesights to say the least. To see at least a small part of them, you need to spend more than one vacation. Therefore, lovers of the sea and the exotic can safely recommend a holiday on the island of Hainan. You will get a lot of impressions and learn a lot about the culture of China, which has recently become increasingly popular among tourists.
