"It's been two days since I got back, and I'm still recovering from the exhaustion of the trip. Now that I have a little energy, I'll write a review. This hotel really has mixed reviews, so it depends on what you're looking for. Personally, I don't have high demands for hotels – good environment, a decent-sized room, a pool, and a passable breakfast, just something that feels like a vacation. Plus, I booked early, and it was just over 900 a night including tax, so I really can't complain. Hotels of this caliber in Sanya would definitely cost more during the summer holidays... Aside from the travel fatigue, this trip was truly enjoyable!
Environment: No complaints. It rained for 20 minutes on the morning of our first day, and then it was glorious sunshine – super beautiful and great for photos! The first day was August 12th, and there was even a sunset glow in the evening. Although I didn't see it at the hotel, seeing it on the street while out for dinner was satisfying enough! After that, it basically rained for about 10 minutes around noon each day, and then the clouds would pass, and it would clear up.
Cleanliness: The cleaning staff were diligent and it was clean. However, the room was really too humid; it felt damp every day... That was a downside.
Service: All the staff were excellent. I was with my parents and child, and they took great care of us. I didn't encounter any discrimination against Chinese people or anything like that. We even got a free room upgrade.
Facilities: The hotel is located at the southernmost tip, and there's not much to explore around. There's only one 7-Eleven, another supermarket, and a few restaurants. It's not as lively as the city center, but getting around by taxi was convenient. Since I didn't want the hassle of changing hotels, I stayed here the whole time, treating it as a proper vacation. Young people who like a lively atmosphere might want to stay in the city for a few days to have more places to explore in the evenings.
Dining: I thought the breakfast was quite good. The variety wasn't extensive, but it was decent. The rice noodles with curry soup were incredibly delicious. If you don't want to venture far, I recommend Siam Smile, right opposite the hotel's restaurant. The food was really good, confirming the reliability of recommendations on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform for lifestyle content) haha. Don't order their juice though; it's not freshly squeezed... We mostly had lunch there. There's another place next door, but my parents said the food was just so-so, and I didn't try it. We also went to Red Chair in the evening, which was also tasty. The closest seafood market to this hotel is called Rawai Seafood Market, about a 20-minute taxi ride away. You need to bargain for seafood, but it's delicious and not expensive... We went twice! We also bought seafood from the place recommended on Xiaohongshu – the guys along that street all spoke Chinese 😂.
Phuket is great; I'll definitely come back if I get the chance again~~"
