Hainan's secluded hotel - Shenyu Island Jade Hotel

I came in mid-December. 📍 The Baoting Shenyu Island Resort Hotel is located in the Shenyu Island Tourist Resort Area of Maozhen Reservoir, Xiangshui Town. 🚘 Transportation: After landing at Sanya Phoenix Airport, it takes less than 2 hours to drive there. 🏨 Hardware: The hotel's exterior features the traditional boat-shaped roofs of the Li ethnic group. The interior of the rooms is simple but not simplistic. The open-plan bathroom has a modern large round bathtub right at the entrance, which is a must for a bath at night. The rooms are furnished with African Padauk furniture. The air is also filled with the subtle fragrance of essential oil aromatherapy. Slide open the balcony door, and you are greeted by a vast expanse of pristine forest, a natural oxygen bar as they say. Room privacy is assured, with very good spacing between adjacent rooms. I had a bold idea that at the break of dawn, one could brush their teeth naked on the balcony, merging with nature and absorbing the essence of the universe, but in the end, I did not follow through. 🥢 Dining: Although the hotel only has 65 rooms, the accompanying restaurant is not to be underestimated. Sleep in and have a buffet breakfast on the first floor. The breakfast room is large, and there is definitely no waiting for the number of rooms. I recommend ordering a bowl of noodles, with many toppings to choose from, all of which taste great. During the two days I was there, the hot dishes included pork neck, stir-fried shrimp, and mussels, which is definitely a pleasant surprise for breakfast, so it's absolutely fine to treat it as brunch if you wake up late. In addition, there are options like a Chinese restaurant, booking a whole roasted lamb to the barbecue area, and iron pot stewed big fish, so you can eat different dishes even if you stay for two or three days on vacation. 💃🏻 Activities: Shenyu Island Jade Hotel, a hotel that is an island. Due to the rich natural resources, there are also many activities on the island. For a more relaxed experience, take a light hike along the trails in the mountains, and hotel guests can take the ferry between docks for free. If you are in a group with good physical fitness, you can also book a coach for a fee and try some more challenging stream trekking (provide shoe size when booking, and purchase holey shoes for 20 yuan a pair). Additionally, you can book a session with a Weibo-famous tarot card teacher at Shenyu Academy for tarot card and meditation classes. 👍🏻 In conclusion, whether it's for a family vacation, a couple's getaway, or a company's boutique team-building, I highly recommend this hotel.
