In our article we want to talk about Spa Sanya, which is located on the territory best resort Celestial Empire. Hainan Island is considered the best Chinese health resort; it is also called East 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 Far East and Siberians have long been healing here, treating ailments, and at the same time basking in the warm rays of the sun and in clear sea water.
Rooms
Hotel Palm Beach Resort Spa Sanya is a luxury four-star complex located in the city center. The hotel's room capacity is represented by a wide variety of apartments of different categories:
All Spa numbers(Sanya) have a balcony, telephone, safe, coffee and tea making facilities, modern TV, wireless Internet. Some apartments have a minibar. Bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers, slippers, and bathrobes. The hotel offers room service. The reception serves guests 24 hours a day.
Guest reviews about the rooms
I would like to note that (Sanya) 5* (we will provide guest reviews later in the article) previously actually had the status of a five-star complex, apparently, there were reasons for this. Currently the hotel has the fourth category. According to hotel guests, the rooms require renovation and updated furniture. Unfortunately, not everyone is satisfied with the quality of work and appearance plumbers. Very often there are cases when tourists encounter breakdowns immediately after checking in, so they ask to be moved to better apartments. The administration readily agrees, but finding a room in the best condition is very difficult. Our compatriots, as a rule, are accommodated in small three-story houses called bungalows. The main multi-story building is occupied by Chinese vacationers themselves.
This is not to say that the rooms are completely bad, but they require cosmetic repairs. But regarding the plumbing, hotel guests unanimously express negative reviews.
For some reason, most of the rooms in the complex are equipped with single beds, so rooms with double furniture are quite difficult to find. You can solve this problem yourself by moving the beds together, if the situation allows it.
Location of the complex and its territory
Palm Hotel Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) has a good location. The complex's beach is just a three-minute walk away. Distance from international airport Sania Phoenix - no more than ten kilometers. And here's to 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, and greenery in the courtyard of the complex. The highlight of the complex is the charming ponds with real goldfish. The backwaters are not very clean, but they create a special atmosphere.
Hotel infrastructure
Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 4* has two swimming pools on site. One of them is open to guests until late at night, and there is a bar next to it. When it gets dark, people move from the beach to sun loungers near the pond and continue their vacation there. Swimming in the pool under the light of lanterns is incredibly romantic. A wonderful tree grows above the water, whose flowers constantly fall into the pool. Swimming among such beauty is something amazing.
In addition, the complex has tennis courts, a massage parlor, 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 fee. There are several shops on the territory of the complex where, if necessary, you can purchase everything you need for your vacation. In addition, around the hotel there are many shops with souvenirs and local cafes where you can have a delicious dinner if you get tired of eating in the complex.
Active tourists can always do something on the coast aquatic species sports, try new hobbies. There are all conditions for this.
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 Palm (Sanya) area. Currently it is not operational, and from a distance it resembles a park. However, not all vacationers like such a neighborhood. After all, people come to relax and escape from their problems.
Sea beach
Palm Beach (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 it is not that difficult. The hotel beach is sandy, there are never waves on the sea. Umbrellas and sunbeds on the coast are completely free.
Speaking about the Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya), reviews of which, by the way, are quite contradictory, it is worth noting 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 many bites appear on the bodies of tourists. Unfortunately, no local creams have any effect on midges; it is impossible to get rid of them. Apparently, there are periods when insects appear and then disappear somewhere. Otherwise, the coast is very clean and beautiful. The water is warm and clear.
There are always many fishermen on the shore waiting for their catch. While swimming in the sea, you can see schools of shrimp, small fish, and squid. There are also small jellyfish in the water, but they are not scary because they do not sting at all.
Meals at the hotel
I would like to pay special attention to nutrition. When purchasing a tour to Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya Bay), you only purchase breakfast. As for dinner and lunch, they can also be ordered at the hotel. You can also eat well and inexpensively 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 eat it. Due to the fact that the resort is located near the sea, all establishments prepare a lot of seafood dishes. This is definitely worth taking advantage of. Tourists are advised to be more careful when choosing dishes, since the Chinese cook all sorts of sea creatures that we are not used to eating. Among the variety of local food, you can easily choose something to your taste.
Breakfast at the hotel includes European, Chinese and seafood dishes. If you don't like local food, then you can choose more acceptable options for yourself. Some tourists believe that the morning meal is very monotonous, others emphasize that they are quite satisfied with the food. Apparently, individual preferences come into play.
The 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 own traditional dishes, but also European, 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 respond very sensitively to smiles and kind attitude. It is for this reason that they treat better those guests who do not show aggression. This point is worth considering. Unfortunately, a place like the Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya, China) has staff who only speak Chinese. But this is not a problem with the hotel, but rather with local customs. In China it is not customary to use it at all English language. However, our compatriots do not have problems communicating, since among the complex’s staff there are people who perfectly understand the Russian language.
By the way, in China quite a lot of local residents speak and understand our language.
Check-in to the hotel is quick. Overall the service is very good. Apart from the fact that the rooms should have been renovated a long time ago, the Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya), about which we are reviewing reviews, is quite a decent place to relax. The staff cleans the rooms daily and changes towels. It’s very nice that the apartments have special beach sets: bags with towels. It is very convenient and practical.
At Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5* it is customary to take a deposit for the 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 have been paid for.
Entertainment
The Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) hotel offers its guests the following entertainment: bowling, billiards, tennis, massage, volleyball, jacuzzi. A variety of water attractions await tourists on the coast.
The Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5* complex (the hotel description was given by us earlier) is located in quiet place, right on the shore. And at the same time, it is very easy to get to the city center. About a fifteen minute walk away there is a fruit market where you can buy all kinds of sweets. Near the hotel there are cafes and eateries that serve delicious food. You can get to the center by taxi (it costs about 30 yuan) or by bus.
There is a photo studio on site. Here you can pay for a photo session, and then you will get beautiful pictures against the backdrop of local landscapes, and not embellished with Photoshop.
What is good about the Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5* hotel? Guest reviews contain a lot of praise for the coast. Tourists flock to these regions every year just for the sea. In recent years, the rich deep-sea world of the South China Sea has attracted many divers from all over the world. There are a number of reasons for this. Visibility underwater in these parts is more than twenty meters, and diving can be done all year round, thanks to the mild climate. True, sometimes faint echoes of southern storms reach the coast, and then divers cede the sea to surfers for a couple of days.
Shopping
While relaxing at Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 5*, you definitely need to see the main attractions of Hainan Island. The Celestial Empire has something to show its guests.
In addition, tourists can do some shopping. It has already become a tradition to bring rock crystal, tea, and pearls from the island. Porcelain, wood carvings, silk, Feng Shui symbols, and Buddhist souvenirs are especially popular among vacationers. Such souvenirs are sold in many shops and stores. And for serious shopping, you can go to the capital of the island, Haikou. There, on Haixudonglu Street, there are the most prestigious shops, and in the market (on the cape) you can buy various art fakes. In Sanya, the best shops are located on Osvobozhdeniye 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. Boulders of bizarre shapes rise on the sandy beach. Each stone has its own name: “the stone that supports the heavens”, “the stone is the bachelor’s refuge”, “the broken heart”. "Boulder - wealth" 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 southernmost point of China is located - “The End 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 depths of the sea. Here you can see a crocodile show and sea lions, trained parrots. The bravest guests can feed the reptiles and take pictures with them. All species of birds of southern China live on the territory of the aquarium. Here you can see unique turtles that are more than six hundred years old.
Eighty kilometers from the city there is a monkey island where more than two thousand primates live. Stretched across the strait to the island cable car. Tourists from the cable car cabins can admire the sea from a bird's eye view. On the island you can see not only animals, but also a monkey circus.
Not far from the city (about forty kilometers) there is the largest Buddhism Center in Asia at the foot of Mount Nanshan. It was opened in 1997, its area is more than fifty square kilometers. Tourists will certainly enjoy not only ancient temple(it has been restored), but also a large landscaped park.
The ethnic settlement of the Li and Miao peoples is very popular among vacationers. These aborigines lived here long before the Chinese. They still live in the thickets of tropical forests in the very center of the island, keeping their foundations and way of life unchanged.
Near the thermal radon springs there is a famous Botanical Garden, which contains all the tropical plants of China. Their total number exceeds a thousand copies.
Thirty kilometers from Sanya there is a butterfly museum, which looks more like a piece tropical forest, in which many different insects flutter. The spectacle is simply amazing.
It is simply impossible to list all the attractions within the framework of the article. There really are an endless number of them on the island, and many are located close to a resort like Sanya.
Treatment
Do not forget that the island is famous for its treatment. For a long time, stomach ailments, osteochondrosis, rheumatism, hypertension, skin and pulmonary diseases have been healed here. In Sanya, vacationers can undergo a course of procedures at SanYiTang, a center for modern medicine. While relaxing at the Resort Spa, tourists purchase course packages and undergo the necessary treatment.
Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) 4*: reviews
The hotel has a very a good place location. On the one hand, it is built away from the bustle and noise of the city, and on the other hand, it is easy enough to get to the center and the main attractions of the city.
The main advantage of the complex is its location on 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 nightlife may get a little bored here. Although this is not to say that there are no nightclubs here.
The beautiful clean sea and fine sand will make your vacation unforgettable. Moreover, you won’t be bored here. The exotic nature and attractions will not leave tourists indifferent.
The food at the hotel is quite acceptable. But the rooms, according to vacationers, have long been in need of renovation. Although, when coming to China on vacation, it is unlikely that anyone will stay in an apartment. Therefore, you can close your eyes to the hotel’s environment. If we take into account the price-quality ratio, the complex fully corresponds to it. You should not initially place excessive demands on the hotel. I would also like to note the fact that the complex has a well-groomed beautiful area with creeks, lagoons and pools, bridges. During your vacation, you will be surrounded by a blooming garden and a sea of flowers. And not far away the sea sparkles 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 foreign tourists. Every year, sea open spaces with sandy beaches attract thousands of vacationers from all over the world.
Instead of an afterword
If you're planning a trip to China, Palm Beach Resort Spa (Sanya) could be your holiday destination. However, it should be understood that this place is suitable for a calm and quiet family vacation. Don't expect to see glamorous hotels and promenades on the island. If you are used to luxury, then you should not come here. Lovers of the exotic and wide sandy beaches will certainly enjoy this place. And there is no need to talk about the abundance of attractions. To see even a small part of them, you will need to spend more than one vacation. Therefore, lovers of the sea and exotic things 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 Lately is becoming increasingly popular among tourists.
Palm Beach Resort & Spa Sanya 5* is located in the southernmost part of Hainan Island, near the center of Sanya. Tropical gardens, landscape design and a large beautiful area are the main advantages here. The hotel is suitable for any type of vacationer, especially for families with children.
Here you can ride a water slide, feed fish, ducks and swans in special ponds, plunge into the tropical world of greenery and sunbathe on the sandy shore of the South China Sea.

Most of the windows offer beautiful views: of the garden, of the sea, of artificial ponds.

Staff
Palm Beach Resort Spa Sanya has a huge territory that needs to be monitored daily. In the photo and video reviews of the complex you can see how carefully the staff approaches their work. Workers ensure cleanliness and order: they mow lawns, water flowers, and grow palm trees for further landscaping of the area.
The hotel staff meets high standards and copes well with the large flow of tourists. Fast placement, corresponds to the level of five stars.
Guests are greeted at the reception, if possible checked in earlier than the scheduled time, and transported to their rooms in special electric cars.
The level of proficiency in foreign languages in China is minimal, so they mostly speak only Chinese, some know a little English.

There is a paid service for calling a nanny for a child.

Beach
1 of 2
The beach is located two roads from the main building, but don't be afraid of it. The roads are not busy, there are few cars on them, and the distance to the sea does not exceed 100 m.
In general, the entire territory of the hotel can be divided into two parts. The first is the main building and several villas, next to which there is a Garra-rufa fish pool. In the second part, which is located closer to the beach, there are the remaining villas and another swimming pool. The travel time to the shore will depend on where you live, but in any case it will not take more than 5 minutes.
Own sand beach washed by the warm South China Sea. The entrance is gentle, which is very convenient for tourists with children.
There are free sun loungers and umbrellas, and rental of water attractions.

The hotel requires renovation of the rooms. We lived on the first floor and water was constantly dripping somewhere under the floor and preventing us from sleeping. Very hard mattresses on the beds (unaccustomed to neck and back pain) Cleaning was good and regular. There seems to be everything for breakfast and you won’t leave hungry, but there is always a line for eggs, for example, the food is cold, the coffee is also cold and weak, the glasses and cups are plastic, the tables are cleared slowly and there are constantly crumbs on the tablecloths. We took dinner at the hotel once, because... it is expensive. We mostly went to Chinese restaurants for dinner. There is a menu in Russian, prices are reasonable, tasty, large portions. I liked the seafood restaurant DOLPHIN SEAFOOD, where a large portion of shrimp costs 39 yuan, a huge bowl of soup for 4-5 people costs 18 yuan. It is located on the first street from the sea, likeWhen you leave the hotel, go left for 5-10 minutes. We used the maps.me application to search for restaurants with good rating and for independent walks to the city by bus. The beach is really good, you can walk in one direction or the other, the entrance to the sea is smooth, the sand is fine and clean, but as everyone writes, the midge that bites spoils the impression. Why can’t the beach be treated like they do in Dadonghai Bay? I arrived covered in blisters and they still itch unbearably. The nature at the hotel is very beautiful and there is also a huge palm grove on the embankment. This hotel is not for spoiled tourists. The guides work all day at the reception and speak Russian well. Dinner with the guides and at the entrance to the restaurant now costs the same - 100 yuan per person. It takes 25-30 minutes to walk to the supermarket for locals. We went several times, bought cheaper alcohol, instant noodles in buckets for 4-5 yuan, their food prices are not cheap. We bought fruit on the beach (you have to bargain)…

The Palm Beach Hotel is good value for money for China. Gentlemen, tourists, please do not compare fours in different countries, for China this is an excellent four. Pros: 1. the hotel is close to the airport, after a 9-hour flight, night arrival, waiting for slow compatriots near the tour operator’s bus, the news that the Palm Beach hotel will be first on the list on the route is great news, a balm for the soul! 2. The hotel has a gorgeous area. With the Chinese love for scope and scale, it is surprising that there are still such low-rise hotels with bungalow areas. Ideal for those who prefer bungalow hotels to anthill skyscrapers. The bungalow area of the hotel is just a continuous location for photographs, our tourists are constantly there taking pictures (ponds, fish, bridges, illuminated trees). Yes, the hotel is divided into two areas, the most budget rooms are located in the bungalow area. Do you want a superior room? This means you will live in a building. 3. The hotel is across the road from the beach, you can relax near the pool, and then walk across the road in a swimsuit to the sea. The road is calm, this is generally very atypical Asia (for those who are horrified by the roads of the resorts of Vietnam or Thailand). 4. The territory is very clean, in general Hainan is simply licked, Asia and such cleanliness. Amazing and another plus for the Chinese! 5. There is a store on site where you can buy all sorts of simple food, the prices are not too different from prices in supermarkets, and fruit is even cheaper. 5. The rooms have a free safe, refrigerator, kettle, bathrobe, slippers, no personal cosmetics, gel from a dispenser, but toothpaste and toothbrushes are replenished daily. 6. Tipping is not welcome. There was no theft, they calmly left the equipment in sight, everything was safe. 7. The hotel has its own medical center, I went for a manual massage with Sasha, thank you, it really became easier. Cons: 1. Cleaning - yes, the floors are not washed, but towels are changed, linen is changed upon request. Tolerable. For those who like sterility it will be a minus. 2. Breakfasts are quite monotonous, but no one left hungry or fainted. Our people are queuing for scrambled eggs... We really liked the hot noodles, which can be doused with broth and added spicy seasonings. Dinners (we went for a fee once) were so-so, there was seafood, but everything was kind of cold. I don't see the point in dinners. You can take a free shuttle to the restaurant and, for not much more, choose whatever your heart desires from the menu. Although we talked to tourists, many liked the dinners, all markers have different tastes and colors, it’s worth going once to understand whether it’s yours or not. 3. Organizing cleaning in the restaurant at breakfast. Well, they don't have time. Compatriots with the expression "Ewwww!" walk around the restaurant looking for a table without dirty dishes. There are many special tables for cleaning dishes right there. Question: does your pride not allow you to clear away the dishes for someone else and sit at the table you like? Or religion? Keep it simple. 4. There are quite a few umbrellas around the pool. Either fry on the sunny side without an umbrella, or go to the side where there are umbrellas, but there the sun quickly goes away and you are already constantly in the shade. I recommend the hotel if you are not looking for deluxe and are comfortable with small shortcomings for adequate tour money.…

For two weeks, in the second half of November, we vacationed in Hainan at the Palm Beach Resort & Spa 4*. The tour was purchased from the tour operator Tez Tour. The flight there and back is strictly on schedule. True, the time of arrival on the island was not very good; after going through all the formalities at the airport, we arrived at the hotel at 4 o’clock in the morning. The flight from Samara was 8 hours. 20 minutes. and we sat for another 8 hours waiting for check-in, and the Chinese categorically refuse to check in before the allotted time, either for money or for gifts. I don’t say this as a reproach, I know the international rules, but it’s very difficult to wait so long after a sleepless night. As a result, when we checked in, we slept until the evening, so the first day can’t be considered a day of rest. Check-in: Alenka no longer receives gifts in the form of chocolates surprise, they put a large chocolate bar in their passports and asked the guide to give them a room in a quiet building and preferably on the 2nd floor. As a result, they gave us a second floor, but in a building, across the road from the main building, overlooking the road, number 6219. At night you can hear the noise of cars. We went to ask the guide to change the room, but we were told to wait another two hours or come back tomorrow. We decided to leave the exchange for another day. The next day, the guide Misha kept his promise and we were offered two rooms to choose from. In the end, we stayed in our building, room 6207, but the view from the room was onto a courtyard with ponds, and there was almost no noise from cars. And the second room offered was in a building near another road, through which you go to the sea, where the traffic is even busier. Rooms: The condition of the rooms is very mediocre, everything is old and needs renovation for a long time. Of course, the hotel does not correspond to 4* at all. The bathroom was especially impressive; the floor was tiled like a public toilet. In Thailand, 3* hotels are much better. But, we must pay tribute, the bed linen and towels are very white and clean, although sometimes there were towels with holes. The room had bathrobes, beach flip-flops, 2 bottles were supplied daily. water, replenished the range of soap and soap accessories. But we didn’t come to sit in the room, so we didn’t pay much attention to it. Food: We only took breakfast, and, in our opinion, for a 4* hotel it was too meager, there was not meat every day, and if there was, it was in the form of finely chopped bones with skin, we didn’t even take it. In two weeks, small pieces of pulp could only be found 3 times. Vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers were also not available every day. I also didn’t like that the first courses were always lukewarm, because... the plates already contained dumplings or noodles, when you take the first one, broth is poured from the pan, in the end everything turns out cold, but we like to eat the first one hot. In a word, we were not satisfied with the food. This is probably the first time in all our trips that we were not very happy with the food. But nutrition was never the main thing for us, so we weren’t particularly upset, we still ate our fill and ate only fruit for lunch. We regretted not taking dinners, everyone praised them. Apparently all the meat was there, but for breakfast there were only bones. We thought that in China, just like in Thailand, there is no point in taking dinner at all, because... There are a lot of places to eat there. But that turned out not to be the case here. We tried to eat at the Marina cafe, but we didn’t like it. Territory: Here it is, just 5+, it’s just a heavenly place, for such a territory the hotel can be forgiven for all its shortcomings. So much greenery, flowers, palm trees, just super! And what ponds with fish, bridges, waterfalls! Gorgeous swimming pool. We really, really enjoyed it. Therefore, you can definitely go to this hotel just for its beautiful grounds. One day, while walking, we entered the territory of the Ocean Sonic Resort 5* hotel. We brought tourists there twice during excursions, and we liked the hotel. So we decided to take a look, but they have a much smaller area, everything is concentrated around the pool, and there are 3 large buildings nearby. As a result, we came to the conclusion that the territory of our hotel is much better. Excursions: We bought two excursions from our tour operator through hotel guides. We took a paid survey because... After all the centers, you are taken to the Peking Duck restaurant for lunch, and then you swim for 1 hour and 10 minutes on a yacht. There are no more options for boat trips, only fishing, but very expensive. We sailed past Phoenix Island, a Chinese-style yacht, very beautiful. We were satisfied. The second excursion was to Yanoda Park. We didn’t take it from the locals, because we weren’t sure that we would figure out all the labyrinths of the tropical forest there, the distances are long and you can get confused. But the locals only offer a transfer, and the difference in price was very small, we paid 350 yuan. We independently went to Nanshan, the “Deer Turned its Head” park, the “Edge of the World” park and the Linchun Ling park. Maps.me can help you navigate the area well. Guides Misha, Nastya, Diana are at the hotel every day from morning to evening. If requested, they will write the names of the stops in Chinese; when you enter the bus, you show it to the driver and he will tell you where to get off. Conclusion: We were 100% satisfied with our vacation, our expectations were worse. Apart from some shortcomings, I liked everything. A very green and clean island, a beautiful sea, the weather was wonderful, it’s not for nothing that November is considered velvet season, the humidity is low, so it was very comfortable. We went on excursions for a day, a day beach holiday, and from 12 to 15 o'clock. We explored the surrounding area on foot, found two more parks near the hotel, and visited them too. So, we will be happy to return to Hainan again, perhaps to the same hotel. We can confidently recommend both Hainan and the hotel for a holiday.…
