HANATOALICE Sea View Hotel Sanya (Houhai Village Branch)

This is really a lovely room: cosy, with a great view, large balcony with comfortable chairs. Bathroom is perhaps a bit more simple than the rest of the room, but still acceptable. In any case, it's the relaxing vibe that counts most! As for the surroundings, it rather depends on what you're looking for. Different tourists like very different things after all. As for me, I don't care much about surfing or swimming in the sea and I absolutely hate loud noise. I was mainly looking for a quiet relaxing place with beautiful scenery around me, then just stroll around and sit down with a drink and a book to enjoy peace and quiet. I am well aware though that most tourists visiting Hainan have quite different preferences, so I wasn't expecting a perfect match. Actually, during daytime I really loved this place! However, in the evening it turned into a bit more of a party scene with the bar next door playing quite loud music. It's the way it is and that's of course not something the friendly hotel owners can control. I still enjoyed my stay and would definitely consider staying here again if the price for a room with private balcony is right! However, I would say that in my opinion 1 or 2 nights is probably enough, because after that the evening noise would start to work on my nerves;-)
