🏨Hotel Overview
Location and Environment
The hotel enjoys a prime location with pleasant surroundings. The lobby is located on the 14th floor, which is the top floor, and exudes an artistic ambiance. The 13th floor houses the breakfast area, bar area, and outdoor swimming pool area, making it a popular spot for taking photos. However, these areas are open to the public and can be accessed without a card, resulting in a mixed crowd.
🏘️Room Type/Layout
We booked a full ocean-view room, which offered an open view of the sea, providing a very pleasant experience. The hotel upgraded the deluxe ocean-view room to a 180-degree ocean-view room. The interior layout of the room is reasonable and aesthetically pleasing. It features a separate walk-in closet, with the toilet and bathroom located on either side of the room, equipped with a large bathtub and a large balcony. The TV can be pulled out and rotated, allowing you to watch it while taking a bath. The double bathtub is very comfortable to use. However, the view from the ocean-view rooms may vary depending on the room, so there is an element of luck involved.
🛌Amenities/Facilities
1. Room Amenities: The welcome fruit was thoughtfully prepared, and the bedding was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep.
2. Public Facilities: The infinity pool offers stunning views, and it is perfect for taking photos in a swimsuit when there are fewer people in the morning. The sofa on the 13th floor is decorated with vacation-themed colors, and it feels great to take photos with a coconut. Following the direction of the sea, you can walk to the main lawn and the beach. The tables and tableware at the Yujia Restaurant also have a vacation style, making it great for taking photos. However, the public area is small, and it is more inclined towards a delicate, photo-worthy style than natural scenery. For those who are looking for a relaxed and natural vacation experience, there may be a sense of disappointment. Moreover, the public areas are open to the public, so privacy is lacking. A friend felt unwell after swimming. There is a construction site near the hotel entrance, and the waves on the beach are large. The supporting facilities are not sufficient to support a fulfilling two-day, one-night vacation experience.
🧹Soundproofing/Hygiene
The soundproofing is good, and the room is basically free from external disturbances. The hygiene is also good, with the rooms being clean and tidy, and the public areas being kept relatively clean.
💗Other Tips
1. It is recommended to wear black or white clothes for photos, which will look more sophisticated in the infinity pool and other ocean-view areas. It is better to take photos at the infinity pool in the morning when there are fewer people.
2. If you want to participate in hotel activities, be sure to understand the prices and content in advance to avoid misunderstandings.
3. There may be some unique shops and delicacies around the hotel, which you can explore to enrich your vacation experience.
Service Experience
The hotel offers butler service, but its actual effect is not very obvious, and the service is difficult to reach the five-star standard. Checking in and other basic services are relatively smooth, but there is room for improvement in communication and detailed services, such as misinformation about New Year's Eve activities.
Dining Experience
The Zao Po Vinegar Hot Pot at the Yujia Restaurant is worth a try. The salted egg yolk chicken wings and stir-fried seasonal vegetables at the Dongchu Thai Restaurant are delicious, and the pineapple rice with yellow lantern chili sauce has a unique flavor. The hotel breakfast is of good quality and can be ordered à la carte for free, but there are no particularly outstanding items.
Rosewood Sanya is an excellent choice for taking photos. The room facilities and some public areas offer stunning views, making it suitable for couples and sophisticated travelers. However, there are shortcomings in terms of service, public area management, and vacation facilities. If you value the environment and taking photos more, and can accept the service shortcomings to some extent, then Rosewood Sanya is still worth a visit.
