Good value, great hot pools and cold swimming pools, location, dinner buffet, breakfast buffet. Well furnished rooms, good linens and towels. Pleasant staff - can usually find someone who speaks a little bit of English, and at least one quite well - we (eventually) had all our few basic requests fulfilled such as charging dinner to the room, fixing the room safe, getting the wifi code, luggage pick up from our room and getting a taxi at a requested time to the train station. 

The cheaper 'Superior' rooms are on islands quite far from lobby, food and main pools. Our room 6223 was on Kipool Island a 5 minute walk away with steep ramps and stairs, longer if you have little kids, are older or have mobility issues.  The hallway floors have serious water stains. The room smelled a bit damp. Rock hard beds - I swear they're just quasi box springs with no mattress. Lacking some cleanliness (i.e.: filthy in room drinking glasses) but overall was good. Bathroom is okay size with a nice sink and good sized tub but the shower stall is pretty basic with a slight bad smell and some drainage issues. Water pressure is good with both hot and cold water. Mini-fridge, room safe, kettle, tea, hairdryer, bath robes, toiletries. Really appreciated the very good in room wifi. 

The Kipool Island rooms also share a nice large swimming pool and a very small hot tub but not as nice as the main pools and these pools were closed for maintenance both days of our stay.

The main pools are excellent and the hot spring water is fabulous on your skin - no chlorine and doesn't dry you out. It's pretty clean with a few issues that didn't gross me out - some algae, etc.  We saw them drain the hot water pools each of the two days of our stay but I wouldn't say they were 'cleaned' but it was still good to see the water being changed. The hot pools re-opened by 1pm and were topped up full by about 3pm. 

I would stay here again and I would recommend this hotel to you but I would just spend a bit more money for the larger Deluxe rooms to be in the main part of the hotel and closer to the main hot pools.

Great pools; excellent dinner buffet

The hotel is part of a very nice development.  Cheaper rooms may be located on a separate island which is a walk from the main hot pool and swimming pool (and other facilities).  There are shuttles so no need to walk (which is pleasant enough if not raining).  Rooms are reasonable.  Annex rooms have balcony (screened doors) and table but no chairs.  The annex has its own pool which is very nice but only a small hot pool. Mattresses are very firm, to say the least.  Hotel isn't the best maintained by passable for the price.

Ground full of coconut trees so watch your head!

Breakfast buffet is good.  Ample quantity and decent quality.  Star is the dinner buffet which is great for quality and quantity for a bargain net of CNY 108.

Just be aware that the hot pool is drained for cleaning every morning and doesn't reopen until ~1300.  Change room at the palestra is a bit grungy.  Doesn't seem to be too far into town but we stayed n for all 2 day of our stay.

No reason not to stay here

Very nice resort

Simply: $275 for a superior room is a rip off. But in Boao for the Asia Forum, you have little accommodation choices.

Likes:  Big Rooms, huge lobby,  See through bathroom, smiling staff, near town, ATM at the lobby, game room. Huge pool. Free wifi, intermittent. “Bob” the assistant manager was a delight and very very helpful. Beatiful landscape. Town is right outside the property (about a 10 minute walk from the lobby - this is a huge property). Decent gym

Dislikes: Overpriced. Bland tasting food. Bed hard. Language barrier.  For a global convention hotel, it should train its staff to speak basic english.  The breakfast buffet is not good, but you don't have a choice.

I will probably not stay here again at this price.

Quiet hotel with sprawling grounds; not much value; so so food

It’s hard to review this hotel as we came at a very odd time. It was a quiet time anyway due to the passing of the recent national holiday, then a typhoon was predicted to hit the island a few days before, causing most people to cancel their trips (the typhoon ended up missing completely, of course…) so the hotel was completely deserted – at times it seemed like we were the only guests. We were usually the only ones in the large restaurant, with about 10 staff all fluttering around us. The hotel obviously took this occasion to do all the maintenance work – the hot spring pools were empty and being cleaned or repaired, one of the restaurants was being gutted and re-fitted, and many things on the menu were “sold out”, which was kind of funny as we weren’t sure which mystery guests had been buying these “sold out” items! There was no furniture or seats on any of the nice balconies and nothing to sit on by the pools…we guessed they had all been taken away when the typhoon alert was issued. Lots of the paving was being dug up and repaired and the whole place had a half-finished feel to it. It was like walking around a ghost town most of the time and altogether a strange experience. On the plus side, we got a great price for the room!
Having said all that….the room was immaculate, spacious, and worthy of the hotel’s five star rating. The food was excellent – a good selection of international dishes that all tasted fresh and delicious. The staff was all very helpful, seemed happy in their work, and all spoke at least basic English. The TV selection featured HBO and BBC World News, which was a bonus for us English speakers.
Downsides: Internet access was pretty expensive, no water/ice/vending in our building (which was situated a few minute’s walk from the main building) and the hallways were very strange – dim, pokey and very scruffy, totally the opposite of the lovely rooms they harbored.
In conclusion; it is hard to judge this hotel from our stay. We clearly didn’t see the place anything close to its best. Obviously they have to do maintenance work some time, and that was the perfect time to do it – so we don’t hold that against them at all. With a few more guests kicking around, and everything up and running, the hotel would have been far more enjoyable. Would it be “5 Star” by US or European standards? Probably not. However the service and dining certainly were exceptional. I would definitely recommend this hotel – just be aware that it might be very rough around the edges if you get a good price “out of season”.

Good hotel at a bad time

This hotel is definitely nowhere near 5-Star standard. Stayed here for 1 night in Dec-12 and was left rather disappointed. Room-wise it was spacious but it has the hardest bed I have ever slept on. The bed reminded me of Sea Horse brand but much worse than that. Was wondering if the staff had missed out placing an extra mattress as it felt like I was sleeping on the floor instead. To top it off, I got a backache the next morning from sleeping on the "bed" that was provided. 

For a so-called "5-Star hotel", they provided those 3-in-1 kind of soap. It made me wonder if I was actually in the correct hotel. Breakfast provided was terrible too. Lousy service, lousy food. There was no one to greet you at the entrance and show you your table. It was like anyone can come and have breakfast at this hotel. Foodwise, the spread was pathetic, catered mainly for domestic travellers such as fried noodles, steamed buns, congee, pickled vegetables, etc. I remember vividly one particular dish served during breakfast, hot dogs, which had an extremely weird texture like some fake food made out of plastic. It was totally not for human consumption.

Overall, this hotel is forgettable and it is definitely not worth the effort to travel such a long distance from Haikou to Boao to this hotel.
