I've been there for 3 nights last year. Almost everything there was excellent except the inconvenient trafic. that's the reason I just give the 4 stars for the location. Yes, actually the resort faces to the beach, but if We wanted to have a taste of the local seafood, we have to take a taxi which took 30mins to the city center. However, the resort is surrounded by thoundsands of tropical foliages. It has a pretty nice garden view. I tried the garden view suite and next time i will try its suite which you can access to the swimming pool directly. :D

i realize what is
" the hardest time of your trip is the time when you get onto the plane and back home"

This day marked the end of my summer vacation in 2007~

Let's look forward to the one in 2008! =]

Stayed in the hotel for whole day.
Lying on the settee , taking nap on the beach
I could really fell free,easy and comfortable.

Sometimes i really wonder why i should be/have to be in a hurry in my life.
I am still young and why can't i forget all the worries and just relax.

ya, i treasure all the time i spend in this short trip~

i'm afraid that in the future i 'll not have this kind of happiness when facing the reality =.=

Just some sights, it's worth a visit~

Kempinski Hotel Sanya made me wonder~
It's new and glamorous.
The rooms are really big xD

ya..i 've tried the "slow step of sea floor"
the pressure made my ears atingle!
yet the views undr the sea is nice~

We ride on banana boat too
We've got certain experience and know what to do if the boat heel
that's why this time i didn't fall into the sea~

but sometimes
i do think that the funniest moment of riding on banana boat,
is the time when you fall into the sea =P

   Praia em Dezembro? Vale a pena!!! Dia 25 apanhámos um avião para Hainan, uma ilha tropical no sul da China. Ficámos lá 4 noites. Fizémos praia, fomos visitar duas minorias étnicas (Li e Miao), fiz mergulho... Foi altamente!

Our last 6 days from our trip travelling round China, we spend it on Hainan Island. For people like us who also want to enjoy the sun & chill out on the beach, we we're very looking forward to these days before flying back to The Netherlands where stress was waiting for us. Once arrived it didn't look like if the sun was coming out, instead it looked like if heaven was going to come down on us. Watching the news it seemed we we're in the middle of a huge typhoon which was on its way to Vietnam, just passing the south coast of Hainan Island. Aaahh, well - we will find the sun somewhere else.

After we came home we saw on the news that this particular typhoon caused a lot of damage in Vietnam & also parts of Hainan Island. It seemed that around our travel dates another typhoon had passed Shanghai, not a very good time to travel really......

i just came from Sanya city, which is a beautiful ocean city i never see the white sands before, and the sun is drawn with the pure blue. indeed the scene is much rare in china what's more i feel it's very cheap ,compare with Hawaii or other same climate city. above all is just my own opinion thank you for your share best regards Jane

Woke up really early today, but probably in California its around 1 in the afternoon. Anyways, woke up around 5 AM and took a long walk around the top of the ship. You know how there's always a track around every ship? Yea... took a walk up there. Around 7 AM, it was time for breakfast, and so we went to this Chinese resturaunt on the lower deck. Man o man was it a big ripoff. $3 for a glass of OJ. With no refills! It sucks so bad, but then again.. it's an all you can eat dim sum place. After that, we had to get prepared to board for China (Sanya City). So the whole thing with the passports and boarding passes had to be taken care of. It took really long to get through Chinese customs, but in the end, we managed to get to our tour bus. The tour guide George was awesome, and his English was so broken that it made me crack up. He took us everywhere around the area, and even hung around our family to help us. I guess he knew we were rich... kinda expected a big tip from us. He was nice, and he got us some good bargains with our souvenirs. Let's see... went to the Crystal Emporium, ate at a five-star hotel, and get this... went to the end of earth and back. I'm not kidding. I have pics to prove it. The whole bus sung Christmas songs on our way back... it was kinda annoying. Hmm... so we got back to the ship around 8 PM, and after that... ugh... I can't remember. We were so tired, we got back around 7 PM and headed straight for our cabins. That was pretty much DAY 2 of the trip. Oh yea... X-Men was showing on TV, so we watched that. Other than that, nothing else happened.

Expensive than the seafood square, but good taste

Sanya Bay, nice place, cheap food and walm people

I have been there as instructed my my buddies, but decided not to eat there. The food is not cheap at all and it is not a clean place for food.

Woooohooo.. Ok this is my first blog thingy that I've written because Jessy O'esy is too good.. Well what to say bout Sanya.. If you've ever been to Australia's Gold Coast then you'll know exactly what it's like.. If not then I suppose its just like any beach resort in the world, its busy and its expensive but when the sun's setting, and your with a cold beer and good friends its equally beautiful and no better place to be.

Sanya is on Hainan Island and the most southern tip of China. It's at the same latitude as Hawaii so the weather is warmer than an oven and the waters a real treat if you don't mind the odd bit of rubbish or floaty! We hadn't been swimming since what seemed like years so we hit it up without a thought except for the enjoyment of floating like a marsh mallow in hot chocolate.. Now for the real reason why we went there.. SURF.. What can be said for the place.. Sanya was TINY.. But you could hire boards.. The local of the 1 foot high beach break said that's the place to be at the time of year but in winter the east coast is better since Sanya faces South South/East.. Well dougie and I were still keen as  kids to get a decent wave like we'd seen on the net (link below) so we packed bags and headed halfway up the east coast to the place to be in winter hoping against hope, we were soon all sitting on the back of a motor bike to Shimi Bay were it turns out the waves were actually smaller than Sanya.. OOoopss.. . Well that's the joy of a surfer, the thrill of the search... The next town had some especially tasty prawns (sauce was Soya sauce, chili and lime) and coldish beers.We admitted defeat to Huye (surf god) that we weren't going to be riding anything decent and hired what we could which was a flexi booga and hit the waves.. We stood up on some tiny rollers and called an end to our surf search on Hainan.. First plane outa there...!!
