I've been to Hainan many times, but this was my first visit to Haikou. After much deliberation, I chose the West Coast. My initial check-in experience wasn't great. The hotel clearly states check-in at 3 PM, and they should honor that. We arrived at 3 PM but didn't get our room cards until 4 PM. While they explained it was due to a shortage of cleaning staff and offered drinks during the wait, I can understand the reason for the delay, but I still don't approve of it.
Putting that unpleasantness aside, my experience after checking in far exceeded my expectations, to the point where I'd consider staying here again on my next trip to Haikou. The room size was perfect, and it was well-equipped. We had a direct sea view from the balcony. Both breakfast and dinner were quite good, and the room service was also decent, with flavors that suited people from the Sichuan and Chongqing regions. The hotel only has one pool, but it was sufficient, and the public beach next to the hotel was surprisingly clean. Upon checkout, they even gave us some Hainanese snacks and coffee packets.
