This hotel stay was incredibly satisfying overall! It really delivered the facilities and service level of a luxury hotel. The location is excellent, the room is spacious, and housekeeping was consistently tidying up and cleaning to keep it spotless. It's also very close to the duty-free shop, making shopping super convenient. The hotel offers a rich variety of activities and entertainment, so I highly recommend just staying at the hotel for everything – food, accommodation, and fun. The staff's attitude was also excellent, making for a great experience.
I want to particularly commend our butler, Kent! He was attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay, promptly responding to all our needs with proactive and kind service – very detailed and warm-hearted. The buffet breakfast offered a wide selection, with skim milk, 0-sugar yogurt, and a fresh orange juice machine – big pluses. The taste was on point. The Chinese restaurant, buffet dinner, and the seafood hotpot on the tenth floor were all excellent in quality and portion size, definitely worth it. The water activities were fantastic; paddleboarding and kayaking were both a lot of fun. The resort grounds are lush with greenery and beautifully serene, with staff constantly maintaining them. Overall, it felt like a complete vacation, and I highly recommend staying here. I'll definitely prioritize the Westin for future trips to Sanya.
However, while the hotel's public areas are stunning – the scenes and lighting are perfect for photos, and even casual phone shots of people look great – our experience with the travel photography company was terrible. Their posing instructions were clumsy, and the photo editing was stiff and ugly, making us look like mannequins. Despite shooting for a long time, the results were still poor. The attitude during photo selection was also bad; they didn't let us take our time, rushing us through very quickly. There weren't enough staff for photo selection, and many time slots were unavailable, forcing us to make do with inconvenient times. It felt like they didn't want to make money, and the person scheduling appointments also had a bad attitude. Fortunately, the hotel butler was incredibly responsible and proactive. After asking about our stay and learning about the photography issue, he immediately reported it, and only then did the photography company's attitude improve slightly, and they called to apologize. However, the subsequent handling by their staff still lacked any sincerity. The gap between them and travel photography companies at other hotels is huge. My family also thought the photos were ugly, even worse than the 10-yuan beach photos, which is absurd.
