Renaissance Sanya Haitang Bay Resort

Worst hotel I ever stayed in. Only the beach and sea was enjoyable and pleasant! Reasons being: - My grandmother booked a better room category than me (sea view room), but received EXACTLY the same room - Front desk would refuse to "upgrade" her for free, insisting that room was her category (You could guess there was a sea due to the sound of the waves and if you peered through the palm trees) - Free wifi only after fighting with front desk - Gym impossible to find without wondering around for 15 min - Breakfast was so bad we went to eat outside (I'm Chinese and love Chinese food, so cuisine wasn't the problem) - but to be fair, the hotel was indeed catering to hundreds of mainland Chinese which always involves chaos and huge wastage (perhaps offer "free flow" off a menu instead of buffet) - "Adult pool" was full of children; staff couldn't be bothered refusing entry to families because "they'd just fight" - Bar had either corked or horrific wines - A la carte food just as bad as buffet - Poor girl at "pool bar" served me tea in a milk decanter - "Pool bar" was unattended so that we had to go inside to order and eat Out of 4 nights we dined for lunch and dinner outside at other, so much better, hotels like rosewood or the hyatt.
