Sofitel Sanya Leeman Resort

We stayed one night at Sofitel.. The kid pools area are disappointing. Saw sand and and leaves in the pool and the slide facilities look wearing and not safe. Many pointing edges and no wrapping around the slides. I do not recommend to bring kids to play there. Other adult swimming pools are fine. The beach is nice with fine and smooth sand. The food is also good with many choices. We tried the dim sum all-you-can-eat lunch and the experience was bad. Food waiting time is too long. Food is served slow. We ordered 3 rounds but what we ordered did not all finally served, even we asked the waiters to follow up the missing dishes. In the end, they just told us that the food order was missing and the restaurant has to be closed. We paid for the price but did not enjoy what we deserved. This is the worst part of our journey.

breakfast very good, location ok, kids club house is free, swimming pool soso, reasonable price of the room price.

I stayed with my wife and 3 years daughter in the end of May Chinese holiday season. The hotel was build recently so the facilty is very new and very modern. It has very big swimming pool that kidz goes crazy. So interms of the facility this is greatest place. 3 restaurants available in the hotel not too expensive and taste is good but the hotel is located to middle of nowhere so you have to manage in those 3 restaurants or take taxi to go restaurant for food hunt. And not really interesting place near by for sightseeing. The hospitality is far less than that you experience in popular resort hotels in world wide. Some staff do not speak English and you may struggle with communication if you do not speak Chinese. I recommend this holtel to whom wants to stay only inside of hotel during holiday and do not demand for involvement with hotel staff. This is good hotel in general but cannot find any outstanding character comparing of other asian beach resorts.

We wanted to experience Haitong Bay and had moved to Sofitel from a XiaoDong Bay hotel. Sofitel is definitly a superbly designed property and has some nice touches - kids pools, warm water pools, large lap pools, activity pools and a huge variety of places to lay, sit, rest, nest, swing outdoors. They gym was good, but it could have used a few more machines. I noticed they had a pole, for dancing! Staff were good, but sometimes could have been more proactive. My major complaint is the helicopter that takes off from near the pools sometimes every 15 minutes for short tours up and down the beach. this is loud and annoying - and really is the key thing that would cause me not to return. Guests should be aware that the "no swimming" signs on the beach by the hotel appear to be permanent. So if you want to swim in the ocean, this is not the beach to stay at.

I stayed at this resort for two weeks in suit with an ocean view with my wife. The breakfast buffet included a wide selection of western and traditional Chinese dishes with lots of fruits and beverages. The room cleaning services were exceptional, the bed was made and towels were always changed. We frequented the various amenities such as the swimming pools, hike trails, and Sofit gym when it was too hot to be outside and always came back to a clean comfortable room for an afternoon nap or a great night sleep. There are lots of surrounding attractions as well but make you have WePay or bring cash if you want to explore offsite locations. I would recommend this location for a weekend or week long for couples or family vacation.
