Stayed in HoJo Sanya for 6 days in May 2013 during Chinese Labor Day holiday. My pregnant wife and I took our 2-year old son with us with the hopes of a relaxing getaway from work at a warm location. Pros: 1. The resort facilities were good. Design quite beautiful. Private section of Sanya Bay beach blocked just for HoJo... More

Not what I expected from Howard Johnson, or a highly rated resort at Sanya. It's a large hotel with good rooms, good views, nice pools etc etc.. but it's Sanya, that's the norm. Service as usual was Chinese - something to be desired. 24 hour room service (albeit not something I normally use) had nothing to eat two nights in... More

This huge hotel has attractive rooms, which are well laid out with good facilities. It's sheer size however means that simple things like getting items to eat at breakfast involve a long, long walk. The staff seemed dis-interested in the guests and were not really helpful.

Be warned! This hotel room layout offers no privacy between the room and bathroom! No divide, door, or anything. What you do is seen, heard, and smelled by anyone in the room.Other than that, the hotel is ok. Nice public spaces and good service. Very clean.

Because this hotel is located closer to the airport than the place where the fancy Ritz and MGM grand is (YaLong Wan), it is a bit cheaper, even though the inside is just as fancy as any of those hotels. It also has a fancy outdoor lobby, a nice pool, and beach access. If you are adventurous, the local bus... More

It's a nice enough resort, not much around there though... at least not yet. Sanya is ripe for more development, and this area is right on the edge of it's path. I give this HoJo good marks for a decent and clean room (ocean view family suite) with (and most importantly) good air conditioning. Bad marks for the vast, yet... More

The photos look great, the staff, rooms, dinning and the pool is in terrible state. I would recommend to everyone to stay away from Sanya. This hotel is next door to a local tip. Hard to find someone that speak English.

Stayed at the Hojo for 5 nights. It's close to the airport and is one of the better hotels on Sanya Bay. Hotel has drifted away from western standards in the last few years. Rooms are getting dated, service has lapsed somewhat. However, the property is beautiful, the gardens are perfectly kept. The 3 swimming pools are excellent. On the... More

A hotel with OK location in the sense of its clossness to the Airport .. yet the overall outside enviroment is much less "entertaining" compared to its inside / front decoration .. food and room is ok standard but good thing is they have a indoor hotspring pool which helps a lot for those who dont have time to swim...
