We are priority club members and after a bit of a stressful start we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort. We had requested an ocean front King room but at check in (late at night) we were given a room on the club floor that overlooked the front of the hotel and a bus/car park. The room was not... More

This hotel is by no means a 5 or even a 4 star property. I'm starting to learn with all my travels in China that they have a much different grading scale of what 5 Star should consist of. The breakfast buffet was not too bad and I would rate it as average for China standards. Very old and outdated... More

Thanks for your comments! Our hotel opened in 2001, facilities are getting old. We buy new facilities according to our schedule, such as we replaced all TV by LCDTV, all carpet one in 2009, all bedding in 2010. As for the mold top floor, I am not sure where did you mean to. The ceiling of hallway is fine decorated.... More

This would be a 5 star hotel for China standards, which, would equal a 3 star hotel in the United States. I've traveled in China long enough to know to have low expectations when it comes to customer service and facilities for hotels. I can say that my low expectations were met at Holiday Inn Yalong Resort. I will start... More

Yalong Bay has excellent white sand beaches and crystal clear tropical water that is great for swimming/snorkeling/diving (8 m visibility when we stayed). Most of the beach is sectioned off for private resorts and the one public beach is a mad-house. Would strongly advise to stay at one of the hotels on Yalong Bay (Holiday Inn was great). Understand there... More

This is a great hotel/resort on a wonderful stretch of beach in Yalong Bay. We had a few hiccups at check-in regarding our room rate but these were quickly resolved. Hotel staff are very helpful, the rooms are well-appointed and clean (recommend a sea-view room) and there is enough variety with the dining options. The beach and ocean were perfect... More

We were looking for a beach destination near Hong Kong to relax for a few days and Hainan island seemed a good option for somewhere completely different. Got a package deal with Dragonair and stayed for 4 nights. Positives: location right on beach, clean clear water, and nice views with mountains in background. Extensive breakfast buffet, reasonable quality and lots... More

Okay.........Bottom line. Ignore previous reviews about location being perfect. POSITION is great, yes, I agree. Right on the beach. LOCATION is not so great and because this hotel and her neighbours are sooooo very expensive, you are faced with a 1 hour taxi drive to Sanya where restaurant prices are about 20% cheaper. Eating at this hotel was around 4... More

I am not sure really where to start on my experience at the Holiday Yalong Bay. I was here for only a night with a friend, but by the time we checked out we had a long list of complaints. Our visit started with the front desk losing our reservation. Beyond this when they finally found it, they insisted that... More

We decided to stay in the Holiday Inn, Yalong Bay mainly because of the location. The location is great, it's right on the beach with a great pool and beach swimming area. It also appeared to be good value considering what other hotels in the same bay charges. The staff were friendly and helpful, though we found it very hard... More
