Blonsai Tropical Rainforest Holiday Manor (Baoting Yanoda Branch)

The location was perfect for visiting the park. I have nothing else positive to say about the place. Loud guest shouting outside our window and balcony kept us up.

From the photographs we were really looking for to our trip to bulongsai but unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. It is a shame because you can tell that when the place first opened it must have been truly beautiful but it has run down since then. The room itself is modern and the TV is great with lots of free foreign films, the maid is kind and topped up our water and towels everyday but it could be cleaner. There was a lot of hair and dust in the room and the pool was a little dirty. The main pool was a little dirty too and the pool guy just seemed to sit their on his phone all day long. The kitchen waitresses were lovely and thank you to the receptionist for helping us book a taxi but the overall impression is that everyone is tired and not bothered by the state of the hotel. The scenery is beautiful but even the paddy fields are a little unkept. Finding food is a mission. The hotel restaurant is nice and there are a few little bare minimum shops on the site but be aware that the location is in the middle of nowhere far away from the beaches of Sanya. There is a little petting zoo and it seems like a good place for children. The hotel itself was advertised as a villa but really you just get a room like any other hotel. The hotel is mixed in with a rural village so be aware if you are foreign you will get a lot of strange looks and stared at often but on the whole everyone is friendly. I have mixed feelings about this place. It just needs rejuvenating which would not be too hard if the staff were a little more proactive and if there were more things in the area and food options it would be better. Yanoda park is not far from the hotel, I'd say if you're only planning to stay a couple of nights it's ideal but a week was far too long for us. Oh and the breakfast was good overall if you like Chinese food. The zhongzi was my favourite.
