I stayed at a hotel in Sanya that almost made me think it was a retirement home due to its design

Sanya Taikang Home Premium Selection Hotel is truly a hotel that can be misleading by its name. At first glance, the name suggests it is a retirement home, but once you check in, you realize it is a treasure trove of design. From the moment you enter the lobby, you can feel the design. The lobby is designed with a wooden atrium, and when sunlight shines through, it is divided into beautiful light blocks by the lattice. The large atrium in the hotel's courtyard features a large pool in the center. As you walk along the surrounding corridors, your shadow is cast into the pool, making it feel more like an art gallery than a hotel. In the evening, there is a night ceremony at the pool, adding a strong sense of ritual. The rooms in the hotel are spacious, with a decor style leaning towards MUJI. The extensive use of natural wood and bamboo gives a rustic feel, though some might find it a bit old-fashioned if they don't like this style. Be sure to request a room that avoids facing south when you check in, as there is a construction site on the south side of the hotel. Although construction has stopped, the view is still affected. On the other side, there are pool and sea view rooms, offering a much better view. The hotel is a bit of a distance from the beach, so if you want to play in the water, you might have to walk a long way. However, the hotel's internal pool, lawn, and botanical garden can make up for this shortcoming. Additionally, the hotel's laundry room is very convenient for families traveling together. The hotel's design is simple but gives a very grand feeling. Besides the lobby and atrium mentioned earlier, the paths leading to the restaurant and pool are also grandly designed, making it easy to take high-end photos. Moreover, the west end of the corridor on the third floor and above faces an amusement park, where you can take pictures of the Ferris wheel. Compared to some other popular hotels, this one is relatively quieter, making it a good choice for those who like a peaceful and relaxing vacation. 🏨Hotel: Sanya Taikang Home Premium Selection Hotel
