Hotel: Boao State Guesthouse. Location: 1 Longtan Road, Boao Town, Qionghai City, Hainan Province! I really like the Chinese-style architecture here, surrounded by mountains, and every breath feels like a deep intimate contact with negative oxygen ions. In the hotel, there are bursts of crisp bird calls from time to time, which is simply cozy. The guest rooms of the Boao State Guesthouse are all built on the mountain, surrounded by trees, and fully equipped. Each guest room has a large balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. The room is open and bright. The mattress is super soft and clean. The bathroom and toilet are separated from wet and dry. It is also equipped with a state banquet drink. It can be said to be very comfortable and nourishing. The room types include panoramic rooms and detached villas, which can be selected for check-in according to personal conditions. About dining is in the hotel lobby bar, all kinds of pastries and drinks are highly recommended, especially the newly launched afternoon tea cake, which is a must-have for check-in. The lobby is connected to a large lawn, and children can play go-karts here, which is very suitable for parent-child families to play together.. In addition, I have to praise the restaurant for dining here. The ingredients are really super fresh and the quantity is sufficient. A few of us ordered a roast duck and a surfing Boao fish set meal, and this taste is simply love. . In addition to the comfortable and nourishing room environment, the hotel is also equipped with a swimming pool, gym, P tennis court, chess and card room and a very comfortable rainforest plank road. I was surprised that there was a pure "Thai ancient method SPA" here. Independent massage room + professional massage technique, private and comfortable..
