Hi! Nice hotel, beautiful territory and excellent breakfasts. We were there in August with family. Time is considered off-season. Out of 6 days, it rained once for half an hour and it was warm and pleasant. Yalouyewan beach is clean and the water is sooooo warm, we swam for 3 hours every day. We went to the thermal springs, many pools with different fillings, such as coconut milk, roses, fish and a children's area. I would live there. The impressions from the holiday at the Cactus hotel are the most positive. We will come back here again

We visited in January 2020 , my daughter knows Chinese, so we traveled everywhere ourselves - it's much cheaper, I liked the hotel and the territory too, the sea is great (although we also have norms in Vladivostok ), I liked the musical fountain in Dadonghai and Phoenix Island

Vacation on a Chinese island in December 2019. We paid for the "Standard" without a balcony overlooking the mountains. I really got a more comfortable one on the ground floor 1102, at the end of the left wing, with access to the garden to the lake. When entering the room, the smell of dampness hits the nose. Then you get used to it. All furniture and plumbing are new. Fresh renovation. The safe is free (not used). The linen is snow-white, two towels per person.+ for feet, bathrobe. There are bath slippers in the closet, but they are used (not used), there are beach bags. There are many accessories in the bathroom. After use, the cleaners put in new ones. Towels are changed every day. There is a kettle and tea set in the room. Two 0.5l bottles of water are brought to the room daily. In the hotel store, such water costs 100 rubles. attention: The TV shows only Chinese TV, so take a USB stick with you. Our films were recorded in AVI format. Set up the TV using the side buttons only. You can't set up a TV on a USB stick from the remote control. The TV menu is also in Chinese. WI-FI is available only in the room. No VPNs worked for us from the hotel's Internet network. They only work in roaming mode. Territory: It's a miracle!!! There are all kinds of plants in the garden. Even the mangroves. The botanical garden is under the windows. There are twenty species of palm trees, including coconut trees. Two huge pools, one of which is for children. There is so much water in it that even lying down you will not be able to drown. The depth of the adult pool is 1.2 meters and two lifeguards are loaded. The pool bar is chargeable. There is no animation and in the evening the hotel goes to sleep. There is silence and tranquility all around. Young people are not here. Meals: We had a Breakfast+Dinner concept. The food deserves a rating of 4. There is enough food and decent quality. For breakfast, there is always yogurt from the vending machine, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, boiled and fried dumplings, noodles, porridge, sausages, etc. Fruits of 2-3 types. Tea and coffee are DISGUSTING!!!! For breakfast, instead of tea, they took cola or watermelon. A richer dinner. Always Peking duck is very tasty, chicken or beef with mushrooms, lots of side dishes, greens, fruits, and very tasty ice cream (unlimited) coffee, pistachio, ice cream and strawberry. And of course tea and coffee are DISGUSTING!!!! There are many dishes prepared for the Chinese that we are even afraid to approach. However, a European tourist will always find food to taste and in sufficient quantity. Those who have "FB+" meals for lunch and dinner can take dry wine or beer at the bar. Beer is bottled from a plastic 1.5l bottle, which is not ice. By the way, draft beer in Yalong starts from 200 rubles. per glass 0.4 liters. Beach: You can take a beach cart in 4 minutes or walk from the main pool along the path along the pond in 10 minutes. Since this year, the beach of our hotel is on the right side, near the diving center. The shizlong on the left side became paid for 1000 rubles apiece. In December, the weather was gorgeous, there were almost no waves, the water was warm. The sun is very active from 12 to 15, be careful. Towels can be taken from the room, shizlong wooden and tied to steel umbrellas. In addition, every 15 minutes. Warnings of tourists about behavior on the beach are being sent over the loudspeaker and loudly enough in Chinese, English and Russian. Therefore, it will not be possible to sleep on the beach. The entrance to the sea is smooth, the depth is behind the buoys, where rescuers are not allowed and constantly whistle their whistles. The Chinese themselves hardly swim, go dressed and take pictures. Our bay is one of the most beautiful places on the island, so every day they bring crowds of tourists on an excursion. Surroundings: Yalung village is small, everything is very expensive, especially in the Balabala zone. If you want to change money normally, buy beer and other alcohol in the village there is a store "At Zhenya's". A bottle of 0.5 beer - 40 rubles, bamboo vodka 0.5 liters. 150 rubles., Chinese cognac 90 rubles., currency exchange - for $ 100 gave 692 yuan. For comparison, the hotel guide gives 670, at the reception 650. The Bank of China gives 720, but this procedure will take 30-40min. because you will have to fill out forms and wait for the registration of a resident. And the nearest bank is located in Dodonghai. By the way, you can get there by bus 15 and 25. The fare is 7 yuan. It is necessary to pay for the calculation because they do not give change. In Dodonghai, at the Pineapple shopping center, we bought French and Australian wine for 28 yuan per bottle. Everything else can be bought from us in Yalong. However, it is a little cheaper to eat in a cafe or restaurant in Dodonghai than in the vicinity of our bay. And now about the Anex Tour. The flight is planned so that you arrive at the hotel after midnight, i.e. you will lose the entire daylight and paid meals. And the departure from the hotel will be the same - after midnight. But only on this day you will have to vacate the room before 12 o'clock, which we did not do. As a result, the $100 deposit was not returned to us. There were quite a few people like us. This scheme involves a Kazakh hotel guide posing as a Korean and posing as Kim. *** of the highest standard. And transfer guides from Anex Tour are generally a "song". Upon arrival in Hainan, a Chinese man met us and said on the bus: "My name is Vanya, my Russian is bad, who needs to change days for me." That's it!!!!! Two Tajiks came to pick up from the hotel, who do not speak Russian at all. Azur-Air planes are tubby, six toilets for 350 people and 10 hours in the air. Meals are DISPOSABLE instead of three meals a day. The stewards handed out plastic cups and warned that they had no more dishes. If you want to drink, come to us with your glass. There is a huge queue for the toilet. Sanya Airport: It's SHHHHH!!!! Upon arrival, it is necessary to take fingerprints on the device in the lobby, which is constantly buggy due to dirt on the scanner glass. There are only eight devices, but there are 350 of us. Then to the border control, and after that customs, which seizes all products, especially fruits. But the flight from Sanya to Moscow turned out to be a real test. Russian tourists are sent from the island at night like cattle. At the same time, five flights from Saratov, Ufa, Kazan, Domodedovo, Vnukovo become in one queue. And this begins. Departures with an interval of 10 minutes. Half-asleep, half-drunk and half-drunk tourists, in a crowd of one and a half thousand, are terrible in anger. The low capacity of Sanya wooden airport will make any Russian person a rebel. As a result, we all fly out late, but happy.
