It's a nice enough resort, not much around there though... at least not yet. Sanya is ripe for more development, and this area is right on the edge of it's path. I give this HoJo good marks for a decent and clean room (ocean view family suite) with (and most importantly) good air conditioning. Bad marks for the vast, yet... More

The photos look great, the staff, rooms, dinning and the pool is in terrible state. I would recommend to everyone to stay away from Sanya. This hotel is next door to a local tip. Hard to find someone that speak English.

Stayed at the Hojo for 5 nights. It's close to the airport and is one of the better hotels on Sanya Bay. Hotel has drifted away from western standards in the last few years. Rooms are getting dated, service has lapsed somewhat. However, the property is beautiful, the gardens are perfectly kept. The 3 swimming pools are excellent. On the... More

A hotel with OK location in the sense of its clossness to the Airport .. yet the overall outside enviroment is much less "entertaining" compared to its inside / front decoration .. food and room is ok standard but good thing is they have a indoor hotspring pool which helps a lot for those who dont have time to swim...

We had a tremendously wonderful time in Sanya at the HoJo Resort. The rooms were great with a great view, very clean! The food was fantastic (esp. the breakfast buffet and Korean Rest.), except the Lobby Bar's drinks were watery and I'd dare not order a "snack" from there... it won't be what you think it might be. The staff... More

Nice hotel in a pretty good location. Near Airport which is much better than yalong bay. Staff is nice. Breakfast is ok. Not really western but does the trick.

I am from South Africa living in Shenyang which is North in China and westerners are very few with minimal English being spoken in the city. Having made a reservation in Sanya I did not expect a western way of life of any sort but at least I expected the hotel to be able to communicate with me. Not once... More

Stayed 2 nights at HoJo Sanya with family. Nice rooms with limited seaview. Location was slightly remote from city centre yet accessible by taxis. Basic gym-room facilities with good breakfast provision. Lots of tour groups from Russia and China yet the breakfast was re-stocked quickly within seconds. Staff were generally attentive. Downside was that there was only one shuttle-bus departure... More

We arrived at the hotel by taxi and were awaited by the hotels concierges. They took our bags while we proceeded to check-in. Always take a meter taxi and not the guys that prompt you into their cars, they are ALWAYS more expensive. The hotel is huge featuring around 1000 rooms while we were there the hotel was only at...
