Everything at the hotel was incredible. It is in the perfect location for someone that wants peace, access to the beach and excellent service. The food was great. The only negatives were Covid related. I was traveling from Beijing, so I could not go on any tours or excursions. The hotel made up for it by being a great place to relax and hang out.

Perhaps the hotel is under renovation as only one wing seemed to be being used. Beds were a little firm, but better than other places in China. Food & drinks expensive, but breakfast buffet pretty extensive. They do not speak as much English here as anticipated. Pool only 4.5’ deep.

Overall I had a pleasant 3 nights stay at this hotel, it was certainly built as a five star, however, it is starting to need some TLC. The staff were amazing, friendly and courteous. I find it to be an excellent location for a true getaway, close enough to the airport, but far away from the hustle & bustle of the city. The public beaches were steps away (across the road) and lots of paths along the ocean for perfect morning/evening walk (stroll). I would recommend.

waiting for refund
I booked this hotel for 3 days but I stayed only one night. Smokers are every where, room smelled hard smoke. There was a ashtray in the room. the same time in informed reception desk and asked to cancel my next two days. Dealing with reception was really hard. they spoke very little English and they asked me to contact Hotels.com. unfortunately there was no WiFi at that time. I could write a mail to Hotels.com through business center computer and I asked a refund. Still I am waiting for a reply from Hotels.com, and they said they are still trying to contact the Crowne Plaza. To book your hotel it will take 2 min. but if you have a problem or refund no one will be there for you.

Nice resort but poorly maintained
I was upgraded to a lovely suite but there was mildew in the shower, the sofa cushion was stained and the lights in the living room could not be turned off or on from any switch there. The bed base and headboard were peeling and paint touch ups were visible on the shower ceiling. I wasn't aware that breakfast ended at 10:30 am and arrived to the restaurant at 10:40 when the buffet was being cleared. As I don't speak Chinese, it was difficult to communicate with the employees and they just advised that breakfast was over. Eventually an employee offered to get me some bread. When I returned to my room hoping to order room service breakfast I found that room service does not serve breakfast. I went looking for other options and only the lobby lounge was open. From there I was able to order a lunch dish to the lobby lounge. At check out the employees were friendly but when I requested a copy of the lobby lounge bill, they called over to the lounge and advised the bill could not be found as the meal was 2.5 hour prior but the bar was empty so I did not understand the reason for this. On requesting a taxi at the front door to go to the airport the employees told me they did not know how to get a taxi as they were new. There were several employees and I had to explain to them that they need to find out the telephone number for a taxi company so that they can call taxis for waiting guests. Eventually I did get a taxi. The employees were friendly but did not appear to be trained.

Overall, a wonderful well managed resort.
A wonderful resort with great breakfast offering. Special thnx to a great service from Vincen at the desk and Kent, Alvin at the entrance crew. Quiet, great pools, great beach across the back road. Not a walking distance to town but a cab ride is about $10 US. Very close to airport and Nanshan etc. Shuttle service is available though the schedule offered is poor only two trips per day and doesn't start till 10am. Airport pickup should be offer to guess since it is way closure than many other resorts to airport. Free wifi should be strengthen, connection is fairly weak.

Beautiful Hotel with many minor faults
In the room, there is a little card that says " its the little things that counts". Obviously they do not walk the talk. In my room alone, the cordless phone does not work, the USB Charging port on the desk panel does not work, the clock in the bathroom has stopped and the shower rose holder is loose. In my parents room, the door cannot lock. Its is time for a refresh.

No Crowne Royalty Here
Renovation process was still taking place. Misleading to see here on hotels.com as a 5 star hotel when it felt like maybe a 3 or less. I feel like even with the hotels of less quality had less things falling apart. Middle of the hotel lobby had construction going on and most of the furniture was covered and not usable. We tried to check in an hour early our rooms weren't ready with no place to sit and wait. There was barely any air conditioning on. We each did get a complimentary drink in the Business Executive Lounge. I was hot and tired from our train ride in, and just wanted a nice cold beer. I have never been served warm beer ever, and I totally flipped out in all of my American splendor. I have been to poorer countries and served cold beer. I did end up getting a cold beer after trying to translate in my terrible Chinglish. After maybe an hour or so later only one room was ready, and so I just got mine later in the evening. My room did not have a luggage rack or a tall standing lamp as my parent's hotel room did even though it was 2 rooms away from mine. My room also had a broken door knob to the glass sliding door, total security issue. 2 electrical outlets didn't even work, plate outlet coming apart, hair dryer paint peeling off, double lock on the door didn't work, no towel holder for separate toilet and sink area, dusty chaise, blood on the blanket, torn bedskirt, frayed duvet cover, and peeling wallpaper, and barely any AC working. Not worth it and not recommending.

Nice location
Nice location, but staff spoke limited English and some of the hotels facilities such as the spa, some restaurants and boutique shop were not available. On the positive side, the hotel room was fantastic with great facilities and comfort. Overall, if you speak Chinese it's a 5 out of 5 hotel, but if you speak English, it's a 2 out of 5, a 3 if best.

Sanya, Saved the Best for Last
Sanya, China was the last of our four country, Asia vacation. Grand Fortune Bay Hotel was impressive, every bit 5-star. Room was grand and spacious. We had a tub in the balcony and used twice. Very romantic with the curtain drawn. Rooms on the 1st floor can walk straight into the swimming pool from the backdoor. The inclusive breakfast buffet is a must. It has Asian and Western flavors and large selections. We dine at the Noodle Store Restaurant one evening. The pulled noodle was fresh made. It was fun just watching the chef making the noodle. The evening all you can eat outdoor seafood BBQ was also great. The BBQ was also entertained by a very accomplished Filipino band.

THROWN INTO STREETS ON 12/31/14 NEW YEAR'S EVE!
GREETINGS FELLOW GLOBETROTTERS! WELL, THIS HOTEL IS ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKINGLY WONDERFUL! I MEAN, LIKE A ITALIAN RESORT ON THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA! (sp?) *LIKE A CEASAR'S PALACE KIND OF DECOR & BAR/POOL ON THE BEACH-RIGHT UP TO THE SEA-LINE! IT IS ONE OF THE BEST UNDER THE SUN!!! MY WIFE & 8 MONTH OLD BABY GIRL ARRIVED @ AROUND 2PM JUST IN TIME TO SPEND NEW YEAR'S EVE THERE IN THE USN, ON THE BEACH, BEFORE FLYING BACK TO THE CHINA MAINLAND ON 1/02/15. WE ALL STOOD IN LINE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THIS 5 STAR GIG OVERSOLD EVERY LAST ROOM- EVEN THOUGH THEY GAVE US A CONFIRMATION# VIA HOTELS.COM (Most likely, they gave our room away to some local government dude; or wealthy Chinese busniess man/woman- of whom demanded a room from theme even though they were sold out & when this happens here in China, they cannot refuse!) THE MANAGER DUDE WAS NICE AS HE COULD BE IN SUCH A SPOT- BUT HAD NO PLAN-B FOR US AT ALL! SO IN THE END, AFTER 2 HOURS OF TRYING TO GET MY FAMILY OFF THE STREET AND INTO A NICE ROOM; THEY JUST SAID, "NO"! So I had to call Hotels.com from my cell phone & book an inferior hotel some 30 kilometers away! Not on the beach, and not a 5 star! It was nice- and yes better than being stranded in Kenya or Nigeria or Iraq, but it was a total waste of a great sunny day in Sanya- and a huge disappointment to say the least. BOTTOM LINE...BEWARE OF THIS PALACE-RESORT! YOU MINGHT NOT GET IN AT ALL. ) -; LEW~ San Diego, Ca. USA & Fu Zhou city*PRC

Great, relaxing get-away
Stayed here after 7 days of extensive sight-seeing in central China. It was perfect because it is a somewhat remote location ($15 cab into DT Sanya), with a wonderful pool and beach access. Although there were only a few comfortable speaking English, everyone tried. Also very helpful securing transit into town, to monkey island (which is 1.5 hrs from the hotel) and the airport. Agree that restaurant options are limited, food at Star cafe was just fine. Prices similar to the states. Bringing snacks, drinks saves money and time. Bath tub on balcony was great surprise! Great place for a mom and her 2 20-something kids.
