Bra läge, Bara några min från stranden. Liv och rörelse runt omkring, Det finns affärer, fruktstånd, restauranger och streetfood på kvällen. Nära till Sanya stad. ca 15 kr med taxi till city. Mycket folk på stranden, mycket aktiviteter tex jetski och paragliding mm. Allt står på kinesiska eller ryska i detta område. Mycket ryska turister. Rummet var fräscht. 4 st riktigt mjuka sängar. Personalen var lite slapp och inte så engagerade. Fotbollsspelet vid entren var riktigt kul. Öl och fotbo

Would definitly stay again, easy going and helpful staff, good atmosphere, great location. Has a little bit of a hippie-vibe going. Open lobby and areas to get to know other travellers.

The mattresses were great! Linen was clean, staff was very helpful. The bathrooms could use a little improvement--they drained very slowly and you had to use a giant squeegee to get the water to move towards the drain.

The staff wasn\'t so helpful. We got wrong directions and information a few times - where to go snorkeling, how to get there, etc. But the location is great. There is a great information center around on the other side of the big mall near the hostel. They have great maps and people working with great, non-misleading information.

Beautiful! wonderful! everyone was so helpful. The dog is very friendly and playful as well is the new little kitten. The out- side bar and Foosball table makes meeting other people easy. we met lasting friends, and we will be going back during our next holidays.

Blue Sky was ok, but for what we paid we weren\'t impressed. Staff mixed up our reservation for 5 and we had to sleep the first night split into separate rooms, then move the next day. Also, internet was quite slow. Other than that, good place to stay. Close to the beach and free towels, you can get a fresh one every day if you like!!

Each night when we came home, the room was swarming with different kind of nasty bugs. The bathroom was non functional and extremely run down and smelly. Having traveld quite a bit in asia, and China in particular, we felt the room was not worth the sum we paid. After two night, we had enough and tried to cancel the rest of the night we booked and payed for. The owner would not let us get our money back, claiming it would be difficult to find new customer. We felt in was not our fault/problem.

Ikea mattress ? Yes, but the cheapest and they are probably 50 years old. The smell in the room was really weird. Otherwise, staff is nice, location's good and water's hot :)

This was the first hostel that I have ever stayed in. I felt very safe there and the staff was very helpful. Two of them even took me to a beach that was about an hour away from the hostel which was beautiful and had very few people.
