Good people, don't go to China for a holiday! ! ! Caution ticks.
Or Aloha for a sucker.

We rested in China, on the island of Hainan, from July 12 to July 22.2019, at the Aloha oceanfront suite resort.
I'm talking about my impressions.
The hotel is large, several buildings, but quite dirty. It is possible to live more or less normally, only in the central building. We were first settled in the next one (6), this is some kind of trash. Dirty, stinks, renovation in the room 100 years ago.

In order to move to the central building, we agreed on the reception desk, at a moment's notice with the staff, since they do not know any language other than Chinese. And our guide from Join Up, the Chinese Yura, did not want to decide anything. We paid extra $300 for being overpowered. Yura decides nothing if it is not in his interests. He even refused to call a taxi when he found out that we were going on an excursion, but without his participation. And if he calls, the tariff multiplies by 2. He pays through a mobile application on the Internet, and you give him twice as much cash.
The internet is terrible.
The maximum that could be read is the news. The video will not load under any circumstances.
The food is terrible. A 3 star hotel in Egypt would be much better (noodles, eggs, rice, sometimes chicken). There are three options for lunch. Type of set meal. There is soup, dumplings, water with lemon.
All plastic utensils (plates, glasses and chopsticks). There are indeed metal forks.
When settling with tourists collected $ 100 deposit per room. If you soiled a towel - a fine, if you lost a paper card on a towel - a fine, if you left food on a plate in the dining room - a fine. The warning text about this can be read at the entrance to the dining room. Look at the photo.
There are not many people in the hotel. Most of the Chinese also have Ukrainians and Russians (50% Taghiil). The Chinese are a bit wild people. In the dining room, it's normal to burp in the nose. Yes, you will not get pleasure from eating.
Our Ukrainians seemed to me like lords from Buckingham Palace compared to the Chinese.
In general, the Chinese have a negative attitude towards tourists, that the staff, the seller in the store, the taxi driver. Although this does not apply to sellers in the market and tuk-tuk drivers.
The beach is beautiful, sandy, deserted. There are always waves on the sea. You won't be able to swim, but the water is warm and pleasant. BUT BE CAREFUL ON THE BEACH WITHOUT A PERSON OF SAND ROCK. Upon arrival home, I was treated for bites for another week (injections, ointments, tablets). If Chinese women or Chinese appear on the beach, then there will be no peace. I understand that squealing is a common thing for them. And they will scream all the time. At first, I perceived this screeching, like - save someone who is dying. In fact, the child forgot to wear a cap.
There is a lifeguard tower on the beach, but you need to sit far away from it, because the lifeguard, when he is there, spit loudly into the hot sand all the time.

The hotel has 2 active pools, but in the evening you will not swim alone, but with representatives of the fauna - floors. True, they do not swim, but they regularly come to drink water.
Change money for yuan at home, since there is nowhere to change money in China, except for Yura. And he has a rate of 20-30% lower.
Do not go on a sightseeing tour, as always, they just sell their goods in three ways.
Taxis are not expensive. Once we were driven by a taxi driver, constantly chewing some leaves. He had not a single tooth left from chewing and was not quite adequate. Be careful. By the way, there are many such chewing Chinese in the hotel among the staff.
Went for a free diagnosis to a Chinese medicine doctor. For 1500 dollars (1000 yuan) he promised to cure all diseases with herbs.
I would not recommend going to China for a holiday. Don't be fools like us. Much better to go to Sri Lanka for the same money. Everything is on top there, and the people are friendly, good food, cool hotels and deserted beaches.
