We stayed here for a trade show. The hotel offers butler service, and our butler, Fiona, was always available online to answer our questions during our stay. Compared to the beach resort vibe of Sheraton, this Marriott has a more business-oriented feel, largely due to its massive convention center and duty-free shop nearby. As the only international chain hotel in the vicinity of the convention center and duty-free shop, it seems they never lack guests. The hotel's style is quite distinctive, featuring a standard Chinese retro design, especially in the lobby area with its high-hanging red lanterns, which gives a festive touch and contrasts sharply with typical seaside resorts. The hotel also has an executive lounge, which is a nice perk for members.
One notable feature is the hotel's north-south ventilation design, which is excellent. The open ventilation system in both the lobby and rooms is very unique. We were upgraded to a sea-view room. Breakfast is served at the Fish Bar restaurant below the lobby, offering a wide variety of options. While there weren't any standout 'signature dishes,' it was more than sufficient to fill up. The freshly made pan-fried buns and rice noodle rolls were quite popular. Judging by the number of people at breakfast, the hotel seems to have a good occupancy rate, attracting both business and leisure travelers. The hotel is equipped with a gym and an outdoor swimming pool, which also includes a hot spring pool. The environment is pleasant, though the area is not very large and can get crowded during peak hours. However, the seaside promenade outside the hotel is also an excellent place for fitness and relaxation. The Chinese retro style of the hotel lobby is very atmospheric, and the executive lounge was a great solution for dinner. Its proximity to the convention center and CDF International Duty-Free City makes it an excellent choice for those planning to shop at the duty-free store. The hotel is relatively close to Haikou Station and about a half-hour drive from the airport, making it generally convenient.
