My stay at Howard Johnson Resort Sanya Bay was a wonderful experience overall. The resort boasts excellent facilities and beautifully maintained grounds, along with comfortable rooms that provided a lovely view. The service was attentive, though the staff's English proficiency was limited at times. The location was convenient, close to the beach and various shops, but if you're looking for a more bustling dining scene, it's a bit further away. The breakfast buffet was definitely a highlight, while afternoon tea could use some improvement.
