The Langham Haikou

喜欢建筑风格，早餐很好，海景超棒

员工太年轻无经验

This is my third visit to Haikou with my husband and the Langham did not disappoint. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The bed was enormous and extremely comfortable. Daily housekeeping was prompt and efficient. Our room had a beautiful view of the sea and the Evergreen park. The Ever green park was just across the road and a beautiful place for a walk. The Mixc department store was also just a short walk away, with all of its restaurants and shops. We spent one evening at the Liquary bar, enjoying a drink and another beautiful night view. There is a fantastic variety at breakfast. We had forgotten to add breakfast onto our room booking so had to pay for it separately, but it turned out to be only ¥88 per person, very reasonable. We also enjoyed the "all you can eat" dim sum at Tang Court on both Saturdays that we were there; even during the low season the Tang Court excelled, and all the dishes were incredible. The Langham has absolutely become our go-to when we visit in the summer.

If I was going to be very picky: I wish there was another hook on the wall in the bathroom to hang a bath towel. There was also a bit of confusion re opening times - one sign at the pool still said "open 7am-11pm" but another said "open 10am-10pm" which turned out to be correct. This only affected us on one of the days when we had no other plans and decided to visit the pool in the morning (we arrived around quarter to 10 and they let us in anyway). Also the Liquary bar closes relatively early, at 9pm (not 11pm as we were first told on checking in).

Excellent location, right next to a huge mall. You can shop and dine and find everything there by walking across. The design of the hotel is classy and luxury which is my liking. The lunch food at Chinese restaurant is excellent. I grew up in HK and was spoilt by good dim sum taste. I would say this HK sifu has very high standard of skill. Although price is pricey, it is worth the money. And there is almost no children around, very good for couple travelling.

Front counter staff made mistakes when checking in giving us wrong smoking room without asking permission. He just put us in smoking room. Good that they changed it immediately.

WiFi totally not working throughout my 4 nights stay even though it shows CONNECTED.
