San Ya Horizon Resort & Spa

Kids really like this hotel, they don't want to leave. Especially like the swimming pool and the beach.

Air conditioners cool slowly.

Breakfast buffet is incredible. Caters to families with small children.

Caters to families with small children. No bars, night entertainment. We were there on New Years with not much to do.

Comfortable, Chinese-style and family-friendly hotel at Yalong Bay Beach. We were happy to enjoy the amenities of VIP status (probably because we had booked a deluxe family suite). For VIP guests, buffets for breakfast and for tea in the afternoon (with a good variety of fruits, Chinese dishes and sweets, coffee/tea/juices) were included and served in a separate dining room. The garden is nicely arranged, providing various pools, water slides, swings, hammocks. Direct access to the beach, it is allowed to swim in the ocean (at least in a designated area watched by a lifeguard). Hotel is located very near (5 min walk) to a market with Asian cuisine restaurants and Western fast food.

Don't expect the modern-stylish architecture of the Western hotels in the area. Don't expect fluent English by the staff.

I love Horizon Resort & Spa. This was my second stay here. Last year I was traveling with my two-year old and I absolutely loved it! I loved the location and the fact that everything you need in right there. Traveling alone with a toddler can be very challenging, but at Horizon it wasn't challenging at all. Everything we needed was just minutes (if not seconds) away: pools, playgrounds, the beach, even a small zoo! There's also a Starbucks across the street, a supermarket, McDonald's, KFC, a park for kids - all about five minutes away (on foot). My son and I played at the beach, at the pool or the playground, then had lunch, then he had his afternoon nap and after that we had lots of fun again. No need to travel by bus or taxi - all the fun is minutes away :) I highly recommend this place to people who travel a love or with kids - it's awesome! We are thinking about coming back again next year!

I really like Horizon Resort & Spa - it truly is an amazing place for travel with kids. One thing I'd like to see is more vegetarian and vegan options on their menu. I'm a vegan and my family members are vegetarian. If we order at a restaurant we have to pay for the meat even if we ask the waiters to make a certain dish without the meat. I think it would be great if there were vegan and vegetarian dishes or price adjustment. Why do I have to pay for meat if I ask to remove it? ;) If they could provide more vegan and vegetarian options we would not have to eat outside, we'd just eat right there at the restaurant.
