"As an American, I can honestly say that I really had no idea what to expect of China when I arrived here.  I had only the CNN view of China, featuring mostly bycycles and Mao suits.  The reality could no t be more different.  This country, and Hainan in particular, can offer the Ameircan tourist everything that the other beach destinations can offer and more; the mystique of being located in one fo the most interesting and least known country in the world."

"Sanya features beautiful beaches, clean air and water, interesting cultural sites and feel fo the REAL China and maybe most importantly (and surprisingly); a beautiful 5 - star beachfront resort with American management."

"When I used to think about China, I always wanted to go but was very afraid of the stigma attached to it.  Not only is this not accurate, in fact this country is booming, teeming with unbridled capitalism and complete freedom to experience the country on your terms, going where you want, when you want."

"The last reason (and maybe the best) for visiting the Gloria Resort Sanya; We have the best Cheeseburgers this side of L.A.!!!!!  But there is only one way to find out for sure, C'mon down!!!!!"
