Facilities: I really liked the room style at Langham, it was very bright and spacious. We booked a sea-view room, and the view was excellent on a clear day! The lounge on the 43rd floor was charming, though a bit small. The staff there were very good.
Breakfast: The food was decent and quite varied. The service from the male and female staff was also good.
Service: Ms. Julie has a sweet and warm voice! We checked in around 4 PM on the 6th, after heavy rain (check-in was on the 43rd floor, not the 1st). There were two ladies at the front desk at the time, whose names I remember but won't mention. One was new, the other seemed experienced. Neither of them greeted us or even made eye contact when we approached. The non-new staff member did arrange a quiet room for us, which met our request, but her attitude was cold throughout, making us feel quite uncomfortable. When we finished checking in, she didn't even point out the elevators to go up. Overall, this left us with a very poor first impression of Langham. We all work hard, but in the service industry, you should know how to treat guests; I shouldn't have to teach you as a tourist, should I? You could at least pretend for a few minutes. In short, the front desk service that day was worse than an Atour hotel.
Additional points: The swimming pool was very comfortable. The gentleman who helped with our luggage was smiling, very warm and professional – highly recommended! If I have the chance to visit Haikou again, I would still consider staying at Langham. For this price, getting such a comfortable room is already excellent (it would be even better if the pillows could be replaced with something similar to Atour's).
