Thanks to you and the hotel thank you note. I do not expect any compensation or whatsoever from the cheating driver or the dragon boat restaurant. Just let the others know and be careful that's all.

Best regards

Just to add on the dinner place is at Dragon Boat, Dadonghai. The driver Mr. Chen knew them. Have more info about the driver if you need.

Will use travelchinaguide for future booking and be more careful the next time.

Thanks for the email.

We did enjoy Hainan except for an unforgettable experience the seafood dinner that caused us CNY2,145 on 12 April 2009 which is S$450 (for 4 persons). So far this is the most expensive dinner we had so far and after visiting many countries (United States, European countries - Switzerland, Italy, Paris, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, and South Africa etc.)

1. BaoHua - the hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Easy to move around.

2. Booking through Travelchinaguide is simple and response is good. Recommended.

3. You could use comments to publish. Please warn others about my special dinner that cost a BOMB.

Anyway, just for your info, the driver that took us to this dinner was recommended by Baohua staff. Driver, Mr. Chen (car number plate 3172) drove us from Haikou to Sanya on 10 Apr. Drove us for sightseeing on 12 Apr. all went well till he took us to this dinner.

I just like to say if without this dinner, I would strongly recommend Hainan as an attractive place to visit. It will take us a while to digest this kind of a dinner. Please warn others and hope you would be able to advise BaoHua staff not to use him. It will definitely affect the tourist industry in China.

Thank you and best regards
Claudia
