Sanya Marriott Yalong Bay Resort & Spa

It was our 2nd stay and this time it was absolutely perfect. One year ago we still complained about some small isuees, but the hotel even improved further in kids offerings and restaurant and bar service quality. Last small optimization wish: please put back the sunbeds to the kids pools. The sun chairs are also nice, but not as good as before.

Beautiful Hotel and Beach, but a Few Things Could Be Improved The hotel itself was beautiful, no doubt about that. There were quite a lot of Russian guests staying here during our visit. The hotel pool was lovely, and the beach was absolutely beautiful, with incredibly soft, fine sand. Unfortunately, swimming in the sea is only allowed within a small designated area, which is a bit disappointing. However, I understand that China has strict safety regulations. As someone who is Chinese myself, I actually appreciated this, but my European girlfriend wanted to enjoy a proper swim in the sea, which unfortunately isn't allowed here. Overall, we had a very good experience. The rooms are beautiful, and the resort has everything you need for a relaxing beach holiday. There are also some great places to eat just a short distance from the hotel. The main downside is that everything is overpriced. I understand that it's a Marriott, but charging 500 RMB for laundry seems excessive, especially when you're already paying around €200 per night. Another minor issue was the payment process when booking through Trip.com. The original payment remained on hold during our stay, but we had to pay the same amount again at the hotel. Trip.com refunded the original payment a few days after checkout, but having the same amount tied up twice was an unexpected inconvenience. MY RATINGS Room: 5/5 – Beautiful rooms with everything you need. Service: 4.5/5 – Great service, but some extras are expensive. Breakfast: 4/5 – Very crowded, but the staff replenished everything quickly. Hotel Restaurants: 3/5 – We tried the hotel's Japanese restaurant. The food was good, but expensive. Walk just 1–2 km outside the hotel and you'll find better and cheaper options. I'd consider the hotel restaurants a last resort. Pool & Beach: 5/5 – Beautiful pool and beach, although swimming in the sea is restricted. Overall, a beautiful resort and a great place to relax, especially if you're looking for a comfortable beach holiday. Just be prepared for higher prices and limited swimming areas in the sea.

Great location and service. No indoor pool. Best breakfast in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at Marriott. Even though not many staff members could speak English, they were very attentive and used a translator to communicate with us.  Breakfast is quite diverse, many options for everyone.  The territory around hotel is well maintained and very enjoyable. Would be happy to be back one day.

Everything was amazing! Kids enjoyed it so much! Big variety of food at breakfast! Very close to the beach!

Simply the best !!! Beautiful view, clean beach and all the territory ! Very friendly staff, good food ! Perfect facilities, the resort has everything that might be needed. Perfect for family vacation for a few days! Will definitely come back with my family !

LEO helped to choose the best ocean view room ever! Extremly beautiful sceneries and relaxed vacation experience 🥂🥂

Nice hotel and well maintained. Good spread of breakfast. The pool has many activities and the sand at the beach is very fine and clear.

If you want to enjoy nice beach , hotel , swimming pool this is the best location in Sanya . There’s some bbq and quick food 2 mins walking distance from the hotel. Outdoor swimming was was pretty hot all the time not sure whether it was heated or not cooled . When outside temperatures is 30 then it’s not fun to go in the hot pool . Overall it’s great hotel
