Sanya Marriott Yalong Bay Resort & Spa

Traveling with two kids, the hotel upgraded our room, and the view from the room was absolutely stunning, with a panoramic view of the pool and the ocean! The hotel's facilities are relatively new overall, and the staff at all areas, including the restaurant, pool, kids' club, and beach, were incredibly friendly. A special shout-out to the butler service – their response time was super fast, and they even granted us a two-hour late check-out, considering our departure time. There are two small heated outdoor pools, which the kids absolutely loved. The unheated pool was a bit chilly, but once you were swimming, it wasn't cold for adults. Just outside the hotel, there's a lovely beach, and the hotel even provides umbrellas and loungers, making it very comfortable. I researched many hotels in Yalong Bay before, and choosing the Marriott was definitely a wise decision!

Before coming here, I compared several hotels near Yalong Bay. Online reviews mentioned that the Marriott was a bit old and dated. However, after arriving, I found it to be very good. The hotel is very large, and with such a big property, the management is clearly mature and time-tested. It's beachfront, with a clean beach, and the ocean is absolutely beautiful, displaying different colors at different times of the day. There are shaded chairs provided by the hotel on the beach, and the hotel has its own pool. There are also water sports available by the sea, making it perfect for a vacation. Breakfast is very generous, with fresh food, and some dishes change daily. I even had Cantonese dishes like beef offal, steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce, and steamed phoenix claws (chicken feet). We told the front desk that we drink a lot of water, and they made sure to send a large quantity of bottled water every day. Deliveries were also very prompt, showing great sincerity. Housekeeping cleaned our room meticulously every day. There were a lot of Russian tourists staying here, and the handsome men and beautiful women were a sight for sore eyes. If you have a good figure, you definitely won't be alone wearing a bikini here! The room has an outdoor balcony with a drying rack, perfect for drying swimsuits and clothes – they'd be dry by the afternoon if washed in the morning. If I get the chance, I'd definitely come back here purely for a vacation, enjoying the sun, sea, sand, and bikinis.
