Sanya Marriott Yalong Bay Resort & Spa

Great Experience – Spacious Rooms, Lovely Beach & Amazing Food

This hotel is fantastic! The room was very spacious, and the beach and pool area were beautiful. The service was excellent, with consistently thorough room cleaning, and both the breakfast and dinner buffets at the Marriott Café restaurant offered a wide variety of delicious options.

From the stylish, immaculate grounds and stunning sunset views to the delicious breakfast soups and impeccable service,

The staff are super friendly and support you the way you want. Great places for family vacation

WiFi connection strong. Hotel room neat and tidy. Check in and out were smooth and quick. Beach was clean. A few pools for people to choose from. Breakfast was not bad but too busy at peak times that the hotel is struggling to manage. Staff were mostly very friendly. Had dinner at the Chinese restaurant but their champagne glasses had a toxic smell which is totally unacceptable.

리조트 시설은 최근 리모델링을 한듯하여 깔끔하고 좋아요. 다만 야롱완에서 시내가 많이 멀고, 리조트 안 부대시설이 딱히 많지 않아 다음 싼야 방문때는 대동해 쪽에서 묵으려고 힙니다.

Nice , quite and peaceful area!
