We visited this resort in August 2011. Actually we were in awe when we saw the hotel. The location is almost a paradise-like place. The beach and pools are the highlights of Marriott. I think the pool system was the best i've ever seen - a big labirynth where you don't bump into the noisy Chinese who constitute the major... More

I read a lot of reviews on hotels in Sanya prior to our stay there and a lot of them mentioned that the food was overpriced, but I think that is an understatment when it comes to the Marriott. I had a tuna salad sandwich with cheap Chinese style potato chips and after resort fees and taxes it was close... More

I have been to this resort in Summer 2009 and 2010. The wow factor you get as you enter the resort is amazing. Seeing the view out of the lobby is breathtaking. Even going back a year later I got butterflies seeing it again. We had a sea view room the first time and then another view the second time.... More

My Ocean View room with King Size bed is spacious with good quality furniture. The walk-in shower in the bathroom has good water pressure. From the balcony the view of the sea, bay islands, beech and palm trees is idealic and the location on the golden sand beech is superb. Swimming is delightful in both the clean blue warm sea... More

This hotel blows away any hotel experience I have ever had in China. We were greeted at the door with drinks and brought to our room hassle free. Our room opened out into the ocean with an excellent view and the hotel amentiies were top-notch. The hotel isn't completely new but well kept and serviced. The private beach is also... More

This resort was awesome. I did not want to leave. It was the most comfortable bed that I had in all the places I stayed in China. I stayed in many budget hotels in some of the other cities in China, but decided to splurge when we stayed at the beach in Sanya. It was 'hot', and the South China... More

We were there on a slow month - the property was pretty empty of guests. The staff told us that during the busy months, especially in the summer, the beach could be standing room only. As is, after the Chinese New Year, the resort was virtually empty. Service everywhere was courteous and excellent, especially by US standards. In fact, I... More

Rooms are on the small side but clean and comfortable, Great view looking over the water, and restaurants were beyond my expectations considering it was a resort. The beach was great with a lot of waves, clean sand and plenty of chairs. The pool was also large with a lot of different sections with some parts offering more tranquility. The... More

Recently spent 5 nights at this hotel and will definitely go back. The island is stunning and is certainly China's answer to Hawaii. Things about the hotel we disliked were: 1. Room was disappointing..nothing like the pictures. Furniture looks quite tired and the bed was hard. Having been spoilt by Sofitel Wanda Beijing's supreme topper the preceding 5 days, our... More
