Marriott Sanya: A Perfect Compromise

Marriott Sanya Hotel Review is part of The Year of the Monkey Trip Report which covers the following places:

• New York, New York
• Bangkok, Thailand
• Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
• Jakarta, Indonesia
• Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
• Guangzhou, China
• Hong Kong
• Shenzhen, China
• Sanya, China

Initially, I couldn’t find a place to stay in Sanya (see Sanya, China: Struggling To Find Where to Stay). I ended up staying everywhere including:

• Four Points Sanya
• Sheraton Sanya
• Crowne Plaza Sanya City Center

The best of all of them was the Marriott Sanya.

Hotel Itself

This is a lavish property.

Beach Compromise

There was not a beautiful beach like the Sheraton, but there was a view of the water. If you’re coming for the surf, this will have to do.

Pool

There was a huge pool that I had all to myself. I was able to share it with many of my inflatable friends.

Suite

Status usually goes a far way in Asia.

Lounge

Status leads to lounge access. In Asia, that access usually means good food and drinks.

Breakfast

Status also includes breakfast.

Overall

I would stay at the Marriott because of its location and because of the pool. I would stay somewhere else for a beach as I did during this trip.
