Check in Together with my boyfriend, I traveled to Sanya for about 1 week and we stayed in the JW Marriott. Due to my Platinum status for Bonvoy hotels, we were taken to the lounge for check in. The staff all spoke English and made us feel good from the very first second. Unfortunately we were too early in the hotel, but we could spend the time in the lounge until the room was ready.

Room
We were upgraded and had an amazingly nice room on the 6th floor. The room was on the ocean side and the view was indescribable. There was a balcony, king size bed, extra area for shower and bath (area had floor to ceiling windows, so you could bathe with a view of the ocean). New water bottles was provided daily and nothing was missing. Everything was very clean. Basically, there is a very high standard in the entire hotel, especially with regards to cleanliness.

Hotel
The hotel has no direct access to the beach but after about 5-10 minutes walk you can reach the beach. The beach was a bit crowded and rather touristy. The "nicer" beach is located at (Sanya Bay) (about 10 minutes by taxi). But we usually hang out at the huge pool, which was never much visited. There are couches and you can borrow towels for free. The pool area was always clean. The hotel has several restaurants and small shops.

JW Kitchen (breakfast and dinner buffet)
We had breakfast included in the rate. This breakfast left nothing to be desired. There was both western food and traditional Chinese food (rice soup, noodles, etc.). There were hot and cold dishes and different juices. Coffee specialties were brought directly to the table. There was also an Omlette station where you could individually ask for eggs dishes.
The evening buffet was just as thrilling as the breakfast. From lamb (Karé) to oysters from the grill, all imaginable dishes were offered. Among other things, there were specialties from Heinan such as Mussels, octopus and fresh fish. Drinks are included in the price (about 280 yuan)

Lounge
At this point we would like to thank all employees of the Executive Lounge once again. All together have let us experience the most beautiful vacation we have ever had. Since I often sleep in Marriott hotels, I had a good comparison to the German standard. The employees really exceeded all expectations by far. Special thanks to Vivian, Dirk, Zora, Leon and Miki. Whether at the afternoon cafe or dinner in the lounge, everyone was incredibly friendly and took time to get to know us. Especially with Leon and Zora, the talks have felt more like talking to friends. They read every wish from our lips and we just felt like home. Zora has often given us tips on what we can do in Sanya or recommendations for local restaurants.

The stay is remembered not only because of the great team and the beautiful hotel, but especially because my boyfriend proposed to me during the trip. And again, the lounge staff did so much for us that it really felt like you were visiting friends. My friend had planned everything together with Zora and Leon to surprise me. Together with Miki they then (while we were eating) prepared the entire room. I can not put into words what it means to us that they have really put so much effort to it and paid attention to the smallest details. Of course, I said yes and everyone congratulated the next day and were really so welcoming. This "service" really exceeded all expectations. Thank you for everything.

In conclusion, the only thing to say is that this was the most beautiful holiday we have ever had. The hotel is great, but the staff made the stay special. Thanks again to Zora, Leon, Miki, Vivian and Dirk. Thank you for everything. We miss you and will come back for sure.

The hotel is designed with very resort feel. Lobby and concierge staffs were friendly and helpful. Check in and check out were fast. Breakfast spread was good and wide variety. I specially like the egg tarts.
Room with sea view is spectacular and nice view from balcony. The room amenities provided are really nice. Specially like the body shampoo. The coffee in room provided is also not bad.
Location is not as convenient. Need to take cab to go city, or walking at least 15mins. This hotel has no own beach and need to walk far to get to the beach.
Cleanliness of the room, a bit doubtful as we only discovered both our sons got bitten with bed bugs after we left the hotel.
Chinese restaurant in the hotel, food and service very disappointing. We found string in the food and informed the service staffs, they didn’t really apologies. We also noticed that restaurant was not busy (3 tables with less than 10 guests) but the service was real bad. We couldn’t get service staff to put order. It was difficult to find the service staffs.
Overall this hotel is average.

Dear Valued Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments and valuable feedback following your recent stay at JW Marriott Hotel Sanya Dadong Hai Bay.

As a valued customer, it was disappointing for you to get the negative experience regarding our Room Cleanliness & Restaurant service issue. With aspiration to exceed guest expectations, we have unfortunately fallen short of this goal during your recent stay.

Your valued feedback highlighted some areas need to be improved like quality of food & service and problem resolve skill as well as staff knowledge. I have already shared the vital information with Executive Housekeeper, Food&Beverage Director and Hotel Management, who join me in offering apologies for our team’s shortcomings. As for this case, we have investigated it and will carry out proper approaches to room cleanliness issues and Chinese Restaurant service issues.

Thanks again and we hope you choose to stay with us again whenever your travels bring you back to Sanya so that we can provide you with a premium welcome experience that not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

Overlooking the South China Sea, the JW Marriott in Sanya is welcoming and captivating. Our group stayed in executive level rooms which allowed us access to the executive lounge. The views from our rooms were beautiful. Rooms are narrow but clean and modern. An issue that has become a problem at some hotels in China is noisy rooms— walls, ceilings and floors are thin and poorly insulated. The executive lounge is spacious and offers beautiful views. The cuisine was surprisingly good but breakfast is not offered in the executive lounge — a problem when trying to have a breakfast meeting with unruly and noisy children running around! The staff needs to be better trained... some hover over guests with little or no purpose. Others are oblivious! Our group has chosen this hotel for our stays in Sanya. We recommend it.

JW Marriott certainly deserves its name and brand. My husband and I had a good experience at the hotel. We were celebrating our anniversary and the hotel had so courteously gave us a bottle of wine and decorated the room. Certainly appreciate this kind touch. The room was so well kept and well maintained. Kudos to housekeeping. The reception staff were very polite and professional; check-in was a breeze. We would certainly come back to JW Marriott Sanya again.
