Snorkeling directly on a coral reef was great. The food was way too expensive so very few seemed to eat at the hotel and ordered food in. The breakfast buffet was top notch!

Where do I begin. I am as shocked at the state of my room. In need of a serious refurb. Some parts were dilapidated. Window blinds threadbare etc. it definitely should have a mandarin oriental brand and seriously begrudge paying the rate I was charged. Doesn’t compare to the other sister hotels

Beautiful, quiet, friendly

The complex is a little jaded but the guest service is the best I have ever experienced..and I travel a lot. All staff very friendly and the whole place was extremely clean.

2nd time staying at the same resort and actually the same room. Great environment and friendly staff. Stayed in the resort for all 4 days!

Very accomodative and relax environment overall

This is the Mandarin Oriental at $300/night, so of course I hold them to a higher standard. The hotel room and views were amazing - the grounds are nice, and the amenities are great. But the service isn't what I'd expect from a 5-star hotel. The foreign staff were great: Mihai at the reception helped get us into our room when it seemed the Chinese staff were bumbling through our check-in process, and went out of his way to make things go smoothly, especially at check-in. Seems that as Chinese hotels have cut back on foreign staff, the service has decreased, with several small but noticeable moments that stood out: 1. Withing 5 minutes of checking into our room, a service worker arrived unannounced and had to come in to change a lightbulb - something that should have been taken care of before our arrival, and certainly could have come with a phone call to warn us. 2. We stepped out of our room and noticed an emply cart passing, and asked "Can you please take us to the beach?" The driver simply said "No." and drove off... Was kinda surprised that he didn't at least offer to call us a ride. 3. At the restaurant "Fresh", the staff were fairly clueless as to how to describe the portion size, and struggled to open a bottle of beer. 4. At breakfast they took our orders for coffee, and after 10 minutes no coffee had arrived. I put in a second order, and they got very nervous and put some urgency in delivering our coffee - when it arrived it wasn't the right order.

Plesant stay.

Great choice for rest & relaxation. Secluded & private. Good selection of food & wine. Service is awesome. Not enough beach chairs on sand for hotel of this size. Also, beach is very rocky compared to rest of Sanya.

The staff service was just amazing. Special mention to Cathy at breakfast who served with such warmth and enthusiasm, even preparing us some fruits for our excursion, and also Francis from reception who even came out to greet us goodbye at the end of stay. The whole team from buggy staff to reception to restaurant was young and hospitable. Excellent facilities and the convenience to downtown, yet secluded on a private beach, makes Sanya Mandarin a top 5-star hotel!
