Anantara Sanya Resort & Spa

The bedroom is very nice and clean, the swimming pool is clean and with amazing view, the breakfast is very good for both Western and Chinese, there is private access and use of the beach. The environment was extremely quiet with a wonderful view from the pool. Also the Thai restaurant was very good. Service overall was great, from a western point of view, having a western supervisor at the front desk made it much more helpful and welcoming for us.

Breakfast really good Thailand restaurant really good food and very quick service Swiming pool amazing relax and beautiful

I have to wait to check in half one hour. Room was not ready even if it was check in time.

It was very clean, the pool and surroundings are beautiful and the beach is very close. Room was beautiful and the staff were great.

It’s surprisingly quiet and calm in everything little detail. Staffs were helpful. The pool is also amazing open till 11 ish. And lots of activities offers during the days . If u r a yoga lover and love to have a quiet vacation u need to be here.

The breakfast is just optional . And honestly the equipment is a bit old. And there’s limit to choose near the hotel.

+ Breakfast had a good mixture between Chinese (soups, porridges, fried rice/noodles) and Western style (eggs, pretzels, pastry, sausages/bacon), the number of people was reasonable and the staff was detail-oriented. + Room was fabulous, silent, sparkling clean and had many amenities - including my favorite tea brand, after-sun lotion and bath salts. The hotel itself is mesmerizing with beautiful climbing plants and water mirrors. Our balcony faced the garden and it was peaceful. + Restaurants at the hotel were also beautifully decorated, we particularly enjoyed the barbecue on Saturday evening. + Pool and jacuzzi were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was really helpful - they even covered our bags when it started to rain. During the evening there were not so many people attending (especially children), so it was perfect to relax.

- It goes beyond the scope of the hotel and they do provide a good infrastructure; however, the beach is not the best (6/10). The water was clear in general, without waves, the sand was nice, and it wasn't crowded, but if you decide for this hotel, bear in mind that there are stones (we had brought our water shoes, so it was ok). We suspect it is an artificial beach, built on what used to be a reef, since there many dead corals on the shore and the beach is in a natural reserve. The water is also deep (therefore cold) and there were no lifeguards at the time, so parents with children should always be on alert. - On our last day, some boats came closer to the shore and apparently cleaned their nets in the bay. The beach was then infested with large amounts of plastic trash and algae, besides a layer of diesel - and God knows what else. We don't know how often this occurs and we couldn't enter the water on that day - but many did. Also, we are not aware of the enforcement of environmental regulations in Sanya, but it should be a case to be reported, especially by the hotels which rely on the beach to attract tourists. There were also officers in the area to notify irregular fishers on the shore, but we didn't see any approaching the boats.
