The Shanhaitian Resort Sanya Autograph Collection

A beautiful hotel that can be a great value and offers striking views of the ocean in comfortable, modern rooms. I had a two night stay here right after the Golden Week peak period. The hotel is strikingly designed from the moment you see it up to the individual rooms. Probably one of the best views in the area and along a stretch of beach that sees a lot less traffic. It's not the type of beach that you'll want to play on (more rocky than sandy) but a short walk away will be that type of beach. For Marriott elites, the hotel's breakfast is one of the better ones I've seen in China. And the best part is their breakfast policy, the hours last all the way until 2 PM which is great for those on vacation. The pools are fantastic as well, with excellent design and great vistas. I was very, very pleased with everything except for the fact that the gym is not 24 hours. If you want to use the gym at night, you'll have to go to the adjacent JW, which also offered reciprocal pool access to those at the Shanhaitian when I stayed there.

Hotel is good but the Google pin location is incorrect and some distance from the food places.

The staff at Autograph made this one of the best hotels we had ever stayed in. Eric, the manager was amazing, so professional and went out of his way to help us. Gavin, May and Fay made breakfast time really wonderful, went out of their way to add personal touches every morning. We highly recommend this hotel, ideal for swimming, gymming and close to the beach.
