## Our read

Sanya is full of beach hotels. This one is specific because the water you think you booked may not be the water in the room. Dadonghai is a bay in the city, at 12 Yuhai Road, so the arrival is a drive to a known beach, not a transfer to a private island. An ocean balcony and a private pool are printed as categories. Fresh is the restaurant they put on the sand. Come if you have named the pavilion or the villa, and you want that beach table. Skip it if any sea-view room would do, or if you wanted Guangzhou, where the reason to travel is a two-star Cantonese room in Tianhe.

## Come here for

- A named pool: Pool Pavilion, Oceanfront Pavilion, or a pool villa
- Fresh, the restaurant they set on the beach
- Dadonghai as a city bay, not a remote island

## Skip it if

- You booked a room and assumed a private pool. They say you have to request one.
- You wanted the two-star Cantonese room in Guangzhou. That hotel is on Tianhe Road.

## The place

Mandarin Oriental, Sanya is at 12 Yuhai Road, Dadonghai, Sanya, Hainan 572000. The hotel phone is +86 (898) 8820 9999. They place it on the southern coast, in Dadonghai, which is a city bay, not a remote island you reach by boat. Rooms, pavilions, suites, and villas are different buildings. An ocean view is a request: Ocean View Rooms, Ocean View Suites, and some pavilions have the balcony. A private pool is also a request. They name the Pool Pavilion, the Oceanfront Pavilion with a plunge pool, the Ocean View pool villa, and the South China Sea pool villa. A standard room does not come with that water. Fresh is the beachfront restaurant, set by the ocean. The dining list also includes Mee & Mian, Sunset Bar, and Yi Yang. A beach table, a plunge pool, and a city-bay address are the three facts that stop this being confused with a remote resort or with Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou, which is a tower in Tianhe. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.

## What it is like

- The bay: Dadonghai, 12 Yuhai Road. The beach is in the city.
- The pool: Named pavilions and villas. Not every key.
- The view: Ocean View is a category you request. It is not assumed.
- The sand: Fresh is the beachfront restaurant.
- The other hotel: Guangzhou is a city tower and a two-star Cantonese kitchen. Not this beach.
