Sanya Sheraton, opened for 22 years, a tribute to master landscape architecture and sea views

As one of the "original top-tier" resort hotels in Sanya, the Sanya Yalong Bay Sheraton has maintained its position as a "classic brand" since its opening in 2002. Over the past 22 years, it has hosted Miss World pageants and international dignitaries, while maintaining a composed and elegant demeanor. Its classic design, ingenious maintenance, and constantly updated services have made it a timeless landmark on the Yalong Bay coastline. Upon entering the hotel, you'll feel as if you've stepped into a tropical botanical museum. The hotel's gardens were designed by the top international landscape design team, Belt Collins, with the "Symphony of Mountains and Seas" as inspiration, perfectly blending Southeast Asian style with the natural landscape. A hundred-meter-long coconut grove promenade resembles a green arch, and giant phoenix trees and bougainvillea intertwine to form a sea of flowers. Every turn reveals meticulously designed landscape features. The most wonderful thing is the seamless connection between the garden and the coast: passing through lush tropical vegetation, you'll suddenly see a 700m private white sand beach and emerald seawater. This "sudden enlightenment" is still the most classic visual memory of Yalong Bay. The hotel's most popular experience is undoubtedly the seafood buffet dinner with sea views. The 360° panoramic sea view captures the golden sunset of Yalong Bay, a live band plays laid-back jazz music, and the 30-meter-long seafood station is the real highlight. Freshly opened Hainan Hele crabs are full of creamy, rich roe, and the sliced East Star Grouper is as clear as crystal. The chef quietly reveals the secret: "We insist on using the same standards as 22 years ago, delivering fresh seafood directly from the fishing port every morning." When the salty aroma of the spicy fried mantis shrimp mixes with the sea breeze, you'll finally understand that the classic taste never goes out of style. Although the guest rooms retain the high ceilings and Nanyang-style wood trim from the beginning of the century, the details are full of clever and up-to-date ideas. Italian imported latex mattresses give the old guest rooms a sleeping experience that is not inferior to new hotels. Although the bathroom space has not been changed to the currently popular open design, it has been renovated with German Grohe hardware and marble to give it a sense of quality. The most surprising thing is the balcony view. No matter which room you stay in, you can see a distinct "three-layered sea view" when you open the window: in the foreground, there's the clear water of the garden pool; in the middle ground, there's the golden coast with swaying coconut trees; and in the distance, there's the seamless connection of the sea and sky of the South China Sea. The butler said with a smile: "Many guests specifically request the classic sea view rooms from when the hotel first opened. They say that the angle from which you see the sea here tells a story of the years." 📍Name: Sanya Yalong Bay Sheraton Resort 🔎Address: Opposite Yalong Bay Golf Club, Longhai Road, Yalong Bay International Tourism Resort
