Mangrove Tree Resort World Sanya Bay (Buddha Tower)

This hotel is incredibly comfortable with spacious and scenic rooms. The staff is extremely friendly, offering a warm welcome from check-in with delicious tea and a bowl of fresh fruit in the room. I'll definitely be choosing this hotel again when staying in downtown Sanya.

The hotel from which due to its price and some other reviews we expected the least, turned out to be the best to a point that if we ever decide to go back to Sanya it would probably be one of our top choices. We only booked for one night before our early morning flight but it turned out to be a very positive surprise. Mangrove resort is a set of separate towers making a circle inside of which is a water park and a lot of bars, shops and restaurants. Each tower has its own pools, which in case of Buddha Tower were located on the third floor terrace and were quite decent although I guess in peak times they might feel too small for all the rooms in the tower. Still when we used it, it was more than okay. The rooms are a bit old, shower door is creaking like it has serious arthritis, but overall it was a good and very functional room with a nice view of the pool, water park and the inner courtyard. High point of this place is that it feels like you and your kids could do something here for days. Bars, restaurants, live music, pottery workshop, a really cool dinosaur museum, water park, art workshops and probably more we haven't even discovered are all inside the resort's area.

It’s a great place to travel with kids. I had a great stay. I will definitely come back.
