Sanya hotel prices are high, and the reason we chose Banyan Tree is because it has private villas with competitive prices compared to many other large international chains. Thumbs up for privacy offered; however, the hotel itself is starting to age, and some touching up is necessary. Dining options are at a minimal - basically just one restaurant - and after 2 meals you start to get bored. I would suggest you to choose this hotel if you want a private villa with pool to yourself; however, if you don't mind staying in a room, then go for the newer hotels.
