This seaside resort villa experience in Lingshui was simply amazing and must be given a 5-point review!
The villa is in an excellent location, within walking distance to the sea, adjacent to Boundary Island and Nanwan Monkey Island.
The overall design of the villa is unique, tropical style courtyard, one household, each with its own characteristics, the park is lush with green plants, one step at a time, the sense of resort atmosphere directly pulled full.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with oversized floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the garden and greenery. The bedding is soft and comfortable, ensuring good sleep quality.
The hygiene is impeccable, the room is neat and clean, spotless, the details are handled very well, you can see the staff's care.
The service is even better, the staff registers breakfast time in advance
The villa is fully equipped and high quality with a private pool in the courtyard
The surroundings are beautiful and quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, only accompanied by the sound of the waves and birdsong, which makes people thoroughly relax. Here, I really felt what is called the perfect seaside vacation experience, highly recommended to everyone!

Guest UserThe Kimpton Shimao Clearwater Bay is a six-star hotel that truly excels in every aspect, from its hardware and services to its intricate details and overall experience. This is not an advertisement, I genuinely mean it!
1. **Exquisite Design:**
The public areas are stunning, with picturesque views at every turn – a paradise for detail-oriented guests. Every corner is Instagram-worthy, feeling more like an art museum than a hotel. The rooms are top-notch, with excellent amenities. The most delightful surprise was the hand-painted glass art created especially for our anniversary, a truly thoughtful touch.
2. **Exceptional Service:**
* We used a secret phrase at the front desk and received a cute blind box and a commemorative pendant.
* The in-room ”treasure chest” was incredibly practical: it included a full sun protection set (sunglasses, sunscreen, aloe vera gel), nail clippers, eye masks, and more, anticipating all sorts of forgotten essentials.
* The Guest Relations Specialist, Vicky, deserves special praise! She contacted us by phone in advance and managed to upgrade us to a sea-view room despite the high occupancy during the summer. She also proactively arranged for the anniversary hand-painting and even sent us a Westie doll that we'd requested. Her warm and responsive service was truly touching.
* Sales Manager KK was efficient in recording our needs and coordinating arrangements, proving both professional and reliable.
3. **Fantastic Public Areas:**
The hotel's public areas are a veritable ”resort playground,” guaranteeing no boredom: in addition to various swimming pools, there's a lazy river, waterfall curtain, non-motorized water sports facilities, and more, complemented by numerous relaxation zones. Towels, mineral water, kickboards, and swimming rings are all readily available. There's even an e-sports area, which was astonishing. The overall greenery design is also aesthetically pleasing, and the outdoor public areas offer endless photo opportunities. My only regret is not booking an extra day.
4. **Abundant Dining Options:**
There are many restaurants, and we didn't have a chance to try them all. Our room included social hour, drink vouchers, and the in-room mini-bar, providing more than enough to eat and drink. To be honest, the breakfast was visually more appealing than it was flavorful, but overall, it was definitely above average.

The design, ambiance, and sea views in the common areas are unbeatable, easily making it one of the best hotels in Lingshui, Sanya, Hainan.
Service: All staff members were incredibly friendly, always greeting guests with a smile. I also noticed hotel managers actively supervising and welcoming guests.
Butler Service: I was particularly impressed with our butler, Wendy. She was always prompt in responding to messages, and all our requests were met.
Security: The hotel has excellent security, with guards patrolling and managing access. Even the beach entrance is secured, making it difficult for non-guests without a room card to enter.
Minor Drawbacks:
- The balcony door in the room was too heavy for children and elderly guests to open or close easily.
- During maintenance work in public areas, it's crucial to have clear barricades and signs to prevent children from accidentally wandering into unsafe zones.
- Some hotel facilities felt a bit dated, but I did observe staff actively maintaining and upgrading them, which is commendable.

Guest UserOur stay at Hainan Sanyue Hotel was a delightful surprise. The hotel exudes a strong moon-themed ambiance, surrounded by coconut groves, creating a tranquil and elegant environment. The rooms are spacious and airy, impeccably clean, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The balcony offers an expansive view of the beautiful sea. The resort facilities are comprehensive; the tropical rainforest water park and the 'Love Bunny' children's playground offer great fun. The infinity pool is perfect for photos, and there's a private beach within walking distance. The restaurant boasts a wide variety of dishes, and the breakfast selection is diverse and delicious. The staff are warm and attentive, check-in was efficient, and all our requests were promptly addressed. It's truly a perfect spot for a family vacation, and we'll definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Hainan.

Cons: The restaurant prices are too high and don't match the hotel's price point; barely anyone eats there. However, ordering takeout is very convenient. The pool is also too small.
Pros: This hotel offers genuine, front-row sea views. At night, you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. There are local fishermen by the sea selling their fresh catches of the day, and nearby street food stalls can cook them for you. I only discovered this after dinner, so I didn't get to try it, but it's definitely more reasonably priced and fresher than restaurant options. Strolling along the beach at sunset, with the sea breeze and waves, was absolutely enchanting. Kids can have endless fun collecting seashells, even if they're small. I've attached a few spontaneous photos. Overall, this place offers great value for money.

The last stop of Hainan Island Tour (East Line) - Lingshui. At that time, I also placed an order based on the high ratings. When checking in, the front desk lady was very enthusiastic and smiling, which made people feel very warm. I didn't expect that the subsequent housekeepers and service staff were also very enthusiastic and warm, and any problems were solved in time. Go downstairs and walk across the road to the beach, which is very convenient for taking children to play or strolling on the beach. The room is equipped with advanced facilities and electric curtains. It is clean and hygienic, and the hot water for bathing is also comfortable. If you drive by yourself, you can park your car in the underground garage, which is very convenient. Although there are not many varieties of breakfast, it is delicious. I recommend the noodle soup, which is delicious! The best thing is that you can lie on the balcony and watch the sea, absolutely!

Staying at Capella Sanya again certainly confirmed those familiar sentiments: once you've experienced Capella, other hotels just don't quite measure up. Even after staying at over a hundred five-star hotels, and thirty in Hainan, I still feel Capella offers the best stay. A special thank you to Chris, the cultural and tourism officer, and the travel photography team.
Improvements from our last visit:
1. Travel photography is now available, and the resulting photos are excellent.
2. The tennis court is now free and has no time limit. They even provide children's rackets, iced water, and iced towels – the attention to detail is superb.
3. Provided a dedicated car service to the station, greatly facilitating our journey to the next destination.
4. Used the gazebo for the first time. Especially after a fall that left me covered in sand, the gazebo's washing facilities were incredibly convenient.
5. Received complimentary champagne, making our 10th wedding anniversary feel truly special.
6. Had a dedicated discussion with the hotel management, which significantly deepened my understanding of the brand, making the stay experience more profound than superficial.
7. My child had the opportunity to play the piano and also saw the stunning high-altitude sea view of Tufu Bay, which is just as beautiful as Haitang Bay.
8. Experienced making my own cocktail at breakfast, something absolutely unheard of at other hotels, and it made up for a previous missed opportunity.
9. Children aren't allowed in the spa, but they can be looked after, which gave us great peace of mind.
10. The evening ceremony clashed with the crab-catching activity, but Chris, the cultural and tourism officer, took our child to catch crabs, allowing us to attend the evening ceremony without worry. This deserves high praise!
11. Received a full family souvenir gift. Every member was considered; in the past, souvenirs were only given to one person, but this time all three of us received one, which was a pleasant surprise.
12. The staff's service attitude has improved. The shuttle driver even came to our room door to pick us up, the pool lifeguard proactively called a car for us, and the manager conversed with us while kneeling the whole time. When we left, the car had driven quite a distance, but they were still waving goodbye.
13. There was an error in our booking, only reserving breakfast for one person, but the hotel provided a complimentary breakfast for the other person. Otherwise, the cost for an extra breakfast isn't low.
A few points that weren't as good:
1. The explanation for the evening ceremony was unpracticed, the process was chaotic, and the sense of occasion was diminished.
2. Several communications happened during meal times, affecting our afternoon tea and breakfast experience.
3. There were some issues with the room's TV and electric curtain buttons.
4. The hotel activity schedule was less entertaining; the activities weren't as fun as before.
Chris, the cultural and tourism officer, and his team provided a lot of information and suggestions. They truly consider the guests, making us feel at home. Only at Capella can you experience genuine butler service.

Lovely and spacious house, with friendly staff, nice medium size pool. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing stay. Could increase a bit the size of the menu for the local restaurant but there is quite a few nice options close-by (10 to 15 mins walks but pick up can be arranged as well). Overall very peaceful and I would highly recommend for those who value space and serenity.

Self-driving around the island in Hainan: Lingshui. Since I am traveling with my parents, I booked a family room... which is more suitable for families with children. If they are all adults, a suite or two rooms are more suitable~
About facilities
Parking🅿️: Although it is located in front of the hotel, it belongs to the public parking space of the adjacent store. There is no charge and there are almost no parking spaces. Since our model is an MPV, we still have to wait for a suitable parking space~
Room 🚪: Due to the renovation of the hotel, the normal-sized single bed and double bed, the bathroom, the sink, the toilet flush normally, the floor drains without odor, the shower head flushes and the hot water is normally equipped with disposable toiletries (dental set/shaving/care package) /shower cap)….There is no small refrigerator in the room. The TV channels are clear and there is free WiFi.
Regarding hygiene, hygiene at sight is acceptable.
Regarding the environment, there are teahouses and music restaurants in the external environment. If you don’t want to be disturbed, ask the front desk for a quiet room in advance. The internal environment is normal and the space is fully utilized.
Regarding the service, there is a proactive greeting at the front desk. High ⭐ hotel necessities~
Regarding catering, there are two breakfasts in the room. You pay the member price at the front desk and get an extra breakfast. Although you have to walk one floor to the breakfast floor, the breakfast content is very good. The taste is also very good. The service attitude is also very good.

Pretty good service apartment with a solid sea view. One of the balcony is converted into a bedroom, you literally wake up to the seaview. The surf shop double up as a front desk. Communication was easy. The toilet had an awkward translucent panel which was not fully covered by the blinds. More suited for couples, less so for families and friends. Overall, a good apartment within walking distance to several eateries next door.
