Seaview Hotels in Lingshui

Clearwater Bay is one of the few clean and pristine beaches near Sanya these days, and we once again chose the Raffles Hotel. Before we even checked in, the hotel arranged for our butler, Wendy, to contact us. Her ”welcome home” greeting immediately made us feel at ease. Although the hotel was fully booked this time and we didn't get an upgrade, the room size was ample and the layout sensible. Despite its age, the quality of the furnishings was good, and details like the air conditioning and blackout curtains were well-thought-out. The breakfast quality was excellent, standing out among Sanya's top luxury resorts. The beach was flat and clean, free from bothersome hawkers, and the water was crystal clear, giving it a 'glassy sea' appearance that far surpasses Haitang Bay. The hotel's photography team is professional and highly recommended. Furthermore, all drinking water has been switched to Elix, showing their commitment to environmental protection, even at a cost. We hope to see continuous improvements on our next visit.

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.

This hotel is located in Lingshui Clear Water Bay, and the location is excellent; it's right across the road from the beach. The hotel is very large, and the rooms are spacious too. I'd like to thank the front desk for upgrading my room type, which now offers a view of the large swimming pool. The hotel boasts a super-sized swimming pool, a kids' club, a gym, and more. My kids absolutely loved it; they swam to their hearts' content and had a fantastic time. The breakfast was also very rich and diverse, featuring local specialties like Hainan noodles and Lingshui sour noodles. It's highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back to stay again!
