5-Star Hotels in Lingshui

The Kimpton Shimao Clearwater Bay is hands down the best hotel I've ever stayed at in terms of service! Our family of two adults and four children was incredibly touched by the thoughtful details throughout our entire stay. The hotel's decor is exactly my style – that understated 'old money' aesthetic. The ambiance is sophisticated yet comfortable, and both the public areas and the rooms are incredibly photogenic. The kids' amenities were genuinely impressive; without even asking, they prepared a puppy plush toy for each of our four children, and also provided four sun protection kits. When I casually complimented how nice the hotel's fabric tote bags were, the staff generously offered me one on the spot – absolutely no stinginess at all. The kids' craft activities were abundant and engaging, keeping the children thoroughly entertained. Even more thoughtful, they proactively extended our check-out time until 2 PM, which was a huge relief for a family with multiple kids, allowing us to pack without rushing. It really enhanced our experience. The entire staff was gentle and meticulous, always ready to assist, and their thoughtfulness was evident everywhere. This is definitely the top choice for family vacations. I'll be staying here again on my next visit to Clearwater Bay!

Chose the Sansanyue Hotel for our Lingshui vacation, and the overall experience was very comfortable ✨. The resort has a lovely moon-themed ambiance with plenty of greenery, making evening strolls very pleasant. Our room was clean and tidy, with new facilities, and the bedding was super soft, so we slept really well. There are several swimming pools and an indoor play area, which the kids absolutely loved. The staff were very responsive; Amy provided attentive service, patiently answering all our questions and even proactively informing us about hotel activities. Many small details made us feel very well taken care of. It's perfect for a family getaway, and we'll definitely consider staying here again on our next visit.

The hotel's location is excellent, with a nice beach and views. Sharing a beach with Capella is a definite plus! 😂 Picture three is Capella taken from our corridor. It's not crowded here, so you don't have to jostle with others like in Sanya or Lingshui. If you like peace and quiet, this place is perfect. It's also very suitable if you're driving. The service follows the standard Hilton model. There are differences in room conditions; I booked two rooms, and one had a strong musty smell, which was odd for being on the same floor. The housekeeping staff were very good. Given the dense surrounding vegetation, it's understandable to have an occasional insect in the room. However, you should still be careful with rove beetles and ensure pest control is handled.

The rooms at Capella are arguably among the best even within the four top luxury brands. The bedding is very comfortable, and the breakfast is quite delicious. They offer braised beef noodles, sour and spicy wontons, and a wide variety of fruits. Children under 13 stay for free. The body lotion used is Bamford's classic Geranium. It's very moisturizing and not greasy at all, which is great. The service from our Culture and Leisure Manager, Alexander, was excellent. He was essentially responsive to all our requests. He proactively asked about my room preferences and helped arrange flowers 🌺 and a cake. This level of service was truly outstanding. On the first night, he even sent us a late-night snack of Qingbuliang (a refreshing dessert soup). Upon check-in, we received a coconut and welcome fruits. Although the weather wasn't great during our Qixi Festival stay, Capella is renowned for its overall hotel design, not its sea view, so it was acceptable. The pool was extremely crowded in the morning, which was a bit of a downside. Everything else was very satisfactory. My final suggestion is that the other dining options at Capella have a lot of room for improvement. The Thai food wasn't very good, and the Chinese food wasn't particularly appealing. Additionally, while these top luxury hotels focus on relaxation and leisure, they aren't really ideal for families with young children, though they do offer many parent-child activities, which is actually quite good. Also, Capella's spa is excellent and worth experiencing.

I was pleasantly surprised to find such a great value room during the summer holiday. The room was spacious and had a balcony. The front desk staff were very friendly and even provided complimentary breakfast. The swimming pool, while not huge, was perfectly adequate for the kids to have fun. The breakfast selection was rich and varied. It's also not too far from nearby attractions. All in all, I'm very satisfied.

The resort grounds are full of coconut trees, the pool is clean, and the greenery looks incredibly pleasant. The room was clean and spacious, and the bed was super soft – I had a great night's sleep. The breakfast spread was substantial, and the egg tarts were delicious. They also had sweet potato and corn balls, and the buffet was fully stocked. Both the lobby and outdoor areas were spotless, giving off a strong island holiday vibe. It's been raining in Lingshui these past few days, so the weather has been cool and refreshing, and the air quality is genuinely good.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. I booked a room in the North Tower, and it wasn't as damp as I'd imagined, even though it wasn't on a high floor. The beach is right down the stairs, perfect for finding crabs and surfing. The front desk service was just average. The check-in process was robotic, I was just handed the room card without any explanation of my booked package benefits. Then I was told to add a WeChat contact person, and I had to inquire about each package benefit individually when I wanted to use it. Thankfully, the WeChat contact, housekeeping, and dinner restaurant staff were all very nice. Breakfast was a bit chaotic, with no one guiding or arranging seating, so you had to find your own spot. As a result, we ended up eating outdoors in an uncrowded area for two days, which was a bit uncomfortable. Oh, and the area around the hotel is genuinely desolate. To find food, we had to drive to Haiyun Plaza in Lingshui multiple times. Parking at the hotel entrance was also a mess.

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!

The hotel is located in Greentown Bluetown, Clear Water Bay, a clean town with excellent landscaping. The hotel building itself is well-built, and the guest rooms are quite spacious, as are the balconies. The air conditioning in the room works great. However, the room amenities are pretty basic, not much better than a budget hotel. The bed was uncomfortable, and the toothbrush was really poor quality. Although the hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, the overall grounds aren't very large, so there's no real garden to explore. They don't even have a gym, which is unique among all the five-star hotels I've stayed at.

This is a great hotel. Our sea-view room offered stunning ocean views right from the window. The breakfast was decent. The large bed room is perfect for a family with two adults and one child. It's incredibly convenient to take the kids to the beach for swimming and digging in the sand, as it's practically right there. The hotel's off-season prices are reasonable, making it a good choice for those looking to travel during non-peak times.
