5-Star Hotels in Lingshui

This is a beautiful hotel, though it feels a bit like a maze and I often got lost, especially since the public areas are shared with other hotels. The first night it rained heavily, which was a shame because our beach trip was canceled. But it's okay, we're at the beach every day anyway. Cathy was great, very responsive to our requests. It rained again on the second morning, but thankfully it cleared up quickly and the kids' pool opened, which finally made my child happy. I'd suggest the hotel be a bit less strict about breakfast for children. Most family-friendly hotels I've stayed at usually include breakfast for two adults and one child, even places like Atlantis do. Our child mostly eats staple foods, and paying extra really feels a bit unreasonable. Overall, we're satisfied. Thank you!

This was my first time staying at the Kimpton Lingshui, and as a new hotel, it’s filled with an artistic vibe everywhere you look. From the lobby to the rooms, all the furniture and amenities are meticulously designed and crafted – truly beautiful, perfect for anyone who loves taking photos. The pool is also excellent, and they even have a lazy river, which is really fun! The dining quality exceeded my expectations, especially breakfast; it’s rare to find so many small pastries that are both pretty and delicious. The seafood at the buffet dinner was also top-notch 👍. Additionally, the personalized butler service was incredibly thoughtful. Winnie added me on WeChat even before check-in, providing a lot of relevant information. During my stay, she proactively helped us with meal reservations and activity bookings, which significantly enhanced our travel experience. We even received a very cute farewell gift at checkout, which made me so happy! 🥳

I stayed in a full sea-view king room, and the hotel staff were very thoughtful. They arranged a high-floor room based on my special request, which offered a truly expansive view. It's super close to the sea; just a 3-minute walk downstairs to the beach. The beach was almost deserted, feeling like a private paradise. So, in terms of sea views and convenience, it completely holds its own against established hotels in Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay. What's more, the hotel's room facilities are very new, which really sets it apart from many hotels that opened in the early 2000s or 2010s. As for service, the hotel team is young but very patient. A staff member (an older sister) brought water to our 9th-floor room several times, and her attitude was consistently excellent – a big thank you for her hard work! The service was also incredibly thoughtful; sometimes they anticipated our needs even better than we did. While waiting for our ride to leave, a staff member proactively came over to offer two bottles of water, reminding us about the heat and the risk of heatstroke. The biggest advantage is definitely the price. For the same room type, sea view, and service, you'd easily pay 1500+ RMB per night at other hotels, but here it's only 500-600 RMB per night. It's an absolute steal for students, definitely a 'go for it' kind of deal! 👌🏻 The only slight downside is that the beach hasn't really been developed, so it's quite rough. For this, you could consider taking a taxi to nearby Qingshuiwan during the day, which is only about a 20-minute ride.

Given that the duty manager upgraded me to a fantastic room and had a great attitude, I really should have given a perfect score! And I initially thought I would. However, starting with breakfast on the second day, it was all downhill in terms of service! 1. No one guided me to a seat at breakfast, and the various food stations were chaotic and disorganized. If you wanted Eggs Benedict, you had to actively ask the chef; there was no one to tell you it was an option. 2. The 'smoked salmon' looked bright red with tight grain and tasted woody, making me suspect it was smoked rainbow trout disguised as salmon. 3. The beverage area had a coffee bar, but items like Americano were not labeled, leaving customers to guess. 4. The seafood congee had no seafood in it. I had to put the bathtub liner on myself, and the promised three packets of bath salts were missing. After finishing my meal and signing the bill at the Thai restaurant, no one said goodbye. Rarely did staff members greet me or smile and say hello when passing me in the hotel. The front desk staff were unenthusiastic when I checked out, not even a simple goodbye. The most important thing was that I had told the duty manager the day before that I was going to Shanghai the next day and my checkout time was 3 PM. Yet, at 12:30 PM, the front desk called my room asking if I needed to extend my stay and what time I would be checking out. I was sleeping at the time, and the call completely ruined my nap. Undeniably, Capella's hardware, bedding, and garden views are top-tier in Sanya, and the facilities are well-maintained. If we're talking purely about comfort, Capella is undoubtedly an excellent choice. However, the overall service doesn't match the quality of the hardware and has significant room for improvement.

The room facilities were great, very new, and the service was excellent. Breakfast was also good, and children under 1.4m ate for free. The only minor inconvenience was that the changing area after a shower is directly connected to the room with no privacy screen, which was a bit awkward for a mother and son traveling together. Everything else was fine. The hotel is close to Boundary Island, but the immediate surroundings are a bit remote, requiring a taxi, rental car, or electric scooter to get around. Food delivery only comes to the ground floor. The pool has deep and shallow sections, but it was incredibly sunny during the day with no shade. When we went in late June, the resort pool was under renovation, which was a shame and disappointed the kids. The complimentary photoshoot offered by the hotel was absolutely terrible. The photographer was just phoning it in – a complete waste of time!

The smile and enthusiasm of the front desk staff made me feel very friendly. They also carefully introduced the hotel facilities and surrounding attractions to me. The layout of the room is very warm and comfortable, and the bedding is clean and soft, which made me sleep well all night. In addition, the room is also equipped with [air conditioning/refrigerator/safe, etc.], which greatly improved my accommodation experience. It is worth mentioning that the [Inner Mongolia specialty] here tastes great. In addition, thank you Piaopiao for your service. The service attitude is very good and impeccable. I will choose to stay next time.

Whether you're here for work or leisure, this place perfectly caters to your needs. From the moment I stepped out of the car in the lobby, the concierge diligently helped me with my luggage all the way to my room. Then, at check-in, 'Xiao Lan' at the front desk provided such thorough explanations that it made me feel completely at ease. I'll definitely bring my family next time!

A special thanks to Ms./Mr. Fang at the front desk (apologies if I misremembered the name) for proactively extending our check-out time to 2 PM when they saw we had children with us, and also for giving us a very practical souvenir upon check-out. Thank you!”]

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.

I specifically booked the Seaview Resort for snorkeling, but the room facilities were truly subpar. The 'snorkeling' just meant they provided some equipment; the instructor simply handed over a life vest and a mask and then paddled away, without explaining any safety precautions or guiding us. It was completely self-service. The mask was so blurry that I couldn't see anything underwater. I had to lift my head out of the water just to catch a glimpse of a few small fish, and the variety of fish was very limited. There were some manta rays, but not many. Overall, the experience was mediocre. However, I would still recommend staying on the island for one night. You could choose a different room type. In the evening, after the day-trippers leave, the island loses its hustle and bustle, and the island bathed in morning light is truly beautiful.
