Lingshui Hotels with Breakfast

This is my second time back at Kimpton Shimei Bay within six months. Honestly, as a hotel in Hainan, this is truly the first one that has ever made me want to make a special trip back twice in half a year 🌊 Having stayed at countless cookie-cutter mega-resorts in Hainan, I’ve grown to prefer these boutique, ”small yet refined” hidden gems. There are no bustling crowds, no waiting in line for elevators or meals, and the entire pace of the vacation slows right down. It’s the ultimate spot for young people looking to truly unplug and unwind in peace. The hotel’s aesthetic is on point from start to finish. From the lobby and public areas to the infinity pool and ocean-view terrace—even the lighting and shadows in the hallways are so textured and chic—every snap is Instagram-worthy 📸 You don't need to hunt down popular photo spots; just strolling around and clicking the shutter yields vacation shots brimming with atmosphere. For photo lovers, this is a massive bonus. I have to give a special shoutout to our host, Steven! 👍 The service was attentive yet perfectly understated. From the pre-arrival communication to various minor requests during our stay, responses were lightning-fast. He anticipated so many details in advance that we didn't have to worry about a thing. He never disrupted our holiday flow, yet always appeared right when we needed him. That delicate balance of service was just nailed to perfection. What really got to me, though, was the attention to detail. The in-room amenities and bedding are of top-notch quality, and you can feel the thoughtfulness behind so many subtle designs and small objects. It’s not the kind of resort vibe built on grand, massive facilities; instead, it tucks ”exquisiteness” into every single experience, truly perfecting the art of the boutique stay. Among all the hotels in Hainan, it might not be the most famous or the largest in scale, but it's the kind of place that wins you over completely the moment you stay. Low-key, textured, with stellar service, it effortlessly maximizes that relaxed, effortless holiday state of mind. I genuinely recommend this to anyone who wants to skip the crowds and just find a cozy spot to lie back and watch the ocean. Next time I'm in Lingshui, I will definitely choose to stay here again ✨

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!

[Overall Experience] The suite is located relatively close to the beach, and being on a high floor with no obstructed buildings, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer direct views of Clear Water Bay. You can see the ocean from the balconies, and the bedroom balcony lets you fall asleep to the white noise of the waves. The hardware is quite good; the two-bathroom layout is very family-friendly with kids. It shares most public areas with the adjacent Kimpton. The indoor kids' club is suitable for toddlers around 3 years old. The sand on the beach is fine and soft, and watching the sunset in the evening is a wonderful experience. [Room Facilities] Overall, it has a minimalist, light-luxury, youthful vibe, but the finishing touches are a bit sloppy and shouldn't be scrutinized too closely. We stayed in a One-Bedroom Ocean View Suite—a spacious 96 sqm with a separate living room and two bathrooms. The bathroom is very large, but lacks surface space for belongings. There is only a single vanity, and the bathroom is separated from the bedroom only by a curtain. An amenity list is provided for borrowing items. The first round of mini-bar drinks and snacks is complimentary, along with welcome drinks. Soundproofing in the room is quite good. [Facilities, Dining & Service] The indoor kids' club, children's pool, lazy river, and leisure pool were all huge hits with the little one. Breakfast is served with an ocean view; the Hainan local flavors are quite good, though the variety is somewhat limited. We were contacted by our dedicated butler, Riley, the day before check-in, who arranged and decorated the room in advance. Since we informed the hotel ahead of time that we were traveling with a toddler, they thoughtfully prepared children's amenities. Service response times were prompt, and requests were met almost instantly.

The front desk staff, especially the 'mermaid' lady, was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. The hotel environment is quiet and comfortable. It's not far from Chiling Resort, where you can go mudflating on the rocky beach. During low tide, you can bring a small bucket to catch crabs and collect shells, and also enjoy the 'Orange Sea' sunset. The whole place has a wonderful fishing village vibe, perfect for a vacation.

We had a wonderfully comfortable two-day getaway, and this was my first stay at Capella, which left a fantastic impression. I'm already looking forward to checking out the soon-to-open Capella Nanjing next. First, the service: Blacky, our Cultural & Travel Ambassador, made our stay incredibly warm. From daily chats to handling our requests, messages were always answered instantly, morning or night. Blacky patiently introduced and deeply recommended various explorations and special activities, making our itinerary rich and fun. They were always eager to help without being intrusive, and this genuine warmth created unforgettable holiday memories. At Silk Road for breakfast, the restaurant manager enthusiastically introduced us to a tamarind latte, a local specialty. Even if it might not be a standard menu item, their eagerness to share local cuisine and hotel specialties, and to create surprises for guests, deeply touched me. The special blend was perfectly balanced with sweet and sour notes and excellently presented. These unexpected delights made for precious holiday experiences. Regarding the most important aspect of a holiday – the accommodation experience – the bedding quality was superb. After staying at numerous major brands for business travel, Capella Tufu Bay, Hainan's bedding comfort is one of the best, absolutely worth experiencing. As a resort hotel, it was pitch dark when the curtains were closed, and the soundproofing was excellent, allowing us to easily sleep until we woke up naturally and still make it to breakfast before 11 am. The hotel grounds are extensive. While I'm no architecture expert, I adore plants. The landscaping choices and arrangements are exceptionally well-thought-out. Compared to most hotels with limited, often dense plant varieties, Capella Tufu Bay, Hainan features everything from high-reaching traveler's palms and regular palms, to mid-level broadleaf shrubs, and various ferns at ground level, all arranged in a naturally staggered way. We could call for a buggy anytime, anywhere on the grounds, but I preferred to stroll through this private, secluded garden, enjoying both shade from direct sunlight and the fragrant aroma of plants. The main pool is open until 10 PM, allowing for plenty of water play even after the hottest part of the day. Paddleboards and magic carpets were freely available and a hit with the kids. The heated pool is a 25-meter standard lap pool, and the gym is fully equipped with cardio and strength training machines, plus a ping-pong table and tennis courts – more than enough options for a holiday. My favorite part was the complimentary access to the dry sauna, steam room, massage pool, and snow room at the spa. It was a wonderful experience; my skin felt much smoother after alternating between hot and cold. For dining, the fruit Danish at Silk Road's breakfast is a must-try. Their custard cream is silky smooth and not overly sweet – I want the recipe! I also recommend ordering a bowl of Yi Mein noodles with wontons and adding a generous scoop of 'zaopocu' (a local sour vinegar) to create your own 'zaopocu' wonton noodles – everyone should give it a try! Sabai Sabai, the Thai restaurant, has excellent online reviews and was generally good. Their peanut sauce is delicious, but a word of caution: the curry beef ribs curry contains a significant amount of peanuts and has a very strong peanut base, which is quite unusual. If you're not a fan, I suggest choosing other curry options like chicken curry or crab curry. We opted for the basic room type this time, and the overall experience far exceeded our expectations. The spacious nearly 90-square-meter interior, convenient buggy service around the resort, extensive activity schedule, and consistently meticulous hospitality meant that, apart from potential differences in room views and amenities based on booking, there was essentially no sense of a 'basic room' compromise. The baseline quality is exceptionally high. I'm really looking forward to experiencing their villa suites when I visit next year.

The room is very clean and spacious. It is close to the beach for watching the sunrise and catching the sea. It is about 100 meters to the beach. You can see monkeys on the roadside on the way to the homestay. You can eat at the homestay. The fried chicken and tomato scrambled eggs are very delicious. Seafood needs to be booked in advance with the boss, so I didn't eat seafood. The shrimp porridge for breakfast is very delicious. The store also provides tools for catching the sea.

I originally booked through Douyin, but they raised the price last minute because I didn't make a reservation. So I ended up booking through Ctrip instead. The room, while a bit dated, was still quite clean and spacious. The only downside was that the beach was full of dead fish, which caused a faint, fishy smell to permeate the hotel. I'm not sure if it was due to a typhoon, but it's strange because other beaches I visited didn't have any dead fish.

The hotel grounds exude a strong tropical vibe, with tall coconut trees and vibrant tropical greenery lining both sides of the paths. Strolling along the smooth walkways offers a continuous panorama of a soothing island landscape. You can walk directly to the hotel's exclusive, extra-long private beach, where the entire coastline offers an open, unobstructed view. The crystal-clear sea, combined with the blue sky, white clouds, and distant mountains, creates a breathtaking scene. The beach is uncrowded, so you don't have to jostle with people. You can quietly wade in the waves, take photos, and gaze at the sea, feeling completely at ease and relaxed.

The Wyndham Lingshui Clear Water Bay Resort, despite being open for ten years, still offers a very good overall stay experience even though some facilities show their age. Its location is outstanding, making it incredibly convenient for self-driving to various attractions in Lingshui with short commute times. The biggest highlight of the hotel is that your room card grants access to the back garden. The garden boasts beautiful landscaping and features a swimming pool. Walking through the garden leads directly to the beach, where the rocky shore is perfect for kids to go crabbing, and the scenery is absolutely stunning. To be objective, there are a couple of downsides: The hotel has a semi-open design, with the lobby entrance wide open, which means it doesn't feel cool enough when you enter during the summer. The guest room corridors are also open-air, making them a bit stuffy and hot around midday. The buffet breakfast selection is somewhat limited; it would be even more perfect if they could expand the variety and improve the quality of the dishes. Overall, it's ideal for family vacations, especially if you're traveling by car. The private beach and garden are significant bonuses.

We stayed here as a family with young children, and this Marriott is perfect for a family trip. It features a dedicated kids' pool and a huge indoor playground where the kids can play for hours. The room has a balcony with a great open view, and the bathroom has a wet-and-dry separation layout with fully equipped amenities. The beach is right at the doorstep, perfect for taking the little ones out for a stroll and enjoying the sea breeze in the evening. The front desk even proactively provided children's amenities—such thoughtful service. The resort boasts fantastic landscaping with tropical greenery everywhere, creating a relaxing overall atmosphere. Our whole family had a very comfortable and pleasant stay.
