Lingshui Hotels with Gym

The 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.

Here's my honest review. We booked a pool room with our child, and our butler, Iris, was a wonderful girl. She was always prompt in her replies and responsive to our requests. Many thanks to her for her care and attention over the past few days. Now, let me outline the pros and cons. **Pros:** The hotel is quite new, and not crowded. The dining areas and pools were also not busy. The kids' club is suitable for children under 8. The pool provides swim rings and anti-slip shoes for children, and the staff are polite. **Cons:** 1. The pool room had a strong, unpleasant fishy odor. The hotel actively tried to move us to another room, but the issue persisted. The compensation offered was only a dining credit, which wasn't even enough for three people. We were dissatisfied with this solution; for a three-night stay costing over 3,000, this resolution felt very reluctant and inadequate. 2. Hotel staff lacked proper training. When cleaning the pool, they used a large net that brushed against the wet bed. The smart toilet in the room was not smart at all; its buttons would light up automatically multiple times at night. The room clock was not set correctly and displayed the wrong time. Housekeeping did not clean up dessert containers or leftover coconuts. These are definitely not characteristics of a star-rated hotel. The pool's circulation system ran continuously at night, causing noise. I suggest they turn it off at night to save electricity. 3. Indigo and Kimpton are right next to each other. However, while Kimpton guests can use all of Indigo's recreational facilities, Indigo guests are not allowed to use Kimpton's golf simulator, cinema, or billiards room, even when these facilities are empty. This is an unfair rule, and it makes me question the communication between the two hotels. 4. We dined twice at Kimpton's restaurant for their buffet and at Hai Yu restaurant, and the food was delicious. Indigo's breakfast was also very good, but the restaurant staff did not remember guests' names or preferences. Every day felt like we were unrecognized, which is not up to the standard of a high-end hotel.

Today is our third and a last day at this wonderful, beautiful, and green hotel. Our booking included a transfer from the airport to the hotel. A very polite driver in a large minivan met us immediately upon exiting the airport in Sanya. Our journey was very comfortable. We highly recommend booking a transfer through the hotel. Before our arrival we contacted the hotel about the transfer. We were lucky – the Russian-speaking butler Anna quickly arranged everything and added us to the chat. From that moment the professional and helpful and just a wonderful girl Anna was always in touch, answering all our questions and requests and was always available throughout our stay. A big thank to Anna! The hotel grounds are spacious and beautifully maintained, surrounded by palm trees and beautiful greenery. Particularly impressive is the huge, well-kept lawn, which will remain green in the scorching sun. Every detail has been carefully thought out. The hotel is large, but very quiet and peaceful. Breakfasts are varied and delicious, both buffet and à la carte. Every day, there are six types of freshly squeezed juices, plenty of fruit and ice cream. Dishes from the à la carte menu are served quickly. They even have a durian soufflé on the à la carte menu. At 1:00 PM a small buffet snack is available at the western reception. Two coconuts with the hotel seal are provided daily in one room. We booked the Junior Bay Ocean Suite. It's a two-room suite with a larger balcony and a sea view. The room is fully equipped, including a Nescafé coffee machine, robes, slippers, a Dyson hairdryer, scales and more. There's a clothesline on the balcony, which is very convenient. I'm glad this hotel is eco-friendly: water is provided in paper bags, wooden toothbrushes, a wooden comb and paper packaging. The room was cleaned very thoroughly and twice a day! We have never seen anything like this anywhere else. Tea and coffee are refilled promptly. The free minibar is refilled every three days. Now about the sea: there are waves all the time, so there are very few swimmers. But we swam and loved the waves. The sandy beach is very clean, and the sea is a stunningly beautiful color. The beach is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, and you can always find one. The pools are great, but the depth is only 1.2 meters. This is convenient for children, as well as for non-swimmers. For those who can swim, the pools are shallow. The pools have two waterslides: one for very small children, one for older kids. Sun loungers are always available by the pool. Large beach towels are provided at the pools. There’s a tourist street outside the hotel just a 10-minute walk away with cafes and shops where you can try local food, tropical fruits, and even a shop selling durian, which you can also eat right there. We highly recommend this hotel. We'll definitely come back!

My daughter absolutely insisted on giving this a good review. As a family-friendly hotel, it's definitely up to standard. The hotel is filled with cute 'heart-hand gesture bunnies' everywhere, which really captured the kids' hearts. The room amenities and breakfast options all thoughtfully catered to children's needs. The kids' club, children's water park, three swimming pools, and a wide array of children's activities make it easy to keep the little ones entertained without any fuss. An added bonus is the hotel's beach, which is great for collecting seashells. If you're looking for a top-notch beach and ocean view, you can drive about half an hour to Clear Water Bay for a half-day trip.

Walking downstairs, through the pool and lawn, you reach the beach. The beach is very uncrowded. In the evening, you can catch some sunset views. The rooms are spacious, all facing the sea, with balconies and drying racks provided. The outdoor pool is shaded by the adjacent buildings in the mornings and afternoons, so it's not sunny (only for a short while at noon), which is fantastic; the water is warm and you don't get sunburnt. The kids' pool has bubble activities. The staff, including the cleaning ladies, are all very friendly. The chef at the restaurant is excellent; even simple stir-fried greens taste delicious. The breakfast is a bit simple, but sufficient. There are few restaurants and delivery options nearby. The hotel restaurant menu only offers a limited selection of dishes. Overall, it offers great value for money and is perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet by the sea.

My first trip to Sanya was absolutely stunning, thanks to Capella! It's definitely the top choice for families with kids, and the ocean-view room was breathtaking! This was our first time bringing our two-year-old to Sanya, and after thorough research, we chose Capella – and it proved to be the perfect decision! We stayed for a whole week, and the first 4 nights in the ocean-view room were simply amazing. Stepping out onto the balcony, you're greeted by an endless expanse of ocean. Waking up to that view every day put me in such a great mood. The room itself was incredibly spacious; even on rainy days, there was plenty of room for our baby to run and play. We could lay out several suitcases on the floor without feeling cramped at all. Capella's attention to detail was exceptional. Besides the routine morning cleaning, there was also a super ritualistic evening turndown service, with fresh towels and water replenished promptly. The main pool is fantastic for photos in swimwear! There were lifeguards on duty constantly, and they even helped inflate swimming rings. Towels were already laid out on the lounge chairs, so you could dry off immediately after swimming and avoid catching a cold. The sand on the beach was incredibly fine and soft; it felt so comfortable to walk on barefoot. Our baby loved digging in the sand so much that she didn't want to leave. And I must commend the Thai restaurant for its food! The grilled sea bass was absolutely divine, and the shaved ice was so refreshing in the summer heat. The service was also incredibly thoughtful; when we asked for plain boiled noodles for our baby, the kitchen prepared them for free. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes. That sour and spicy 'zaopo cu' (vinegar soup) was so appetizing; it felt like it could go with anything! It happened to be my and my husband's birthdays during our stay, and the hotel not only surprised us with a delicious, not-too-sweet birthday cake but also specially prepared longevity noodles for breakfast. It was both surprising and incredibly touching! The beachfront BBQ in the evening also had a wonderful ambiance, and we ate so much we could barely move. Most importantly, I want to thank our butler, Sky! She contacted us even before check-in, providing a super comprehensive map, details on the three ceremonies, and reservation guides. During our stay, she was warm, thoughtful, and meticulous. Any requests we had were handled incredibly quickly, and her responses were super prompt. Thank you, Sky, for your attentive care these past few days. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Sanya!

My expectations were not disappointed; it was a truly pleasant surprise. The boathouse has a unique and novel design, making it truly special. Breakfast was abundant, and listening to the sound of the waves was incredibly soothing. The hotel butler was exceptionally attentive, responding super quickly and fulfilling every request. They even provided recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants, showing great diligence. Furthermore, the hotel grounds feature charming bridges, flowing water, beautiful flowers, and palm trees—every step reveals a new scenic view. It was a perfect stay.

The room was spacious and bright, and the air conditioning was already on when we arrived, which was great service. The breakfast selection was a bit limited, perhaps due to it being off-peak season and cost-saving measures. The hotel facilities are quite complete, and it's very close to the beach – just a short stroll downstairs. There's a small bar on the beach where I enjoyed a drink every night while watching the moon. However, some of the room facilities are a bit outdated. The card slot for electricity was faulty. At 5 AM in the middle of the night, the TV turned on by itself, and the room lights kept flickering on and off, which was a bit spooky. I also heard a crackling electrical sound. Because of this, I barely slept the latter half of the night, worried that my child would be woken up. The TV kept turning on again, so I constantly had to turn it off. After turning it off five or six times, it was finally morning. I hope they regularly inspect the room facilities, otherwise, it really affects the sleep experience.

This is a very nice hotel. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the bedding and pillows just right. There was also a great balcony., I would have liked a relaxing chair on there, but the furniture was okay. The service is excellent, the people are very friendly and extremely helpful. The pool is nice and clean, the yard is very pretty. The gym is a bit outdated and could do with a makeover and a location other than the dark cellar. Nearby is a pretty beach, a lovely park and an entertaining mall. If you take one of the siden street, you’ll find local shops. There is a bit of noise coming from the streets at night, but if you close the doors, it’s not too much of a bother and stops around 12:00 PM. Airconditioning is working really well. Had a great time, will visit again!

The room is big, very clean and tidy, the boss is very enthusiastic, the environment is very good, there is a commercial street nearby, it is very convenient to eat and drink, it takes less than ten minutes to walk to the beach, and there is a swimming pool downstairs. This weather is very suitable for playing in the water. If I didn't have to go back to work, I would be reluctant to leave. Hahahaha. Not bad. Recommended
