Hotels in Lingshui with sea view​

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.

The top-tier hotels in Hainan live up to their reputation, and Capella certainly didn't disappoint. Capella is located in Tufu Bay, which is quieter compared to Sanya's Haitang Bay and Lingshui's Qingshui Bay. The hotel has a limited number of rooms, but the decor exudes an 'old money' aesthetic – very upscale. The greenery is exceptional, making it easy to walk anywhere within the hotel, though there's also a shuttle service. Strolling around after a meal is quite pleasant. The entire hotel features numerous circular ponds and lush lawns, offering picturesque views at every turn, perfect for photos. Compared to other luxury hotels nearby, Capella has fewer people doing photoshoots, making it relatively peaceful and truly relaxing. It's an ideal place to spend a few days simply unwinding. Lounging in the lobby and gazing at the circular skylight is also very comfortable. The bedding is excellent; the duvet and sheets are incredibly soft and skin-friendly, providing great comfort. The towels are gray, which feels more sophisticated than pure white. I also thoroughly enjoyed the hotel's fitness facilities. I tried the large pool by the beach, the smaller pool at the spa center, and the hard tennis court. The gym is spacious and well-equipped with machines, dumbbells, and a yoga room. Overall, it's excellent. The tennis court even had iced towels and cold water prepared in advance, which was a thoughtful touch. I also visited the spa center, and the ambiance, aromatherapy, and massage techniques were all first-rate. The hotel's Thai and Chinese restaurants are both distinctive. The Chinese restaurant was particularly considerate, offering half-portions for solo diners, which was very thoughtful. Finally, I must extend a special thanks to our butler, Linda. She was attentive and enthusiastic in introducing the hotel, provided welcome fruits and coconuts, prepared Qingbuliang (a traditional cooling dessert) for me after my workout, and was incredibly responsive to all my requests. She was truly outstanding.

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!
