Find 5-Star Hotels in Lingshui

First and foremost, a big shout-out to our butler, Winnie, who was incredibly enthusiastic and highly efficient, always ready to help with our requests. The hotel itself shares public areas with the Indigo, and the public spaces are a bit small. This means the pool is always crowded, no matter the time of day. Although there was a queue for breakfast, we got in relatively quickly. The variety of food items was excellent and very impressive. The turndown service with cocktails and minibar replenishment every evening was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. My only minor complaint is that the bar closes too early, at 11 PM. Additionally, the staff at the Chess & View were very welcoming. They even changed the movie for us when there were no other guests, which was a nice gesture. However, the air conditioning in the cinema was too noisy, and the sound system was too quiet, so the experience wasn't as good as I'd hoped. On the other hand, there were several flaws in the room's design and functionality: ① They used a stone material in the bathroom, which is difficult to clean and maintain, leading to yellowing corners that looked less than pristine. ② The desk design isn't very office-friendly, with no convenient power outlet locations. ③ The TV didn't have any brightness adjustment settings. ④ The two small night lights on the balcony seemed to be malfunctioning.

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!

Had a terrible experience. Paid a premium price for the worst room type, and they kept making excuses, blaming it on a system issue and then saying it was for 'traffic generation.' The biggest problem was no hot water for showers. The staff claimed it was because too many people were showering at night, but even when I tried to shower again the next afternoon, the water temperature was still the same. Their attitude was very insincere. Ultimately, Ctrip had to provide a solution. I will never stay here again.

Having stayed in numerous hotels, including Capella Singapore and Capella Shanghai Jian Ye Li, Capella Tufu Bay now ranks very high on my list. There are three main reasons for this. Firstly, the exceptional service. Before my arrival, a travel and culture officer added me on WeChat. Luna thoughtfully arranged the airport pickup, and after check-in, she meticulously reminded us of the daily activities. On the day of check-in, besides Luna, another young man was also excellent. He enthusiastically introduced the room facilities, the unique features of each restaurant, and nearby attractions. When I mentioned that my husband enjoys tea, they immediately sent over a variety of black teas and a complete set of gongfu tea utensils. Capella pays great attention to detail; even the tableware at Tufu Bay is from an Italian brand with an impressive design. What truly delighted me were the bedding and pillows. The duvet was breathable, and I chose to replace the pillows with latex ones, ensuring a very comfortable sleep every night. The aunties who cleaned daily and provided turndown service were quick, gentle, and always accommodating. Whenever we walked around the hotel, the club car drivers would ask if we needed a ride, showing that the hotel's training for the entire team is very thorough! Next, let's talk about the food. My husband and I both loved Sabai Thai Restaurant and ate there for three consecutive days. Besides that, the breakfast at Silk Road Restaurant offered a wide variety of choices, with a corner featuring cuisine from a different country each day. Even the bread in the children's section was adorable. The hotel offers complimentary food all day. In the afternoon, there's an afternoon tea time with designated desserts and a self-service beverage model. The desserts included a cold drink, which I loved! In the evening, the lobby bar offers cocktails, followed by happy hour after dark with a live band, creating a wonderful ambiance. Finally, the abundant daily activities. For adults, there's fitness, sailing, spa, sachet making, and herbal pestle massages, while there are even more options for children, including childcare for younger kids and hands-on classes for older ones. Of course, travel photography is also essential. The photography studio is located within the hotel and offers makeup services, which is very helpful for someone like me who's not good at it. The photo results were also extremely satisfying. In summary, Capella Tufu Bay's welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home and allowed us to enjoy a wonderfully pleasant time.

Finally made it to the legendary Aloha Hotel, touted as Lingshui's ultimate family-friendly accommodation, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. The oceanfront room offered breathtaking, pristine sea views with the sun glistening on the water – photos truly don't do it justice. The room itself was well-equipped, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable; I slept so well I felt completely refreshed. My little one didn't want to leave the bathtub, so I joined in for a bit too, enjoying the sea breeze – it was truly relaxing. We initially planned to stay just one night before moving on, but we spontaneously decided to extend our stay for two more days. We'll definitely be back to this hotel on our next visit to Lingshui.

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.

The hotel is right on the beach, perfect for surfing. We booked a full sea view suite, which was fantastic. We watched the sunrise directly from our room in the morning. There was also a wonderful staff member who proactively asked if we needed a baby chair, baby cutlery, and so on. They frequently came to help us clear and change plates. I ate so much fish, especially the one cooked with vinegar and fermented lees – it was incredibly delicious! We stayed for 2 days this time, and the experience was excellent. I will definitely come back.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, right by the beach, with just a few minutes' walk to the sand. The front desk and room service staff were incredibly warm and attentive. We were even given a complimentary upgrade to a room with a large balcony and a great sea view! Although some of the facilities are a bit dated, the overall value for money is high. The hotel breakfast offers a wide variety of options, catering to different tastes.

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 chose to stay at the Ocean View Pavilion, and its biggest draw is the incredible convenience for snorkeling. The balcony opens right onto the sea, allowing you to hop in and swim with the fish whenever you like. This immersive near-shore snorkeling experience is truly unique. The only minor downside is that the room can be a bit humid; after all, facing the ocean means high humidity is an unavoidable issue for seaside rooms. Thankfully, the hotel thoughtfully provides a dehumidifier, which effectively alleviates any discomfort caused by the dampness. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons. If you're looking for an immersive, close-to-the-ocean experience, this place is absolutely perfect. The unique near-shore access is something a standard sea-view room simply can't compare to.
