DoubleTree by Hilton Hainan Xinglong Lakeside is situated in Xinglong Town, a renowned hometown for overseas Chinese in Wanning, Hainan, within the Shimei Bay / Xinglong Resort area. Xinglong is famous for its distinctive Southeast Asian charm and its rich, aromatic coffee. The hotel is situated on the shore of Xinhu Lake, facing the mountains. Its location is excellent: it is only a 10-minute drive from the Wangfujing International Duty-Free Harbour City. Additionally, it is within easy reach of the high-speed rail station and the G98 Hainan Expressway entrance, providing convenient access to both Haikou Meilan International Airport and Sanya Phoenix International Airport.
As the tenth Hilton-branded hotel in the Hainan region, we not only offer the standard facilities of the DoubleTree by Hilton brand but have also pioneered smart key card services. The hotel features 296 guest rooms, suites, and standalone villas, designed by CCD Hong Kong under the philosophy of "Warmth and Ease," blending natural landscape textures with a minimalist design style.All rooms are equipped with private balconies or swimming pools, offering views of the beautiful Xinhu Lake and lush tropical vegetation. With curated dining options, comprehensive meeting facilities, and indoor and outdoor recreational amenities, we are committed to creating a unique and unforgettable one-stop resort experience—whether for solo travelers, families, or event organizers.
"Huge thanks to the front desk for the room upgrade! Check-in was super fast, and we got a lake-view room. The view from the sixth floor was pretty good, though the highest floor is the seventh, so it obviously can't compare to the views from higher-floor rooms. But being on a lower floor meant less wind, so it felt really warm and cozy.
The hotel's public area pool is beautiful. The outdoor pool is cold water, not heated. However, the indoor heated pool makes up for it – you can swim there and then go for a hot spring dip, which is incredibly comfortable! I'd suggest increasing the frequency of maintenance for the hot spring pools; when I went, the water quality wasn't as good as I'd imagined, and the hot spring water quality isn't quite on par with places like Tengchong or Guangzhou.
It's a bit stingy that guests consuming at the lobby bar still have to pay extra for the billiard table. I'd suggest changing this to a reservation-based system with a time limit; guests would probably feel better about that.
Breakfast overall was decent. The live cooking stations for noodles and vermicelli were freshly prepared, and the broths were excellent. However, the soy milk and coconut milk were both watered down and flavorless, like too much water had been added, making them very bland. I hope this can be improved, because the self-service Qingbuliang (a refreshing dessert soup) loses its meaning if the coconut milk isn't good!
The housekeeping staff are very diligent. For consecutive stays, it felt almost like checking into a new room every day. But as a five-star resort, shouldn't the complimentary bottled water at least be something like Nongfu Spring? This 'Ice Dew' brand is a bit much. A few extra cents in cost wouldn't hurt, right?"
