5-Star Hotels in Lingshui

We originally booked a three-night stay. We arrived at the hotel around 2:30 PM, but weren't able to check in until almost 4 PM. We were exhausted and frustrated, especially since there was no room for the child to rest. After getting to our room, I immediately complained and canceled the remaining two nights. After dinner, Xiao Gang from the front desk called to apologize, and they sent complimentary welcome fruit to all three rooms. The next day, Manager A Zhan also apologized and sent milk. I want to especially commend Xiao Gang from the front desk and Manager A Zhan for their prompt and sincere handling of the issue. The children also enjoyed the swimming pool. We ended up extending our stay, and overall it was quite good. Despite a few minor hiccups, their follow-up service was commendable. Thumbs up to the hotel – if I come to Lingshui again, I'll definitely stay here.

The hotel environment is breathtaking at first glance. As soon as you enter the lobby, you are immediately captivated by the view of the infinity pool seamlessly merging with the distant sea. It’s especially gorgeous on a sunny day. The lawns and coconut groves in the public areas are also stunning. Taking a stroll on the hotel beach in the evening to catch the breeze is just so relaxing. During check-in, the receptionist kindly gave us a complimentary upgrade from a Deluxe Sea View Room to a Supreme Sea View King Room, which we truly appreciate. The view from inside the room is also fantastic, and the facilities are very new and fully equipped. The buffet breakfast is extensive; I especially loved the Chinese hamburger (Roujiamo) 🥙 on the morning of October 10th. For those of us with Chinese palates, it was genuinely delicious (I hope the hotel can feature more breakfast options like this 😊). Additionally, the hotel offered a great-value group-buying deal for the buffet breakfast during the National Day holiday. We tried it a few days prior and it was very delicious—cheaper than eating outside—plus there was live Guzheng (Chinese zither) performance, which totally nailed the festive vibe. It was precisely because of that experience that we later decisively booked a three-night stay.

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.

True to Marriott's standards, the quality is reliable. The resort grounds are expansive, featuring stunning tropical gardens at every turn. The ocean view room offers a wide, open horizon, and the bathroom features a dry-wet separation design where you can even enjoy an ocean view while soaking in the tub. The kids' club offers a rich variety of activities, making traveling with little ones completely hassle-free. The beach is very close to the guest rooms, just a few steps away. The breakfast at the restaurant is fresh, with a great variety of fruits and hot dishes. The staff provide attentive service and patiently resolve any issues. Highly recommended for family vacations.

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.

The island is truly beautiful, a five-star beauty. However, the hotel service is very mediocre. We stayed for three consecutive days, and every day we had to walk past an excavator to get to breakfast, with no one guiding us. I noticed that every table at breakfast had elderly people and children, so I raised my concern to the staff at the entrance of the breakfast restaurant. I suggested either stopping the construction for two hours or having someone specifically guide guests, as it would be disastrous if an elderly person or child fell or was hit by the excavator during construction. The staff member rolled her eyes at me and said, 'What does that have to do with me? We're just the restaurant staff; we don't handle anything else.' I believe the manager or person in charge of safety at this hotel is seriously incompetent. The service awareness of the staff here is still stuck in the last century. Although this is the only hotel on the island, if these issues aren't improved, it will be difficult to retain repeat customers.

The hotel is small and exquisite. We traveled as a family with both elderly members and a toddler. Although the facilities are limited, the pool and beach were enough to keep our 2.5-year-old entertained. We stayed in 2 rooms for 3 nights, spending our time lounging by the pool, playing in the water, and relaxing on the beach—it was very peaceful. My only suggestion is that some underutilized areas could be upgraded into a kids' club to expand the children's play area; the current one is too small, so we didn't use it at all. The library takes up a large space and is very nice, but the books are fake, leaving it completely empty with very low actual usage. For a hotel of this size, it's a bit of a waste. This space could be put to good use, perhaps converted into a real reading café or other functional areas which would be much more meaningful than now. Also, adding some shade sails over the pool would make it usable even during intensely hot and sunny weather.

This hotel is located in Xiangshui Bay, Lingshui, boasting exceptionally beautiful beach views and crystal-clear waters. The waves are sometimes big, sometimes calm, and the sunrises, sunsets, and starry nights create a truly picturesque atmosphere. The hotel itself is large and clean, and the front desk staff are incredibly polite, warm, and attentive. We stayed in an ocean-view suite, which was spacious with comfortable beds, perfect for two adults and two children. There are also plenty of activities for kids, including a water park and a gym on the 6th floor, ensuring a fun and satisfying stay for the whole family! We'd definitely come back to this island-style hotel next time! We loved it so much, it's even more appealing than Qingshui Bay! Especially the breakfast on the first floor, which was delicious with a wide variety of choices. There's also an indoor soft play area opposite, a true source of joy for children.
