Boutique Hotels in Lingshui

For our trip to Lingshui, we specifically wanted to experience both Xiangshui Bay and Qingshui Bay. After comparing the two, if you're looking for a place to truly escape the crowds and enjoy a peaceful, relaxing vacation, this hotel in Xiangshui Bay is definitely the top choice. **Privacy and Ambiance:** The entire hotel is incredibly quiet, and with fewer guests, it feels wonderfully pleasant. During the scorching midday sun, lounging in the room's pool to cool off was absolutely heavenly. The hotel is very close to the beach, and the on-demand shuttle service was practically wait-free on weekdays. On weekends, with more people, it might be a bit slower. There are also many free-roaming rabbits on the hotel lawn, which is quite charming. **Compliments on the Travel Photography:** Because of the serene environment and fewer people, every corner of the hotel felt like a natural 'photo frame.' Every casual shot turned out beautifully atmospheric. The complimentary travel photographer didn't have that stiff, assembly-line feel at all; instead, they captured candid, lively moments of our child splashing in the water. **Facilities and Service:** To be honest, the in-room facilities do show their age a bit, and some equipment is slightly outdated. However, this is a minor point; the hotel's service team is incredibly warm and attentive. From the front desk staff to the shuttle drivers, everyone greeted us proactively, and their gentle voices left us feeling truly touched. If we come back next time, we would still choose this place for its tranquility and heartwarming hospitality.

I traveled with my best friend and stayed at the hotel for two days, so I wanted to write a proper review. We didn't do any research before choosing Xiangshui Bay; we just picked this hotel when we saw it. We drove there ourselves, which was convenient. The hotel is about 700-800 meters from the street, located in a villa area. The butler had informed us of our license plate number beforehand, as other cars aren't allowed in this area. Upon entering the villa area, I was struck by how large it was, but it felt a bit deserted. The check-in area wasn't what I expected. Having stayed at Raffles Hotel before, I assumed it would be similar, but there were only two young men there to greet us. However, I must say that the two men who greeted us were incredibly patient, and they should have upgraded my room for free—it was a whopping 500 square meters! After check-in, the butler took us to our room, and wow, it was huge! It took several minutes to get there in the sightseeing vehicle. Now, let's talk about the hotel itself. For this price, the room was excellent value. While the hotel facilities weren't particularly new, they were comprehensive and very comfortable. We had such a pleasant stay that we didn't want to leave. The butler was always available, which was wonderful. The hotel's public areas were a bit messy, perhaps due to the heavy rain, but the overall scenery was nice. I wasn't very satisfied with the food; breakfast wasn't a buffet. The hotel has its own restaurant, but it seemed rather empty. It's better to eat outside the hotel; the seafood restaurant across the street is particularly delicious, with great taste and reasonable prices. For those who prefer a quieter atmosphere, this is a great place. Renting a car would be more convenient, as it's quite far from the hotel. I would definitely bring friends here again next time. ✌️
