[2024 Lingshui Stay] Travel Guide for Raffles Hainan Clear Water Bay (Updated Dec)
We decided to spend 12 nights at this resort hotel and after a couple of issues checking in, the hotel and management didn’t stop until our magical holiday was perfect.
Breakfast was a real treat and open until 11 am which is perfect for those who do not want to rush! Our housekeeper was fantastic and became part of our holiday. There’s two swimming pools to keep you occupied and the private beach is wonderful. A short stroll to the harbour or to watch the sunset in the evening is close by too.
We ate dinner at the Italian restaurant which was delightful and in room dining was fantastic and reasonably priced.
The staff around the hotel made us feel very welcomed and I know from speaking with the resort manager that he is really developing this service further.
A massive thank you to Owen (Director of Resort) and the Duty manager Charles who went above and beyond to ensure we received 5* hospitality.
We will definitely return in the future!

Moved Bali to Yaleju Raffles in Hainan, the hotel control must punch! Walking around the hotel, it feels like crossing the Ubud Palace in Bali. As it turns out, I just thought that I would go to Bali when I made a friends circle.
Swim in the pool and poolside lunch, experience the water raft for the first time, experience the spa with the herbal tea at the spa, enjoy the sea at the seaside...
is the Sanya vacation style I want Yes, [satisfied]
I used to like to travel alone by the sea. I always feel a little lonely, but this time at the Raffles Hotel in Hainan, although I am alone, I feel comfortable. Enriched, the whole tired body and mind relaxed, and learned and harvested many new experiences. A good hotel has a temperature. If two people come next time, this holiday will be pink.

Raffles Hainan丨A luxurious holiday in a southern oasis.
At Raffles Hainan, time seems to transform into a melodious poem, with every moment embracing nature. The coconut groves sway like graceful dancers, the waves sing like passionate singers, and the sunlight drapes like golden curtains over the 12 km coastline. This place is like a forgotten paradise, with the "singing beach" resembling an ancient harp, playing delicate notes that tell the gentle story of the sea.
🏨The hotel is located on Qingshuiwan Avenue, Yingzhou Town, Lingshui Li Autonomous County, like a beautiful woman hidden in the lush hills. The surrounding tropical gardens are like loyal guards, surrounding it. Stepping into this world feels like entering a fairyland deep in the South China Sea. The 13 photo spots are like 13 dazzling pearls, each one a beautiful picture, inspiring photographers with endless creativity.
The rooms are like a fusion of Balinese and Hainanese ethnic art, spacious yet elegant. The private balcony is like a perfect viewing platform, capturing the endless sea views or the lush golf greens. The room is fully equipped, with high-end toiletries like attentive servants. The luxurious Ferragamo toiletries add a touch of luxury to the holiday, whispering the true meaning of quality living.
The winding pool is undoubtedly the hotel's most dazzling gem, with its vast waters like a giant blue silk, smooth as a mirror. The constant temperature water is like a mother's embrace, gently wrapping every inch of skin. Its length is several times that of a regular pool, swimming in it feels like becoming a free fish, enjoying the wonderful feeling of coolness and comfort. The exclusive beach bag is like a loyal companion, accompanying you on a leisurely stroll on the fine sandy beach, engraving precious memories of the sea.
The seafood restaurant is a dream stage where romance and deliciousness dance together. The encounter of grain-fed beef and turbot is like a passionate love affair on the tongue, with the tender and juicy taste making the taste buds dance with joy. The white tomato soup is the unique taste of Raffles Hainan, like a rare treasure waiting for a fateful encounter, a must-try for food lovers.
Raffles Hainan is not just a hotel, it is like a spiritual gem embedded in the earth, radiating charming light, waiting to meet you and embark on a dreamlike journey together.

Sanya "One Bay, One Night" Plan | Raffles Hainan.
| Raffles Hainan.
Our third night of the Sanya "One Bay, One Night" plan, we took a taxi from Lingshui Tufu Bay to Qingshui Bay, a 9 km journey along the Hainan Island Tourist Highway, to this top luxury hotel under Accor, owned by Agile Group - Raffles Hainan.
Qingshui Bay, where the hotel is located, is known as the "Singing Beach" - I don't know why it got its name, but it means the beach is of high quality... In addition, the hotel was also a filming location for the popular movie "Lost in the Stars" from a few years ago, so you can take photos at the classic scenes from the movie.
The main building of the hotel is roughly divided into two guest room areas, the Bali Wing and the Hainan Wing, with a strong tropical island resort feel. The public areas also have a strong artistic atmosphere, with art pieces displayed everywhere. The landscaping is also well done, with the Gate of Abundance, Van Gogh Garden, and Nanyang Corridor... It is said that there are a total of 13 classic photo spots, making it unforgettable after just one visit.
The hotel has direct access to Qingshui Bay Beach, with two pools, one standard pool and one Southeast Asian-style leisure pool. There are also several restaurants and bars, of which we only tried the all-day dining restaurant for breakfast and the Changle Bar. The popular Shacun Restaurant from the movie was closed due to the off-season. The iconic Changle Bar of Raffles should be well-known in the hotel circle, and the famous cocktail "Singapore Sling" was created by Raffles Singapore... The hotel breakfast is one of the best among Accor hotels in China, definitely worth the price of over 200. In addition, the membership benefits are also in place. As an Accor Gold member, I received a phone call the day before check-in, and I was upgraded to a side sea view room in the Bali Wing and received a welcome drink for two... Overall, although the room hardware is a bit old, the service is definitely worth the room rate.
Making the hotel a destination itself - Raffles has achieved this.

Said to be a filming location for "Lost in the Stars," it really has a Southeast Asian feel, and many of the staff are Thai. Raffles is my personal favorite hotel, somewhere between the ordinary and the elegant, neither pretentious nor rowdy. The service is very attentive, and the facilities are complete (the gym is the most serious one I've been to).
There is a night ceremony at 6 pm. I happened to catch the restaurant's Halloween-themed set menu, and the buffet was very satisfying.
You can see the Liberty Lighthouse from the beach.

I have to rave about Raffles Clearwater Bay!
I woke up this morning and decided to change hotels. I booked Raffles Clearwater Bay. Although there were mixed reviews, I didn't want to travel far, so I chose Raffles, which is next to the homestay and a 7-minute walk away. Since it was early, we first made an appointment for a hotel photo shoot. We went to the hotel to check in first. Although the drop-off area and the lobby are very close, there was no guidance. After checking in, we had a photo shoot with the photographer at 11 o'clock as scheduled, but there was a small problem in the middle, so it was changed to 12:30. This is also a platinum photo shoot. I was originally looking forward to it, but I was very dissatisfied with the reception and selection staff afterwards. I will talk about it later. The photographer is still good. After the shooting, I went to the lobby to rest. During this period, no staff will contact you. At 1:30, I asked and they said the room was ready. This time I booked a sea view room in Haitianju. The area is indeed large enough, and the sea view is also acceptable. The decoration is a bit old-fashioned, a standard Southeast Asian style. I personally like the style of the hotel very much, especially the design of the public area. The whole hotel is relatively quiet. However, there are almost no children's activities. The children's playground is suitable for babies under three years old. It's too childish. I ate a little in the room at noon, and gave a fresh coconut coupon. In the afternoon, we basically dug sand on the beach of the hotel, played in the water, and the children never got tired. Then we went swimming in the pool. The design of the hotel's swimming pool is very good for taking pictures. My dad and I swam for a while and then lay by the pool to watch them play. We originally wanted to participate in the hotel's night ceremony, but because my dad and I had to have a video conference, we missed it. This is a small regret of this trip. However, I heard that the general manager has been changed. The piano music of the former general manager is the soul. So we lay on the lounge chairs by the pool and watched the children swim while having a video conference. After it was over, it was not early. I decided not to go out to eat today, so the children went back to the room to wash and rest. My dad and I walked to the night market. My dad had long wanted to eat crayfish at the night market. My dad didn't listen to my advice and bought 6 catties of crayfish. I also bought some mangoes (twice the price of Linwang Night Market). After returning, the children were hungry. The crayfish was much more delicious than I thought. I have basically made it myself in the past two years, and I rarely eat it outside, but this crayfish still surprised me.

Which hotel should I stay at in Sanya? Raffles Hainan in Clearwater Bay! "Lost in the Stars"
||🕍Raffles Hainan in Clearwater Bay|Local Ethnic Style Hotel
When you think of coming to Hainan, to experience the tropical rainforest🌴, listen to the sound of the waves🌊, see the whole coconut grove🍃, bask in the sunshine☀, step on the white sandy beach, and immerse yourself in this tranquil oasis city, who can refuse such a pleasant vacation time❓ I want to make a date with the sea during the National Day, go on an impromptu trip, and experience a "coming for the sea"❗
🌈Hotel Location: Clearwater Bay Avenue, Yingzhou Town, Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province
-
🌈Hotel Environment:
The filming location of the movie "Lost in the Stars", Raffles Hainan in Clearwater Bay is located on Clearwater Bay Avenue in Yingzhou Town✨. It is a hotel with a unique local ethnic style of Bali and Hainan, combined with exotic features🕍.

The rooms are well-equipped, and the toiletries vary according to different room types, which is super nice🤩.
-
🌈Hotel Entertainment:
What I love the most and is worth mentioning is the hotel's curved swimming pool🏊🏻♀️, which is really big and long, possibly two to three times larger than some hotel pools. It's great for taking photos📷, and the pool water is always at a constant temperature, so you won't feel cold. The SPA center offers massages that nourish and relax your body💕, making the process very comfortable. The hotel also has various water sports🏄🏻♀️, allowing you to feel the charm of the beach and sea, which is very nice❗

The hotel's seafood restaurant🍴 has an amazing atmosphere, perfect for having a drink🍷. The dishes are very good, especially the Wagyu beef and turbot fish, which are incredibly delicious🥰.

Qingshuiwan Raffles, check-in at the filming location of 'Lost Her'
How to book the most cost-effective
1. Use the Accor Plus card, you can stay in a sea view suite of Accor's top luxury brand for only 1188. The area is 124 square meters, which is really a great value. With a certain F Accor Platinum Experience Card, you can also have breakfast for free. This cost performance is really unparalleled.
tips: The room types that can be booked with this card include a 215-square-meter garden view suite and a 124-square-meter sea view suite. I personally recommend choosing the sea view suite. Although the garden view suite is very large, of course, you should choose a sea view room when going to the seaside for vacation. I have seen the garden view room on site, and the view is not good.
2. The water and sand of Qingshuiwan are completely comparable to Yalong Bay, which is very surprising. The overall design of Raffles is elegant and very suitable for taking pictures. Travel photography is also very popular and needs to be booked in advance. I didn't get an appointment because I booked late.
3. The supporting facilities near the hotel are relatively weak, and there are not many dining options. Fortunately, Qingshuiwan has a superior location, not far from Haitang Bay, and it is also very convenient to go to the duty-free city, about half an hour's drive.
When I first booked the hotel, the movie 'Lost Her' had not yet been released. After the movie became popular, this Raffles also became an internet celebrity. In addition to staying in the hotel, I also checked in at the same lighthouse as in the movie, which is actually the Freedom Lighthouse of Qingshuiwan.
4. You can see this lighthouse lying on the beach of the hotel. It is a ten-minute drive by car. It is recommended to go at sunset in the evening, it is more beautiful. This lighthouse does not require a ticket, so don't be fooled. The scenery is really beautiful.

How should you choose between three different grades of resort hotels in Lingshui?
Over the past few years, Hainan travel has been booming, and Lingshui is a popular spot
Not only is it more comfortable than Sanya, but the beaches are also finer
The gradually developed commercial facilities make the holiday more enjoyable
Even luxury hotels are becoming more and more numerous here
Here are three different price and style hotels for everyone's reference
1️⃣ For those who want affordability, excellent environment, and hot springs
Try the Lingshui DoubleTree by Hilton, you really can't go wrong
Booking their suite, the size is also quite large
It hasn't been open for long, and the overall facilities are very modern
The biggest highlight is the hot springs you can soak in, at a low price
📍Hotel Name: Lingshui DoubleTree by Hilton Hot Springs Hotel
🔎Address: No. 1 Hot Springs Avenue
2️⃣ For those who like children's parks and water activities, take a look at this one
A four thousand square meter indoor children's park and a huge outdoor children's water fortress
Bringing kids here, they really enjoy themselves and don't want to go home
The special sky pool rooms are also very worth checking out
Often fully booked, the price is moderate, and more rooms have been opened recently
📍Hotel Name: Hainan Qingshui Bay Wyndham Hotel
🔎Address: No. 1 Silk Road, Yingzhou Town
3️⃣ For those who like quiet and luxurious quality experiences, try this one
Highly recommended to try their pool suite, it's too indulgent
The elegant and ceremonial night ceremony is really not to be missed
The Southeast Asian style architecture is obvious, as if you are in Bali
Whether dining or walking in the corridors, there is a very international feel
📍Hotel Name: Hainan Qingshui Bay Raffles Hotel
🔎Address: Next to Phase 1 of Hanhai Yintan, Qingshuiwan Avenue

It would be a real pity to miss these three luxury hotels when visiting Hainan
As one of the few provinces in China focused on travel and vacation,
Hainan truly boasts a plethora of brand-name resort hotels,
and there are also many brands worth a special trip to check out.
Here are three hotels with great experiences to share with everyone.
1️⃣ Since its opening, the EDITION has consistently held the top spot in Haitang Bay.
Rooms are in high demand year-round, and you need to register to enter the main gate.
Unlike other similar hotels that lean towards Southeast Asian styles,
their architectural style is modern and innovative, very pleasing to the eye.
It leans towards a young, stylish, and unique type, worth checking out~
📍Hotel Name: The Sanya EDITION
🔎Address: No. 100, Haitang North Road
2️⃣ In Lingshui, Raffles is definitely the top choice here.
As one of the few branches in China, the environment is excellent.
Their rooms are all very spacious, and the gardens are huge.
Strolling around gives you a feeling of Bali and Southeast Asian countries.
The beach buffet here also offers a view of the popular lighthouse🔥
The movie 'Lost in Her' was filmed at this hotel.
Walking around the hotel, you will frequently see many familiar scenes.
📍Hotel Name: Raffles Hainan Clearwater Bay
🔎Address: Next to Phase 1, Hanhai Yintan, Clearwater Bay Avenue
3️⃣ Mandarin Oriental really suits the aesthetic sense of Chinese people.
Low-key luxury without being ostentatious, enjoying the exclusive Coral Bay of Dadonghai.
It leans towards a Southeast Asian resort style, though the facilities are somewhat outdated.
Their coastal lobster🦞 buffet is famous throughout Sanya.
Friends who like tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle can check out this place.
📍Hotel Name: Mandarin Oriental, Sanya Coral Bay
🔎Address: No. 12, Yu Hai Road

Next to Sanya! The hotel in the rainforest, the singing beach is amazing!
Hainan Qingshui Bay Raffles.
Address: Qingshui Bay Avenue, Yingzhou Town, Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province.
Freedom Lighthouse° is the iconic building of Qingshui Bay, and also one of the few sea lighthouses on Hainan Island. Staying at the Raffles Hotel, you can see the lighthouse from 'The Disappearing Her'.
Located at Qingshui Bay, the 'singing beach' is right here. When you step on the sand, it makes a pleasant sound.
Surrounded by mountains and sea, the area is filled with lush vegetation. There is a curved swimming pool that is temperature-controlled, great for swimming and taking photos, and it's very photogenic.
It's about a half-hour drive from Haitang Bay, which makes it very convenient to travel. The guest rooms are equipped with a scenic balcony, bathtub, and separate bathroom.
Gate of Heaven: The hotel's entrance features a century-old brand logo, super stylish!
Vietnamese Lantern Corridor: The colorful lanterns reflected on the tiled floor look even better when you wear light-colored clothes!
Van Gogh Starry Night Pool: The same photo spot as 'The Disappearing Her'! Even a casual shot by Xiaobai looks great!

How to choose the three must-visit Accor hotels in Sanya?
Frequent travelers should be familiar with the Accor Group.
It has many hotel brands, and they are quite common in China.
There are also many in the beautiful and livable Hainan Island.
Here are the highlights of three must-visit Accor hotels in Sanya.
A simple reference for your travel accommodation.
1️⃣ I really like the cost-effective Fairmont Haitang Bay.
It is positioned as luxurious, but the price is even cheaper than Sheraton.
The hotel has a dragon boat and night ceremony performance, which is quite interesting.
The rooms start at 65 square meters, so they are very spacious.
Right behind it is Wuzhizhou Island, which is very convenient for visiting.
Their buffet dinner is very cost-effective in my opinion.
There are many varieties and the price is very affordable, don't miss it when you come.
📍Hotel Name: Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay
🔎Address: No. 10 Haitang North Road
2️⃣ Relatively speaking, Sofitel's architecture and environment are newer.
It is also very close to the sea and has a fun children's playground.
The rooms are also grand and beautiful, with smooth bedding.
Fully equipped, you can see the blue sea from the room.
You can try their Thai cuisine and noodle shop!!
📍Hotel Name: Sofitel Sanya Leeman Resort
🔎Address: No. 28 Haitang North Road, Haitang District
3️⃣ Relatively speaking, Raffles is the most expensive one✨
The decoration is very Southeast Asian style, a bit like going to Bali.
Many popular movies are also filmed at this hotel.
Their suites are quite good, very large and spacious.
The popular movie 'Lost in the Stars' was fully filmed here.

Not in Thailand, not in Southeast Asia, but in Clear Water Bay, Lingshui, Hainan
The location of the disappeared her! The same freedom lighthouse and beach dinner. I found it!
The sea in Lingshui is really beautiful~
From the jelly-colored glass sea nearby
to the deep blue sea in the distance,
the layers are distinct and surprisingly beautiful!
Walking on the "singing" beach,
Chasing a pink sunset in the direction of the Freedom Lighthouse,
Or,
Have a romantic buffet dinner with Ta on the same beach in the movie,
The sea breeze is gentle, the song in the ear is gentle,
Everything is just right, everything is worth it.

🌴【Play and photo check-in strategy】
✅Be sure to choose good weather to play! The sea is blue and clear, the beach is white and soft, don't love it too much!
✅The Freedom Lighthouse at sunset is very atmospheric, remember to watch the sunset time in advance! After taking the sunset, you can also take the blue moment when the lighthouse lights up, which is also very out of the picture.
✅After taking the lighthouse, you can walk along the beach on the right to the same beach dinner in the movie-Clear Water Bay Raffles Hotel's beach seafood freedom feast, the portion is sufficient, the variety is many, delicious and romantic~
✅We live in the same hotel where the movie was filmed-Clear Water Bay Raffles Hotel, the hotel is full of Southeast Asian style, making people feel like they have traveled to Bali! The room has a super large balcony, and there are beach chairs, you can directly lie on the balcony to see the sea view, this is a surprise! There are also exquisite welcome fruits, butler service and a rich buffet breakfast, which makes people feel full of vacation!
✅Hainan's ultraviolet rays are relatively strong, be sure to pay attention to sun protection! It is recommended to wear slippers or hole shoes to the beach, which is convenient for wading and catching the sea~

This hotel is so upscale, it has the feel of a Maldives vacation
It's the Raffles Hotel in Sanya.
I'm quite familiar with the Raffles in Maldives, Singapore, and Shenzhen, they are all top hotels in their respective locations. I just stayed at the Raffles in Maldives last year, and I have a very good impression of this brand👍
Unlike the bustling Haitang Bay and Yalong Bay, this place is quiet with fewer people. The beach is exclusive to the hotel, suitable for soaking in the hotel and enjoying it. It has a Maldives vacation feel, especially the villa type🏠
🍂Raffles is located in Clearwater Bay, where the waves are calm and you can go into the sea. If you want to get close and feel the sea, don't choose hotels in Haitang Bay or Yalong Bay.
🌲The garden design is great, it has the feel of a resort, there are many trees so it doesn't feel too sunny. It gives off a tropical rainforest vibe. The decoration of the rooms and villas are all vacation style, warm wooden, very comfortable, international five-star brand hotel, hardware facilities and service standards are all online
📍It's an hour's drive from Sanya Phoenix Airport, except for the most basic rooms that do not include pick-up and drop-off, other room types all include pick-up and drop-off, and there's also a stay 2 nights get 1 night free deal, it's so PY to be able to stay in a Maldives quality vacation hotel, super👍👍
🚈It's 25 minutes to Sanya Duty Free City, there's a car to pick up and drop off which is quite convenient, shopping sisters get excited

After watching 'Her Vanished', you have to visit the filming location, right?
👍Most recommended: After watching the movie 'Her Vanished', wouldn't you want to see the Moshar Lighthouse that appeared in the movie? The filming location is actually in Lingshui, Hainan, located at the Freedom Lighthouse in Clearwater Bay. The charming red and white color scheme, quietly watching at the end of the road alone!
❤Reason for recommendation: Apart from the plot, it has to be said that there are several scenes in the movie that are very beautiful!
▶️1. Clearwater Bay Freedom Lighthouse (Moshar Lighthouse)
▶️2. Clearwater Bay Beach, the couple's hand-holding photo in the movie was taken here. The water is clear, the sand is white, the wind is calm, and the sea sand is very delicate. Walking on it will make a crisp sound, called 'the singing beach'! In the evening, you can see the sunset dyeing the beach like a beautiful painting!
▶️3. Hainan Raffles Ocean Joy World (Undersea Starry Sky)
▶️4. Clearwater Bay Yacht Club (The dock where He Fei ran)
▶️5. Clearwater Bay Raffles Hotel (Holiday Hotel)
▶️6. Dali Waterfall (The place where Chen Mai and He Fei jumped into the water)
💗There is also the Baoting Sheling Film and Television Base, the Nanyang Street in the movie is located in Sheling Town on the east side of Baoting.
🌟Nearby tourist highlights: Lingshui's Boundary Island, Daidai Island, Wanning's Sun and Moon Bay, Shimei Bay, Jiajing Island, Baoting's Yanoda Rainforest, Qixianling, etc. are all worth seeing.
🚉Travel tips: The self-driving route can refer to 'Haikou-Wenchang-Qionghai-Wanning-Lingshui-Baoting-Sanya' (the reverse is also possible), directly locate the Clearwater Bay Tourist Area (North Gate), there are parking spaces, cars can be parked directly at the North Gate; the combination of high-speed rail + taxi can also make everyone travel easily.

The feeling of living in a tropical rainforest can only be experienced here!
Raffles Yajule
Review: A treasure resort hotel mixed with Li nationality style and Southeast Asian style
Hotel location: Lingshui Clearwater Bay
Hotel style: Bali style
Room area: 80㎡
Hotel highlights: Raffles Yajule is more low-key and connotative,
It is the only luxury resort hotel in Hainan adjacent to 2 18-hole golf courses;
The hotel style has the atmosphere of a tropical rainforest, with light wind and shallow waves, really have a second through Southeast Asia deja vu

The singing beach of Clearwater Bay!
Located in Lingshui's Clearwater Bay, less than half an hour away from Haitang Bay, this place has few people, beautiful scenery, clean beaches, and fine sand. It is also known as the singing beach. It is said that the sound made when stepping on it is super healing, and the sunset is a unique pink color, super beautiful!!
Hotel environment:
Located on the undulating hills, built against the mountain, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, it feels like walking into a natural oasis in the South China Sea. The hotel has 13 check-in points, each of which can produce big pictures, which is very suitable for me who loves to take pictures! And what's subtle is that the hotel is really quiet, the plant coverage rate is high, the whole environment seems very secluded and quiet, only the sound of the waves, the rustling sound of the leaves, it's really relaxing. The room type is basically a sea view room, pulling the curtains is the blue sea and blue sky, it's really healing! The environment is also quite clean and tidy!
Hotel food:
The candlelight dinner with my lover still chose the Italian seafood restaurant in the hotel, not only the atmosphere is very romantic, a small drink, directly full of sweetness, and the production is also good! The whole match is very careful! The most special thing is the white tomato soup, this soup can only be drunk in the Raffles Italian seafood restaurant in Hainan, it is made by filtering the tomato elements for a day and a night!

Hainan was once the location of a hotel in the movie 'Her Disappearance'
🏨 Clearwater Bay Raffles Hotel
🌟Highlights:
The location of the movie 'Her Disappearance'. The hotel is very large, with its own beach, three restaurants, and the accommodation corridor has open windows, overall it is Southeast Asian style.
The travel photography of Raffles is platinum, the shooting is very fast, the output rate is very high, the photographer will shoot according to your style and your clothes of the day!
🛏Room facilities:
The garden room is on the fifth floor, the room is very large, very suitable for the spaciousness of family travel, double bathroom, the height of the building is at the top of the coconut tree, the living room has an open kitchen, it is recommended for family travel garden room.
🍽Dining recommendations:
Breakfast recommends Western-style fried bacon is better than Chinese food.
You can rent a car to eat seafood at the big stall, the cost performance is very high. The seafood supermarket catches it now, the restaurant processes it, the fish has splashed me with several tails of water from the water to the table, and the average person can eat and pack it for four hundred.
🚉Transportation strategy:
Fly from Shanghai to Sanya, rent a car in Sanya, the car rental staff at Sanya Airport will pick up the plane and take you to register a few kilometers away.
📝Note tips:
The sprinkler noodles and small cakes in the V23 VIP lounge of Shanghai Hongqiao Hainan Airlines are good, and the Sanya VIP lounge seems to be a big canteen!

Complete guide to Clearwater Bay Raffles
📍Hainan Lingshui Clearwater Bay (next to Haitang Bay, Monkey Island is a 20-minute drive away, and the food court is 10 minutes away)
🚌Pick-up and drop-off: The hotel provides a shuttle bus to and from Sanya Phoenix Airport (it is recommended to add Lingshui High-speed Railway Station pick-up and drop-off, many passengers land in Haikou)
🅿️Hotel guests park for free (non-staying guests 10 yuan/H)
But there is no valet parking service, this point is not good
💁♀️Service:
1. There will be guidance to the lobby for check-in when entering the hotel, and there are butlers to follow up on the check-in experience. We arrived early and the butler knew that we were coming back from the beach and actively upgraded our room type to let us check in early to rest
2. The butler sister also knew that we were three guests and gave us three coconuts (the experience was great)
🏊Swimming pool: During the stay, the reef swimming pool was maintained (it is said to be a major change) and only a very regular small swimming pool was opened, but there was also a bubble battle which was fun
🌴Garden: The entire hotel garden is super large, very photogenic, and you can easily get lost. The garden lights are dim at night
🌊Seaside: There is a shuttle bus to and from the beach, and walking is a bit tiring. The beach dinner has the artistic conception of 'Her Disappearance', and the photos are also very photogenic, but I personally think that the buffet is not cost-effective!
🛏️Guest room: We stayed in the sea view room of Lanhaiju this time, the room area is about 80 square meters, it feels like the whole has been renovated, there is no moldy smell on the Internet, the balcony is super large with loungers and dining table (strongly recommend ordering a set of balcony breakfast), the bedding is impeccable, the bathroom has a dressing table which is a blessing for female friends, the spare parts are just simple toiletries, there is no disposable razor, which is not very friendly to male friends
🎑Night bed service: Even if there is no advance explanation of the demand, the hotel will actively provide night bed service, put water and cups on the bedside, and there are two pieces of Swiss lotus chocolate to help sleep, slippers, bathrobes will be hung up for users to use (very intimate)
🎹Night ceremony: There will be free cocktails and dried fruits provided, enjoy piano accompaniment, the whole ceremony is about ten minutes
🍴Baiwei Chinese Restaurant: The dishes are mainly Cantonese and some Hunan dishes, the price is moderate, the speed of serving and the taste are good, and a 1 pound cake animal cream mango sandwich is super delicious
🍳Disha Village: Breakfast time is until 11 o'clock, it is a blessing for friends who like to sleep in, it can be eaten as lunch, the dishes are rich, the strong push noodle stall area's braised flavor is very flavorful, the bread cake is very dry like it has been put for a long time. After entering the restaurant, there is no waiter to guide, and you need to find a table yourself and wait for others to finish eating before you can sit down (you should not let guests come in and wait when there are many diners)
⚠️Complaint point: The hotel corridor is very slippery, it should be that a guest's water was spilled and not cleaned by the cleaning staff, and I fell directly!! The waiter in the Chinese restaurant is also very rigid, saying that the chili fried meat does not want too much fat and says it can't be done.
🌟Summary: The service quality in Hainan is already very high, the guest rooms have been renovated and will not be very old, it is recommended to go out to eat for catering, there are not many entertainment options, the photos are more photogenic, suitable for couples to travel, discourage parent-child, if you want a vacation experience with fewer people and beautiful scenery, come to Raffles!
