Raffles HainanFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in Lingshui: two 5-star hotels, from 306 euros a night.The two luxury hotels in Lingshui cost 306 € and 335 € a night – only 29 euros apart.
Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay · Haitang BayAt the dearer of the two, the small print on the credit repays a close look.
At the Capella Tufu Bay Hainan from 335 € there are two credits of 50 US dollars each. A hundred together – but not as one sum.
• 50 US dollars for food and drink, explicitly excluding room service.
• 50 US dollars for the spa, explicitly for treatments only.
So what you do not spend in the restaurant does not move over to the spa – or the other way round. Anyone who skips the spa gets nothing from the second half; anyone who prefers the evening in the room loses the first to the room-service exclusion.
For comparison: the Raffles Hainan from 306 € carries one credit of 50 US dollars – half as much, but without that split.
Our advice: tell us whether you plan on spa treatments. If you do, the two pots at the Capella Tufu Bay Hainan really are worth 100 US dollars. If you do not, count honestly on 50 – and then the comparison between the two hotels looks different.
The two best hotels in Lingshui sit at different points along the coast.
Capella Tufu Bay Hainan · Tufu BayThe Raffles Hainan from 306 € has 20 categories, among them nine suites. Five of them look out to sea. Our recommendation for anyone who flies to Hainan for that.
The Capella Tufu Bay Hainan from 335 € sits in Tufu Bay and has 12 categories, among them five suites. Our recommendation for anyone to whom floor area matters more than choice – why, follows in a moment.
How far one is from the other, our travel advisors will tell you.
Together the best hotels in Lingshui offer 32 categories.
Sofitel Sanya Leeman Resort · HaitangAt the Capella Tufu Bay Hainan there are twelve – and their sizes are unusual. Seven categories measure exactly 88 square metres. On top of that come 97, twice 125, 172 and 290.
So the smallest category at this hotel is larger than what elsewhere would count as a big suite. And the decision within the hotel is one between a few clearly separated steps – not between twelve gradations.
For the Raffles Hainan our travel advisors have the square metres confirmed before you book, category by category.
A night at a 5-star hotel in Lingshui costs 306 € or 335 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Raffles Hainan | 306 € | 1st night |
| Capella Tufu Bay Hainan | 335 € | 2nd night |
Watch the right-hand column: at the Raffles Hainan the suitespot benefits apply from the first night, at the Capella Tufu Bay Hainan from the second. For a single night the gap between the two hotels is therefore wider than the 29 euros in the left-hand column.
How long to stay: five nights. Hainan is not a stopover destination; the coast, the interior and a day with no plan carry the week.
When it is at its best: from November to April, in the dry half of the year. Our recommendation for a first visit.
From May to October the island is greener and far emptier. Our recommendation for anyone who wants Hainan outside the high season.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
At both hotels breakfast for two people, a late check-out and a welcome gift are included.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comAfter that they differ.
• The Raffles Hainan brings 50 US dollars of hotel credit, points with ALL (Accor) – and a guaranteed upgrade, without the usual „subject to availability“.
• The Capella Tufu Bay Hainan brings the two credits of 50 US dollars each, for food and drink excluding room service and for spa treatments, plus an upgrade subject to availability.
