ARANYA Resort Hotel

"Having afternoon tea with a view was an absolute delight, boasting a stunning sea vista! The half-mountain view was breathtaking; I could see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from my bed. At sunset, the entire 'orange sea' stretched out before the window – even just staring at it felt blissful. The room design was simple yet luxurious, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a sea-view bathtub creating an amazing ambiance. The KingKoil mattress made for an exceptionally sound sleep, and details like L'Occitane toiletries and smart devices were perfectly thought out, making it clean and comfortable. The butler service was top-notch, offering attentive guidance from check-in to itinerary suggestions. They were quick to respond but never intrusive, allowing for a truly relaxed experience. Public areas like the 'Sky Mirror' and infinity pool were perfect for amazing photos. Breakfast was rich and delicious, and afternoon tea was incredibly soothing. It's a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, conveniently located, allowing you to escape the noise while still easily experiencing local life. Next time I visit Dali, I'll definitely choose this place again to let the wind and light of Erhai Lake wash away all my fatigue."

Tinghua Island Garden Resort

"Our stay was absolutely perfect! ✨ The room was spotlessly clean, and the bedding was fresh and comfortable. The butler was incredibly warm and friendly, providing meticulous service throughout our stay and always being available when needed. The guesthouse itself is stunning; the courtyard and terrace are full of ambiance, perfect for Instagram-worthy photos without even leaving the property. We spent all day there and didn't want to go anywhere else. Breakfast by the beautiful sea view was a delightful experience, with the scenery and food creating a feeling of pure bliss. They also thoughtfully provided afternoon tea and a variety of fresh fruits every day, which were abundant and high-quality. Excellent value for money!"

"The hotel's location is excellent, and the front desk staff were very welcoming. While I was waiting in the lobby, they kept asking if I wanted anything to drink, truly offering 'coffee freedom,' haha! It's a shame I had to leave early and missed breakfast. The drop-off service to the station was also great and very convenient. The photographer for the travel shoot was quite professional too; the photos turned out pretty good!"

"The staff provided excellent service, she can speak some English, offering a free pick-up from Dali Station and helping us book a car for our departure. The location is ideal—within walking distance to the Old Town, plus there’s a free golf cart service. Erhai Lake is also just a short ride away. As for the food, the breakfast is served as a set menu. And we loved the free afternoon tea, fruits, and coffee. The room itself was clean, spacious, fully stocked, and had a lovely mountain view. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to stay close to the Old Town!"

"The room was spacious with a stylish design. The smart room control system and motion-sensor night light made for a great stay. We were welcomed with fruit, afternoon tea, and even a white fungus soup. The staff were very helpful and accommodating, always ready to assist with anything we needed. This was the most comfortable and enjoyable hotel we stayed at during our trip to Yunnan. I even had a minor fall while cycling, and the hotel had an emergency first-aid kit to help disinfect and treat the wound, which was a huge relief. I would definitely choose to stay here again."

Highly recommend it, don't hesitate, you won't regret staying here!"
