Hotels with Rooftop Pools in Mengla

"The location is absolutely fantastic, making it the top choice for both night tours and daytime visits to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, the facilities are undeniably outdated; it's an old-fashioned hotel, and the breakfast is just average. Even for an old hotel, it barely scrapes by as a 3-star. The lack of charging stations is a major inconvenience, as you have to drive more than ten minutes from the east gate to the west gate to charge. But, if you're planning night tours and daytime sightseeing, I genuinely recommend it because you can directly access everything from the hotel lobby, which means more sleep! Despite the hotel being old, the service is prompt and the staff are quite nice."

"My child and I took a private car from Jinghong city to Wild Elephant Valley on the 28th, then checked into Anantara. Anantara, in my mind, is the pinnacle of domestic resorts, synonymous with 'wild luxury,' beautiful surroundings, and excellent service. The latter two, Anantara certainly delivered on. The lobby is grand, and when we first entered the room, it didn't feel dated at all. Lush greenery filled the view from the window – a plant lover's dream! Outside the balcony was a large garden. On the first day, I spent the entire afternoon intently watching trees and birds, spotting red-whiskered bulbuls, oriental magpie-robins, sooty-headed bulbuls, blue-throated barbets, and sunbirds. I saw various fruit-bearing trees, including coconuts and legumes. Even the large bathtub in the bathroom had a view of extensive greenery. We attended the evening ritual and released water lanterns. The lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic and even showed us photos she took of a large gecko. The restaurant staff and kids' club team remembered us staying for several days. They gave us small gifts and fulfilled our request for pineapple fried rice. The complimentary travel photoshoot was excellent, capturing some truly memorable 'life photos.' Every staff member we encountered greeted us warmly. The two resident musicians from Malaysia, who performed in the lobby bar in the afternoon and by the restaurant entrance in the evening, were absolutely superb and a definite highlight of our trip. There were some drawbacks, however. The housekeeping staff throughout the resort was noticeably insufficient. We returned to our room at 1:30 PM, and it still hadn't been cleaned. This was the only time we didn't call for housekeeping, and thinking about it, it's probably a good thing we didn't, as the service speed likely wouldn't have kept up. Perhaps it was due to the off-season before the May Day holiday, but there seemed to be fewer staff in the hotel's public areas. The children's activities were almost identical every day and mostly concentrated in the mornings, which was a shame as we spent every morning at the botanical garden. Lastly, the price. It's an hour from Jinghong city, in an area where local guesthouses cost around 100 RMB per person. Yet, the hotel's calendar rate was as high as 2000 RMB. Locals definitely wouldn't go; it only attracts those who come for its reputation. The restaurant food was good, with generous portions, but the prices felt like they were converted from US dollars. We ate four meals at Anantara and spent 1000 RMB. Well, no more talk, I'm off to earn more money!"

"This was the first hotel we stayed at after arriving in Xishuangbanna. The environment was very quiet and the greenery was beautiful. It's a pity we arrived late at night and had to leave the next morning; my family said we should have come earlier to visit the local markets, see the Buddhist temples, and go rafting. There were some small flying insects in the wooden villas, but in a tropical rainforest area near a river, I think it's quite normal and acceptable. If you can't accept this, I suggest not coming to Mengla; this place is all about returning to nature. So I don't quite understand people who give negative reviews about small flying insects; these insects fly in the air, they're not crawling on the bed. The hotel breakfast included local specialty rice noodles, which were delicious."

"I accidentally saw on the Internet that there is a very beautiful post station at Mohan Port on the China-Laos border. This time I went to Laos and passed by Mohan. So I settled in this post station. Walk into the pure Dai thatched house with stilt structures at the post station. It has the original style of a Dai village. It is indeed rare to see. Only when I got here did I realize that the post station also has services that can help guests arrange travel to Laos."

"This hotel was amazing. It’s only a year old but the amenities look like it’s brand new and inside of the room seems no different from a five-star. The only thing missing was a bathroom scale. Nice courtyard pool below just big enough to do some short laps and a kilometer from the night market. Interesting little area and they have street side eatery outside with a good view. The best part though is the manager Mr. Wu was exceptionally helpful. When he saw me arriving by bicycle, he did everything he could to make my stay more pleasant and even offered to go the extra mile with extra service and help. An unbelievable bargain, and a nice end to my journey. "

"🏠Environment The environment is clean and tidy. The location is in Nanla New District. 🌟Facilities The washing machine and dryer are very clean. 😊Service There is breakfast. You can eat something simple in the morning. Go to Wangtianshu or the Manlelong Market. The drive is about an hour. Go to Manlelong first. The market has Banna specialty snacks. Different from the more commercial night market snacks in Jinghong, this place is more local. I like it more. The front desk service is enthusiastic. I am afraid that we will not rest well and actively help us change rooms."

"This hotel is the most satisfying hotel for our trip to Xishuangbanna this time. My child and I settled in after traveling through Yulin, Mengyuan Wonderland. When I checked in, I learned that the hotel has a wedding banquet restaurant that may not accept individual guests at night. After the hotel reception knew that we hadn’t had lunch, I specifically contacted the restaurant to confirm whether it can accept individual guests. We just called the front desk at the room and said it would be 4:30 You can go downstairs to eat, and the restaurant also called the room to inform us to go downstairs to order food. I would like to thank you. This meal is also the most delicious meal of this trip. I found that this hotel can also be very careful to put a USB charging plug next to the bed for the convenience of guests."
