5-Star Hotels in Changli

This was my first time celebrating my birthday in Aranya, and I chose what's considered the best hotel here. It truly lives up to its reputation and is worth every penny, immediately setting the bar high for future trips! We had a wonderful and delightful three-day, two-night stay. If I ever come back, I'll definitely choose this place again! **Environment:** Extremely comfortable, a quiet haven amidst the bustle. A small gate leads directly to the beach in just a three-minute walk. Non-guests aren't allowed in, and the soundproofing is excellent, offering maximum privacy. There was no noise at night, ensuring a very high quality of sleep. Relaxing by the pool was incredibly pleasant. **Hygiene:** Excellent. Supplies were replenished promptly, and the room was tidied. Turn-down service was provided at appropriate times. No insects, and the dehumidification worked very quickly. **Facilities:** Upscale and modern, ergonomically designed. The in-room bar offered a wide variety of drinks, including beer, soda, cola, and water. Umbrellas were provided at the room entrance and were of high quality; during a strong gust of wind, other umbrellas failed, but the hotel's umbrella held up perfectly. **Service:** The front desk communicated with us in advance to confirm our arrival time and high-speed train schedule. A professional partner car service picked us up; although we booked a comfortable car for two, a business car arrived, and the driver was very patient – incredible value for money! There's a WeChat group where all requests were quickly responded to and resolved. The service was thoughtful, attentive, and respectful of boundaries. A big thank you to General Manager Rosalie Luo, Front Office Manager Li Bin, Restaurant Manager Peter, and Private Service Managers KIKI, Levi, Kelly & Leo for helping us book restaurants, handling purchases and pick-ups, and recommending delicious food in advance. Upon arrival, we were offered afternoon tea and a guided tour of the park. When it hailed on Sunday, they immediately offered to bring us an umbrella. Transfers to any location in Phases 1-9 were always prompt. Since it was my birthday, they thoughtfully decorated the room and surprised me with a small cake, which was delicious! 😋

We chose the Avila Courtyard, and there are many courtyard styles among the guesthouses. Avila is very close to the guesthouse reception center, so after checking in, you can just walk over there in a few minutes. The courtyard has two swimming pools, which are great for kids. We received a welcome gift package filled with various snacks. The room was very clean. Since we had a baby with us, they specially arranged a quieter room on the second floor for us.

The hotel environment is lovely, with an innovative design concept. From the king-size bed, opening the curtains reveals a truly healing view. The room is spacious and well laid out. It would be even better if the floors were wiped without leaving water marks, the room had a fresher scent (there was a slightly fishy smell after mopping), and the toiletries were a bit more refined. Breakfast is served next door at Luyu Restaurant, and the management there could use some improvement. When we went at 9:30 AM, there was no one to seat us, so we had to find a table ourselves, and no one was clearing tables promptly. The food selection is adequate for its price point, but the display fridge for bread and pastries had noticeable hygiene issues, both externally and internally. Overall, this hotel has clear pros and cons, but the timely butler service, excellent views, top-notch design, and clean, friendly animals make it worth trying.
