Pullman Dali
"Wonderful stay at Pullman Dali. Location: Excellent location facing Dali Harbour. The Erhai sightseeing bus stop is only a 3–5-minute walk, and Dali High‑Speed Railway Station takes just 5–10 minutes by car, very convenient for travelling to Haidong. Room & Facilities: We stayed in a high-floor Erhai-view room with fantastic lake scenery. The rooftop terrace is the biggest highlight for enjoying panoramic Erhai views. Rooms are well furnished, and guests can choose pillows of different textures as needed. The hotel is fully equipped with a gym, swimming pool and SPA. Breakfast has diverse selections and tasty pastries. Service: We encountered slight communication problems at first, which were settled perfectly with the help of butler Mary (Thanks Soraya for the help too! )- She assisted in all coordination, recommended local attractions and cared about our experience throughout the stay. The hotel clearly marks free and chargeable services with full transparency. Highly recommend this hotel."

Tinghua Island Garden Resort
"I'd give this B&B a 6-star rating! It's definitely the most photogenic garden-pool B&B in Shuanglang. The butler service was excellent; they even upgraded our room for free during the off-season, which was fantastic! It has a garden, swings, sea views, and a pool, combining Santorini vibes with an English garden and island getaway feel – super picturesque. Our room had direct views of Erhai Lake, and the breeze on the terrace was lovely. Breakfast was also delicious. I'd definitely stay here again next time I visit~"

"The villa is up on hill, Lake view room. Hotel staff is friendly and cleanliness standard is excellent. The night snack is very thoughtful and added nice touch to our stay."
ARANYA Resort Hotel
"Overall, it's a great place! It's located on a slope, and the front desk upgraded us to a full sea-view room overlooking Erhai Lake. There's a restaurant nearby with good food, and for breakfast, you can choose between Chinese and Western options. It takes about 35 minutes to get to Dali Ancient City. The swimming pool would be great in summer, and the kids even did some crafts, led by a very patient teacher!"
Dali Luchun Garden Hotel
"After a long journey, this hotel offered a much-needed warm welcome. The room was clean and cozy, with all the amenities working perfectly. The front desk staff, especially Chu Yi (初一), was incredibly warm and accommodating. Their service felt genuine and unforced, making me feel truly valued.

Yunqi Dali Sea View Hotel
"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."
ShiGuangYingYue

Dali Muxinbao French-style Seaview Resort Manor (Erhai Lake Branch)
"The manor is nestled on a cliffside in Wencun Village, Haidong, with Rainbow Road right outside – perfect for dining out and snapping photos. The manor also offers golf cart service to other areas within the village. The butler service was incredibly thoughtful. Upon arrival, the butler was already waiting outside to greet us, helped with our luggage, guided us through check-in, and escorted us to our room. Any questions we had were promptly answered in the group chat. Breakfast offered a choice of rice noodles, regular noodles, Er'si (a local rice cake dish), or congee, accompanied by bread, scrambled eggs, fruit, and a salad set – all very delicious. The afternoon tea was also lovely; enjoying coffee and cake while gazing at the stunning Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake was truly relaxing. The room was very neat and clean. Both the private hot tub and balcony offered direct, beautiful views of the mountains and sea, which was fantastic. The complimentary photography session provided by the hotel was also excellent; it perfectly captured the stunning blend of the manor and the Cang-Er region!"
