Gataria Wild Luxury Hotel

Living a Tropical Dream with a North African Twist in Xishuangbanna 🌴 No need to fly to Morocco; in Xishuangbanna, you can unwind in a North African-style hotel filled with warm sandstone arches. Push open your room door, and sunlight streams through the sheer curtains onto the bathtub. The rattan chair on the balcony is just waiting to embrace your lazy afternoon. Head downstairs to a cerulean blue pool, nestled among coconut groves and tropical vegetation. When you're tired of swimming, relax in a poolside cabana, gazing up at the clear blue sky with the distant city skyline in view. Here, there's no need to rush to tourist spots. Just strolling through the arched shadows or lounging in the warm communal living room is enough to fully embrace the tropical laid-back vibe. 🌞

I contacted the hotel in advance for airport pickup, and they took me straight to the hotel as soon as I landed. I booked a 'Tipsy River View King Room' through Ctrip, and there were welcome amenities like fruit, coffee, and orange juice. The check-in experience was fantastic! I arrived just in time for sunset, and watching it from the bay window was incredibly therapeutic. You could also see the Lancang River, with its sparkling waters – absolutely beautiful! It only took 3 minutes to walk to the Starlight Night Market in the evening, and the river view restaurant I booked was also within easy walking distance. The hotel's location is excellent and super convenient! The Moroccan-style pool is very photogenic! At night, the lighting creates a wonderful ambiance. There's also the Casa Palm Terrace, perfect for birthday parties or marriage proposals. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, and it was so convenient that the pool, terrace, and breakfast area were all on the first floor! There's also a small meeting room, a coffee bar, and a laundry room where you can wash and dry your clothes – super convenient! The room had a full-length mirror, a mini-fridge (with complimentary drinks inside), and a five-star custom King Koil mattress. The hairdryer was a Laifen! That really impressed me. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay!

This exquisite, cream-themed B&B was a delightful surprise. The 'bubble bath room type' is essentially a blind box, where you're assigned a room with a hot tub based on that day's availability. We got the 'tipsy tub' room, which we loved! The river view from the window was also fantastic. Downstairs, the common area offers complimentary tea, coffee, and other beverages around the clock. Breakfast is a freshly prepared, single-serving meal with a different menu each day. The location is superb, making it easy to walk to the Starlight Night Market and explore Gaozhuang. Overall, a very comfortable stay.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around. It was also much quieter at night than I expected. During the National Day holiday, we even got to enjoy a fireworks display right from our balcony – what a treat! The service was incredibly thoughtful. After staying for 3 days, I felt every day that choosing this hotel was the right decision.

First time in Xishuangbanna, blindly chose this hotel and it was amazing. The environment is incredible for photos, and the service was excellent. Breakfast is freshly made every day and tastes superb!

Great location with a river view, amazing breakfast, and the little cabin was fantastic too!

Free pick-up service, once: business car pick-up, convenient and fast. Service: Came during the off-season and received a free room upgrade. The riverside room was more spacious and had a better environment. The breakfast for all three days was different, delicious, and beautifully presented, and could even be delivered to the room. Awesome!
