Yingde Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"The hotel's scenery lives up to its promotional images; it truly is a garden-style hotel. All facilities are well-equipped, and the cleanliness is impressive – everything feels dry and tidy. Just remember to bring your own disposable toilet seat covers, as everything else is provided. From 2 PM to 5 PM, they offer sweet soups, and the breakfast selection is excellent, with both Chinese and Western options available. The hot water pool on the top floor is also wonderfully relaxing. There's a campsite next door which can be a bit noisy in the evenings, but it doesn't go on late, so it's manageable. Regarding the location and nearby attractions: it's a 15-minute drive to T3 Tea Garden, a 6-minute walk to Xiao Zhaozhou Bridge, a 10-minute drive to Heshun Rock, and Dongtian Fenglin is also not far. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel. The parking lot is very spacious, accommodating plenty of cars. There's also a restaurant very close by that serves delicious roasted chicken. Finally, a special thanks to the front desk lady who upgraded us to a mountain view room when it wasn't busy. The view was absolutely stunning, and we got to see a beautiful sunset."

"Our stay was absolutely fantastic! My friend and I specifically booked a room with a private hot spring, and it even had a projector screen, so we were never bored while soaking. The infinity pool on the 4th floor is absolutely stunning! Lying on a lounge chair by the pool, with the mountain breeze, truly felt like a perfect getaway. The hotel's service was impeccable from the moment we booked. They proactively called to confirm our reservation, added us on WeChat to share travel tips, and even gave us free tickets to the T3 Tea Garden and Shan Kala Kala Camp. We also got to see a breathtaking sunset in the evening – this pastoral scenery is incredibly therapeutic."

"The accommodation experience (Chocolate Kingdom Hotel) was terrible. 1. Those staying on the first or second floor had to navigate a maze-like maze to find the elevator to their room. This was very inconvenient for the elderly and children. 2. For stays exceeding one night, the room key had to be activated at the front desk the following day, a daily hassle. 3. The breakfast was mediocre, with very little food. 4. On the first floor, the toilet automatically filled with water that wouldn't recede. Other guests on the same floor experienced the same issue and had to change rooms. Another room also had a leak. Judge for yourself. 5. Looking at previous reviews, I found similar cases. It seems this problem hasn't been properly addressed and hasn't been taken seriously. 6. The hotel's exterior is okay, but its location is nestled around a mountain. Consider carefully before traveling there."

"The place is modern and wonderful. Suitable for groups of friends and families to spend their holidays together. The host is so kind to upgrade us to a better suite. As for dinner, he sent us a bottle of white wine as a gift. The surrounding environment is serene and pleasant. Breakfast is sufficient for us. If we happened to visit this area again, we will definitely be staying there once more."

"This B&B nestled among the peaks offers stunning views of the limestone karsts. The room was spacious, and from our window, we overlooked a beautiful backyard lawn, swimming pool, hot spring, and BBQ area. We enjoyed the hot spring in the evening; the water was perfectly warm and very relaxing. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The young man at the front desk was very enthusiastic and helpful, and we really appreciated his restaurant recommendations. The hotel breakfast was also good. We even received complimentary tickets to the T3 Tea Garden. Right across from the hotel is a passion fruit orchard, and a bit further down, there's a banana plantation. All in all, we were very lucky to book such a great hotel."

"1. Best service. Especially a Liu*Mei for breakfast? The staff are very dedicated. Sorry I didn't remember all their names. There was no watermelon for breakfast at that time, and the child told her about it. She immediately brought a big watermelon to cut and peeled the skin carefully, comparable to a five-star hotel. Even her mother was not as careful as she was when cutting watermelon for her child. 2 The price is reasonable. During the National Day holiday, the average room cost two to three hundred yuan, and it seems that the price has not increased much. The suite we booked cost a little more than usual. Booking on holidays will be expensive, so it is recommended that you book at least one day in advance. The suite I booked cost more than 700 yuan on the day of booking, but less than 600 yuan a day in advance. 3. The surrounding area is fun. It is very close to the Hongqi Tea Factory, 1.7 kilometers away. I had a great time playing in the tea factory for a day. The most worthwhile experience is picking and making tea by myself. The tea tree is an old one. I made Yinghong No. 9 green tea myself. When I got home and drank it, it was comparable to the raw Pu'er tea from the ancient tree. There is a Chocolate Kingdom 2.8 kilometers away. There is no need to queue during the National Day holiday. Children under 1.4 meters tall can enjoy all the activities. 4 Complain about breakfast. Booked a suite with breakfast, but only 2 breakfasts were provided. Children over 1.4 meters tall will be charged 38 yuan for breakfast. It feels like the dim sum is not freshly made and the quality is so-so. During my two-day stay, I only ate freshly made soup noodles and vegetables. 5 The food in the self-operated restaurant next to the hotel is very good. Went there twice. Suggestion for the hotel: It would be perfect if the breakfast could be improved."

"The hotel is located on 'Swan Lake' which made for pretty photos from our room balcony. The rooms were clean and spacious, with bottled water replaced every day. There was a fridge, but no mini bar. It was very quiet when we stayed, it seemed like tour groups came for 1 night then left the next The attractions the other side of the lake was fun. We loved the glass bridge and the motorboats as well as the bumper cars and road train. You will need to pay extra for some of the attractions, but at a minimal cost. The cave was amazing, and the lighting helps with the atmosphere. Our guide spoke in Mandarin, but this didn't hinder our enjoyment, plus other tourists were happy to translate 😀. There was lots of choice at breakfast, but it didn't really change from one day to the next. I rekindled my love of boiled peanuts! The hot springs were indeed hot, but they were a little rundown, with some of the spa areas not working. Over all, We had a lovely stay. The staff were friendly and helpful."

"The entire hotel really showcases a lot of thought and effort in its design, especially with all the small details – you can snap a great picture almost anywhere. The butler service was excellent and very attentive, and all the staff were proactive and welcoming. Our room overlooked the pastoral scenery through a full-length window, making it incredibly comfortable and airy. However, due to the overall design style, there's nowhere to hide or block views within the room. If you're not a couple, this might be a bit inconvenient. A small suggestion: adding blinds to the toilet and shower room doors would be helpful. Also, it would be great if some soft cushions could be provided in the cabinet for the tatami area, available for guests to use if needed. If you're looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle, this is a wonderful place for a getaway. On clear days, you can catch beautiful sunsets, and at night, you can look up to a sky full of stars and fall asleep to the sounds of nature. Just a heads-up: the pool wasn't open yet during our visit, and you need to communicate with the butler in advance to use the public hot spring area. The restaurant serves excellent new-style fusion cuisine with a farmhouse flair, and the butler will arrange everything perfectly for you. Overall, it was a very good experience, and I'd consider staying here again if I have the chance!"

"The room was spacious and decent, though the mattress was a bit too soft for my liking. The views, however, were absolutely stunning! We had dinner at the hotel; the price was reasonable, but the taste was rather plain, reminiscent of simple home-cooked food. On the bright side, the breakfast soy milk was delicious, and the fruit quality was excellent. This place is truly perfect for unwinding and contemplation; it's very therapeutic. The drive up the mountain was a bit nerve-wracking the first time, as we drove slowly, cautious of oncoming cars. By the time we drove back down, we'd adapted and felt much more comfortable. It rained throughout our two-day stay, but enjoying the rainy scenery was actually quite pleasant. We'd love to come back when the weather is clear to catch the sunset. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain, we couldn't make use of the complimentary scenic area tickets."

"It is still very comfortable to come to Chocolate Kingdom in the off-season. Compared with the Spring Festival, there are very few people now, and no one competes for hot springs in the public area. Moreover, the villa's hygiene is well maintained during the off-season, and the living room and guest rooms are all tidy. At first, I was worried that they were not taken care of carefully. The housekeeper was also very considerate, greeting us as soon as we arrived and helping us with our luggage."
