Dali City Hotels with Pools

I booked a garden view room which came with two small courtyards, one in the front and one in the back. The room was spacious and very clean. Opening the window to see the blue sky and white clouds was incredibly relaxing. 😎 The hotel's back entrance leads to a parking lot, making it convenient for parking and calling for a ride. The front entrance is right next to an ecological corridor, and directly across from Erhai Lake! Extremely convenient! The hotel's location is excellent, offering peace and quiet yet close to everything. Misan Bookstore, which is absolutely beautiful and perfect for photos, is just a 200-meter walk away. Later, when we cycled past Caicun Village and S-bay, it was crowded with people and cars, which made me appreciate the hotel's location even more. 👍 The hotel staff, especially the gentlemen, were also great. They helped us plan our itinerary, and the food was fantastic – we even came back to the hotel for dinner twice! There was also an afternoon tea and sweet soup in the evening, which was a nice touch! Overall, highly recommended!

Warm Light by Erhai Lake Once again, we say goodbye with that familiar ache of reluctance in our hearts. Yet this farewell is softened by a unexpected tenderness—a beautiful twist of fate. A sudden bout of altitude sickness in Lijiang forced us to alter our plans and return to Dali. Little did we know this detour would lead us to the most wonderful surprise: XingMu Villa, tucked away on the green slopes of Haidong. Perhaps this was destiny's gentle hand at work all along? We were truly blessed to meet the villa's kind-hearted owners, whose genuine warmth made us feel as though we had returned to a home we never knew we had. The goodbye was especially moving. When our driver, Master He, arrived, the owners personally came out to see us off. We shared joyful smiles in a farewell photo, and they gifted us my favorite rose tea—a touching gesture I'll always remember. The hostess, aware of my recent knee injury, carefully helped me into the car, her eyes filled with such sincere care, as if I were her own. When she said how much she enjoyed hosting us and how special we were to her, my heart echoed every word. Though every wonderful journey must eventually end, the memories we've made here will stay with us forever. As our car carried us away, the gentle scent of rose tea still lingered, a fragrant reminder of this heartwarming chapter. Until we meet again, XingMu Villa. May you continue to shine brightly, and may every traveler who finds their way to your doors experience the same extraordinary warmth that embraced us during our stay.

Yunnan hotels really go all out to outcompete each other, and hotels in Shuanglang are even more competitive than those in the ancient town. This particular B&B, Tinghuadao, offers stunning beachfront views, a lavish afternoon tea, and even complimentary tremella soup in the evening. They'll even wash and dry your clothes for you – they really focus on providing emotional value and a great experience. Honestly, I was in a bit of a bad mood after the long, traffic-filled drive. But as soon as we arrived at the parking lot, two staff members were there to greet us – one to help with luggage and the other to guide us. Upon arrival, we were offered drinks and our room was upgraded. The room was incredibly well-equipped with high-quality amenities; I've only encountered such comprehensive provisions in a few hotels in Japan. The staff member who showed us to our room mentioned that everything was complimentary and we could use and consume as much as we liked. We were also assigned a butler, who was incredibly responsive and took care of everything for us. As the sun set, we enjoyed the view, had some food, listened to the music from nearby bars, and later, counted the stars – it was truly delightful. The breakfast on the second day was exquisite, and the restaurant itself was very aesthetically pleasing. After breakfast, we spent some time taking photos around the hotel's scenic spots – our tie-dye outfits from the day before weren't wasted! When we checked out, a staff member drove us back to the parking lot, gave us a lovely souvenir, and even reimbursed our parking fees. They really went above and beyond. I'd read reviews about some B&Bs in Shuanglang not living up to their online descriptions, so we were a bit worried about a bad experience when we booked. But as soon as we arrived, all our worries disappeared. When I shared photos with my friends, everyone was asking which hotel it was! I hope Tinghuadao maintains its high standards, combining beautiful scenery, excellent service, and quality to ensure its long-term success.

The room was fantastic, located on the ground floor with a lovely garden. The entrance was bursting with vibrant flowers and lush plants, yet we could still catch glimpses of Erhai Lake from the window. It was so relaxing to sit in the courtyard, admiring the sea and the blooms. The hotel's public areas were also wonderful, with beautiful flowers and succulents adorning the entire courtyard, giving it a charming vibe. The lobby was impressive too, serving breakfast and afternoon tea. The restaurant and tea room offered full sea views. The hotel even provided a complimentary afternoon tea every day, which included fruit and flower cakes – they were delicious and my child absolutely loved them. The hotel's location is incredibly peaceful. The beach along Erhai Lake right outside felt like our own private stretch, with hardly any other people or cars. It was perfect for walking and cycling, and my child could ride bikes and run around safely, making it ideal for a family trip.

We chose Coco as our butler for our trip to Dali, and the hotel was a pleasant surprise! Check-in at the front desk was efficient and quick, and the staff were incredibly helpful, even offering thoughtful advice on travel routes and reminding us about the tidal lane in advance, which made our self-drive smooth and safe. The guest room was meticulously cleaned, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent – I slept soundly until morning. The hotel is close to the ancient city, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. Both the facilities and services are top-notch. I truly recommend it to all travelers.

During my leisure time, I went to the Seaview Bookstore to await the sunrise, enjoyed three types of tea, made rubbings of horse talismans, and sewed herbal sachets, then took a leisurely walk on the less-traveled forest path. The garden itself has a Kyoto-esque tranquility. The Weishan Braised Pork Er'si at the morning noodle station was the biggest surprise, and the medicinal pork hock with wild mushroom oil was an authentic Yunnan flavor that I instantly fell in love with. For breakfast, you can even choose a Hello Kitty plate, which is super cute! The view right outside the window is stunning, with Cangshan Mountain in full view. This was an excellent staycation experience.

Facilities: Very complete and comprehensive, with a separate wet and dry area, plus a private hot spring tub. Hygiene: The room was clean and tidy. Environment: The environment is absolutely fantastic. You step out and see Erhai Lake right there. Lying on the lounge chairs by the entrance, enjoying the breeze, is incredibly relaxing. There are also many picturesque spots perfect for photos. Service: The service was absolutely amazing!!! There's a shuttle bus available for pick-up and drop-off, which is super thoughtful and convenient.

Booked through Trip.com, we got a 2-person package that included entrance to the Three Pagodas, which was decent. The breakfast was Hilton-style and quite varied. We booked a deluxe lake view room for two adults and one child, and they upgraded us to a lake view room on the 7th floor. We also received welcome fruit and a mini-bar with a few drinks and alcoholic beverages. The overall service was pretty good! (٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)ᵒᵏᵎᵎᵎᵎ) If you're staying in Caicun, like we did a few days ago, taking a taxi to the Hilton is definitely convenient.

Cangshan No. 1 is a hotel with advanced concepts. The management model is a team of butlers who create a feeling of home for guests and think of everything in front of them. The environment is beautiful and beautiful, with swimming pools, white beaches, coconut trees... creating a different paradise. Every employee has a strong sense of priority and their service attitude is excellent, gentle and comfortable. Not only did he take the initiative to inquire, but he also introduced the characteristics and customs of the Bai people in a very thoughtful way. The room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Each room has its own bathing pool, dry and wet are separated, and even the toilet is fully automatic. Very clean! Breakfast and afternoon tea are richly prepared and have local characteristics. There is also a heart-warming evening sweet soup every night. My family and I felt that choosing Cangshan No. 1 for this trip was a great value!

The B&B I stayed in during my trip to Dali was truly a delightful experience! The moment we opened the door, the two rows of purple Clivia orchids were breathtakingly beautiful. The courtyard room we booked was even more charming, private, and cozy. The B&B is located in a prime neighborhood with clear signage and a luxurious feel. The B&B is conveniently located, making it easy to reach Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, and the city center, especially without lugging luggage. There are also many authentic local restaurants nearby. This stay was a perfect experience, with excellent value for money. The service from the host was excellent, and the breakfast made by the aunt was delicious.
