Qing Pu Villa

Dali

"We had a very restful stay at Qing Pu Villa. it is in a beautiful corner of Jingsuo island. The team took care of us very well, led by Lysand. Food was superb and the rooms are beautifully furnished with adequate facilities for the cold. Ly Sand is warm and friendly, even carrying our 2 month old baby who was fussy while we enjoyed our meals. The staff dried out our shoes with a warmer before we left and they were delightful to wear ! This is a hidden gem!"

"The first visual impression of Secret Manor was a very positive one- classic ancient Chinese architecture. We are greeted by friendly staff who took care of our luggages and sat us down. Refreshments were served while the staff worked on the check-in. After which, the staff brought us to our room and explained the details on switches and other amenities.

Dali Taoxi Secret Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Manager Kadi took care of us very well, especially looking after our special request for halal food. On our day of departure he was even kind enough to drop us off at a halal restaurant for lunch on the way to the train station in his personal vehicle. The room was very spacious and all the staff were very kind and helpful. The Thai spa is a must try!"

Manjing Banshan Haijing Huayuan Jiudian

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great. There is a neighborhood cat that comes over at breakfast and it’s very cute. The staffs are very personal. It’s like living at a friend’s home. The sea view was amazing from the room. I could see the beautiful sunrise and sunset over Erhai everyday! The area is very clean and quiet but it is a little far from the tourist spots like ancient towns. "

Dali Old Courtyard Boutique Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a great place , staff was super helpfull and help us with a guide for a day (ask for Nancy she is the best). The hotel is clean and the rooms are big and comfortable. As Dali's old town is closed for cars please contact the hotel a day before you arrive so they can help you with the suitcases. "
