Starting from good things. Room with private hot spring was nice and clean and bed and bed linen was great. Despite hot spring pool was leaking and needed to refill constantly. But no problem with that if water supply is turned on and you can operate yourself with valves. Hotel staff recommended many places for eating outside. Thanks for that!
We arrived before check in time and asked to spend our time near the pool area which was not problem. When I was looking for toilet then lady from shop told to me that I should go outside the territory and use toilet which is for camper van people. And it was not toilet but old school ditch. Fortunately it was cleaned.
Lot of things are in real life different than in pictures what you can find in web pages. Many hot springs was closed, on site was not operating restaurants and bars. Only you can order food from app or go outside. Area is under the airplanes take off route that means in daytime lot of noise.
About 6pm domestic water supply was turned off and situation lasted until our leaving next day about 11am. Hotel staff wrote that if you want to use toilet I should let them know and they will find a solution. No shower or washing. Breakfast was simple. In the breakfast area is operational coffee machine but for some reason lady behind the table told that not possible and drink cold pre brewed ice coffee? I hope that it’s not connected with lack of water supply. Machine may be filled with purified bottle water not local tap water.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room offered a beautiful view that made the experience even more relaxing. The environment around the hotel was peaceful and quiet, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The service was excellent as well—staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Overall, a great place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for comfort and tranquility.
It is definitely more wedding venue, more local oriented, very nice territory around, good for photoshoot and stuff , nice and friendly staff helped me a lot, but it was a bit confusing in general, like i booked it cause of hotsprings and outdoor pool, turns out you cannot use the outdoor pool and from all hot things was working only one stone bath. So basically we ended up in a very strange situation when 3 groups of people have or to wait in line to that bath or seat on each other. However Indoor pool was nice, big and clean, but bring your towel. The room itself is ...let's say not cosy and a lot reminded a changing room, probably cause of sink right next to the bed. So sum up, good place to have fun, massage, spa say, nice photos and so on, but maybe not a best place to stay for tourist.
KKareena BessonovaOh my goodness I have never stayed in a place like this! We live in a noisy city and come here felt like being in heaven. So peaceful and quiet. Our kids loved trying to catch fireflies in the night. We took a walk quite a distance from our cabin towards the hills and came back whrn it was pretty dark. We were able to see the milky way galaxy across the sky and so many stars that the only other place we ever saw tjat many stars was back in my country in the village with no light pollution.
Words cannot describe the tranquility of this placed the magnificence of nature and the peace and quite. The nights are so dark and quiet, felt like being somewhere in wild savanna. I heard some sounds of animals I had never heard before.
We will seriously make this place our frequent holiday detination for peace and quiet, nature and mental healing.
There were quite a number of activities for the kids but our kids were too young to participate. We were just quite happy going for walks and watching the stars at night. The grass looked so inviting and we wanted to roll down the hills hahaha but it was all fenced, which makes sense for safety. We heard there was a heard of elephants nearby.
We also loved in when it rained, the sound of raindrops on the leaves outside and on our leaves.
It’s definitely a place for poets and writers, artists and creative people. I was truly inspired and I mostly sat outside when the babies were napping, and read my Lord of the rings book that I took with me, as that place reminded me of hobbit-land and magic.
Coffee lovers must go, we had as many cups of coffee as we liked.
They also offered us hotpot for dinner and lunch.

KKatie P.Beautiful resort! Like a cruise ship, but on land. The food at the breakfast buffet was great with cereals, typical Chinese breakfast options of fried rice/lo mien/breakfast noodles, eggs, fruit, yogurt, coffee, pastries, and waffles/pancakes. Dinner was great, too, and we found that going a bit earlier helped to get fresh food and avoid holiday crowds. Patrick, the general manager was amazing and so kind. He stopped at a fair amount of people’s tables, despite being very busy during CNY, to make sure everything was ok.
The room was awesome. We overlooked the golf course. Mornings were foggy and crisp. Evenings were full of fireworks and we had a great vantage from our 3rd floor balcony to see many of the smaller displays. Our housekeepers were amazing and added nice touches each day such as extra coffee, towel art, and a fresh bit of bath salts.
Around the resort there is a lot to do from day hikes, a soak in the hot springs, golf (when the course is open), horse rides, jet skiing, and swimming. It was too chilly to swim in the outdoor pool at the hotel but the hot springs were perfect.
Just a quick note on the location of the resort - it is about a 45-minute drive from Jinghong. Some people we talked to didn’t realize that and thought that the starlight market was close by. DiDi drivers were readily available so getting back into the night market area wasn’t a problem.
For general things, we also had a lot of help from Echo. She was lovely and gave us a good idea of what do around the area.
