"An excellent stay. The views from the rooms and terrace are spectacular. The staff were lovely and fantastically helpful. They spoke good English and were able to arrange all the trips we needed including transport and tickets. Not only that but they ensured the drivers took us to the right entry points and were clear about where to pick us up from. We were able to have a ‘tab’ and pay for all our food, trips and massages in one payment at checkout. They were able to take Visa and not just Alipay as was the case with other places we stayed. The building and garden are well designed and all the furniture and fittings have been carefully selected and are tasteful and attractive. The rural location means the views are spectacular but does mean it’s a 50 minute walk from town, but it is possible to get the free shuttle or arrange for a taxi. The food is good quality home cooked fare and there were plenty of vegetarian options and both western and Chinese food available. We had a fabulous stay and are grateful to the lovely staff for all their help"
"Really beautiful hotel, set away from the main town (but cheap and easy to get a taxi). Stunning view from the pool area and at night with the lighting it really is a special place. I was expecting a little more with the food, it was decent but not amazing! I took the boat from the dock at the foot of the property which was worth doing and less crowded than the other areas. "
"Xiaoming is an excellent host

What’s App was the best way to communicate
Xiaoming also makes a great Gin ‘n Tomic ! "
