Deqing Hotels with balcony

"We stayed for four nights in a four-bedroom villa with my parents and two kids (boys aged 9 and 11). We arrived in late June, right after school let out for summer vacation. When we checked in, it was just after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in China, so there were a lot of guests checking out. However, the front desk handled everything very efficiently. Our room wasn't ready until after 3 PM, but that was understandable. The hotel has several restaurants. Yanlai Xuan and Rainforest Restaurant are always open, with others rotating. The variety of dishes is extensive, and the flavors have a Southern Chinese (Jiangnan) flair. We tried the mini hot pot once and absolutely loved it; it was a truly satisfying meal. The Western food was also great, especially the Thai grilled chicken – it was tender and delicious. As for activities, my kids were busy all five days we were here. For their age, the water park was the biggest draw. The seven combination slides never had a queue, which made it incredibly fun! The wave pool was also a hit; once they were in, they didn't want to leave. The Bamboo Forest Shuttle was unique and had no queues either – the ride down was exhilarating! The Spiderweb Climbing area was also fantastic, with a large and tall structure that's quite rare to see. Even with a light rain, the kids didn't want to come down. The only regret is that the Mine Pit play area wasn't open this time; I hope we can experience it on our next visit. Besides playing with the kids, adults can also enjoy a singing bowl healing session. Baolin An has a serene environment, and the practitioner is very professional. A session of singing bowls and a chat filled with life philosophies can truly help one feel relaxed and joyful, both physically and mentally. The villa rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Fresh fruits and beverages are replenished daily, and the housekeepers are very efficient. The log cabin area has an elegant and tranquil atmosphere. Everywhere you look, whether in the park or on the hillside, there's lush greenery. Along the shaded paths, you occasionally catch whiffs of floral fragrance. The croaking of frogs and chirping of cicadas intertwine to create a summer night serenade. For city dwellers accustomed to noise, coming here is incredibly relaxing. If you enjoy walking, you can easily get in over 10,000 steps daily. If not, transportation is very convenient. There are shuttle buses with different routes downstairs from the lobby, all operating in an orderly fashion. You can call for a car to any attraction in the park at any time; it takes as little as 5 minutes during off-peak times and 15 minutes during peak hours. Finally, I'd like to extend a special thanks to our butler, Xiao Lian. She communicated with us throughout our stay via WeChat, always responding promptly and professionally to all our requests. She is a dedicated and earnest young woman. In fact, all the service staff we encountered in the park were very professional, service-oriented, and excellent at problem-solving. This is by far the best overall quality of staff we've seen in any family-friendly hotel in mainland China. It's particularly noteworthy that we lost items twice, and the staff helped us find them both times. Once was a small children's watch, which the staff incredibly found in the huge water park after two days of searching. The other was an e-reader; even after we had checked out, the hotel called us to inquire and arranged for it to be couriered to us. We are incredibly grateful 🙏 As we were leaving, both kids were already asking to come back next year. They even kept their water park wristbands on, unwilling to take them off, saying they wanted them as souvenirs. I also look forward to returning with my whole family to enjoy this fun, delicious, and comfortable haven."
