Jinghong Hotels with Bars

The hotel is in the villa area, very quiet, not like Gaozhuang noisy, very close to the airport, there is a large vegetable field in front of the hotel, the air is fresh, there are many people walking, the mattress I like very much, not particularly soft, very friendly to people with bad lumbar and cervical spine, the room has a hot spring pool, Stinky, really a natural hot spring! After soaking, the body is slippery. Breakfast is very rich in the homestay. The nutrition is matched. The children like it very much (all the dishes grown by the boss himself). The bath water does not happen when it is hot and cold. It is too comfortable to wash! This trip is relatively rushed, next time I have the opportunity to go to Banna, I must stay for two more days and enjoy it!

I checked out this morning and wanted to write down my experience from the past few days. My friend and I booked this hotel first, based on a recommendation, and then planned our vacation. As soon as we booked, we were added to the hotel's butler service group. I was so excited to visit the hotel even before our trip began! Our excitement was high on the flight from Tianhe to Gasa. We laughed and chatted all the way. As soon as we landed, we received a message from the hotel's driver, a lovely lady, saying she was at the airport and to take our time. It was so warm and thoughtful. On the way, she introduced us to Xishuangbanna and helped us plan our itinerary, which kicked off our four-day, four-night adventure. On the day we arrived, the hotel upgraded our room for free (it had a balcony with views of the Lancang River and Liming Bridge). We also received complimentary afternoon tea and snacks from the hotel (sweet ᵔᴥᵔ). We then had a special rice noodle dish (individually packed and unique). Afterward, we booked the hotel-Gaozhuang shuttle to explore the Starlight Night Market, where we bought many souvenirs (cute and unique). We also arranged our day trips to the Botanical Garden and Dai Ethnic Garden for the next day. After our sightseeing, we booked the Gaozhuang-hotel shuttle for 10 PM. We were exhausted when we got back to the hotel, so we each ordered a drink made by the hotel and headed back to our rooms. (The hotel even offers laundry service, which is incredibly thoughtful and made our experience even better). Early the next morning, a car picked us up and took us to the assembly point for our day trip (Mengbala Grand Theater). We embarked on a day of connecting with nature, experiencing ethnic culture, and having a lot of fun. The 'Saoduoli' (Dai girls) were all beautiful, and the 'Maoduoli' (Dai boys) were very friendly. The most fun and amazing part of the day was the water-splashing activity at the Dai Ethnic Garden, where we received a basin full of blessings (my 'eyes were wide open' ᵔᴥᵔ). That day, the butler also helped me retrieve a package. My inner monologue was a song lyric: '…unparalleled beauty.' Day three was a small group hiking trip to Jinuo Mountain, which we booked through the hotel's car fleet. It was so much fun!!! After breakfast at the hotel, our guide picked us up and drove us directly to Jinuo Mountain for a 4-kilometer wilderness hike. We were awestruck by the rainforest, vegetation, and small creatures. All six of us tourists were kept entertained by our guide throughout the journey. We tasted sour ants, spotted a bamboo viper (I found it first ʕ*ᴗ*ʔ), rode a bamboo raft, ate banana hearts, took tourist photos, and enjoyed a unique and delicious lunch. The experience was amazing! (I woke up with sore muscles the next morning ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ). After the hike, we also tried the hotel's beauty photography service. The makeup artist, photographer, and retoucher were all excellent, very professional, incredibly good value for money, and extremely patient. We were practically pampered into embryos ʕᵔ㉨ᵔʔ. On day four, we took a taxi directly from the hotel to the Main Buddhist Temple to visit the Dai King's Royal Garden. Finally, we took a taxi to Wantai, where we tried local specialties like 'Chong Jiao' (smashed chicken feet) and 'Paoluoda' (sweet coconut milk drink). The portions were generous! After eating, we strolled around and bought some handmade Thai crafts, which were really nice ᵔᴥᵔ. We originally wanted to explore the northern part of Xishuangbanna (via ferrata, primitive forest park), but the hotel was so popular that they informed us it was fully booked. Although the hotel offers luggage storage, we hadn't planned ahead, so we stuck to our original plan of heading to Kunming. Finally, I want to especially thank the hotel for their thoughtful, comprehensive, patient, and energetic service. Thank you to the two staff members who helped us load our luggage into the car when we checked out. They took care of us attentively from start to finish. It's no wonder they're so popular! (If you have the money and time, it's worth coming back countless times!!!) Throughout our trip, although we felt some places were a bit commercialized, it also made the journey simpler and allowed us to experience sincerity and warmth. Oh, by the way, we originally booked for two nights, and then applied to extend our stay for another two nights, which was even cheaper than the original price (double happiness)!!! Thanks again to the hotel staff, the car fleet drivers, and the beauty photography studio staff for always responding to our needs and following through on everything. I wish you continued prosperity and hope to see you again. ❃ႣᄎႣ❃ Future guests, don't worry! Although the hotel is on a hill, the views are fantastic, and getting around is very convenient (if you're a larger group or staying longer, you can charter a car and get a discount ʕ•⊖•ʔ). If you have any reasonable requests, don't hesitate to ask the butler for help. I wish you a pleasant journey ʢᵕᴗᵕʡ.

A hidden gem of a hotel in Banna, nestled atop a hill! My girlfriend and I booked a stay at Muxu to escape the crowded Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, and the overall experience far exceeded our expectations. The hotel seamlessly blends into the surrounding rainforest, with its public areas like the book bar, terrace, and rooftop infinity pool all offering fantastic photo opportunities. In the morning, clouds drift over the ridge, and at sunset, the sky is awash with a glorious glow – no filters needed for your photos here! The guest rooms are clean and tidy, with comfortable bedding and a full suite of high-end bathroom amenities. The mini-bar is stocked with soft drinks. The service is incredibly warm; our butler was always on hand whenever we needed anything. The perks are truly substantial: complimentary pick-up/drop-off, afternoon tea, and a late-night sweet soup. They even included a complimentary professionally retouched travel photoshoot, saving us the trouble and cost of booking a separate photographer. This hotel is perfect for those who appreciate tranquility, stunning views, and quality service. It's the ultimate choice for a relaxing, laid-back vacation!

1. I stayed at this guesthouse in Yunnan for 5 nights. I contacted them in advance, and they provided airport pickup service. 2. The room was spacious, giving my child plenty of room to play around. It had one double bed and one single bed. The room featured floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a pleasant view of the greenery outside. The toiletries provided were all of good quality; I didn't even need to use my own. There was even a lighted makeup mirror! The bathroom also had a dryer, which was very practical, especially since we needed to wash and dry underwear daily. This is a must-have for families with kids. They also provided a laundry basket and hangers for drying clothes, plus two types of slippers. Many details at this guesthouse are truly guest-oriented, anticipating guests' needs and making things convenient. It feels very thoughtful and is something all hotels and guesthouses could learn from. 3. Breakfast was served after 8 AM, a set menu that was very well put together. I especially loved their congee – it was delicious! The afternoon tea was also great, with good coffee, peach shortbread, and double-skin milk pudding. 4. The service was incredibly attentive! The staff and the proprietress were very enthusiastic. We could ask them for advice on dining and transportation, which was super convenient. On the day we checked in, they gave us a welcome kit with mosquito repellent, aloe vera gel, comfrey ointment, and an eye mask. My husband caught a cold, and they immediately prepared ginger water and ginger plaster for him. I was really touched! I hope they continue to operate with such dedication. Although the price during the Chinese New Year period was much higher than usual, the service and quality at this guesthouse made me feel it was totally worth it.

The place is very, very pleasant and the male host is gentle, friendly and helpful even with no english spoken. The dorm is quiet, spacefull and airy. Toilets are clean with hot running water. No soaps of any kind provided. There is a nice terrace where to relax. Unexpensive loundry. Bed is clean and comfortable with bed light and plagues. The only thing that really disappointed me was that the hostel doesn't provide TOILET PAPER: it is abnoxious, most of all because no one advises you (wechat information message) and you have to realise by yourself! Close to the long distance bus station and a colourful fresh food local market.

On the positive side, the hotel has quite a few recreational facilities, and the room amenities are decent and relatively new. On the negative side, the biggest problem is the excessive dampness in the room. It was uncomfortable to sleep in, and although the hotel changed the bedding, it didn't help much. This might be due to the humid air during the rainy season in Xishuangbanna, but two things puzzled me: 1) The front desk said no one else had reported this issue before. 2) I stayed at three hotels during this trip, and Zhucheng was the third. The other two were right next to Zhucheng, and their rooms didn't feel noticeably damp. Also, the hotel room didn't pay enough attention to some details. The sofa arrangement prevented the curtains from closing completely automatically; I had to manually close them. The refrigerator was also quite noisy, which affected my sleep.

My trip to Xishuangbanna this time was purely for the joy of daily sunbathing, and what I unexpectedly gained was the pleasant surprise of the Saipan Hotel. It brought me back to those warm and tranquil days I spent in Santorini many years ago. I later learned that the entire hotel was designed and built by a seasoned architect, who is also the owner. This explains the meticulous detail in every corner and the harmonious, rich overall style. The quality of the architecture itself greatly enhances the beauty of my photos! During my stay, each morning began with a warm cup of red date and rose tea, awakening my palate. In the afternoon, bathed in the winter sun, I'd relax on a loungewear by the Tiffany blue pool, surrounded by blooming pink bougainvillea, slowly sipping the complimentary passion fruit juice from the hotel. I also tried the highly-praised coconut sago pudding afternoon tea. In the evenings, I'd stroll leisurely through the starlight night market, soaking in the lively atmosphere. It was truly my fast energy recovery station, making me eagerly anticipate my next return here to recharge. Every traveler has their own set of preferences. On this trip, I also spent a week each at the Nanman Mijin Hotel and the Yueming Village Pineapple Hotel. However, the Saipan Hotel perfectly aligned with my aesthetic preferences and daily habits, especially my high demands for sleep quality. Coupled with its excellent value for money, it has naturally become my top choice for future stays in Xishuangbanna.

I booked 2 hotels in this area, for half of the week each. I had chosen them both due to their pools and beautiful looking rooms/facilities. The staff were incredibly helpful and responsive to my messages on WeChat. However, they admitted it was their first time having non-Chinese guests and there were various issues that they needed to improve. The tea ceremony left my parents confused, as there was no translation tool used, and very little explanation as to the session. In other situations, I have had tea ceremonies that involve explanation of how the tea is made, how it should be drunk, what sort of people drink this type of tea etc. (To overcome the disappointment of this, we were gifted a pack of the delicious tea however). We selected this hotel based on the pool facilities mostly and were very disappointed to arrive to dirt-filled pool water that had branches and other debris inside. The staff were very apologetic and explained the recent storms caught them unawares. However, little action was taken to clean the pools until I raised this matter. When we went to the second hotel of my choice, they had more pools, all of which were clean and full of water, even though the same storm would have hit them. The photo shoot was great, and the photographer was excellent. The rooms were comfortable and the seating area was nice. We did not use the sitting area within the pool section however, due to the dirty pool etc. The breakfast was only served to us on our first day, and then a buffet on the second day. For us, we personally preferred the buffet so that we could select our portion sizes ourselves. I think over time, the staff will become more confident with foreign guests and this resort will be greatly enjoyed.

My friend and I booked a hotel near Manting Park because we had to go to the airport the next day. It's a 10-minute taxi ride to the airport. The hotel building is grand and impressive. The twin room was a good size with two beds, perfect for two girls to sleep comfortably. The bedding was clean and odorless, and the room environment was also very clean. The smart devices and toiletries were comprehensive. It was also very quiet, so I wasn't bothered by noise at night. The hotel service was excellent. When our car parked at the hotel entrance, the butler immediately came to help with our luggage and guided us to the room. My friend's foot was chafed, and they even provided a first-aid kit with band-aids. On the B1 floor, there's an infinity pool. The breakfast was also the most extensive I've seen in Xishuangbanna so far, and the rice noodles were delicious! The entire building leans more towards a business style, suitable for families. It was a very comfortable stay for our last night in Xishuangbanna.

It is more like a boutique hotel. The rooms are quite clean and spacious. The staff was helpful all the time, although the pool was not clean as I would expect, also no western breakfast aside from the toast with butter and jam, and no proper latte or cappuccino. I was unfortunate for having the workers next to my room, because they were building another hotel. But once their duty was over, it was quite silent and calm. It is close to the night market, just 15-20 minutes waking distance and 10 minutes away to the theater. There are several options around for food, tourist agencies and spas. Overall, I had a nice stay!
