Hotels in Haidong Town/Ideal City, Dali City

The hotel's exterior is very photogenic. The service was exceptional. Since the hotel is located on a hillside and has no elevator, the staff kindly helped carry our luggage up and down during check-in and check-out. They also offer airport shuttle service. When we left, they even gave us a small gift. There's also a children's playground. The bedding was clean. I've stayed at other B&Bs before where the bedding wasn't clean and caused itching, requiring me to use disposable sheets, but I had no issues here.

We recently stayed at the Songyun Skyline Seaview Holiday Hotel in Dali, and it completely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was truly top-notch. Our room was huge, beautifully and spotless—the attention to detail regarding cleanliness was remarkable. Waking up to those stunning views was a highlight of our trip. A special shoutout goes to the housekeeping team, 管家： Allen and 佳慧 (Jiahui). Their dedication, warmth, and attentiveness made us feel so well cared for throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was comfortable and pristine. If you are visiting Dali and looking for a luxurious, comfortable stay with service that makes you feel at home, this is the place to be. Will definitely recommend!

I brought my child to Dali to relax after their exams, and we booked a lake-view room on the second floor. Initially, I was worried the view might be poor due to the low floor, but those worries were completely unfounded! The floor-to-ceiling windows framed the entire lake and mountains like a natural painting. We had a panoramic view of the clear sky, blue water, distant mountains, and green trees. The swing inside the room was a huge hit with my child; they spent half the day on it. We didn't have to rush our itinerary; we just slowly enjoyed the breeze and watched the shimmering lake, experiencing a rare, leisurely pace of life. The room was clean and bright, with refreshing marble floors, and opening the window revealed a healing lake view. My child completely relaxed and shed all the fatigue from exam preparation. The hotel environment is thoughtfully designed, tranquil and restorative – it's definitely our top choice for family trips. We'll be back for our next vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at Hidden Mist (listed on Trip.com as Santorini National Tide Sea View Resort). If you are looking for a relaxing stay with beautiful lake views, outstanding hospitality, and easy access to the Dreamland Resort area, I would happily recommend this hotel and would stay here again. Location: The hotel is located within Dreamland Resort on the eastern side of Dali, approximately 20 minutes from the airport, 30 minutes from the railway station, and around an hour from Dali Ancient City. We stayed near the Ancient City first before moving here, which I would recommend for anyone wanting to explore both sides of Dali. The resort is large, beautifully maintained, and very walkable. Complimentary golf cart shuttles regularly transport guests around the resort, while taxis are easy to arrange from the main entrance. There are quite a few staircases throughout the property, so it may not be ideal for guests with limited mobility. Service: The service was exceptional and one of the biggest highlights of our stay. Before we even arrived, the hotel contacted us by email and created a dedicated WeChat group with staff from different departments so we could ask questions or request assistance at any time. Everything felt organised, personal, and effortless. From the moment we arrived, a golf cart was waiting to collect us from the resort entrance. Throughout our stay, the staff regularly checked in to ensure everything was going well and genuinely cared that we were comfortable. The handwritten welcome note, housekeeping notes after each room clean, and staff asking what time would be most convenient to service our room were thoughtful touches that made us feel truly looked after. Although our booking only included a complimentary airport or railway station pickup, the hotel kindly arranged an airport drop-off instead because we had arrived from another part of Dali. This was greatly appreciated. Room & Cleanliness: We booked a room with a private garden overlooking Erhai Lake, and it was absolutely worth it. Waking up to the peaceful lake view each morning quickly became one of our favourite parts of the stay. The room and bathroom were spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Everything still feels new and exceptionally clean. The large soaking bath, with bath milk replenished daily, was perfect after a day of exploring. The shower had excellent water pressure. As someone with very long hair, I found the shampoo and conditioner a little drying, so I would recommend bringing your own. The secure WiFi was reliable and fast enough for both my husband and me to work during our stay. Breakfast & Dining: Breakfast was excellent, with a choice between a Western breakfast and a local Yunnan set menu. We tried both, and every meal was fresh, well presented, and delicious. As we had an early flight on our final morning, the hotel prepared a takeaway breakfast for us, another thoughtful gesture that reflected the level of service throughout our stay. Our booking also included complimentary afternoon tea with cakes and fresh fruit. It would have been even better if guests could also choose a complimentary tea or coffee. The room includes quality tea, a premium kettle, and a mini fridge, although adding coffee would be a welcome touch, especially in Yunnan. Facilities & Surroundings: The hotel has a convenient power bank rental station in the lobby, and Dreamland Resort is full of beautiful cafés, viewpoints, and photo spots. Flomis Garden is less than a five-minute walk away, making it incredibly convenient for visitors. Our booking also included a traditional tea ceremony experience, which unfortunately we did not have time to attend. We also received a beautiful woodblock print as a farewell gift, which was a lovely surprise. Overall: Hidden Mist combines beautiful accommodation with genuinely outstanding hospitality. The attentive staff, thoughtful personal touches, spacious rooms, exc

【Convenient Travel】Airport transfer (choose one) or airport/high-speed rail station transfer for stays of two consecutive nights (choose one of four): It's only a 10-minute drive from the airport, which is super convenient. Plus, the lady at the front desk was waiting for me early in the morning to drive me, which was very thoughtful. Facilities: The room facilities really offer great value for money. There's a mini-fridge, a Laifen negative ion hairdryer just like the one I use at home, and the central air conditioning heats up very quickly! Environment: The Erhai Lake is right outside, so I watched the sunrise in the morning, had breakfast, and felt fantastic.

Staying at Songyun Cliff was a fantastic experience. The hotel is nestled against the mountains and faces the sea, offering breathtaking views. The room was spotless, and the facilities were well-maintained. The butler service was attentive, addressing our needs promptly. It was convenient to use the hotel's laundry service for dirty clothes after outings; they were washed, separately packed, and returned to us. Enjoying the Erhai lake scenery with the sea breeze was so relaxing and pleasant. It's definitely a great choice for a vacation in Dali.

The service was excellent. From the moment we checked in, they noticed we had a lot of luggage and thoughtfully helped us take it to our room. As a family-friendly hotel, they had everything ready for the kids: bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, a footstool, and even Wangzai milk. There aren't many dining options nearby, but the simple noodles offered by the hotel in the evening were perfect for the little ones. The room and the Golden Storm area were fantastic, the kids absolutely loved it. A nice little detail was the showerhead having a lower setting specifically designed for children.

Families, come and stay here! It was an amazing experience (not a shill, purely my own voluntary feelings). We loved it so much that on the second day, we decided to extend our stay for a whole week! 🥹 From the welcoming atmosphere, the staff, the accommodation environment, to the food, everything was arranged to meet guests' needs. For two young people who usually skip breakfast, the fact that we consistently had breakfast for a whole week speaks volumes about the freshness and deliciousness of the food! The environment is very artistic, comfortable, and clean, with many spots perfect for handsome guys and beautiful ladies to take photos! The boss, staff, manager, and butler were all incredibly enthusiastic and we're so grateful for their thoughtful hospitality towards us, visitors from out of town 💖 This will definitely be our top choice in Dali again next time!!

The sea-view room on the third floor offers a fantastic view. The restaurant next door is delicious, and within a ten-minute walk, you'll find Haidong Town with pharmacies, fruit stalls, and all sorts of local snacks, so convenience is not an issue.

We were really pleased with our stay at the YueLianZhuang parent-child slide room. The kids absolutely loved the slide in the room, and we enjoyed the private hot spring bath. The room was spacious with a great sea view, and all the children's amenities were provided. The butler was very responsive, and the buggy service to and from the car park was convenient. The afternoon tea and goodnight sweet soup added a nice touch of ceremony. The rooftop view was incredible, with an infinity pool, swings, and a glass platform – perfect for photos, especially at sunset over Erhai Lake. Just a heads up, it gets quite windy on the rooftop, so make sure to keep a close eye on the little ones.
