"Given the price point and promotional claims, I had high expectations for a well-rounded and flawless destination. However, it fell far short of expectations.
**Cleanliness:** Perhaps a bit too close to nature for comfort? There were small spiders by the bed, cockroaches were present both at the main entrance and in the courtyard, and the pool contained dead insects, including two large bees and various small critters. To top it all off, I woke up with bites that weren't like typical mosquito bites – they were red, swollen, hard, and had three distinct points. Even on the fifth day, they were still hard. An online search suggested they were most likely flea bites, which was incredibly frustrating.
**Facilities:** For a standard room type costing 1688 RMB/night during peak season, I was disappointed. It's worth noting that the 'courtyard room' actually offers two types of views: one with distant mountain views, and the other, like mine (see photo), with no view at all – something for future guests to consider. The room's aesthetic is minimalist, which also means the overall facilities are quite basic. Personally, I felt the in-room amenities didn't justify the price. On the positive side, the public areas are exceptionally well-maintained, featuring pristine lawns, a large pool, stunning scenery, and paddleboards/glass boats readily available. The heated pool water is a huge bonus, and I highly commend that.
**Layout:** The toilet area is open-plan, and the shower area has no door, meaning anyone showering or using the toilet is essentially facing each other, as are the shower and vanity/sink. While this might be fine for a family, it's something other guests should be aware of.
**Service:** I had expected butler service but didn't experience any. Whenever I had an issue, I had to contact the front desk directly via Ctrip. Thankfully, their response was prompt, whether it was for luggage assistance or delivering supplies to the room.
**Dining & Activities:** Breakfast was plentiful and excellent – highly recommended. In the evenings, there were live singing performances on the lawn, where you could order drinks and snacks, which were also very good.
In summary, while I found the location itself quite enjoyable, the room facilities didn't justify the price, and the hygiene issues should absolutely not be this severe. If cleanliness could be improved, it would be a worthwhile stay at off-peak prices, but I wouldn't recommend it during peak season."
