Seaview Hotels in Dali

"From the moment we booked, we felt warmly welcomed. The staff reached out to us via WeChat before our arrival and kindly arranged a complimentary pick-up service from the train station — a thoughtful touch that set the tone for our stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the entrance and guided through a smooth, hassle-free check-in process. The room was exactly as advertised: clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. We especially appreciated the addition of the smart toilet — a small detail that made a big difference in comfort. But the highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the stunning view from our room, overlooking the beautiful Erhai Lake. Waking up to that view every morning was simply unforgettable. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dali."

"I hurriedly came to Dali with my family to stay for one night. I originally booked another hotel online, but the pictures did not match the actual hotel and it was not near the sea. The most feared thing when booking a hotel is ”photo fraud”. I booked this hotel on the spur of the moment and made the decision after actually viewing the room. The location of the hotel is very good, the rooms are very large and very photogenic. The most important thing is that the proprietress, Sister Ai, is very enthusiastic and makes us feel that this is a warm homestay. Since we only had one day to visit Dali, Sister Ai recommended the best travel guide and rented a car for us, making this trip a perfect experience! Next time I come to Dali, I will stay here again!"

"The facilities are smart and well-equipped. The place was spotlessly clean and felt very comfortable. The owner was charming and gentle, and even chatted with us. It was such a joy to be accompanied by many adorable, affectionate pets who would actively seek us out to play. The environment offered a wonderful, picturesque ambiance. While spending time here, playing with the animals, daydreaming, and watching the clouds, time truly seemed to slow down. We absolutely didn't want to leave."

"Facilities: The room was my style – simple, elegant, and unpretentious. When I travel, I care most about the quality of the bedding, the room's layout, and the overall ambiance. Everything here was perfect; the bedding was soft and clean. The balcony also had two tatami mats and a small old wooden table that I particularly loved. I meditated there this morning, which was exactly what I needed – it helped clear away any lingering emotions from my sleep. After meditation, I quietly enjoyed some morning tea, read a book, and occasionally glanced out the window at Erhai Lake and the people in the scenery. This is perhaps the joy of a vacation. Cleanliness: The courtyard wasn't large, but it was cozy, clean, and had a touch of Scandinavian retro romance, perhaps because the owner, Brother Hua, enjoys motorcycles. Environment: Whether you step outside or not, Erhai Lake is always in sight. The main entrance faces Erhai Lake, showcasing the wisdom of the Chinese people to see the big picture in small details through Yunnan's unique natural landscape. There's a vast grassland right outside – I really want to describe it as a prairie, haha, it truly is a huge expanse of grassland, followed by small woods, and then Erhai Lake. Such a natural landscape can only be found at Erhai Lake! My room had a tatami-style balcony and a large open-air terrace. The bathroom was completely separate from the room, making it feel like a small suite, suitable for a family of three, or for sisters and couples. By the way, the name is Lazy Cloud Residence, which I especially loved, and my travel companions loved it too. Service: The owner is meticulous and knowledgeable about Dali. It's helpful to chat with her to avoid getting lost, especially during holidays when there are many cars and people. We accidentally fell into a pit, hahaha, the traffic was terrible! 😭 This trip was mainly to accompany a friend from Shenzhen on a cycling trip. His itinerary was quite demanding, otherwise I really wanted to stay a few more days. By the way, this place is perfect for cycling enthusiasts; there are S-shaped bends everywhere you go. We arrived at 2 pm, and my friend went cycling, completing a loop around Erhai Lake in four hours. We also went to the ancient town for a lot of food and drinks, but it wasn't very good. My sister's fried rice is still the best! 😄 Great value for money. Oh, and here's a little tip: if you prefer a quieter, more private place, definitely choose this spot. If you're on a budget, stay in a sea-view room for the first two days, then switch to a standard room for about half the price. Once you get used to it, you won't need the sea-view room anymore and can stay a couple more days! 😃😃😃 The cozy courtyard feels like home away from home. I've already planned to take my parents there! 🌞🌞🌞 My friends recommended it to me after visiting many times, and it's true, after going to Dali so many times, this time I finally connected with the place! I wrote this with all my heart, hahaha!"

"Beautiful: room ins wind, huge film. Love to take pictures can be brainless Location: 5 minutes walk from the s bay, but it can well isolate the noise of the market. Value added: 1, there are super super super super cute dogs in the presence 2, homeowners with stories (this plot requires skills to trigger) 3. Eat the homeowner's home meal ～ The family atmosphere is full ～ (this plot may also need skills to trigger) 4. The feeling of staying in a hotel is completely different from the feeling of a group or corporate homestay. There is also a living experience of ”human taste” and ”life taste”."

"Overall, we had a great experience staying at Anye. The view is superb and the surroundings are peaceful—you can even see the stars at night. We especially enjoyed the tea time and the evening dessert provided by the hotel, as well as the foot bath experience (with all the items thoughtfully prepared for us). Although the room is slightly dated, it was clean, which is the most important part. It's also very easy to contact the staff—just a quick ping on WeChat and they respond promptly. Location-wise, it's about a 10 to 15-minute drive from the ancient town. It can get quite dark when returning at night, so it really depends on your preference and schedule. I would recommend Anye if you're planning to stay near Erhai—bike rentals are available nearby and within walking distance."
