GGuest UserThis trip was with my parents, both elderly, touring Guangxi province, and Yangshuo was our second stop. Due to heavy rain the night before in Guilin (our first stop), the Li River was very muddy and offered little to see. However, this Alanduo Resort Hotel truly surprised me in a good way. Overall, I found it better than a hotel I stayed at next to Guihai Qinglan in July 2025. Here are the specifics:
**Facilities:** Quite comprehensive. A minor disappointment was that in our suite, two out of the four sets of toiletries were for children. I didn't specifically ask for adult toiletries, but I had communicated with the hotel via WeChat the previous night about my two 70-year-old parents traveling with me. So, it felt a little lacking in attentiveness or perhaps they forgot. I'm sure the hotel will be more considerate next time and notice these unspoken guest needs.
**Hygiene:** Generally good, nothing to complain about here, so I won't elaborate.
**Environment:** The rooftop viewing platform and the outdoor pool on the second floor are major highlights of the hotel. (Though it was raining the day we arrived in Yangshuo, so we couldn't enjoy the pool, which was a bit of a shame. I didn't have a strong desire to swim and hadn't packed a swimsuit, so I didn't inquire if the water had been changed after the rain.)
**Service:** The hotel's value-added services, such as complimentary fruit, afternoon tea, snacks, and late-night supper, were all quite good. It's a pity there was no coffee. (Speaking of coffee, I really want to complain – there are so few cafes or places offering coffee in Yangshuo! Even Yangshuo train station doesn't have a self-service coffee machine or a coffee shop. Most ridiculous, the only 3-4 convenience stores at the station don't even have instant coffee. There's a coffee stall in the parking lot outside the station; whether the coffee is drinkable is up to fate, and the owner wasn't there, so the neighboring vendor called her and she said she wasn't coming.) Additionally, there's a sign at the hotel front desk about discounts for attraction tickets and shows, which I confirmed to be legitimate.
Finally, I have to say, the hotel's customer service representative was a bit too honest. I only took 2-3 photos related to the hotel. I asked her for photos so I could write a review, and honestly, none of the ones she provided were usable. She probably doesn't understand what customers looking at reviews want to see. So, everyone, please make do with the picture of the hotel suite's master bedroom.
