Daxin Hotels with Pools

I booked a trip with two of my best friends to Lux Secret Retreat in Chongzuo, and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. The most delightful surprise was the hotel's signature bamboo raft afternoon tea. Because of the heavy rain beforehand, the water level was too high, so we couldn't go. Doris from the hotel kept a close eye on the situation for me and immediately contacted me and made a reservation as soon as it was possible on our check-out day. The bamboo raft gently glided through the clear water and lush bamboo groves, with delicate refreshments and fruit drinks. As we drifted, the unique peaks on both sides slowly receded into the distance, making for fantastic photos. My friends and I chatted and admired the scenery – the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. A romantic afternoon tea combined with thoughtful service – it was all wonderful!

We had a lovely stay at Mingshi Yaju Hotel. The hotel staff were kind and accommodating. The buffet breakfast was tasty and there was enough variety to choose from. The room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The amenities inside were great too. We made use of the gym and the pool. During our second day, the hotel let us use their bicycles to explore around Mingshi. Overall the experience was relaxed and enjoyable. Unfortunately there was a little bit of construction happening nearby, but it didn’t generate too much noise and in the evening everything was quiet and peaceful. For dinner was chose not to eat at the hotel, but rather to explore the restaurants around just outside of the park area. I had a great time and would recommend to friends.

I did a lot of research online before coming to Chongzuo, and it turns out choosing Mingshi Courtyard was an incredibly smart decision! First, the facilities are excellent. The room is huge, with a split-level design. Downstairs is the living room and bathroom, and a balcony with views of the garden and pool. Upstairs is the bedroom, a very reasonable separation of living and sleeping areas. Crucially, there's almost no light pollution or noise, which is truly rare and wonderful. Secondly, the service is outstanding. Many hotels offer butler service groups, but the Mingshi Courtyard's butler was the most responsive I've encountered. From golf cart transfers and addressing requests to providing directions and more – during my four-day stay, every single staff member I met was smiling, warm, attentive, and patient. It felt like they all owned the place themselves. The management is truly impressive! Finally, and the biggest perk, is how convenient it is to stay at Mingshi Courtyard for exploring Chongzuo, given its proximity to Mingshi Scenic Area. It's actually located *inside* the Mingshi Scenic Area, allowing for an immersive experience of the pastoral scenery. It's also super convenient for visiting Dao Na Li Cafe, Detian Waterfall, and Dongna Yuwan. You can even borrow bicycles from the hotel and cycle through the fields, which is incredibly relaxing! They even gave us organic rice and other souvenirs when we left. I really wanted to write them a good review, hoping more people will discover this high-quality hotel!

This hotel definitely lives up to its influencer hype! The environment is great, and the facilities are extensive. It's split into Building A and Building B. We stayed in B, and while it's not as convenient as A, it's not far to walk, and you get to enjoy the hotel's surroundings on the way. Besides the pool and restaurant being in Building A, there's basically no difference in other facilities. In fact, Building B is less crowded, so you can have the kids' facilities almost to yourselves. The pool gets very lively and busy at night. Highly recommended for families with children! The room environment is also excellent. We had a triple room, and each bed was huge. Even though there was only one bathroom, it was incredibly good value for money!

Just look at the pictures, you can tell how beautiful the surroundings are! I definitely made the right choice; it's great value for money, and you can see the hotel owner puts a lot of effort into running the place. I do have a small suggestion though: if the front desk on the first floor were tidier, it would give guests a more premium impression. And if the hotel staff could wear unified uniforms (at least the tops), it would be even more perfect!

Seriously, this hotel is a hidden gem! I absolutely love the floor-to-ceiling windows. It's really great value for money and I highly recommend it! The room was clean with no strange odors, and both the lighting and ventilation were excellent. The toiletries provided were very comprehensive. The staff were warm and attentive, responding quickly to any requests. The location is superb, with convenient transport and dining options nearby. Overall, a perfect experience!

The facilities are complete. It's clean and hygienic, with an elegant environment and warm service. The handsome young man and beautiful young woman at the front desk are very responsible and told us about the tour routes and good restaurants. It's very close to the Mingshi Visitor Center. If you go out and turn right onto the main road, it's a 20-minute walk to the Yulinba Scenic Area. The breakfast is also plentiful, and the noodles are delicious.

The room view is great, with fields and mountains right outside the window. Waking up to this scenery in the morning is incredibly relaxing and therapeutic. The hotel's location is convenient; it's a 40-minute drive from Mingshi Scenic Area to Detian Waterfall. Environment: Clean and hygienic, and tidied up daily. The innermost room on the third floor also has good soundproofing. The morning rice noodles were excellent; I finished the whole bowl, soup and all. The fried dough sticks were also delicious and very crispy. The old ginger and brown sugar drink was also very good. Highly recommended! 👍🏻

As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I felt the warm and thoughtful service of the proprietress and the service staff. They prepared afternoon tea for us on the day of check-in, and the food in the hotel was particularly delicious. I didn't expect that the best meal I had out of the hotel was not in a restaurant, but here. You can tell by the way we finished every dish.

The room facilities, though a bit dated, were very well-maintained and clean, showing the hotel's dedication. The hotel is located near the Guichun River within the scenic area, offering views of the Vietnamese people across the river, though the barbed wire fence is a bit of a letdown. However, the hotel's garden restaurant is an absolute disaster—the food is unappetizing and truly awful. I'd recommend eating before you check in or returning to the hotel to rest after you've had a meal elsewhere.
