The best seaside homestay I encountered on my Dali journey, where I found the tenderness of time

Randomly booked this Shuanglang seaside homestay, It soothed my weary heart throughout this trip💗 Homestay location: Mangshu·Taotang Hill Seaside Hotel (Erhai Lake, Dali Branch) 🏨Hotel Environment: Featuring a wabi-sabi style blended with traditional Bai ethnic architecture, this design stands out uniquely in Shuanglang. Pottery and wooden decor pieces are thoughtfully placed in every corner, enhancing the design philosophy and Zen atmosphere. Staying here feels like being secluded from the world, enjoying exclusive access to stunning landscapes🌊 The homestay's "facing the sea" courtyard has a total of 9 sea-view rooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking ocean views while the comfortable bathtub experience creates unforgettable memories. You can lounge in bed watching movies🎬 or gaze at the sea, effortlessly immersing yourself in nature; The non-sea-view courtyard includes a front desk, minibar, tea room🍵, bluestone restaurant, and Chinese-style garden. Regardless, it stands out as exceptionally refined in Shuanglang✨ All rooms are equipped with Marshall speakers, Dyson hair dryers, giant-screen projectors, Nespresso coffee machines, refrigerators, central air conditioning, Kingkoil mattresses, imported individually packaged toiletries, Kohler sanitary ware, bathtubs🛁, and Carnation bedding, offering a luxurious and high-end experience💗 🛏️Room Recommendation: The Shatao Suite is my top pick, located right in the center of the sea-view building. I especially recommend the first-floor Shatao room—it feels like sleeping right above Erhai Lake🌊 🌈Services Provided: ✔️Welcome fruits🍉 ✔️Buffet breakfast ✔️Afternoon tea ✔️Goodnight milk ✔️Butler service, including shuttle rides to parking lots🅿️, pick-up/drop-off at intersections, and even to the South Pier entrance ✔️Travel photography experience
