Best trip ever at Ritz Carlton

We just spent two weeks at the Ritz Carlton Yalong Bay. We had a tremendous time. The beach was very nice. We got a lot of exercise walking along the beach. We also walked into town most everyday to find a variety of restaurants and Starbucks. The staff at the hotel was polite and friendly. I want to offer special Thanks to Nancy who helped us throughout our entire stay. She did a very nice job of translating when we could not (my mandarin really should be better....). She notified us of upcoming events and helped us make reservations for Christmas and New Years Dinners. We used the workout facility, which was nice, clean and had a lot of equipment. We did have a massage. We scheduled a couple’s massage. My husband’s started on time but mine was 20 minutes late due to traffic(?) So we did not start and end at the same time which was a bummer and delayed us getting to the beach. Overall, the massage was good but would expect better professionalism on timeliness. I was on my way out when they found me (I have a 15-minute wait limit when I schedule these types of things). Sturdy, the waiter at the beach bar, was very polite and helpful. Boody (sp?) in the restaurant staff was extremely helpful as well. Our room attendant was xionjiu jian (sp?) She was phenomenal and followed up on everything we needed every day. She helped us with anything we needed including laundry and ice. She was always very pleasant and helpful. She spoke in mandarin, but we were able to use the translator (and my broken mandarin) to communicate. She truly made the stay worth returning. #bestislandtraveltowns#themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool
