Luxury Hotels in Yingde

"The ultimate vacation spot near Guangzhou and Shenzhen! This standalone villa boasts its own pool and private hot spring, with three floors spacious enough for a whole family. The butler was incredibly attentive, calling us right after we booked to discuss our needs. Upon arrival, he gave us a tour and introduced all the activities. When we checked out, he even helped us load our luggage into the car. Waking up to the view of lush green rice paddies and falling asleep to the sound of rain was incredibly therapeutic. The infinity pool on the fourth floor offers direct views of the sunset over the peaks – it was so beautiful I didn't want to get out. You can pet the two adorable cats at the hotel as much as you like. The complimentary tickets to the tea garden and campsite were really useful; the campsite also has a few very 'banned' looking but playful dogs! Two days here was just perfect. I'll definitely be back!"

"The environment here is lovely, with beautiful views right by Swan Lake and the mountains. It's also conveniently located within walking distance of Chayu Hot Spring and Baojing Palace Caves. The hotel has several swimming pools, which my kids absolutely loved. It's really great, I highly recommend staying here."

"While the overall environment was decent, my ground-floor room was damp and musty. The soundproofing was terrible; I could clearly hear conversations from the next room. The air conditioning even on the lowest setting was incredibly loud, which significantly affected my sleep. The toothbrush quality was also poor, with bristles falling out. Before arriving, I inquired about the mahjong room charge, and was quoted 42 yuan per hour. However, upon arrival, the staff said it was 218 yuan for four hours. Although they honored the 42 yuan rate after I questioned it, I still felt quite annoyed by the whole situation. Today, during check-out, my charging cable got stuck. A kind staff member in a white shirt and an engineer eventually helped me resolve the issue. I'm very grateful for their excellent attitude and assistance. Five stars for them!"

"The room was clean and tidy, with lovely greenery and beautiful views. It had a private dipping pool with direct access to the main swimming pool, which was very convenient for a quick dip. Eating out was also easy as there were many options nearby. The breakfast was just okay. Mosquito coils were provided in the room, but there was no electric mosquito repellent. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and they responded quickly to any issues. Overall, a good experience."

"The entire hotel really showcases a lot of thought and effort in its design, especially with all the small details – you can snap a great picture almost anywhere. The butler service was excellent and very attentive, and all the staff were proactive and welcoming. Our room overlooked the pastoral scenery through a full-length window, making it incredibly comfortable and airy. However, due to the overall design style, there's nowhere to hide or block views within the room. If you're not a couple, this might be a bit inconvenient. A small suggestion: adding blinds to the toilet and shower room doors would be helpful. Also, it would be great if some soft cushions could be provided in the cabinet for the tatami area, available for guests to use if needed. If you're looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle, this is a wonderful place for a getaway. On clear days, you can catch beautiful sunsets, and at night, you can look up to a sky full of stars and fall asleep to the sounds of nature. Just a heads-up: the pool wasn't open yet during our visit, and you need to communicate with the butler in advance to use the public hot spring area. The restaurant serves excellent new-style fusion cuisine with a farmhouse flair, and the butler will arrange everything perfectly for you. Overall, it was a very good experience, and I'd consider staying here again if I have the chance!"

"Geographical location: Good. (The hotel is located in Jiqingli, near the Black Tea Valley and other attractions) Room: Good. (What you see is what you get, quiet environment, spacious house, private garden, and garage) Service: Good. (The hotel has a fleet of cars, and you can make an appointment to pick up from the station to the hotel, or from the lobby to the room) (The room is clean and hygienic, the staff are sincere and polite, and if there is an emergency at night, they can arrange for the staff to handle it.) (The restaurant's food is of high quality, the fish is fresh, and the vegetables and tofu are also very delicious; the breakfast buffet has Chinese and Western food, such as: fresh eggs and steamed pork ribs, chicken feet, and French fries)"

"I stayed at the Chocolate Kingdom Hotel in mid-October. At that time, some facilities were already showing their age and seemed a bit neglected, and there were fewer staff members. However, I truly felt their dedication in every service they provided; their excellent service more than made up for any shortcomings in the hardware. We had a hot spring package. The hot springs were less crowded during the day and more so at night, so it was good to go at off-peak times. The package also included two-day tickets to Chocolate Wonderland, and at that time, there was a shuttle cart service. When I went back in December, the shuttle was gone, so I want to warn fellow travelers that if you're not driving yourself, think very carefully before booking, as it's a 20-minute walk from the park to the hotel. But since there was a shuttle service in October, and I genuinely felt their dedication in every service, I'm giving a good review for that stay. For December, I'd give a bad review."
