Scenic Hotels in Baoting

"Hainan's second stop was Qixianling, and Junlan Hotel seemed to be the most well-known in the area. It certainly didn't disappoint. The rooms are spread across small villas, with four separate units (up, down, left, right) in each, offering great privacy. Outside the window is a dense rainforest, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Each unit has its own private hot spring pool and a small balcony. The rooms are spacious, perfect for kids to run around. Unlike Atlantis, which is all about excitement, this place offers a different kind of relaxed retreat. The rooms are definitely a bit dated, but they have everything you need, and the cleaning staff is very meticulous. The restaurant food is delicious, with some specialty dishes that are a must-try! The hotel has various hot spring pools and swimming pools. If you have enough time, try them all out; they're open quite late. I want to especially commend the hotel's entire service system. From the greeters to the lobby, the restaurant, the shuttle drivers, and the pool security – everyone was incredibly warm and polite. Since the hotel is quite large, and the accommodations are spread out and deep within the rainforest, shuttle services are available throughout the hotel. You can book ahead or simply flag one down. This was a lifesaver for me, traveling with a child. I could explore freely on foot or easily catch a ride without my child complaining about walking too much. Finally, a few tips for future guests considering Junlan: don't bother bringing big and small bottles of mosquito repellent; the hotel provides it for free (though even drenched in repellent, mosquitoes won't spare any new guest! It's a special 'gift' from the tropical rainforest!). If you plan to hike in the National Forest Park from the hotel, getting a taxi might be difficult. The hotel front desk can arrange for a scenic shuttle to pick you up for 20 yuan per person, which I think is well worth it. While there are public buses outside, I couldn't figure them out and didn't want to walk to the bus stop. When traveling with a child, it's best to minimize hassle. If something can be taken care of for 20 yuan, don't try to save that little bit!"

"Highly, highly, highly recommend! What a pleasant surprise. The room was spacious, and the outdoor terrace was absolutely fantastic. You can call the front desk from anywhere in the resort for an electric buggy pick-up, and they're super responsive. At 180, it came with 2 free tickets, making the room practically free. I was so impressed, I immediately booked another night. The evening bonfire party at the resort wasn't boring at all; we actually participated and interacted the whole time. All the amusement rides are like 'lite' versions, which is great and perfect for both old and young kids. You can buy an 88-yuan package for unlimited play for 3 days."

"I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. The environment is quiet, elegant and well-maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms and a pleasant overall atmosphere that made me feel relaxed the whole time. What impressed me most was the exceptional service from the staff, especially butler Xiao Xiu and Jiru. Xiao Xiu was warm, thoughtful and always ready to help with a friendly smile. Jiru paid great attention to every detail, taking care of all my needs patiently and professionally. Their considerate and meticulous service made my trip truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely come back again."

"Overall verdict: Highly, highly recommended! We arrived close to 7:30 PM, as it was dark and difficult to drive. We missed the night rainforest tour and it was shift change for the front desk, so no one answered the phone. Our GPS led us to a parking lot but we couldn't find the hotel. Frustrated, I contacted the travel agency's customer service. Later, after understanding the situation and experiencing the stay, I would recommend it even more! 1. Upon arrival, I couldn't reach the front desk. A park security guard came to help me contact them and explained that the hotel needed to pick us up, and that it was quite a long trip down the mountain. The security guard chatted with us and later even helped with our luggage – he was fantastic! The driver who picked us up helped load our bags and then bowed to welcome us. I felt a bit embarrassed, as this country bumpkin had never received such treatment before! 2. The driver mentioned he rushed to pick us up in a sightseeing buggy, and that he could have used a business car but there wasn't time to switch, as we had also contacted customer service to expedite our pickup. If you're traveling with children, it's best to ask them to switch cars. My baby had just woken up, so I quickly put a hat on him – it was windy going up the mountain at night, so luckily he didn't catch a cold. 3. There was only one young lady at the hotel's night front desk. She came out to meet us upon arrival and helped carry our belongings upstairs. She also contacted the manager and a guide to arrange a special night rainforest tour for us. This activity is highly recommended! You'll see many animals you wouldn't see during the day, like frogs, lingzhi crabs, leopard geckos, and fish in the mountain spring. The guide also explained about the plants – it was really worth it!!! Much better than just wandering around and looking at the scenery during the day!!! Ladies, don't miss this if you come! 4. The travel agency provided welcome fruit, and my little one loved the bananas. Our suite was incredibly spacious, taking up an entire floor. This country bumpkin hasn't stayed in many fancy hotels, but I thought the hygiene was excellent; I didn't get itchy while sleeping. The hairdryer was a Laifen, and there were disposable toilet seat covers and bath covers. There were no bugs in the room either, which was great. 5. The hotel has a fish spa and a heated pool. I didn't see anyone in the main pool, but foreigners were using the heated pool at night. It was my first time smelling the scent of night-blooming jasmine upon entering the hotel. I initially thought the hotel had sprayed something, but it was a natural fragrance! It was very faint during the day, but incredibly strong on the way back to the room at night. 6. The hotel front desk was responsive to everything. Breakfast was also decent; at one point, the kitchen burned the chicken sausages, and the staff noticed and specifically told them to remove them. However, my request to pack some fruit for the baby was declined. 7. During the day, if you want to go down the mountain, they'll pick you up and drop you off quite quickly. Of course, the driver wasn't as enthusiastic as the one at night. We rested until check-out, stored our luggage, then wandered around and played. Afterwards, we rested and charged our devices in the hotel pavilion, asking for hot water to make formula for the baby, while waiting for the car to take us down the mountain. If you come, sisters, you can ask the hotel for bottled water to take with you – drinks in the park are so expensive! A classic popsicle was 6 yuan, my goodness. The front desk even gave us little woven dragonflies, so cute! My only regret is that we should have arrived earlier to enjoy the hotel more. You could consider a deeper exploration of the park; the map shows how huge it is! Get to bed early and then explore the animal area in the morning when there are fewer people. Later in the afternoon, there were so many Russian tour groups and student groups – just too many people!!!"

"Parking is convenient. Thank you to Security Manager Zhang for handling the parking lot dispute in a timely manner. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Except for the facilities being a bit outdated, I am very satisfied with everything else. This is my second stay. I will choose Days Inn again next time I come to Baoting."
