I set aside two days during the New Year's Day holiday to explore Riyue Bay and stumbled upon this place, 'Dai Zhai'. Its 'chill' vibe instantly appealed to me, someone who loves to just relax and unwind during holidays, so I decided to check it out.
The drive along the country road to the very end at the foot of the mountain was quite a revelation – the overall Mediterranean style was stunning. Stepping into the courtyard, every detail showcased the owner's meticulous care: dining tables by the fields, rattan lounge chairs, a bar hut, a European fountain, and a swing under a tree. It was simply perfect.
Food-wise, I had three meals here: afternoon tea, breakfast, and an à la carte lunch. From the ingredients to the presentation and taste, everything was thoughtfully prepared, and the service was excellent.
Regarding the rooms, there are 22 in total across three floors. The room design is simple and elegant, exactly my style. The use of Jurlique toiletries was another huge plus! The ambiance created by the outdoor pool on the first floor and the surrounding greenery made me feel like I was back in the South of France – absolutely loved it!!
On my second day, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and her vibrant, beautiful mother. Through our conversation, I learned that every step of this guesthouse, from initial concept to final execution, involved immense dedication. The designer is Spanish, which explains why the Mediterranean theme is so perfectly realized.
In conclusion, I'm confident I'll be back, and I highly recommend it to everyone – a refined guesthouse not to be missed!
