Ocean View Hotels in Yunnan, China

"I loved this place, especially my booked room. The room is really comfortable and the view is amazing (You can see the Erhai Lake from your own balcony). I really enjoyed sitting at the balcony and watched the view quietly. Unfortunately, there is no elevator at the hotel, but the front desk guy will help you with the luggages. The hotel is located 10-min away from the railway station, but a bit far from the tourist attractions. You will have to take Didi to visit the Three pagodas or the ancient town."

"As foreign travelers (family of 3) we had such a wonderful stay at Sangzhu Hotel and couldn’t recommend it more. The location is absolutely perfect (right opposite the Old Town) making it incredibly convenient while still offering a peaceful and charming atmosphere. The hotel itself is stunning and clearly very popular. There are always people in the lobby taking photos and even doing traditional costume photo shoots, and you can also rent costumes and do professional-style photoshoots right there. We even tried some painting activities, which are paid experiences but very convenient since everything is located within the hotel facilities (and it’s actually quite popular with visitors coming from all around the Town just for these experiences). It really adds a fun and cultural dimension to the stay. One of our favorite parts was the beautiful cultural coffee shop inside the hotel, featuring a gorgeous round table and a cozy bonfire. In the evening, they host a lovely bonfire 🔥event with traditional dances and butter tea, which created such a magical and authentic vibe✨ We stayed in the family room with two beds, and it was beautifully decorated in traditional Shangri-La style. From the elegant velvet curtains to the thoughtful details like velvet pouches for the disposable slippers, every little touch made the room feel special and luxurious. They also provided luxuriously smooth and soft robes for all of us, which was such a nice added touch. The service was also exceptional. In addition to a lovely breakfast and afternoon tea, the staff brought local milk and pastries to our room every day as a snack, such a thoughtful gesture. We were traveling across China for three weeks with a lot of luggage, and the team kindly helped us with everything, always with a smile. What truly stood out was the incredibly warm and dynamic team 🤍🤍🤍 Despite the language barrier, they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome, even helping me find the name of my favorite song from the bonfire evening show, which was such a sweet and memorable moment. Our only regret is not staying longer. We will definitely be back! And thank you as well for the lovely little souvenir gift at the end, it was such a thoughtful way to finish our stay💕"

"Highly recommend the Sanse Yunhe Erhai Shuanglang store! It's a hidden gem of a sea-view B&B nestled in the ancient town. The balcony offers direct views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, with stunning sunsets and the 'Water Hyacinth' flower season right before your eyes. The entire home boasts rich wooden textures, and complimentary snacks, drinks, and bedtime milk are provided. The butler service is attentive and thoughtful, ensuring a comfortable stay with delicious food and incredible photo opportunities. A must-stay when visiting Dali!"

"Atmosphere: The sea view is stunning, offering different sunrise and sunset views every day from every angle. Facilities: Well-equipped, the host even provided daily replenished disposable toiletries, a powerful hairdryer, and a wet/dry bathroom setup. Cleanliness: Spotless and tidy. The cleaning staff cleaned daily, and the room was odor-free. Service: The butler service was attentive and responsive. Public areas were elegant and clean with pleasant diffusers, and there was a self-service area for water and amenities."

"The room was spotless and very comfortable. It had a sleek, modern design, exactly my style. Smart controls added to the convenience. The room was also very spacious. Although it was a bit pricier than other places nearby, I found it to be absolutely worth it. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are: no power outlet under the desk, which made using a laptop a bit inconvenient, and no clothes rack in the bathroom. Opening the window revealed a mountain view, and outside the door were charming farmhouse landscapes – it was so peaceful and lovely. There were sunflowers right by the entrance. I especially want to commend the staff (both male and female) for their excellent service; calling it five-star service wouldn't be an exaggeration. They gave great travel recommendations, suggested places to eat, and offered comprehensive touring advice. Breakfast included coffee and tea, and there were even late-night snacks and bedtime desserts. I absolutely loved it. My younger sister really enjoyed playing with their dog. The large map at the entrance was fantastic – a direct guide to local attractions and activities."

"This stay was fantastic! The small balcony in the room had a great view, perfect for enjoying a meal while admiring the scenery – very pleasant. The popcorn, cookies, and fruit served at afternoon tea were delicious, and the thick rice noodles with corn, sweet potato, and eggs at breakfast were also very tasty. The room was both modern and clean, and the butler was quick and helpful with any issues during my stay, providing attentive and efficient service. The guesthouse had a quiet and comfortable environment, perfect for a relaxing vacation, and I would definitely stay here again!"

"The room was spacious and very close to the Xi'er River. It was a short walk along the river to Erhai Lake. The lobby had a coffee machine and a microwave, and there was a bus stop right outside, making it convenient to get to Dali Ancient City. The elevator broke down during our stay, so taking the stairs became a good workout. When checking out, the front desk sent someone to help with our luggage after a quick call. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic and helpful."
