I had a pleasant stay overall, but there were definitely some ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and nicely designed, and the location is unbeatable since it's right next to the ancient town of Lijiang. However, I experienced some service hiccups, and the dining options could use a little improvement. I felt the hotel didn't quite meet the high standards I expected, especially for the brand name.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience, as it feels more like wandering through an ancient village than just a resort. The luxurious amenities and decor are beautifully integrated into the heritage style of the place. The location is ideal, with easy access to the charming cobbled streets of the old town, and the dining options are delightful. However, while everything was mostly excellent, a few facilities could improve, such as additional dining variety.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful, with a stunning property that captures the essence of a Naxi village. The rooms were spacious and beautiful, though the bathroom setup could use a bit more privacy. While the dining options were varied and the food tasty, they didn't quite hit the mark in terms of variety at the club lounge. Overall, the combination of fantastic staff and picturesque surroundings made for an enjoyable experience, despite a couple of small drawbacks.

The hotel is situated in a gorgeous town, just a stone's throw from the ancient city. The spacious rooms are beautifully decorated, and the gardens are a lovely escape. However, the service could use some improvement, particularly for English-speaking guests, and dining was a mixed bag. It's definitely a place for taking in stunning views, but prepare for some service hiccups.
