Guest UserAfter comparing several options for my Dali vacation, I finally settled on Nefertiti, and it was the luckiest decision of my entire trip! The guesthouse has a refreshing Santorini vibe, with perfect photo opportunities everywhere you look. The infinity pool and terrace hot tubs directly face the entire Erhai Lake, offering breathtaking views of Cangshan's sunset glow and the ocean at dusk. Every shot turns out stunning without any filters needed.
The location is truly unbeatable, just a ten-minute drive from Dali High-Speed Railway Station. The hotel provides a complimentary pick-up service, and the butler contacted me in advance to confirm my arrival time, so I didn't have to worry about my heavy luggage at all. Getting a taxi or ordering takeout was incredibly convenient.
The amenities are top-notch, with a full smart home control system. A Dyson hairdryer, disposable bath towels, face towels, steam eye masks, mouthwash, laundry detergent, disinfected slippers, and a complete set of toiletries are all provided, showcasing attention to detail at every turn. The room was spacious, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a scenic balcony. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the entire room was spotlessly clean with no unpleasant odors. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful, ensuring several nights of sound sleep.
The public areas offer a wealth of facilities, including a gym, a private cinema, a mahjong/card room, and a sea-view afternoon tea restaurant. The sea-view dining by the pool was fantastic, and the freshly ground coffee was exceptional. The butlers and staff were gentle and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. They were genuinely warm and friendly, and even proactively recommended local hidden gems and authentic eateries, helping us avoid tourist traps. We even received occasional heartwarming surprises. Upon checkout, the hotel gifted us flower cakes embossed with 'Dali,' available in four flavors. It's clear the owner put a lot of thought into preparing these souvenirs for guests.
This place is perfect for couples, families, or friends traveling together. With new facilities, meticulous service, stunning views, and incredible value for money, my entire stay was comfortable and relaxing, curing all my travel fatigue. I've already recommended it to all my friends, and next time I visit Dali, I'll definitely choose Nefertiti again!

SujiejieThe hotel is located halfway up the mountain in Wenbi Village, where there must be hundreds of guesthouses. Since I booked on the day of check-in, there weren't many options available with a large balcony, which is my personal preference. I ended up choosing a two-day stay in a loft king room at the Qianshan.Yu Hai Hotel. I arrived around 9 PM, and the front desk offered me a free upgrade to a sea-view terrace king room, which happened to be vacant. This accidental upgrade to a sea-view terrace room was absolutely perfect! However, this room type was only available for one night, as it was booked for the second day. I told the front desk that if it became available again, I'd love to have it. Sure enough, at 4 PM, they informed me that a reservation had been canceled – perfect timing! The room I switched to on the second day had an even better, unobstructed view. The entire hotel and the rooms were clean and tastefully minimalist. Enjoying afternoon tea while gazing at Erhai Lake in the afternoon was incredibly relaxing, and the twilight blue hour was particularly romantic. Additionally, several cafes in Wenbi Village are also very beautiful. Dali is such a therapeutic place!

Extremely satisfied! The hotel's location is fantastic, right by the South Gate of the old city, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. We stayed in a rooftop room with an absolutely stunning view! We had a close-up look at the majestic Cangshan Mountains and the mysterious clouds circling them. The service was very attentive! The front desk staff were so kind, and a charming young man enthusiastically helped us with our luggage both when checking in and checking out.

Guest UserThis hotel has its own parking lot. As soon as we arrived, a staff member promptly came out to greet us and guided us to the underground parking. After parking, they helped us with our luggage from the trunk and escorted us to our room. The afternoon tea was perfectly arranged and very fresh. When we returned from our outing, the room was spotless. We stayed for three days and two nights, and the artistic beauty of the environment, the spaciousness of the rooms, the service attitude, friendliness, and overall tranquility were all excellent. I'm a straightforward person, and honestly, I have no complaints. I would definitely come back again.

Guest UserThe hotel staff was extremely welcomimg and caring. We truly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was delicious. I especially enjoyed the fresh Soy Bean Milk and their local delicious fresh corn every morning. We were offered a ride around the lake by the hotel manager, he showed us the best places to buy authentic Yunnan Tea outside of the main tourist traps and received a small gift on our departure. It felt more like staying with friends than being just another customer at the hotel. The room was super nice, clean and we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Posted on Jul 26, 2026|Xu Guang Po 270° Private Sea View Onsen Suite (Jin Ke Er · Dyson)
Guest UserBack in Dali, I decided to revisit the Xianyun 360-degree Cliff Seaview Hot Spring B&B, and it truly lived up to expectations! The front desk staff were incredibly polite and attentive. I later found out that the humble and helpful manager, who was always ready to assist, was also from Beijing, which made me feel right at home. The B&B's environment is serene and immaculate. The private hot spring pool in the room is definitely the highlight. Soaking in the hot spring, you're directly facing the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake – it's like a landscape painting come to life. During my downtime, I loved sitting on the balcony, gazing at Cangshan and Erhai, which was incredibly therapeutic after a long journey. The restaurant's dishes were delicious and flavorful. My experience was as excellent as ever, truly a hidden gem of a seaview B&B. Choosing to stay here twice speaks volumes about its reliable quality. It’s my top choice when visiting Dali, highly recommended!

Posted on Aug 21, 2026|Undersea Double Bed Room A (Wave Sound Pillow + Fish View Small Window)
Anonymous UserI was so satisfied that I felt compelled to write a good review! Being able to watch fish from your room is a uniquely wonderful experience; I absolutely loved it and could spend all day just watching. Room A is on the ground floor, which is the lowest level of guest rooms. Large groupers often swim right outside the window, leopard sharks sometimes lie on the bottom, and manta rays frequently pass by. Even sea turtles make an occasional appearance. The room itself is quite spacious and comfortable. During my stay, there was no need to go anywhere else; I just went to the adjacent oceanarium to watch fish and go diving, which was included in the hotel package. Diving in an aquarium is so much more interesting than plain old diving! Although it's on the surface and not very deep, it's still close enough to the fish. The hotel staff provided excellent service. However, breakfast wasn't great; it was exactly the same for both days I stayed. Lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant weren't expensive, and the à la carte dishes were quite good. I'll definitely be back!
