Beautiful property and impeccably decorated room! The room had everything we needed and it was very clean. The family who runs this lodge is so nice and the owner even came and picked us up from Dali train station (if you stay 3 or more nights). Breakfast was a nice touch and the common area was great for relaxing and enjoying a cup of tea. Highly recommended!

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel provides an indoor pool, entertainment staff and a business centre.

We had an excellent time, and the hotel was wonderful with a seaview that was absolutely exquisite, beautiful. I have traveled to many places, and this was our first time in Dali, China. What a great experience. I am already planning to return, and I can honestly say that our stay was UNPARALLELED! To say the least, it was refreshing to see such kindness, care, attentiveness, professionalism, and overall joyful demeanor from the entire staff. The activities and nearby restaurants were excellent, and I must mention that the sunset at the local coffee cafe was breathtaking and a must do local attraction. The hotel serves breakfast, tea, and evening treats that were all delicious. Overall, the Dali Oriental Seaview Hotel surpassed my expectations and was a positive, memorable difference in making our journey away from home filled with good times, happy memories, and nice excursions The stay was uniquely welcoming, fun, and relaxing all at the same time. I located the unparalleled Dali Oriental Seaview Hotel on Booking.com, which was a good thing since the hotel is hidden away in a manner that you would not imagine. There may be a few steps to climb, but there is a small elevator, and good things are often revealed in different ways. All this to say, thank you, to the hotel, for sharing this hidden gem. Who would have imagined such an exquisite, unique place to stay.

    The hotel and its welcoming and helpful host family very much exceeded my expectation and if I ever go back to Dali, it is only to stay here again, and next time for longer. Everything is pristine clean, beautifully appointed rooms, comfortable bed with good quality linen, great hot shower, luxurious garden. Every little detail was carefully and tastefully addressed (including unexpectedly luxury toiletries, humidifyer, custom curtains, and a bespoke tea set (!) in the room). I regretted not staying longer and very much want to go back.

    We thought it was way overpriced for what we received. We got a room at a 5 star hotel in Kunming for the same price we paid here, but that hotel was far better in terms of service and the quality of the room.

    The graciousness of the hosts was superb! We enjoyed a family style dinner and breakfast with our hosts, who cooked fresh local foods for us! The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The property is very lovely, with gardens and a hot spring pool that my kids enjoyed playing in all afternoon. This is a great spot if you are heading to or arriving from the Dali airport!
