Dali zuodou Sea View Resort

This hotel is situated away from the busy side of Erhai Lake, but to me it's a plus point as you can enjoy the tranquility of the lake without all the cars and people crowding round (as we visited during the local school holidays). Usually the taxi / drivers will drop you at a communal carpark, then you can ask the staff to pick you up (if u have luggages) and they'll come with a golf cart! It's actually a very short walk away, but the road is cobbled so not the most convenient with luggages. The staff reached out to me via WeChat the day before to give us instruction for pick-up and they arranged for a driver pick up from Dali station to the hotel. Everyone there is extremely friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly. Room was excellent! It's pretty big and super clean, even with a bidet! While our view from the balcony was a bit restricted, but you can just go down to the first floor to see the sunrise. They were also nice enough to help us carry our luggages up as there's no lift. Breakfast was lovely, and it even came with croissants (optional). There's also places to chill at the garden of the hotel, with a pool! Sadly we didn't have enough time in Dali to enjoy just chilling and enjoying the lovely scenery (both the lake and the hotel itself which has lovely flowers). Will love to stay here again if I'm ever back in Dali!

A very good hotel with very good location to explore Xi Zhou ancient town and er hai. Thumbs up for the good service. The hotel restaurant serve good bai ethic stir fried food too.
