Wanan Tinglan Wild Luxury Resort Designer Hotel

I was pampered like a princess by the Xishuangbanna Hotel. 👸 From breakfast to souvenirs, everything was a surprise. ⭐ I was truly captivated by the gentleness hidden within the rainforest! I had originally just wanted to find a quiet escape away from the city, but the moment I entered this hotel, I was captivated: rattan screens filtered light through, a courtyard filled with tropical rainforest plants, and as I settled on a sofa in the lobby, listening to the gurgling waters of the Lancang River outside, I suddenly understood what "wild luxury" means—not the extravagance of lavish wealth, but the comfort of blending seamlessly with the rainforest. Only after moving in did I realize how meticulously detailed they are, making me want to keep a notebook. The housekeeper's message was so gentle, even down to the punctuation, saying afternoon tea would start at 2:30 PM. Arrive half an hour in advance to reserve a seat with a view of the Lancang River. I finally realized it when I actually arrived: the bamboo chairs basked in the sun, the Swiss rolls for tea were fragrant with milk and tea, and had mushroom-shaped patches. The wind rustled through the leaves, and I told my friend, "This isn't afternoon tea; it's a stolen moment of leisure." I received a reminder to make bed in the evening and replied "yes." When I returned from the night market, the bed was made and ready for me to sleep in, no need to unpack or unpack. There was mosquito repellent on the corner, and my toothbrush was placed in a cup. The souvenir was a straw bag containing mosquito repellent, hand cream, a steam eye mask, and earplugs—very practical, I mean. When I checked out, they also gave me a small gift: two elephant pendants. I've been wearing them every day. My friends keep asking for links, saying they're even cuter than the cultural products I bought. The most surprising thing was the sweet soup in the evening! I chose Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. It was still steaming hot when it arrived in the room. The glutinous Tremella mixed with the fragrance of the lotus seeds. As I took my last sip, the chirping of insects outside the window just made it all the more special. Oh, and can you believe their pillows? It's so soft I want to sleep wrapped up in it, yet it won't collapse. I asked the housekeeper if they could buy me some, and they said they did (✿◡‿◡) I also discovered how friendly it is for people like us who travel a lot: the washing machine and dryer are a lifesaver—a dirty T-shirt from the Starlight Night Market can be thrown in there and smells delicious the next day. The private hot spring bath is hidden in the courtyard. I can call the housekeeper two hours in advance to prepare the hot spring, which comes with rose petals and bath salts. Soaking in the hot spring at night while gazing at the stars is so refreshing I want to hum a song. On my last day, I had an early flight and had given up on breakfast, but the housekeeper came early that evening and handed me a bag: "Hot milk, freshly cut fruit, and an egg sandwich—to keep me going." As I munched on it at the airport, I suddenly felt like the trip was worth it—it feels so warm to be thought of. Oh, right! A must-do for photographers: You can borrow the hotel's straw hats and wicker bags. Standing in the coconut groves by the Lancang River, the sunlight filtering through the leaves hits your face. You'll be bombarded with questions on your WeChat Moments, "Did you secretly become a Dai whistle?" Really, this place isn't one of those popular online photo-ops spots; it's more like a little nest in the rainforest—you can sip sweet soup at night listening to the chirping of insects and be awakened by the sun in the morning. When I left, I had a baby elephant pendant in my suitcase, which made me feel a little reluctant to leave.

The hotel is amazing! It was even more pleasant than expected. The environment is exactly what I like, facing the Lancang River. The hotel is lush with vegetation, making it feel like being in a forest. The fruits and afternoon snacks are particularly abundant and unlimited. The service is also very good. They are very attentive to all your needs and even gave the children an elephant pendant. The hotel also provided straw hats, flower baskets, and straw slippers for shopping. It was super awesome!

Facilities: Very beautiful and new, with a Japanese resort-style, simple yet sophisticated design, and smart technology throughout. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy. Environment: Enjoy the Mekong River view from the hotel, with few tourists and a quiet atmosphere. The hotel's riverside restaurant and garden are stunning, and afternoon tea is a delightful and chill experience. Service: The hotel thoughtfully provided a gift pack (mosquito repellent, eye mask, and earplugs), and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive to each guest. They also provided sweet soup in the evening, and the breakfast was also very generous and unique.
