Dali Beach Hotels

"I stayed at the Spirited Away B&B in Dali, right next to Erhai Lake. From my room, I could hear the waves, see the stunning sea view, and even catch a beautiful sunrise. The hostess was incredibly nice and even made us a delicious breakfast! Ordering takeout and getting around was super convenient; taxis could drop us off right at the B&B's doorstep. All the thoughtful little touches made me fall in love with Dali. I'll definitely be back!"

"Staying at Three-Color Cloud River in the warm Dali sun felt like a gentle trap. Dali's spring always comes with a soft breeze, and this time, finding the 'Three-Color Cloud River Erhai Snow Store' along Erhai Lake truly embraced that romance. The white standalone villa stood bathed in the spring light, with large floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake like a painting. As I pushed open the door, the housekeeper was already smiling, taking my luggage, and even the air carried a sweet, warm scent. The room was unexpectedly soothing. The TOTO smart toilet showed meticulous attention to detail, the Dyson hairdryer blew away travel fatigue, and when the Marshall speaker played soft music, even the light and shadow softened. Standing by the sea-view bathtub, I looked up to see the sparkling Erhai Lake, and soaking in the hot water in the evening, time itself seemed to slow down. I woke up to the aroma of breakfast, freshly made congee paired with refreshing side dishes, and the housekeeper thoughtfully remembered I don't eat green onions. In the afternoon, I enjoyed a Chinese afternoon tea at the sea-view cafe, with exquisite desserts I almost couldn't bear to eat. In the evening, I went to the rooftop 'Sky Mirror' for photos, where a professional travel photographer captured moments of me with Erhai Lake in the background. Before bed, the housekeeper brought warm goodnight sweet soup, and the snacks in the mini-bar still had the crisp sound of being freshly opened. Upon checking out, I received a special souvenir, which turned out to be a small, heartfelt gift. It turns out that the good times in Dali aren't just about the wind and the sea, but also about a place like this, which hides the tenderness of spring in every single detail."

"My first stay at Songjia Courtyard was wonderful! The room was spotless, the bedding had a slight sun-dried smell, and there wasn't a speck of dust in the corners. The guesthouse is close to Erhai Lake, making it convenient for sightseeing. The courtyard was quiet at night, unlike the noisy atmosphere of the old town. The guesthouse was fully equipped with a washing machine, TV, and kitchenware. The owner was incredibly attentive and even recommended delicious local specialties, making for a fantastic experience!"

"The hotel is tucked away in a quiet spot, yet still central, offering absolutely stunning, unobstructed views. You can watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake right from your bed, and it's within walking distance of many popular attractions. It's newly renovated, and the facilities and service are excellent! Even Virgos can rest assured when choosing this place :)"

"I chose this place by Erhai Lake specifically for this view. 🏠 My stay in Shuanglang this time was in a room that completely exceeded my expectations—the Shanhaiji Guesthouse (Shuanglang Branch). The room had two bedrooms and three beds. The one facing the sea left me speechless for a few seconds the moment I walked in. The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows brought Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain right into the room, and looking up from the bed, all I saw was a vast expanse of blue. The afternoon sun streaming in made me feel gently embraced by the world. ❤️🩹 The bathtub was also by the window. Soaking in the hot water at night, watching the breeze slowly turn cooler outside, created a kind of quiet that made you not want to speak. The guesthouse's location is very close to the North Gate of Shuanglang Ancient Town, and 6:29 Coffee is right downstairs. It's super convenient for watching the sunset, taking photos, or just enjoying the breeze and daydreaming. I especially loved two things here: ✨ The moments of bathing while looking at the sea. ✨ The view from the balcony. It felt like putting myself into a slow-motion movie. A double even so. During my stay, my activities were simple: taking photos, daydreaming, watching the lake, listening to music, and having a little wine. The breeze made time slow down significantly. The staff were also very gentle. The breakfast was good, and the latte art on the coffee was so beautiful I almost didn't want to drink it. Staying by Erhai Lake really does bring a sense of calm. Watching the clouds unfurl and gracefully change in the reflection of the lake, it felt as if many questions hidden deep in my heart didn't need to be answered in a hurry anymore. 🌫️ “Discover yourself and find answers amidst Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake.”"

"The room facilities were excellent; it was very spacious with large, floor-to-ceiling windows. Opening the window immediately offered stunning views of Erhai Lake. The local dishes recommended by the owner were also delicious. Lao Yang BBQ is located right near the guesthouse. Unfortunately, it only seems to open around 6 or 7 PM, so I only managed to eat there once. Renting electric scooters was incredibly convenient; you could get them directly from the guesthouse and easily ride to Dali Ancient Town and Xizhou Ancient Town."

"The room was fantastic – very stylish with a cozy lodge feel and an Instagram-worthy aesthetic. They even had a smart toilet! For a guesthouse, the facilities are truly top-notch. The bedding was exceptionally clean and felt just like what you'd find in a high-end hotel. I wasn't sure who the owner was, but all the staff we encountered were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The front desk also served a variety of drinks and cakes, which my child tried and absolutely loved. From the front desk, you can sit and enjoy stunning views of Erhai Lake directly across. It's truly a relaxing spot, perfect for a longer stay or just a short getaway. Crucially, the guesthouse is situated right opposite the Longkan Pier Observation Deck, making its location absolutely superb."

"When I drove into the hotel, because it was a small alley, I thought it was probably not a good hotel. As a result, when we arrived and walked from the lobby to the back, the Erhai Bay came into view, it was simply a different world. It was evening when we arrived at the hotel. The breeze from Erhai Lake was very comfortable. Many tourists were riding bicycles around the lake. The sea was right outside the door, and you could also face the sea while eating. It was simply wonderful. It's just that I booked it late, so I didn't get a bigger room, so it felt a little small, but the environment and location made up for it. The S Bay of this hotel is better than the other S Bay of the Ecological Corridor. There are not so many people, otherwise it is impossible to ride a bike. It is highly recommended"

"The hotel is located at Caicun Wharf, close to Erhai Lake. There is a big supermarket called Meiyijia at the door, Xinrui Coffee is there, and Xuewang Mixue Ice City, which just IPOed over 100 billion, is also there. After nightfall in Caicun, the air is filled with the smell of fireworks. I was so full that I went back to the boss to upgrade the big bed for free to reward myself for being tired during the day. I fell asleep quickly. I have to mention that the hotel has paid attention to the small details. The lights on the entrance stairs follow me as if to say welcome home. The toiletries are specially customized, which is better than many hotels of the same price. The starry sky shines through the curtains, and the little light is just right for me who is afraid of the dark. The rooftop can also be used for coffee during the day and wine at night..."

"This guesthouse is hands down the best I've stayed at in Dali. The room was not only spacious and well-equipped, but also spotlessly clean, as the owner personally takes care of the cleaning. There's a rooftop terrace with stunning sea views, offering panoramic vistas of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Plus, there are plenty of dining options nearby, making it a lively area. It's also very close to Luoquan Peninsula. I even got a ride there from the owner when they were heading out, which was a nice surprise! The owner, despite looking a bit older, was quite humorous and provided excellent service. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit."
