Choose the Right Hotel in Dali, No Planning Needed!

Guys, who can relate? I spent three days in Dali just relaxing, all thanks to this amazing hotel that kept me going!

Initially, I was torn between staying in the Old Town or Shuanglang, but a friend recommended the Arcadia Seaview Resort, and I instantly fell in love.

🌅 About the views:

- The room balcony faces Erhai Lake directly, waking up to sunshine and birdsong in the morning.
- No need to squeeze into crowded tourist spots; you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset right from the hotel.
- At night, you can lie on the deck chair and stargaze—it's unbelievably romantic.

🍜 About the food:

- Breakfast offers a wide variety, and the freshly cooked rice noodles are a must-try (don't forget to add an egg!).
- The hotel's restaurant serves authentic spicy sour fish and roasted milk fan, way better than the trendy spots outside.
- The flavors are miles ahead of those in popular restaurants.

📸 About photography:

- The infinity pool is incredibly photogenic; every shot looks like a magazine cover.
- The hotel even offers free travel photography services, and the photographer is great at guiding poses.
- Nine-grid posts on social media won't be enough to share all the stunning photos.

💁 About the service:

- From arrival to checkout, the staff is super attentive.
- They help with luggage, recommend unique activities, and even give local specialties as farewell gifts.
- The hospitality is top-notch.

Honestly, choosing the right hotel makes your Dali trip halfway successful!
