AAnonymous UserNinghai Anlan is located in Shenzhen, Ninghai, which happens to be my mom's hometown. I snagged some vouchers on XC during Singles' Day, so it was really good value for money.
I've stayed at Xinchang Anlan and Qiandao Lake Anlan before, but I found Ninghai Anlan to be slightly better.
The environment, as with all Anlan properties, is consistently close to nature and eco-friendly. The hotel grounds are vast, with rooms and public facilities spread across two mountains. Therefore, getting to the restaurant, gym, infinity pool, and Jile Tang (hot spring bath) all require using the hotel's shuttle. Our lakeside residence even required a transfer at the lobby.
The hot springs are a highlight of the hotel. When you turn on the bathtub faucet (full hot water), it's 57-degree hot spring water!
The thoughtful service is truly Anlan's core competitive advantage.
Our butler, Wendy, helped us with arrangements from check-in. Knowing my mom is older, she thoughtfully arranged a room closest to the lobby within walking distance, helped select sleep-inducing lavender essential oil, and came to ask if we needed anything else every evening. Especially when we were leaving, after I tried unsuccessfully to hail a taxi for 15 minutes, she decisively stepped in and helped us get a ride-hailing car, getting us to Ninghai Station on time!
Kevin from Naxi Pavilion restaurant, whom we met for both breakfast and dinner over two days, was professional, meticulous, and attentive. He patiently helped us plan our hotel hiking routes, introduced some of the hotel's facilities, and listened patiently to our suggestions regarding ingredients and cooking.
Kevin and Wendy truly made my mom and me feel right at home.
BTW, there are many cherry blossom trees at the hotel. It would be even more beautiful to visit in spring next time!
