Liyang Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"My kid insisted on a hot spring hotel for Chinese New Year, and since we'd pretty much stayed at all the ones in Nanjing, we opted for Hantian in Tianmu Lake. **Cleanliness:** The hotel's overall cleanliness was really good, from the rooms to the hot springs and the restaurant. **Environment:** The environment is genuinely lovely, nestled by mountains and water. The resort is also quite spacious, perfect for kids. **Facilities:** The room was big enough, but the facilities felt a bit outdated. There's plenty of parking, but spaces near the main building are scarce, so you often have to park at P4. Although there's a shuttle, it still felt a bit inconvenient. **Service:** The service was genuinely excellent. Before our arrival, a dedicated butler contacted us, sent us the location, and reminded us about breakfast times. **Welcome Fruit & Minibar:** We stayed two nights, and they provided these daily. We didn't finish the fruit on the first day, but they still replenished it on the second. The minibar also had a good variety, including two cans of beer, which saved us a trip out. **Couple's 180° Lake View Half-Mountain Hot Spring Tickets:** They also included daily hot spring tickets and trampoline park tickets. The hot springs were indeed fantastic, with many pools. The lakeside pools offered breathtaking views, and with the good weather these past two days, we could even see the Big Dipper."

"Kaiyuan Mingdu Resort: A Refreshing Leisure Resort I recently had the opportunity to spend an unforgettable time at Kaiyuan Mingdu Resort, which left a deep impression on me and made me want to share my pleasant experience. As soon as I entered the resort, I was attracted by its beautiful environment and exquisite layout. The architectural design of the resort is ingenious, combining traditional and modern styles, giving people a sense of both classical and fashionable beauty. The surrounding green landscape is even more refreshing, and every step is a beautiful picture. The service level of Kaiyuan Mingdu Resort is also first-class. From the moment I checked in, I felt the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of the staff. They not only patiently answered my questions, but also took the initiative to provide me with many useful travel suggestions. In the resort, I experienced meticulous care and thoughtful service, which made me feel the warmth of home. The facilities of the resort are also complete, meeting all my needs during the vacation. The rooms are spacious and bright, and the decoration is elegant and comfortable, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort. The swimming pool, gym, SPA and other facilities in the resort made me linger and enjoy the fun of vacation. Of course, food is also an indispensable part of vacation. The restaurants in New Century Grand Resort offer a variety of delicious dishes, whether Chinese or Western, which are unforgettable. In particular, their special dishes are praised by people and add a lot of color to my vacation experience. In general, New Century Grand Resort is a relaxing and relaxing resort. Whether it is the beautiful environment, first-class service, rich facilities or delicious food, I feel its unique charm. If you also want to find a good place to relax and enjoy the fun of vacation, then New Century Grand Resort is definitely a good choice. I strongly recommend everyone to come here to experience it!"

"The overall environment of the hotel is good, and the food is delicious. I would especially like to praise the waiter named Wu from Guanshan. He provided travel reminders, considered upgrading the room for tourists' experience, and solved travel details. The service was very warm and thoughtful."

"A very satisfying stay! The hotel is right on the shore of Tianmu Lake. Manager Zeng kindly upgraded us to a lake-view room for free 🥳 The floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the lake, and sitting by the window, we could enjoy the view – very pleasant! While the hotel facilities are consistent with renovations from 10 years ago, they were clean and tidy. The room included a 100 RMB voucher for authentic Tianmu Lake fish head hot pot, which we ordered a day in advance from Manager Zeng. The soup was indeed delicious, and the fish was tender – clearly made with fresh fish. It was great value after the discount! We also ordered celery and pork ribs, which came to about 100 RMB per person. Lunch at the hotel ends at 1 PM, so it's recommended to book in advance with the manager. The hotel package includes a complimentary bicycle for one hour of riding. We actually rode for about 3 hours, starting around 10:30 AM and returning around 1:30 PM. The hotel provided Giant mountain bikes, which were excellent and comfortable to ride! At Tianmu Lake scenic area, only electric bikes are available for rent; bicycles are almost nonexistent, and family bicycles are even less common! The hotel's (actually free) bicycle rental service was fantastic! Our route was hotel-Shahe Bridge-hotel, and the return trip on Highway 1 was almost entirely downhill with beautiful scenery – a truly wonderful experience! The hotel's hot spring is outdoor; you need to bring your swimsuit if you want to use it. Guests can use the outdoor hot spring for free. We didn't bring our swimsuits, and it felt a bit chilly outside, so we skipped it. Our manager recommended an indoor hot spring in Liyang city called Jinsha Hot Spring, about a 25-minute drive from the scenic area. We took our child there; it cost 80 RMB per person, including one meal, and allowed 12 hours of use – also quite good!"

"We originally booked an elegant standard room. I'd heard great things about the hotel's private hot spring rooms, and luckily there was a promotion when we arrived, so we upgraded to a hot spring room for a small extra charge. The room was fantastic! It had its own private hot spring tub and was on a secluded floor. Even the key cards were custom-designed, which was a nice touch. Service: Butler Dai Dai provided excellent service. I happened to mention that the black rice at breakfast was really good, and Butler Dai Dai overheard me and sent some up to our room – so thoughtful and attentive, highly recommend! Cleanliness: The room was spotless, the bedding was clean, and the mattress was super comfortable. The private hot spring tub water is changed after every guest, and the privacy was excellent. Ambiance: The overall hotel environment is lovely. The central courtyard's water curtain wall is a great spot for photos. Definitely recommend!"

"🛏️About the room: Booked a twin room, but the hotel only has 3 floors?! We were arranged on the 2nd floor facing the parking lot. As soon as the window was opened, there were cars coming and going. It was stuffy when the curtains were drawn. The sense of privacy was directly reduced to zero😅I wanted to change rooms but was told that ”all rooms are like this”. I couldn't bring two kids with me and had to make do with it... 🎙️Late-night horror moment: I never expected to run into ”classmates' reunion and team building for old uncles and aunts who graduated 20 or 30 years ago”! The uncles and aunts were still talking at 10:50 pm. The sound insulation was not good, and the experience was directly negative! 🍉Welcome gift was a big failure: I used points to exchange for ”Welcome Fruit Yogurt”, but I got a small tomato (one of which was rotten) + 2 cans of 100g Mengniu yogurt... Let's say that the points were exchanged for loneliness😓 💧The most confusing operation: The child needs warm water to make milk powder, and there are only 2 bottles of free mineral water in the room. I asked the housekeeper for 2 more bottles, but he said ”refills are charged”? ? ? The layout is too small🤦♀️ 🍳 Big disappointment in breakfast: It is advertised as ”rich buffet”, but in fact, children over 120cm are charged 68 yuan, but looking at it: biscuits, twisted dough sticks, three kinds of white porridge... hot dishes are like lettuce and cauliflower, with few choices and low value for money!"

"Our recent stay was truly exceptional, and a large part of that was due to the outstanding service provided by Song Likun, our host. From the moment we arrived, Song went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our stay was perfect. Their warm and professional demeanor made us feel welcome and valued throughout our visit. Song's attention to detail was remarkable, as they anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Whether it was arranging special requests or providing insightful recommendations, Song's dedication to guest satisfaction was unparalleled. What stood out the most was their genuine hospitality and the personal touches they added to our experience. It’s rare to encounter someone who takes such pride in their role, and Song is truly a credit to their team. We wholeheartedly recommend staying here and will certainly return, thanks in large part to the exceptional service from Song Likun."

"Traveling with a puppy, this is a pet-friendly hotel. Although it is not in the popular area, it has the same feeling of avoiding the world as the hotel name ”Yinhuju”. The hotel facilities are very complete, clean and tidy and very new, and they are well maintained at first glance. The room is super large, the decoration style is very eye-catching, the large floor-to-ceiling windows can see the small lake and swimming pool in the hotel, you can lie flat in the hotel for a long time. The garden that comes with it is very beautiful and the puppy is very happy. The restaurant tastes good, the breakfast is a bit simple, it is recommended to add freshly ground coffee."

"Food: Breakfast was varied, with western，asian and local. We had Dinner at the main buiding using ******* set menu and it was a good deal, as the 2 person deal is enough to feed 4 and tasted quite delicious. Location: it is a resort so you are going to spend most of the time on the resort ground. We booked 3 day 2 night and the time was enough to explore everything. Nice scenery. Amenities: only a few activities were covered in our package so it will depend on your package. The package was confusing and we didnt know exactly all the activities that were free or cost extra. The reception on check in should have explained all of this upon check in, but maybe they are not trained, or maybe because our accomadation at pinecone is considered 4 star so they used lower quality staff. All the free stuff are a bit lame and service was poor except for the craft lady who actually showed us a wechat app for the hotel where free activity voucher can be found. They outsourced the activity area so that is really poor decision as it hurts the brand image due to service levels. For hotel staff, thumbs up to the shuttle ladies, who you call to get from one place to another. They are prompt and speedy. Service: check in staff was professional but not warm. As mentioned, the activity area is outsourced so most staff are cold and seemed rude, except for the craft lady who was actually decent. But considering this resort and the type of guest, i would consider this really bad. Cleaniness: the room is very clean, a bit worn (see pics of wall), but it feels quite clean."

"This is a regular hotel, not a homestay. It is about 20 minutes' walk and five minutes' drive from Nanshan Bamboo Sea. This hotel is relatively large around Nanshan Bamboo Sea, with an outdoor swimming pool and a large pond with landscape. Parking is also very convenient, and you can park anywhere as long as there is a gap. The room is quite standard, and two 1.5-meter beds are suitable for a family outing, and it is not crowded at all. There is also a children's slide in the room, as well as a free racing car. It is recommended that the hotel understand the guests' situation in advance. If the guests' children are older, there is no need to arrange a room with a slide, which can't be played at all and takes up space. The breakfast is also quite standard. Many people ate at 7 o'clock in the morning, and everyone rushed to the first wave to go to Nanshan after eating. Finally, I would like to praise the front desk at 7 o'clock in the evening on May 1st. It is really enthusiastic, and they are not tired of answering guests' questions and giving reasonable suggestions. Such a front desk is to increase the impression points of the hotel!"
