5-Star Hotels in Chongzuo

I booked a trip with two of my best friends to Lux Secret Retreat in Chongzuo, and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. The most delightful surprise was the hotel's signature bamboo raft afternoon tea. Because of the heavy rain beforehand, the water level was too high, so we couldn't go. Doris from the hotel kept a close eye on the situation for me and immediately contacted me and made a reservation as soon as it was possible on our check-out day. The bamboo raft gently glided through the clear water and lush bamboo groves, with delicate refreshments and fruit drinks. As we drifted, the unique peaks on both sides slowly receded into the distance, making for fantastic photos. My friends and I chatted and admired the scenery – the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. A romantic afternoon tea combined with thoughtful service – it was all wonderful!

This hotel, Changliu Mountain Abode, shares its name with Changliu from 'The Journey of Flower' and boasts a wonderful ambiance. The guest rooms are not in the main lobby building but in a separate, independent building next to it. The rooms are incredibly spacious, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a massage bed, which made for a very comfortable rest and a fantastic night's sleep. The balcony features a large bathtub, which adds a great touch to the atmosphere. Curtains around the tub ensure privacy, so there's no need to worry about that. The only minor drawback is that there's no indoor connecting passage between the two buildings. If it rains, you have to go outside, which means you could get wet. The hotel's advantages are quite prominent. It has a private gate that offers direct access to the popular Fish Scale Dam, making it very convenient for water activities. However, summer is peak season, and the Fish Scale Dam gets very crowded, so it's advisable to visit during off-peak hours. The thoughtful welcome amenities include a complimentary afternoon tea, and the breakfast buffet offers a rich variety of choices.

We had a lovely stay at Mingshi Yaju Hotel. The hotel staff were kind and accommodating. The buffet breakfast was tasty and there was enough variety to choose from. The room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The amenities inside were great too. We made use of the gym and the pool. During our second day, the hotel let us use their bicycles to explore around Mingshi. Overall the experience was relaxed and enjoyable. Unfortunately there was a little bit of construction happening nearby, but it didn’t generate too much noise and in the evening everything was quiet and peaceful. For dinner was chose not to eat at the hotel, but rather to explore the restaurants around just outside of the park area. I had a great time and would recommend to friends.

A very satisfying trip! Since it was the off-season, there were fewer people, and the service was even more attentive. It's not just a hotel, but more like a community, with services like travel photography and a Chinese restaurant also open to the public. The coffee shop across the way, 'Dao Na Li', is a popular spot for Instagram photos, but hotel guests can enter for free. The service was excellent! The package I bought included afternoon tea, a travel photography session, and more. They even packed up our afternoon tea for us to take away. The staff were all very enthusiastic and helpful in resolving any issues. However, the restaurant, travel photography, and hotel seemed to operate independently. When I placed my order, it said I needed to book several days in advance, so I called before checking in. The attitude was good, but they kept telling me someone would contact me later, which created a slow information gap. The travel photographer added me on WeChat around 10:30 PM that evening, and the restaurant didn't add me. When I called to inquire, they asked for my room number, which I didn't have since I hadn't checked in yet. Upon arrival, the reception seemed a bit confused; I guess during the off-season, reservations aren't really necessary. There was also a tour group dining at the same time, with their guide using a megaphone to celebrate the festival, which truly gave it a 'community canteen' vibe in the literal sense.

The hotel is surrounded by mountains and forests, the air is fresh, and the rooms are spacious, clean, tidy and comfortable! The service was attentive and attentive, polite and enthusiastic, the breakfast was rich, the Guangxi rice noodles were delicious, and the swimming pool was also very unique. The children had a great time and didn’t want to leave the next day. It was a great trip, I sincerely recommend it, and I will come again next time !

Although they both belong to Guangxi, there are still great differences between the north and the south of Guangxi. Taking advantage of the peak shift, from Guilin in the north of Guangxi to Chongzuo in the south, Guilin already needs jackets in November, but Chongzuo still solves the problem with short sleeves. This time I stayed at Huashan Shengmei Resort, which was recommended by a friend. It greatly exceeded my expectations. The Hui-style architecture is rare in Guangxi. The service was also very good. Before I checked in, the housekeeper even organized a group to deal with all my inquiries. The surrounding environment is also very good. , it’s very convenient to go to Huashan, and overall it’s great.
