Daxin Hotels with Pools

Extremely satisfied with this guesthouse! I initially chose this location because the electric scooter parking at Yu Lin Ba (Fish Scale Dam) costs money, so I figured I'd stay here, see the dam, and then rent a scooter. That turned out to be a great decision – the location is incredibly advantageous, and currently, this guesthouse offers the best value and is the prettiest in the area. The hotel rooms come with washing machines, there's a 'Sky Mirror' on the rooftop, and a kids' pool downstairs. What really stands out is how attentive they are to every detail. Every corner is spotless. When I went to the Sky Mirror at noon, an auntie even specially cleaned the glass. The swimming rings by the pool were all nice and new, not tattered at all. The room also had a Tmall Genie, and the cleaning was impeccable. I arrived early, and they opened one room for me, and I practically watched them prepare the adjacent one. When we checked in, the staff immediately took photos of our license plate to link it to the parking system. The service was incredibly thoughtful, and we even received brown sugar as a parting gift when we checked out. A truly delightful stay!

I did a lot of research online before coming to Chongzuo, and it turns out choosing Mingshi Courtyard was an incredibly smart decision! First, the facilities are excellent. The room is huge, with a split-level design. Downstairs is the living room and bathroom, and a balcony with views of the garden and pool. Upstairs is the bedroom, a very reasonable separation of living and sleeping areas. Crucially, there's almost no light pollution or noise, which is truly rare and wonderful. Secondly, the service is outstanding. Many hotels offer butler service groups, but the Mingshi Courtyard's butler was the most responsive I've encountered. From golf cart transfers and addressing requests to providing directions and more – during my four-day stay, every single staff member I met was smiling, warm, attentive, and patient. It felt like they all owned the place themselves. The management is truly impressive! Finally, and the biggest perk, is how convenient it is to stay at Mingshi Courtyard for exploring Chongzuo, given its proximity to Mingshi Scenic Area. It's actually located *inside* the Mingshi Scenic Area, allowing for an immersive experience of the pastoral scenery. It's also super convenient for visiting Dao Na Li Cafe, Detian Waterfall, and Dongna Yuwan. You can even borrow bicycles from the hotel and cycle through the fields, which is incredibly relaxing! They even gave us organic rice and other souvenirs when we left. I really wanted to write them a good review, hoping more people will discover this high-quality hotel!

This hotel exceeded my expectations. We traveled here by private car from Baise, and the entrance is quite small – truly a hidden gem, just as other online reviews described! The natural environment of the hotel is quite impressive. But what surprised me even more was the service. From check-in, seeing that there were three of us, they upgraded us to a triple room with a panoramic corner view, so we could wake up with the sunrise. Since we didn't have a car and were planning how to get to Detian Scenic Area (even though it's only 2 kilometers away), the front desk offered a shuttle service. So, the round-trip transfers to Detian from the hotel on our second day were all arranged by the hotel staff. During our 1+ day stay, every single staff member we encountered greeted us warmly with a smile, and offered helpful advice on routes and precautions for exploring the scenic area. Their genuine kindness was the most delightful aspect of our trip. Additionally, the hotel's own restaurant offers all-day dining. We had a late breakfast, then headed to Detian, and after Detian, we went to the Blue Grotto. We didn't want to eat at those scenic area restaurants, as the ambiance and food safety are definitely not as good as the hotel's. So, after finishing our activities, we chose to dine at the hotel around 3 PM. We just needed to inform the front desk what we wanted to eat about half an hour in advance. The pineapple rice is a must-try!

Location of hotel is very convenient for travelers who take the tourist bus from either Chungzuo, Nanning or from Detian waterfalls scenic area. The room we booked had a nice view of the fields and karst mountains. What a beautiful sight to behold indeed. During the day, it can get noisy with all the comings and goings in the village and all around but at night, it was very quiet. The rooftop terrace was very nice and not busy when we were there. Breakfast was enjoyable with steamed buns, corn, soup noodles and boiled sweet potatoes- a healthy start for a very busy day. The very nice lady in charge of breakfast offered us breakfast on our check in day (we arrived at 10:30) and made sure we had enough to eat before sending us off to explore! We had never met a B&B operator who was so caring and generous. On our check out day, even though she was still busy with guests, she rushed out to bid us a fond farewell and a safe onward trip. Front desk and cleaning team were all very friendly, always smiling and helpful. All in all, a very warm and pleasant stay at Mingshi Scenic Area.

The location of this hotel, which I chose for my self-drive trip, was absolutely perfect! It's ideally situated, very close to Detian Waterfall by car, so we could visit the transnational waterfall anytime we wanted. We were also just a short walk from Shuolong Food Street, where we could easily find all sorts of authentic local snacks. It was perfect for both eating and exploring. We happened to be celebrating my child's birthday here, and the owner thoughtfully helped us set up a special birthday scene, which really brought the celebratory atmosphere to life. The room also had a balcony. Looking out, the surrounding landscape was stunningly beautiful, and opening the window revealed a feast for the eyes. It was a trip that perfectly combined beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a sense of occasion – truly a happy and fulfilling experience!

This hotel is located in a small town next to Mingshi Garden, offering a peaceful and comfortable stay despite being in a lively area. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with beautiful views both from the window and within the courtyard. The bedding and pillows were very comfortable; I slept soundly for three nights, not even waking up during a thunderstorm and rain! We happened to be there during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the hotel arranged a Zhuang minority choir, glutinous rice cake making, and bamboo pole dancing, which was a wonderful cultural experience. They even put turmeric in the glutinous rice cakes, which was a nice touch. The pool was a bit shallow, and the water was very clear underground water, which was a shame I didn't dare go in. The projector in the room was great for watching movies when it rained and we couldn't go out. However, finding an ashtray in the room was a negative point; allowing smoking indoors is quite outdated. The chef's bone fish and dragon's whiskers dishes were both good, but a bit too salty. Breakfast was a little monotonous.

Located right inside the Old Kapok scenic area, by the Vietnamese border river, it's super close to Detian Waterfall, which helps you avoid rush hour traffic. Breakfast was at the Old Kapok Hotel, and the 'Lao You Fen' (local rice noodles) was delicious. This was my first time staying in a tent, and it was a great experience – I woke up to the sound of birdsong.

The facilities are complete. It's clean and hygienic, with an elegant environment and warm service. The handsome young man and beautiful young woman at the front desk are very responsible and told us about the tour routes and good restaurants. It's very close to the Mingshi Visitor Center. If you go out and turn right onto the main road, it's a 20-minute walk to the Yulinba Scenic Area. The breakfast is also plentiful, and the noodles are delicious.

Overall, it was a really good stay. In this area, it's definitely one of the hotels with a great location and excellent facilities. The room design is well-thought-out, and there's a beautiful view from the window, making for a very comfortable stay. The room comes with a washer-dryer combo, and parking is convenient right next to the hotel, which is perfect for those traveling by car. As for breakfast, it's a set menu and quite tasty. (I do want to mention the auntie who cooks the rice noodles at breakfast. When I asked her to add some blanched greens, she gave me a very sour look and said some rather unpleasant things. The day before, the owner was there and kindly added them. This auntie I encountered on the second day really left a bad taste in my mouth.)

The room facilities, though a bit dated, were very well-maintained and clean, showing the hotel's dedication. The hotel is located near the Guichun River within the scenic area, offering views of the Vietnamese people across the river, though the barbed wire fence is a bit of a letdown. However, the hotel's garden restaurant is an absolute disaster—the food is unappetizing and truly awful. I'd recommend eating before you check in or returning to the hotel to rest after you've had a meal elsewhere.
