Trip.com Group Country Retreats Hotels in Xinyuan

I highly recommend the Spruce Retreat Hotel! The location is absolutely stunning, right in the heart of Nalati Grassland. You open your window to breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, and spruce trees – the scenery is truly mesmerizing. The hotel facilities are brand new, with smart home features throughout, comfortable bedding, and attention to every detail. It also has its own restaurant, offering fresh ingredients and delicious meals, all while enjoying the beautiful grassland views. The butler service was incredibly warm and attentive, always ready to help, and even proactively assisted us with buying tickets for our self-drive tour, making everything so easy and thoughtful. The overall experience exceeded our expectations – it's definitely the top choice for accommodation when visiting Nalati!

Welcome fruit: Very fresh. Two one-hour tickets for the Narati Scenic Area Flying Horse Team riding experience: Very thoughtful, they even gave an extra ticket when they saw we had a child. Local specialty nut platter: All high-quality local specialty nuts, and you can get refills. The room design is very cozy and quiet. The environment is exceptionally beautiful, right at the foot of the mountain. You can see grasslands and mountains just by opening the curtains. There are cats, a pond with tadpoles, and many koi in the courtyard. The kids loved feeding the cats, and my dad enjoyed feeding the fish. The service is very attentive. They added us on WeChat to remind us to inform them of any service needs, and even gave us tickets to the Narati Grand Theater show. Let me talk about the dining experience. Upon check-in, we received a 288 RMB dining voucher, which was more than enough for a full meal for a family of three. Everyone says not to have high expectations for dining in Narati, but the hotel's food was genuinely excellent. Although the breakfast didn't have a huge variety, you could tell it was prepared with care – clean, hygienic, and not pre-made. The ribs, prawns, and fruit were also of very good quality. The coffee was freshly ground by the staff, just like in a coffee shop, which I loved. Afternoon tea was complimentary, and the kids really enjoyed the desserts. Beyond all of the above, what I found most satisfying was the hotel's incredibly convenient location. It's extremely close to the entrances of the Sky Grassland and River Valley Grassland, making it very easy to get in and out. Plus, the hotel can help purchase self-driving tickets, so you don't have to scramble or worry about not getting them, which was truly wonderful. They say prices in scenic areas during peak season are heavily inflated, but my experience was genuinely great – you get what you pay for. One minor drawback was a slight animal smell when we first entered, but it disappeared later. Given that it's a grassland area, this can be overlooked. The second minor drawback was that the bed in my room was a bit creaky; it made noise when I got up. However, my roommate is a sound sleeper, so it wasn't a big issue. In summary, if I go to Narati again, I would still choose to stay here.

I stayed for two days, and overall it was quite good. The service was among the best I've experienced during my trip to Xinjiang. As a Trip.com member, I could have unlimited drinks, and the staff, especially Xiao Zhou, were all excellent. The location is superb, and the environment is beautiful. There was just one thing that left us confused. We decided to have one meal at the hotel restaurant, and as shown in the first picture, this small cold dish – which they called 'braised beef' – cost 118 RMB. We were quite surprised when it arrived and repeatedly confirmed with the staff, who insisted it was indeed the 118 RMB braised beef. We had no choice but to accept it. The next day, it even reappeared as a side dish on the breakfast buffet table, making for quite an expensive breakfast…
