Best Yang Tao Spa Hotels

We spent two nights in a Tent overlooking the lake (last one #15). Very good concept. Our tent was next to the mini-farm, good to see the goats and pigs and chicken before eating some of them. The tent was well appointed if a little frayed at the edges. I understand the camp has been built 2016, the grounds are well kept and nicely laid out. The restaurant and main lodge are in traditional style. Restaurant staff is knowledgeable. Reception and lounge staff, maybe because it was mid-season, mostly composed of nice enough but inexperienced teenagers. You can wait half an hour waiting for somebody to notice you are hanging out and maybe in need of a drink, while two staff teenagers are eagerly chit-chatting over some video they are watching on the laptop nearby. But very helpful overall, once prompted. Food is hyper-local, and hence not the most sophisticated but certainly authentic for the Central Highlands. There is a lost opportunity to emphasize localism, what with the zell-tended vegetable garden in the middle of the camp, but no attempt to showcase the work or the results (the food in the restaurant). Similarly, if the resort is sustainable etc, then showcase it a little more than just in a hardly legible paragraph in the room flyer. Maybe organize a mini-tour, including of the resort temple on the hill that I discovered by accident. Central Highlands are really interesting, minorities, crafts, traditions, cultures, agriculture, and the short tours are well organized. The lake itself is not that inviting, appartently it is a water reservoir but I would not drink that water. Explanations/touring the fishing would be a good thing too. So all in all 4 as there is room for improvement but overall a good experience off the beaten path. No wifi in tents.
