Five-Star Hotels in Yangshuo

It was my birthday during the stay and the hotel gifted me a cake <3

This is our 2nd stay at the Apsara plus 1 stay at the neighbouring sister hotel Moondance. It's ideal for hiking, biking, e-biking, rafting, rock climbing, and rafting ........... Check-in was easy, just hand in the passports/ID and they'll bring them back to you when registered, the public area has a cosy fireplace, a small bar and a restaurant area. Tea and coffee are on hand all day, and afternoon snacks are provided as well. The restaurant food is mostly Chinese but tasty and a few other bits such as chicken popcorn and chips for the kids. Breakfast is fine with cereals, toast, a range of hot foods, eggs and noodle soups. The pool is open all year and the brave in winter can take a dip! there is outdoor seating overlooking the river and a rainproof gazebo in wet weather. The rooms are spacious and rustic. the beds are clean and comfortable with aircon for hot and cold as needed. Some rooms are suitable for families singles couples and friends so plenty of choices. Tips - contact the hotel for we chat connections and they can be super helpful and cater for your needs. free bikes are on hand and the hotel can help with a range of activities, many an easy cycle or within an hours walk. hiking the back trails along the rivers and karst is easy and well worth it but download apps to your phone such as MapsMe, Locus Map and A Map have most of the paths marked between them. The nearest train station is Yangshuo 2h30m ish from Guangzhou and 4-5h30m from Wuhan and the airport at Guilin. The hotel can arrange transfers.

THAT MAY Hotel is located in easy walking distance [10 min] from 'Standing Coffee Viewpoint' - one of the most scenic location along the Li River. A misleading name as it is a karst hill with an outstanding view from the easy to reach first view point. Reaching the top is not necessary at all, and rather cumbersome - albeit there is a stairway. Try only if fit and with acceptable shoes. Both viewpoints are unforgettable! Yes, one must buy a drink to get access - about CYN 30+. Cash or Alipay. There is also the Dixin Tansuo Cave within 1+ km from THAT MAY Hotel. Jack might drive you there. I asked for a bike ride from one of the kind Standing Viewpoint staff and tipped him well. They were not very busy on that day. Avoid this cave if you are overweight, very tall, or not 100% mobile. I suffered! I would not visit it again. The first chamber of the cave is well lit and 'enough' - easy to reach. Then turn back to the entrance!! Entrance fee: CYN 42. Cash or Alipay, etc. On my first evening I had ordered a locally fished 'Beer Fish' as per Jack's suggestion; prepared by his cook. Excellent. I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, I stayed two days only as I already had made preparation for my onward journey to Kunming by highspeed train. These tickets must be booked well in advance as trains are almost always fully booked. 3 nights, or even many more nights simply to relax would have been more charming. The i-net is medium fast due to the rural area, I presume. After 22:00+ or in early morning one can easily send or download heavy data too. Up the gentle hill, just beyond the above mentioned Cave, there is a pleasant local restaurant serving affordable and very tasty food and they offer a great view too. If driven there, a walk back is easy and safe due to limited traffic, i.e., during daylight. There are 2 mall shops just 100+ m away from Jack's hotel. No ATM in sight, Bring Alipay or cash.

Absolutely stunning location which is why we chose to stay here and it did not disappoint. The perfect place to take a pause from daily life and forget that cities exist. Even though the staff did not speak English, we found a way to communicate through WeChat, and every one of the staff that we met, tried their best to help me and my mom to feel well taken care of.

Hotel offers various activities and physiological practices such as yoga or herbal therapies. Hotel also conveniently located near by tourist attractions. You can enjoy nice views combined with lotus and corn fields. English speaking and helpful staff.

Absolutely beautiful oasis in Yangshuo! It was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn’t have been happier. The buildings and gardens are just gorgeous. It’s perfectly located for exploring the area and the staff are just amazing! I arrived with a broken ankle and I was somewhat limited in what I could do. The staff were just fantastic. Always looking out for me and they were incredibly helpful booking activities, drivers etc. Julia and Sophia and their team speak excellent English and really made us feel at home. It’s a truly peaceful environment, restful and surrounded by organic vegetable gardens and natural landscapes.

Stunning property, albeit slightly dated, but great value for money and the location is wonderful. The staff really standout for their warmth and service mentality.

This hotel in Xingping is an absolute gem! Housed in a beautifully renovated old building, it seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern comforts. The outdoor swimming pool offers a refreshing retreat, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The location is unbeatable—right by the Li River, providing breathtaking views at every turn. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, offering warm hospitality and helpful local tips. Whether you're seeking tranquility or adventure, this hotel is a top choice. I can’t wait to return.
