Daxin Hotels with Swimming Pools

Hua Lu (Lost in Nature) Hotel My wife and I stayed here for three nights in December 2023, but regretted that our schedule did not allow us to stay longer. The Hua Lu Hotel is a charming boutique hotel located in the Ming Shi village that features clusters of needle mountains that aggressively protrude from what otherwise appears to be a level agricultural plain. The origins of the village were for its farming potential but the stunning beauty of the location has popularized it as a tourist haunt, a place to visit either before or after checking out the Detian Waterfall on the China-Vietnam border. In among the locals’ modest houses, several B&Bs and hotels have sprouted to cater to tourists wanting a wide spectrum of accommodations from the extremely basic up to relatively high-end resorts. The Hua Lu (Lost in Nature) is best categorized as a high-end boutique hotel. It is situated on the eastern periphery of Ming Shi well away (approximately a kilometer) from a busy highway around which many of its competitors are clustered. The accent at the Hua Lo is on tranquility. Our room was a well-conceived suite that had been furnished with a Zen sensibility. The bathroom featured an oversize bathtub and separate shower unit, and there was a spacious and comfortable sitting area. A south-facing balcony overlooked an intensely cultivated, multi-acre market-garden, irrigated by river-fed, man-made channels. Locals could be observed tending crops from dawn to dusk in these fields. A Chinese style breakfast was included the room fee, but we also opted to eat dinner each evening in the hotel restaurant. Both breakfast and dinner meals were prepared with an accent on health and use of locally grown foods. After dark, an open fireplace in a courtyard was used to barbecue snacks such as sweet potato and chicken: the courtyard doubled as a children’s play area and storage place for bicycles (pedal) which could be used by hotel guests. Evidence suggests that tourism has trumped agriculture as the main occupation of the Ming Shi village. For tourists who prefer a more communal experience, the village offers guided sampan tours on the river that wends its way through the village. However, the best way to benefit from the village scenery is by bicycle. Cycling around the village and its dramatic needle-mountain vistas is easy, the bike trails are converted ag paths that intertwine the crop fields. They are paved and free of the traffic of tourist coaches, trucks and E-scooters that rage along the main highway. My wife and I felt that we had come across a gem of experience that vastly exceeded our expectations when we booked the hotel. We plan to visit again next year, to enjoy a longer stay with the R&R it provides. Sean Bennett

With the current travel restrictions we were nervous we’d not be allowed into the province and the hotel staff were helpful getting us the information we needed to enter the county and final arrive at their hotel. We felt taken care of and they arranged a driver to pick us up at the airport. They greeted us with smiles, the housekeeper left fruits and a nice hand written note, and the front desk did their best to make our stay a comfortable one. We were traveling with our toddler and the food options were delicious and affordable. We want to say thank you to Chen Kai for going out of his way to make us feel special and welcomed. He speaks English and made many great suggestions regarding travel, activities, and calling the hospitals to see where we could get our nucleic test. The space is surrounded my mountains and it’s green everywhere you look. You can take a boat ride along the river located just in front of the property. Currently there is construction on one side, they are expanding the facilities. The whole space is nice as worth a visit. We didn’t give a 5 for amenities because we felt it could have catered more to families.

Amazing hotel! It really is more like a resort with a lot of things to discover. Unfortunately, probably due to the current pandemic situation, not everything has been in operation. You got a little nice bar for the occasional long-nighter 😅 there and a restaurant with a huge menu of different meals. The restaurant service has been unbelievable quick to serve the fresh cooked dishes. The hotel itself has been quite clean and the service staff always been helpful. Do not expect anyone speaking English thou. The whole surrounding is taken care of with visible passion and still you feel like in the middle of the jungle. If you got some time to spare, walk around the little village outside the hotel and try to find the small beautiful almost historic part of it, still being actively lived in by the locals. Just please always be respectful and cautious not to disturb them in any way. FYI: if you arrive there by bus from from Nanning (南宁) to DaXin (大新) (the ride itself is absolutely worth it), there are local drivers Infront of the bus station who know how to get to the hotel. Just make sure not to pay more then 250 RMB. Also make sure all your health codes, passports, visas, etc are all in order and quickly handy. After all it is a border region and the are a lot of checkpoints to pass through. That's no time to mess up anything.

The facilities and location of the homestay are very good, especially the swimming pool really likes it. I chose a viewing room with a starry sky top. Although there is a separate air conditioning and shading layer, the room still has a hot air in the afternoon. There is also a layer of water mist on the outside glass of the swimming pool downstairs at night. I don't know if there are few stars or water mist, I can't see clearly

I was looking forward to the hotel in Chongzuo, and it was really wonderful. Nami added a text message the day before. When I arrived at the hotel, she introduced the hotel's facilities and activity arrangements. She was warm and friendly. I thanked the hotel staff for taking good care of everything. As soon as I entered the door, Aunt Huang and others performed a Zhuang ritual reception and welcomed ice powder. The banana forest at the entrance was like entering a secret place. The design and decoration of the hotel are at a perfect level. Looking back, it will be a beautiful picture. The unique mountains, rivers and tropical vegetation of Guangxi are all integrated just right. The hotel facilities also pay attention to details. There are reading rooms, infinity pools, and activity rooms. There will be lemongrass water and fruits. There is lemongrass essential oil in the room to prevent mosquitoes, etc. The packaging boxes of toiletries are also various patterns. I like the restaurant very much. The dishes are very local. There are buffets and orders for breakfast. The best snail noodles are here.

This hotel was amazing! Every aspect was built with comfort, beauty and relaxation in mind. The setting of the hotel is in the perfect spot right on the river and surrounded by towering mountains.They should add ”resort” to the name. The room was plush and spacious with a great view of both river and mountains. The infinity pool is amazing and built for relaxation. It has comfortable cabana style lounge chairs literally in the pool. The staff is very attentive and met every need. They also provide shuttle service to the river rafting starting point and provide bicycles for riding around the countryside. (The hotel is also the end point of the river rafting trip.) The only downside is that the hotel is difficult to get to. Apparently there are plans to make this town into a tourist destination. Most of the major roads were torn up and the facades of most buildings are under construction. Even with that, being at the resort makes all that irrelevant. If you need a place to wash all your stress away, this is the perfect place. If I had one recommendation, it would be to think about foreign guests in terms of adult beverages. There is a beautiful bar right next to the pool... but one doesn't want tea while at the pool. Everything else about this hotel is perfect.

1. The environment and decoration of the homestay are really good. It is indeed a mountain view room. Sleeping facing the mountains at night is what you want to experience when you come to Chongzuo. 2. The transportation around the homestay is very convenient. It is very close to the tourist distribution center. It is also very convenient to rent a car, charter a car, and take a taxi. It is also very convenient to drive and park. There are also many electric cars for rental and play. 3. There are many restaurants around the homestay. Whether you want to eat noodles every day or rice, you can eat it. 4. The boss lady is super nice. She will ask you where you want to go, how to go, whether you need help coordinating transportation, etc. There is also breakfast every morning. The noodles made by the boss lady herself taste very nice. In short, it is a very good and unforgettable trip to Chongzuo. Because of the beautiful scenery and good mood, of course, the convenience of accommodation conditions saves a lot of worries during the trip!

The hotel is spacious and bright, the facilities are complete, the service is good, the enthusiasm is high, the main reason is that the price is affordable, there is a parking lot, the breakfast is also very good, the stay is very comfortable, the hotel has a camping rooftop is my favorite, sitting there to see the mountains and water, drink something to eat melon seeds, not to mention how comfortable, It is suitable for young people to take pictures and punch in, and send a circle of friends to ask me where I am. In short, it was a pleasant trip. The details were full of care, making people feel at home. The washing machine and gym were all available. The children liked the swimming pool very much. They planned to bring their family to the second brush during the New Year holiday!

Traveling with a baby, the most important thing is that the child is satisfied. This time, adults and children are very satisfied. Very good environment and service, very warm heart.

Room: You can enjoy the scenery while lying on the bed, which is very chill. The room size is not large, but it is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. Facilities: The swimming pool is clean and beautiful. There is a washing machine, and the front desk helped wash and dry the clothes for us. The only small problem is that there is no parking lot. Parking is on the path in front of the B&B. Environment: There is nothing to say about the surrounding natural environment, it is right next to Mingshi Pastoral Scenic Area. It's also convenient to go out to eat. There are many restaurants on the road outside to choose from. Service: Super good! The aunts and ladies at the front desk are very enthusiastic. They will tell us how to play around, what to pay attention to, and bring us water every time we go out. Because we couldn't make it back to check out at the scenic spot at noon, they extended our check out until one o'clock in the afternoon.
