Excelente escolha
Pros:

Hotel excepcional. Muito bonito, com uma localização fabulosa e funcionários muito simpáticos, prestáveis e que falam bem inglês. Ajudaram-nos a marcar várias atividades e transportes e tudo funcionou na perfeição. Recomendamos a aula de culinária. Vale mesmo a pena.

The perfect place to stay in Yangshuo
Pros:

The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat was absolutely amazing and probably my favorite stay during a recent 2 week trip to China! The location was perfect--right along the Yulong River with beautiful views of the karst mountains. We loved eating breakfast outside and watching the bamboo rafts float down the river. The staff were all extremely kind and helpful and helped arrange excursions for my parentsb, bike rentals for myself and my boyfriend, and drivers to nearby excursions including the Qixian Tea Plantation and Sanjie Liu light show. The rooms were clean and beautiful with amazing views and traditional charm but modern amenities. I would 1000% stay here again and already want to return!

An exceptional property in a magnificent location, hosted by a staff of wonderful women.
Pros:

The entire experience staying here was exceptional. It’s always hard trying to determine where best to stay when you have never been to a new town. After visiting Yangshuo, I’m so glad I chose Yangshuo Mountain Retreat. Located right on the Yulong river, its location is perfect for a blissful and picture-perfect getaway. You can stroll up the riverside path 850 metres and do a leisurely bamboo raft ride. It’s about 15 minutes away from Ruyi cableway via Didi. You can cycle or walk the surroundings and admire the incredible karst scenery. The grounds and facilities are wonderful. The food and drinks are wonderful. The staff are wonderful. This is not one of these new hotels with fancy amenities and pictures that promise viral Instagram posts. Rather, what you get here is a magnificent retreat that I believe is amongst the best in the area.

Cons:

I didn’t have a problem with it - for me it was a positive - but some people might not like it’s a 10-15 Didi ride back into the town centre. If I had one personal wish is that their sceptic system could cope with toilet paper. You have to use a manual bidet to wash yourself.
