Yangshuo The Tong Resort

One of my favorite hotel stays to date! This is an exceptional boutique hotel with just 9 rooms, in an excellent location for all the Yulong River activities, yet really quiet and tucked away from the crowds. Our suite was open plan but very large and beautifully decorated. We especially appreciated the high ceilings, wall of windows and large terrace with great views. Service was excellent and personalized. A special shout out to Easter, who speaks excellent English and gave us very good advice on how to organize our free day. She also created a WeChat group so we could easily communicate with the entire staff team; any questions/requests we had were answered almost instantly. The public facilities were somewhat limited given the size of the property, but they are also very attractive. There's a great infinity pool along the river and we really enjoyed the meals we had onsite (2 breakfasts, one dinner and afternoon tea). We would have really liked to extend our stay by a night just to chill out on property; that's how special this place is.

Truly enjoyed my three nights stay. Super clean, spacious, nicely decorated, big balcony with fantastic views. Tailor made breakfast with various options and dinner were of high quality at reasonable prices. Mid night snacks were a highlight with many delicious dishes. Great service with butler system on WeChat made life easy. Even provided turn down service which many international five star hotels don’t offer anymore for decades. Heated swimming pool in outdoor area was an attraction. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing 2 night stay at the Tong Resort - it’s well located near Shili Gallery but super peaceful with only 9 rooms. Chinese resorts are usually really loud and busy but Tong resort was pure serenity. The rooms are spacious and has all the amenities you need, not to mention the view from the balcony (simply stunning) and you will never go hungry with a great breakfast, afternoon tea and evening desserts. The staff really go above and beyond, nothing is too trouble much trouble for them. 10/10, highly recommend.
