Redefining service excellence

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jan 2021via mobile
We stayed in the Shangri-la during January 2021 and can genuinely say that it was an excellent experience. Living for almost a decade in Asia, we had our fair share of great hotel experiences; however, the service we enjoyed here was redefining excellence. Our personal guest relations supervisor consistently went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was pleasant. Fruits, wine, trip suggestions, regular checking in (unobtrusively digital), flexible changes... Congratulations to the GM; in his hotel, you feel like a friend and not just like a guest

I was here before for a week relaxing and golfing, this time together with my wife over Christmas and New Year.
The hotel and staff made our stay very comfortable, a nice experience and not too noisy or crowded like some other areas and hotels at Yalong or Haitang Bay.The resort is quite big and at any time we can find some more quiet place. - On other hand we every day played golf, about ten courses not too far away from the hotel, after that some restaurant, massage,...
Really a perfect holiday for my wife and me.

Very good experience with a lot of kid friendly facilities and activities, people are friendly, the breakfast choice is both international and local. Bring enough sun cream and enjoy at swimming pool, kids can really play there a whole day. Activities such as bubble party is also fun for kids, they really love chasing the bubbles.

The hotel is truly a destination where you can relax. Nice and cosy atmosphere, nice environment from the room to the swimming pool, to the buffet restaurant.
It was also great to enjoy a treatment in the Chi SPA to relax after the trip
