Jinmao Purelax Lijiang exceeded every aspect of our expectations. The staffs are super polite and helpful, rooms are neat and clean. We can see the Yulong Snowy Mountain right at the balcony and at the buffet hall. The internal landscaping is gorgeous. With trees and flowers of all kinds surrounded, there's a great sized lake where black swans and ducks call it home too. The hotel also keeps a few alpacas, ponies, goats and boarder collies. Our children really enjoyed petting the animals and feeding the swans and fish every morning.

Hotel kindly granted our top floor room request with beautiful views of the lake pavilion grounds and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from our balcony. Room was large and comfortable. Buggy service was prompt. Housekeeping staff were excellent - professional and non-intrusive. Staff even laid towels under clothes left on bedside table to keep them clean. We particularly enjoyed our breakfast buffet and the weekend seafood bbq dinner buffet. Hotel grounds were palace-like beautiful with garden paths. There is a European bakery, animals and in-house guest activities offered.

Hotel could consider upgrading toilets to full electronic bidet toilets to keep up with newer hotels in Lijiang. It should offer local Yunnan loose leaf tea instead of Dilmah Ceylon teabags and original Nespresso coffee capsules to complement the Nespresso machine in the room. Guests would also appreciate a welcome drink, treat and wet towels upon arrival.

Such a beautiful hotel. The scenery is amazing from every angle. The restaurants and bakery on site were excellent - we were there to celebrate my daughter's birthday and they were able to arrange a cake with candles at very short notice and even delivered a complimentary cake to our room later in the evening! Breakfast buffet had a great spread of western and Asian foods. The kids enjoyed the petting zoo and animal feeding and complimentary hotel activities such as tie dyeing. Overall, an amazing stay.

Nothing

Hailson and Vicky the main two colleague looking after hotel pets were very helpful. One of the highlight of the hotel is the in house pet zoo which my two kids enjoyed every day. Hotel has activities for children can easily not have gone outside. We did spent most of our 3 days in the hotel ground. The only pity is that we all got sick from an afternoon meal in the hotel (not sure what it was, may be it was sandwich with uncooked lettuce).

The outside seating areas in our Villa was stripped bare, it should have cushions on top of the wooden chairs to enjoy a warm summery day. Kitchen should also have basic cutlery, especially missing a microwave.

A lot of fun activities available, very clean, friendly staff, good food, beautiful sceneries. Our villa is well furnished and we are able to see the mountain view from our balcony.

Repeated breakfast items for 3 days stay.

Beautiful architecture and pleasant mountain views. Great bedding and showers. Hot baths in the spa/pool changing rooms.

Raucous pool in the afternoon due to the number of children. Breakfast is also overpriced due to the absence of alternatives nearby.

The hotel room is huge and the bed is very comfortable. There are a lot of activities you can participate in the hotel. Overall a really comfort and relaxing experience.

The fridge in the room is a bit noisy.

Gorgeous view and nice spa facilities.

Very nice property but starting to be old and not well take care of. I didn’t like that the temperature in the room couldn’t go above 19 degrees.

One of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in. The animals were so cute, my kids loved them

A little far from town but it's ok as it's meant to be a serene escape

The location is perfect. The scenery is so beautiful. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful. They make you feel like you’re at home. The hotel and facilities are lovely.

The rooms could have been a little cleaner in the bathrooms.
