Dali Taoxi Secret Manor

10/10 Excellent
"Manager Kadi took care of us very well, especially looking after our special request for halal food. On our day of departure he was even kind enough to drop us off at a halal restaurant for lunch on the way to the train station in his personal vehicle. The room was very spacious and all the staff were very kind and helpful. The Thai spa is a must try!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Dali

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Dali is during March, April, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For a truly enriching experience that allows for the exploration of key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can enjoy activities such as visiting ancient temples, exploring charming small towns, and immersing yourself in the local culture. Additionally, you might consider rock climbing, yoga, or horseback riding, as well as relaxing in hotsprings or kayaking in the picturesque forests. With plenty of great value for money options, Dali is an excellent choice for those on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for your stay in Dali, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. To stay informed about potential flash sales and special promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you identify the best hotel deals. By keeping an eye on updates regarding price drops or availability, you're more likely to seize opportunities for great savings on your Dali getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Dali. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest more economical dates to enhance your chances of securing a great deal.
  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation near key attractions or city centres can offer convenience, but it often comes with a higher price tag. For more affordable options, it may be worth considering hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you intend to visit. You could also look into independent hotels situated further out, as they are usually more likely to be affordable while providing a more authentic experience.
