Excellently located in the new tourist area, this comfortable, simple guesthouse satisfied all the necessities for a brief stay in the heart of this very comfortable tropical China city. Simple by satisfactory
We spent 3 nights in the Yourantai. It is situated in a big tropical garden on a small hill at the northern end of Jinghong above the Mekong River. We were received very friendly by the manager and she helped us organize trips during our stay in Jinghong. The lodge is not cheap but since it has only five rooms/lodges its very secluded and spacious (most lodges have two floors) and does offer a great breakfast. We loved it here and can highly recommend it. Be sure to reserve dinner one day ahead since there is no regular restaurant and the chef has to buy and prepare the food specially for you!
My son and I spent 6 nights here. The staff and owner were fantastic. Friendly, helpful, and always available. They arranged guides, trips and suggestions of places to visit within an hour or two. A lovely jungle like setting (a former rubber plantation). We stayed at our own cottage, which was spacious, private and wonderful. The food, both chinese and western, was delicious. I would definitely return here.
Yourantai is in an absolutely splendid setting; real balm for the soul. Our Dai house, which comfortably accommodated the three of us, was a wonderful place to relax after a hard day's sightseeing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all delicious, with home made juices and jams from fruit picked from the gardens. A good selection of reasonably priced wines was on offer. Gerard, the owner, and the rest of the staff looked after us very well. Gerard helped with arranging taxis and outings and is very knowledgeable about the area and its flora and fauna, Would love to stay again next time we're in the area.
Yourantai is everything its website says it is - spacious wooden Dai style buildings in lush natural surroundings. Our 'housekeeper' Tina was friendly and helpful and the hospitable owner, Gerard, was ready with lots of local information invaluable for our onward travel. Just one caveat,however, the guesthouse is a long and complicated walk from the town centre, and taxi drivers do not know the place, so be sure to take up the guesthouse's offer to pick you up.
