Yangshuo Tea Cozy
A high-rated, pet-friendly outdoor pool stay
About this hotel
Set toward the Yangshuo side of the region rather than downtown Guilin, this property leans into a slower, resort-style pace built around the outdoor pool, the bar, and the restaurant rather than day trips into the city center. The 9.6 rating across 73 reviews puts it among the highest-scoring outdoor-pool stays in this entire guide, a genuinely deep sample rather than an early impression. Pets are welcome alongside the pool, and room service means the grounds don't need to be left for a full meal. The pool itself favors the guests who treat the hotel as the destination rather than a base for sightseeing, since the property doesn't sit especially close to any single named landmark the way some of the downtown options do.

The 9.6 rating from 73 reviews is one of the strongest in this guide. Anyone planning to spend most days out sightseeing in downtown Guilin should weigh the property's distance from the city center before booking, since it favors a slower, resort-centered pace.

- ✓Use room service for at least one meal, it saves leaving the pool deck during the hottest part of the day.
- ✓Book directly if the 9.6 rating matters to you, 73 reviews is a genuinely deep sample for a property this size.

Why guests love itGuests who want an outdoor pool stay to feel like a genuine break from sightseeing rather than a base camp for it tend to rate Yangshuo Tea Cozy highly, and the 9.6 score across 73 reviews backs that up with real weight behind it. The pool and the bar do most of the work here, with room service removing much of the reason to leave the grounds at all. Travelers with pets get an option that several of Guilin's higher-end outdoor-pool hotels don't extend the same welcome to.
