Amazing hotel! It really is more like a resort with a lot of things to discover. Unfortunately, probably due to the current pandemic situation, not everything has been in operation. You got a little nice bar for the occasional long-nighter 😅 there and a restaurant with a huge menu of different meals. The restaurant service has been unbelievable quick to serve the fresh cooked dishes. The hotel itself has been quite clean and the service staff always been helpful. Do not expect anyone speaking English thou. The whole surrounding is taken care of with visible passion and still you feel like in the middle of the jungle. If you got some time to spare, walk around the little village outside the hotel and try to find the small beautiful almost historic part of it, still being actively lived in by the locals. Just please always be respectful and cautious not to disturb them in any way.
FYI: if you arrive there by bus from from Nanning (南宁) to DaXin (大新) (the ride itself is absolutely worth it), there are local drivers Infront of the bus station who know how to get to the hotel. Just make sure not to pay more then 250 RMB. Also make sure all your health codes, passports, visas, etc are all in order and quickly handy. After all it is a border region and the are a lot of checkpoints to pass through. That's no time to mess up anything.

I highly recommend the hotel, whether it is the environment (because the hotel itself is a scenic spot), service, or hygiene, it is really great. The decoration of the hotel is unique. I like the wood-like decoration. I can walk around the hotel park in my free time. Take a look at the Common People's Garden, walk along the border, and look at the boundary markers. The air here is super good, and the sunset is beautiful to see from the window of the room in the morning. Breakfast is also very rich. There was a female manager in the hotel. I forgot to ask her name. She watched us walking in the park and told us where to go to see the beautiful scenery and where to see the boundary markers. Because the park is a bit big, we specially called a car to take us back to the hotel. Thanks again to the female manager who forgot to ask her name. When you come to Detian, it is recommended to stay here for a while. The waiters here, whether young or pretty, are always smiling. Thank you to every waiter at the Old Kapok Resort Hotel. In addition, their campus is also very clean.
