Under the Flying Clouds, Above the Cliffs

AlilA never disappoints! 🌈 Unique Features: Perched on the cliffs and occupying the best spot on Dong'ao Island, AlilA is flawlessly beautiful. You might be amazed by the view outside its lobby, impressed by its cliffside infinity pool, or captivated by its room designs—there’s always a reason to fall in love with it! 🏘️ Room Types/Layout: Rooms are divided into east and west wings. The east side offers sunrise views, while the west side boasts sunset vistas. Personally, I recommend the west wing for its unobstructed sea views, though the east side is slightly affected by neighboring islands. I chose a west-wing suite with a private tea room, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom and balcony face the sea—the sunset is indescribably stunning! 🎯 Recreational Facilities: The hotel features a Chinese restaurant, Western restaurant, bar, gym, spa, kids' play area, and an infinity pool—you can enjoy a perfect Dong'ao Island getaway without ever leaving the property! 💰 Average Cost: Hotel packages offer great value. Including meals, daily expenses range around 4-5k. Alternatively, take the hotel shuttle to the pier, buy fresh seafood, and have it cooked at nearby shops—this option is much cheaper than dining at the hotel. 💗 Other Tips: At checkout, ask the front desk for their stylish tote bag and keep a room key as a souvenir—both are beautifully crafted! The hotel feels like a little maze, perfect for leisurely exploration. I wanted to visit the rooftop, but staff wouldn’t allow it. Drones are strictly prohibited. If you want those brochure-worthy shots, you might have to "borrow" images—like my pool photo, which is from promotional material. Without a drone, it’s impossible to capture the same magic!
