Vantu·ANNICA Tourism Resort (Zhangjiajie National Forest Park)

Very nice hotel, very close to Avatar park, thanks to Xiao Qin for the support and helping us with tickets

Housekeeper Xiao QinHe was very helpful to us, he was very confident in communicating with us, although his English level needs to be improved, but he was very attentive, tried to communicate with us as much as possible, provided us with great help, the hotel was also very good, location, staff, thank you very much

Our trip to Zhangjiajie couldn’t have been better! This hotel is a few minutes walking distance away from a secondary (non crowded!) entrance to the National Park. The view from the pool is facing the National Park too, which couldn’t be more beautiful. Same goes for the surroundings as the area is super calm, you can relax indeed. The restaurant serves good typical food (we highly recommend the sea bass fish - both versions). The breakfast is acceptable with a mix of asian western (although mostly Asian you can find such things as yogurt, croissants, butter and bread). The hotel could be improved in minor details, which we passed on to the team. But these won’t make your experience bad in anyway. What made our stay one of the best in this big China trip was our hostess named Fan! ＜3 She was always available for us, did the impossible to find anything we needed and surprised us all the time. She carefully planned all our itineraries for all the attractions, never forgot a single request and spoke English better than anyone else in the Team. She was 6 out of 5*. ;) Don’t miss Jojo, the beautiful and cute cat belonging to the hotel. :) Our room also included a transfer which we used to the airport by the end of the stay, driving us in time to our flight. We hope to be back one day. :)

Big thanks to Fan for all her help with planning etc! very nice hotel in an amazing environment

Well located next to the park’s side entrance (less crowded). However, the food options around the area is quite limited and as we stayed for five nights got bored of eating all our meals in the hotel, we found ourselves constantly commuting to and fro from Wulingyuan for dinner. If you’re only staying for one or two nights, the hotel’s restaurant does serve decent food and you wouldn’t have the same issue as us. Though the place looks aesthetic in photos, we felt that the place is in need of better maintenance. e.g. peeling paint near the sink, floor skirting that looks like it’s about to fall out, patchy paint job. Because of this, we felt that the place is a little overpriced for the quality of the room we got. I think the rooms were probably much more impressive when the hotel first launched but the lack of maintenance got in the way. Despite all these, we did have a good time and the staff at the hotel were all very very helpful and sweet. A special shoutout to Xiao Tan for helping us arrange transportation, meals, and park entrance tickets.

had a pleasant stay at annika resort. the staff went above and beyond to fulfil our needs and wants. an honourable mention would go to xiao qing the hotel manager. he planned our whole itinerary for us. location was strategically located beside the national park however resort was a distance from the town area. Views from my tatami room were beautiful, price was reasonable for what you get in return. Would definitely recommend this place!
