[2025 Dali Hotels] Travel Guide for Dali Ocean Hotel (Updated Jul)

OMG, you guys! I was totally sold on this "underwater hotel" – becoming neighbors with over 20,000 marine creatures! Lying in bed watching sharks swim by, pulling open the curtains to greet sea turtles... This isn't just a hotel; it's like they've transported an underwater castle straight out of a fairy tale into reality! Tucked away in Dali Ocean Park at Haidong Mountain New Town, the hotel is just a 25-yuan taxi ride from Dali Station and super easy to find. The moment you step inside, the beauty hits you like a visual earthquake! The walls are adorned with marine-themed elements, bubble and wave lights casting a soft, filter-like glow, and the lobby features a shark "background wall" – even just sitting there daydreaming feels like you're in a music video (I took 800 photos, no joke!). Here's the highlight! The rooms are literally separated from the 24,000-square-meter aquarium by just a window! I stayed in a 40+ square meter first-floor king room (way more spacious than expected) with an enormous window – lying in bed, you can watch schools of fish drift by. Heard the second floor offers views of manta rays and sharks, while the third floor is all about shimmering golden trevallies! At 10 AM, divers come to feed them, and suddenly, a massive swarm of golden trevallies rushes over – my kid pressed against the window yelling, "Mom, look! The fish are kissing me!" The amenities are incredibly thoughtful: fresh air system keeps it from feeling stuffy, smart home devices let you control lights and curtains from bed (a lazy person's dream!), and there's even a kids' playground! Pirate ship-themed – my little one refused to leave and kept babbling about the "pirate ship slide" until bedtime. Oh, and don’t miss the neighboring Dali Ocean World! With 80 species of animals and 20,000 fish, the Atlantis-inspired ruins are breathtaking. There are also mermaid encounters, sea lion and dolphin shows... For just 400+ yuan per person, you can stay in this underwater wonderland. Parents, take my word for it – this isn’t just a hotel; it’s a fairy tale for kids and a healing escape for adults! 🏨 Dali Ocean Hotel

| A treasure trove of family travel with an average price of 400 per person. This is my third time in Dali. This time I am going to have a deep leisure tour. The first stop I chose is the Ocean Hotel to experience the joy of watching fish in the room~ 🌟【Value for money】 With an average of 400+ per person, you can live in a place with the same experience as the tens of thousands of underwater rooms in Atlantis. What a great value for money👍, you can spend a small amount of money to do a big thing, and send your children directly into the dreamy underwater fairy tale world. Isn’t this happiness coming? It feels like digging up a treasure, super value! 🐟【Room Introduction】 The hotel has 23 underwater rooms in total. The first floor is like a "big boss gathering" in the ocean world. Next to the coral reef, the giant grouper has an aura of 2.8 meters. The big shark lurks quietly at the bottom, as if "inspecting" in secret. From time to time, there are fat groupers and big manta rays passing by. This scene is so shocking that I am at a loss for words🐠. When my child saw it for the first time, his eyes widened so wide that he couldn’t close his mouth🤭. The second floor is the "show" for small and medium-sized manta rays. They sway their bodies, and their little looks are so cute, just like little elves in the sea🧚‍♀. Occasionally, leopard sharks swim by gracefully, and large sea turtles also slowly come to join in the fun. But here comes the point, these manta rays are so naughty that they will interact with children through the glass. My child can play with them for half a day, laughing so brightly that my mother's heart melts when she sees them🥰. The third floor is a "carnival party" for small fish. Groups of tropical yellow croakers and blue fish are swimming happily in front of the window. We happened to live in room 8388. There is a water outlet on the top of the room. There are so many small fish that it feels like they are about to "overflow" the window. The photo effect is amazing📷. You can get a lot of likes in the circle of friends with just a casual shot~ 🍱【Food】 The ocean view restaurant on the first floor of the hotel must be praised. Imagine watching various marine creatures swimming around you while tasting delicious food. It feels like having a party on the seabed~ The set meal we ate is very cost-effective. Fried vermicelli with shrimp and steamed chicken are both recommended! 📍【Transportation】 The location of the hotel is also very good, it is only a 10-minute drive from the airport, about 30 minutes to the high-speed rail station, and 50 minutes to Dali Ancient Town🚗. So whether you are just arriving in Dali to start having fun, or are planning to reminisce before leaving Dali, staying here is perfect. It is convenient and worry-free.

| A Dreamy Stay. In Dali, besides enjoying the stunning scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, staying at Dali Ocean Hotel is a unique experience! 🎉 As soon as you step into the hotel, it's like entering an ocean world. The lobby is uniquely designed, with a blue color scheme and various ocean-themed decorations. The giant whale chandelier and colorful coral ornaments are eye-catching, instantly immersing you in a marine atmosphere. 😍 The rooms are a highlight, cozy and comfortable, with most offering great views. Wake up in the morning, open the curtains, let the sunlight in, and start a beautiful day with the distant Cangshan Mountain in view. It's a super relaxing feeling. Some rooms even offer views of the hotel's own ocean view pool, where you can watch fish swimming freely, making you feel extra relaxed. 🐟 Speaking of the hotel's ocean view pool, it's definitely worth a visit. Various rare marine creatures gather here, with colorful tropical fish swimming in groups, elegant jellyfish swaying gracefully in the water, and adorable turtles leisurely paddling their limbs. It's like a lively underwater performance, where both adults and children can linger for a long time, immersed in the magical underwater world. 🧜‍♀️ The hotel's dining is also impressive, offering delicious food with authentic flavors and incorporating many ocean-themed elements.

In short, Dali Ocean Hotel is a place that perfectly combines ocean style with comfortable accommodation. Don't miss it when you visit Dali! 💕

Driving back to Yunnan from Sichuan, this time I didn’t take the old route. Thinking that my child didn’t go to school, I played all the way back. I never expected that it rained for several days as soon as I arrived in Dali. Erhai Lake is really about to become a "sea". I couldn't go out to play because it was raining too heavily. So I decided to play indoors. I watched "Atlantis" for a long time on 📕. Although we can't go to Sanya, we are close to Dali. I didn't have high expectations at first, but after arriving, I felt that the underwater family room that cost more than 2,000 yuan and stayed in a room in the underwater world was really worth it. - We stayed on the 2nd floor. I read the guide and it said that there are a lot of golden fish on the second floor. Sharks and other animals mostly stay on the first floor. But there are also turtles and sharks coming to the second floor, and I have seen a shark several times. There are many types of fish, many of which I cannot name. The children don't want to go out when they stay in the room. Two beds are just enough for a family of four, and the bedding is comfortable. It was quite late when we arrived, so we went to bed early. When checking in, the front desk gave me the Golden Storm + diving experience. The Golden Storm is when the diving staff bring golden fish to the window, and you can see lots of golden fish. At this time, the photos taken are very good and the children are very excited. After watching the show in the room, we went to the oceanarium, which is right next to the hotel. In fact, the underwater world we see from our room is also part of the aquarium. Looking out from the room, you can see the underwater corridor. The aquarium is purely for science purposes, with so many fish that it's dizzying to look at. I fed the little penguins, watched the dolphin show, and touched the little dolphins. Because it is the off-season, there are very few people and the place is completely reserved. I remember that in Chimelong, I couldn’t even find a seat to sit. In comparison, I think the experience here is so good. The main thing is that it’s not tiring to take care of children🥹. Finally, we watched the mermaid show. The whole time was about half a day. After visiting the aquarium, we also went to the cute pet park. The cute pet park is relatively small, with alpacas, cats, birds, rabbits, deer, etc. Due to time constraints, I had to rush back to Kunming, so I didn't visit the other two museums. I don't know if it's because of the off-season. Now when you check in to the hotel, you will get free tickets to the four museums🎫. Oceanarium + cute pet park + ice and snow world + trendy play experience. The ticket for the aquarium alone is more than 100 yuan. So I think it’s really worthwhile to stay in a hotel and have so much fun. And mainly the kids love it, and my mother is very happy too.

They had a blast and stayed in the long-desired underwater room. ❤️ For just over 1000 yuan, we stayed in an underwater room that would normally cost tens of thousands at Atlantis, which was an incredible deal. 👀 After looking at many guides and recommendations for room types and researching for a long time, the real feeling after staying is that the underwater rooms all look at the same 'world', but the fish are at different water levels. Some plump grouper and large batfish (can't tell the difference between batfish and rays, so just call them batfish) and leopard sharks tend to stay at the lowest level. Sand tiger sharks, small batfish, and large numbers of golden fish are in the middle layer doing hit-and-run. The big sea turtles are mostly on the upper layer, so the fish you see will be a bit different depending on the level you're on. If you're talking about a good location, it's the middle room number: 8106 on the first level to see big groupers + leopard sharks, big batfish... 8220 on the second level facing the underwater tunnel + sand tiger sharks + small batfish, golden fish group. 8320/8318 on the third level has better lighting and a wider view, with big sea turtles, hit-and-run sand tiger sharks, and various fish groups. (There are many fish in the underwater world, and actually, each level has other fish that I just can't name) 🏨 The hotel room is 45 square meters, and you can see the dreamy underwater world just by opening the curtains in the room! ⚠️ Key point: The fish are more active in the morning! ✔️ The hotel and the aquarium are 'independent' of each other. Coming out of the hotel, there is also a shark tank, dolphin pool, Penguin Island, deep-sea pavilion, and underwater tunnel that the kids love in the nearby aquarium. 🍽️ There is also a restaurant with an ocean view on the first floor of the hotel, where the steam pot chicken, roasted squab, blanched water spinach, and braised fish are all delicious. 📍 Location: Dali Ocean Hotel 🚗 10 minutes drive from Dali Airport 🚗 50 minutes drive from Dali Ancient Town 🚗 32 minutes from Dali Railway Station
