A clearer way
to choose a stay.
Resorts Journal is one bilingual editorial guide. The English and Simplified Chinese editions cover the same destinations and properties, written for each audience’s questions.
Useful judgments need visible sources.
Each destination guide asks where to stay and why an area may suit one trip better than another. Each hotel guide asks who a property suits, what is different about its location or accommodation, and what a traveller should verify before booking.
- We prefer official tourism bodies and property sources for checkable details, and link to them in the guide.
- We separate sourced facts from our interpretation. We do not claim first-hand stays we did not make.
- This site is operated by the Arrivau team.
- We do not publish invented prices, scores, awards or guaranteed benefits. Room inventory and included experiences must be checked for the exact dates and reservation.
- A draft or a planned URL is never evidence that a guide is published.
Travel conditions change. Before paying, use the hotel’s current booking terms and official travel information. Editorial updates should retain the date and source of each material change.
Photographs and licences
Card photographs are editorial illustrations. A hotel card depicts the named property only when explicitly marked “Property pictured”; otherwise it shows the surrounding destination. Images have been resized and cropped for display.
