The tour coach was very kind and attentive, taking special care of the children and the elderly. The rafting activity was a lot of fun, and the kids all had a great time. I was particularly surprised by the very spacious showers with plenty of hot water after the tour, and even more so by the availability of hair dryers. The owner was also very kind to give us a ride to a nearby fishing port for dinner.

Water level was quite high the day we went so it was pretty fun but also very tiring as we had to fight the strong water flow when moving to the sides of the river (with or without our tubes) to wait for other members of the group. Location was quite remote so would need a long drive / ride to get there from Luodong city. However, the views made up for it and the instructors really looked out for safety. Photos could be better (better still if they could film some videos too) and sunblock + insect repellant are a must! Overall a fun and memorable experience.

Safety: The instructors were very diligent in ensuring safety. However, the stream near the waterfall was quite rapid, and I almost got swept away 😿. I hope the instructors can pay more attention to this in the future and keep people closer to the shore. Experience: Overall, it was super fun! We got to experience the lazy river, cliff jumping, and see the waterfall. Plus, we got photos, which made it worth the price 😻. The instructors were also very helpful in pointing out where to find the photos 👍🏻. Facilities: The bathrooms were large, had hot water and hair dryers, and there were enough of them, so we didn't have to wait too long 🫶🏻. Instructors: Thank you for your attention to detail and dedication. You made our vacation very enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work! Also, thank you for waiting and calling to remind us that the location was in Nan'ao, we almost went to the wrong place 🫠🫠.

The thoughtful provision of welcome snacks and late-night treats is absolutely fantastic. The puzzle-solving game is great fun, especially for families with children. Cleanliness: Very clean. Restaurant staff: Extremely friendly. The private hot spring in the room is large, very clean, and very comfortable to soak in. After the bath, a cup of hot Pu-erh tea is wonderful.

This was my first time staying here, and it was a wonderful experience. The location is excellent, and the rooms/outdoor bath/swimming pool have everything you could need. I didn't have time to enjoy the spa this time, so I'll save it for my next stay. I'd also like to try the food next time. I left my luggage after checking out and went to challenge the Marian Pilgrimage Trail (Matcha Mountain).

Hotel Royal Chiaohsi The rooms are comfortable with large, very comfortable beds. The soundproofing is quite good. The hot spring facilities are plentiful. The night view of the Lanyang Plain at night is truly beautiful. The dinner buffet has many items and is very delicious. The pan-fried prawns and grilled oysters are great. What impressed me the most was the service staff. Everyone was very enthusiastic and friendly. They were also very patient and proactively caring towards the children.

The breakfast was abundant and delicious, and there were also freshly made spring rolls and ice cream. The recreational facilities were complete, and the hotel was clean. The only downside was that the view was blocked by buildings. The location is convenient, next to the bus terminal. I would visit again.

The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The hotel rooftop features a trendy photo-op wall and a kids' play area. The outdoor decor is very inviting. There's also a library on the first floor where guests can relax or read. The late-night snack is unique, mainly desserts. There are many options for breakfast, and it's delicious. Plus, you can enjoy breakfast until 1:30 PM after checking out, which is fantastic! Overall, the experience from check-in was excellent!

The rooms are spacious with expansive views, featuring a private outdoor balcony with lounge chairs, a large hot spring pool, and a smaller cold spring pool. There are welcome snacks on the room's table, and kumquat juice and fruit tea are available in the lobby. On the R floor, you'll find an ocean-view outdoor pool and a mountain-view study. Next to the elevator on the R floor, there's a staircase leading to the top-floor book lounge, offering even wider ocean views. It opens at 5 AM, so early risers can witness the shimmering ocean at sunrise. The breakfast selection is satisfactory, in my opinion, with Yilan-style dishes like fish ball noodles and smoked duck. Unfortunately, I didn't see any gaozha (宜蘭特色小吃). Outdoors, there's the Baimi Riverside Trail, perfect for a morning or evening walk to exercise. The Suao Cold Spring Park is also nearby for a visit.
