Fantastic 5.0
I purchased a package deal for the public bath and dinner. The public bath was just okay, a bit old, but the dinner was highly recommended. Each dish was delicious. I bought the package on the spot, thinking it would be full and there wouldn't be any space, but surprisingly, we were the only two people in the restaurant, like we had the whole place to ourselves! It was such a great deal. I've never experienced having a restaurant all to myself before, highly recommended.

The hotel is very posh and the facilities are relatively new compared to the others. love the serenity of the public bath, with options ranging from 24 deg to 44 deg. they even have a monthly special. They also have a salt scrub room on top of the usual sauna. I feel like going for the public bath offers better value than going for thematic rooms as such but of course individual preference matters. The condition of the individual bathrooms can be improved.

This was my first time visiting Wulai and experiencing the Pause Landis Resort. You can reserve a shuttle to take you directly to your destination. The facilities are complete with bathrobes, towels, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, lotion 🧴, and a hairdryer. They also provide water and a loofah body brush made from natural materials ❤️. The privacy isn't great—you can see people if you stand up—but you can enjoy the phytoncides in the forest. The staff will fill the hot spring water ♨️ for you, which is a very thoughtful gesture. The light meal was also delicious, and the hot tea was not bitter and was very soothing. My body felt very warm. It was a great experience, thank you 😊

Using the public bath. Towels are provided. There's body wash and shampoo available, but since I couldn't distinguish them in Chinese characters, I just used whichever. Visited while driving back from Hualien to Taipei in a rental car. You can bring your phone inside and take pictures of the scenery. Just think of it as an old but clean bathhouse.

I've visited Wulai Breeze Morning several times. The environment is clean and tidy, the privacy is sufficient, the air circulates well when soaking in the hot spring, and the beautiful mountain scenery is right in front of you. It really allows a tired body to relax. It is currently my top choice for hot spring accommodations in Wulai, and I will continue to purchase through KLOOK.

It's located right after you get off the bus. There's also a Seven-Eleven near the bus stop, so you can buy anything you forgot. You can borrow bath towels and towels. If you don't have any preference for brands, there are shampoo, conditioner, and body soap available. To use the bathtub, you must wear the provided shower cap. You can enter naked without a swimsuit. There is no waiting time for the large public bath.

I've visited several times, and the Beihai Style Hot Spring Spa features a semi-open-air, dry-wet separation design. The air circulates well while soaking, so it's not stuffy. The hot spring water is a rare seabed hot spring and is also rich in iron, making it incredibly comfortable to soak in.

Great 4.0
A double room with hot spring access for less than $400! Having a toilet in the room is so considerate for older people. Shampoo, body wash, and large towels are provided, so you can easily enjoy the hot spring even if you come unprepared. I will definitely visit again.
