This is my first time staying at the Sheraton in Penghu. I feel very satisfied. The bed is great, the air conditioner is quiet and the sound insulation effect is good. It is worth it. The breakfast has many kinds of delicious food. The transportation is convenient and there is airport shuttle.

It is the only five-star hotel in Penghu. It is very convenient to use klook to redeem directly. With credit card discounts, it is more cost-effective than on-site. I will buy again next time.

Save 10% with e-vouchers, and save another 10% with klook’s anniversary event. The focus is on the delicious food😋, and a dedicated barbeque. We just need to eat, drink and chat happily.

Electronic coupons are paired with klook activities, dedicated barbecue, and great ingredients. It is really better than all-you-can-eat barbecue

The store is very considerate and provides airport pick-up service. The car dealership is also very close to the airport. It is very convenient and the car is in good condition. I will rent a car from the store again next time I come to Penghu.

The hotel has a car to pick you up from the airport, which is completely free. The hotel's front desk staff are friendly, and the rooms and bathrooms are spacious and quiet. It is a good choice for accommodation in Penghu.

For those who are visiting Penghu for the first time, you must buy a museum passport. Not only can you get a clear introduction from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, but it also has a stamped collection. Although it is a static display, it is very meaningful for children to experience local culture. I only I can say that I am very glad to have seen this product!
