It has everything a tired traveler will need, and more. Facilities include 2 swimming pools (indoor and rooftop), a spa and sauna, an arcade in the basement, 2 restaurants, 2 mini theaters (yes, indoor and outdoors), the list goes on. The rooms are luxurious. Guests have a choice of Western styled and Japanese styled rooms. The deluxe double room comes with a clear glass window between the bathroom and the room… perfect for couples or for someone who wants to have a soak and yet catch the latest drama on telly. We made reservations for a double and a twin sharing deluxe room and were suitably impressed. The rooms came with daily sumptuous Continental buffet. The total costs for a 2-night stay was S$200 (US$140) per person. Our room came with a view of the outdoor theater and courtyard.

There are various activities available in the hotel for those not interested in sightseeing or hiking. From learning local handicrafts to chilling out at the pool, guests will definitely not be bored. Three times a week, there are even dance performances by local students to promote aboriginal culture held at the outdoor theater if the weather is fine, indoors if otherwise.

For keen hikers, there are several simple trails nearby. Guests can purchase the "Taroko Pass" at the travel service counter located opposite the reception. This is essentially a hop on and off service. For NT350 per person, the pass offers unlimited stops at major trail sites in Taroko for the duration of stay.

Except for breakfasts, we took our meals at the restaurants across the hotel. They offer home cooked local meals at more affordable prices. Recommended dishes are the stir-fried wild boar and wild vegetables.

Getting there :
Call at least 3 days in advance to reserve the hotel pick-up service from the train station or airport. There is a fee of NT200 per person one way. It is about 1-hour scenic drive from Hualien train station to the hotel.
