Hotels near Houtanjing Recreation Area, Nantou

I visited in May 2024. I am Japanese. There were no staff members who could speak Japanese, but they guided me carefully in English and Chinese. Is this a recently completed hotel? The hotel is very clean and stylish. I feel that they have paid attention to every detail of the interior. In addition, the hotel offers a wide range of services, such as welcome drinks and food at check-in, electric bicycle rentals, and free beer at night, which made my stay at the hotel comfortable. I would like to stay here again when I come to Sun Moon Lake. Location: You cannot see Sun Moon Lake from the hotel, but the location is good because the bus stop connecting Sun Moon Lake and Taichung Station is nearby. Room: Smart home technology is progressing, and you can easily adjust the lights and play music. The downside is that the wall separating the room and the toilet is glass, and it is not a closed room, so it is a little awkward if you are with friends... Breakfast: It is not all-you-can-eat, but there are many items and they were all delicious.

The surrounding environment is really great! Like in the forest, I booked a promotional room with two beds. I was worried that the single bed was too small, but it turned out to be two large beds. There is also a small wooden bathtub in the room, which is very comfortable. There are green trees and air outside the hotel. It's very fresh and great. Although the facilities inside are simple, they have everything you need. Except for the fact that there are no disposable daily necessities according to the regulations, the space is very large. The room on the third floor is really comfortable with the morning sunlight and fresh air! It also comes with breakfast for two guests, which is simple but clean and tidy, which is great!

My stay at the hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The amenities were top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable stay.

Stayed in the Tree House Villa for two nights. It was very clean, comfortable and well decorated. The front desk service is enthusiastic, and the breakfast and dinner are also delicious and of a high standard. The slide is very fast, and the two children are very satisfied. Even the 40-year-old boy finds it very fun. The only thing is that it requires a hard landing when it reaches the ground. It is recommended that the bottom section should be changed into a buffer zone. The bathroom is very large, and the double massage room faces the uninhabited hillside along the pool window. You understand.

Clean and nice room. Amazing and we love the view 🪟😍 . The toilet is very good and clean. Reception and staff are very friendly and kind. Walking distance to nearby food, shop and amenities. Breakfast by the hotel is good too.

This hotel offers a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, located as close can be to the tranquil lake with stunning views. The spacious rooms with, delicious food (breakfast buffet) at the on-site restaurant, and friendly, attentive staff make for an exceptional stay. Guests can enjoy various activities like boat trip, biking, and water activities at their own expense. Whether for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat, this hotel provides a memorable and rejuvenating experience. Highly recommended!

Great location as the hotel is right in the center of the Ita Thao town where you can easily walk to the lake, pier, hiking/bike trail, and foodie places. Hotel staff are very friendly and willing to help every step if asked. The high floor suite is sizable with fairly large jacuzzi tub and shower room. A private balcony provides a partial view to the lake. Free designated parking garage is a plus in a crowded town. The lake view however is partially blocked by some apartments in front but the hotel is still close to the water front. The hotel building, incl room, furnitures and decorations, does show some age and is about right to have its current star rating and price. We definitely enjoyed the stay.

I am 1/25 staying in the double room on 606 and smelled a very strong smell of smoke as soon as I entered it. It was like the smell of smoke in KTV. Now, please ask the housekeeping staff to help deal with it. Because I have a one-year-old baby, I am very concerned about this problem. The housekeeping said that they have used the ozone machine. And said that they would take the ozone machine again, but the ozone machine could not be in it. I would like to ask us the time period we spent money to stay in, but people can't be in it. Then the baby wants to sleep at this time, so we don't know where to take the baby to sleep and then ask the room after an hour. The condition of the room. A male housekeeping attitude was very bad. He said, ”I took the ozone machine away. The window was opened for ventilation first. You wait for half an hour before going in and seeing if there is any smell.” It really makes people feel very bad. We don't think it's the uncle who spends money, but just wants to There is a good sleeping environment and we are very polite to trouble housekeeping because we know that it is very hard to work during the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect it to be such a handling attitude. It is very disappointing.

The good thing is that the hotel is strategically located right by the lake on the edge of the village. There is a floating dock with a location on it, where you can enjoy the view while drinking. It is a five-minute walk from the shops, restaurants and other living facilities in Yuchi Township. The hotel looks very beautiful, made of wood, the walls and ceilings of the room are also made of wood, there is a very warm and attractive feeling. Free wireless Internet is available. On the poor side, our room was obviously dirty. Several obvious spots on the beige carpet had a few large, uncomfortable-looking stains. There was a used wet towel on the floor of the shower room, which indicated that the cleanliness of the room and the level of preparation of the room were not high. We weren’t surprised to be staying in room 303 because we stayed for one night and didn’t expect the best room they could give us. The good side of the room is that the lake view is very beautiful (not all rooms can see the lake view), the bad room is that the room is just next to the lobby, so it is very noisy. The front desk kept music and heard it clearly in the room (I think there was a loudspeaker on one wall in the room). After a few hours I told the front desk staff if they would mind turning the volume down a little bit, and they agreed. We could hear it though the business wasn't that loud. Another group gathered in the lobby before setting off, and the noise of their talking and laughing was loud in the room. So if you are staying at this hotel, I suggest you want a room a little further from the front desk. There is an indoor pool downstairs which is great if the water is warm. The water in the same jacuzzi is also very cold. This time of year this place is quite cold, especially at night, so it would be great if you could swim or soak in warm water. We didn't see a person swimming when we lived there. Now talk about breakfast: breakfast should have been from 7 to 9:30. We arrived at the restaurant at 9 o'clock and saw a smileless lady. She took our breakfast coupon and didn't say a word, and then we were the air. There was another employee at that time. A young male waiter. There were a lot of empty tables, but the tableware was not set. After a while we found that we had to do it ourselves, we looked around and found some tableware mats and knives and forks and arranged the table ourselves. Then we went to get something to eat. Although they are still half an hour away from their service, it is obvious that they will not add anything more, and now how much is how much. Because of this, we have to eat several times, like fresh fruit, juice and scrambled eggs. I walked towards the two employees, who were at a table in the corner, far from the guests, and I asked if they would add more to their meal. The lady was still indifferent, and the male waiter looked blank. I motioned for him to come with me, led him to the food table, showed him the juice maker and scrambled egg plates were empty. He nodded, then disappeared into the kitchen, and after a while he brought a glass of juice over, which I drank with my wife. Five minutes later he brought us an egg for two of us to eat. At 9:25, the lady frowned as we left. The male waiter was invisible. When you are looking forward to the general breakfast experience at a Taiwanese hotel - friendly welcome, lead you to the table, ask if you want coffee, thoughtful service, thank you when you leave, etc. - then Sun Moon Lake Lushan Forest International Hall is really funny compared to that. My wife and I have been constantly feeling the friendship and enthusiasm of the Taiwanese people during our two-week trip to Taiwan, and we are impressed and happy with this, so we will not be less impressed by Taiwan because of this unpleasant experience. However, if you want to feel the hospitality of Taiwan, I suggest you try other hotels. (Fortunately, we didn't have dinner in the hotel restaurant before, otherwise we would be disappointed twice. We went to the Regal Resort B&B 50 yards away and had a very interesting and enjoyable dinner in a garden lit by candles. The place also has guest rooms, full of artwork and tourist souvenirs. This one might also be a good choice in the area.)

The boss is enthusiastic to help take pictures. The butler is very kind and caring. The rooms in the homestay are clean and comfortable, with good pastoral views, boating, fishing, and a group of cute ducks. It is a good place to get close to nature and relax.
