We rush here after our Quad Biking activities in Kenting and arrived at 7plus The hotspring itself was not hard to find as it was a prominant building. The exterior of the building look exctly like the website, very jap style , very jap feel.||The lady at the reception checked us in was not very friendly thou. We later had an incident with her which I will elaborate further. ||Unfortunately there were no more 1st storey rooms left when I tried to book. Hence we could only take the 2nd level rooms and once again had to lug n carry our luggage all the way the steep steep stairs. ||||Location: Good location as just walking out was the main street. As we havent had dinner, we just picked any 1 restaurant along the main street to have a simple dinner before proceeding for a night hotspring soak. There was also a 7eleven along the main street just right outside this hotspring, so it was really very convenient to get anything . ||||Room: our was a 3pax room (1 double n 1 single). the single bed was separated by a bedside table which we shifted away to join both beds together. Alas, upon shifting the beds , we saw how dirty the floor was. I actually took time to "mop" the floor with tissue papers as I didnt want my children to be walking around on dirty floor. ||||Hotsprings: note that swimming caps are a must. Previously at Beitou Taipei hotsprings, disposable caps were always provided. It was an overlook on our part for not preparing and hence had to fork our extra $$ to purchase swimming caps from the reception. Even towels were not provided & we had to use our own bath towels....In comparison the hotspring at Beitou provided us towels when we were there. ||That aside, there was 6 outdoor hotspring pools! we had a nice time soaking and trying out the different hotspring pools. The next morning after breakfast , we had another round of hotspring before checking out. ||||Breakfast： the usual taiwan breakfast. the staffs at the restaurant for breakfast were much more nicer. ||||P/s: the incident we had with the reception lady ; the stairs were very very steep. 1 of my child while walking down the stairs tripped and rolled down the stairs! However there was no help by the lady at all. She just continue to sit there doing her own things. That was an unhappy brush...
