景大渡假莊園 — Hotel in Tainan

I wanted to test the famous mud springs. This hotel reportedly has one of the best spas. Tips: I decided to stay overnight in the hotel (2 spa entry tickets with a double room + bfast for $2800) instead of using a day ticket to the spa (400$). The village is far from the city, so staying overnight may cost slightly more than a cheap city hotel, but you're not in a rush and looking for buses etc. Each spa ticket is basically 2x tickets (1 for the normal spa, and 1 for the naked single-sex spa), so if there are 2 of you, you could go to the naked spa one day and the main spa the next. The spa has about 15 different hot spring pools, of different temperatures + ingredients, some clear and some "mud". There's also mud facials and fish-cleaning for your feet. The electric pools send electric shocks through your body too. There's a swimming pool. They speak English (basic but enough). You need a swimming hat and a towel. I took mine but the spa front desk also offered them to borrow. Plan on spending 3 hours. I'm not a spa lover, but even i found myself taking long. I went in May and the weather is not at all hot at that height. Most Taiwanese take their instant noodles in, so that they can eat inside and stay all day. The hotel is quite beautiful, made from wood (on the face of it). It's got lovely seating areas and they put nice fairy lights everywhere at night. The hotel room is comparatively expensive for Taiwan at $2800 for 3* (minus the 2x spa tickets of $400 each), but the cheapest "no window" room (it has 2 windows, but no view) is big and has 2 large concrete baths in (1 for hot mud water + 1 for cold water to dip in and out). Therefore, given that it is a beautiful location too, I do think it's very reasonable. The breakfast is mostly chinese but there's some western bits. It's standard for 3* but the location of the eating area has beautiful views of the jungle. It's a 15 minute nice walk to lots of restaurants and a...

This is a unique place you need to visit in Taiwan. There are only three hot springs like these in the world! And the facilities in this hotel are the perfect environment for enjoying them.||||We stayed in a “Tuscany quadruple room”, which was lovely. Huge room with all the amenities you would expect: sitting area, complimentary water, tea and coffee, electric kettle, toiletries, slippers, AC, TV, closet space. The private patio on the front of the room was the best part: two private tubs, one with muddy hot spring water, and the other with cold water! And also and outdoor shower, and sitting space for relaxing.||||The spa was beyond our expectations: huge swimming pool where you can go with kids, hydrotherapy room with a lot of high pressure water amenities to try, steam room, sauna, and of course, so many hot springs tubs to choose from! There are muddy and clear water hot and cold spring at many different temperatures, some of them also have some beauty herbs inside. There is also a relaxing area to use different machines to help you relax and improve your blood circulation, and many facial masks with natural products to choose from! My skin was looking better than ever! They also have onsen japanese style where you can go naked to the hot springs (divided by sex).||||There’s also an area to have some light meals and relax. It’s all surrounded by nature so relaxing here is very easy.||||As you are in a very quiet place, they include dinner and breakfast so you don’t have to go out. Both meals are super abundant and very yummy! ||||Also, after you check out, you can continue to use the spa if you enter there before 11am. In the spa there’re lockers and showers, so I highly recommend you check out after breakfast and go in time to the spa to make the most out of your visit.||||The staff was also super nice and helped us arrange our transportation to our next destination.||||We’d love to come back here ...
