The camping car is surprisingly spacious, with convenient luggage storage under the beds. The bed and pillows are comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep. The toilet comes with a heater, a rare and thoughtful feature that adds extra comfort. The dining area is well-designed with a curtain that blocks out the wind, making outdoor dining much easier.
The tea provided is nice, but the coffee could be improved with a better brand. The kettle for boiling water isn’t great, as it tends to drip or spill when pouring, which is frustrating with hot water.
The breakfast experience was disappointing. The ordering process was a mess—I initially ordered 5 items (by writing them on a piece of paper and handing it to the staff), but only 4 items arrived, and one was incorrect. After finishing those, I ordered 5 more items, but only 2 arrived. When I checked with the staff, they didn’t refer back to the order paper but asked me to repeat my order. It wasn’t that I couldn’t tell them, but it was frustrating. To make things worse, they kept saying, “All is here. Thanks.” without actually checking. The xiao long bao was one of the worst I’ve had—the skin was hard and cold, almost as if it hadn’t been steamed. The Taiwan burger was just plain bread with no meat or vegetables. On the bright side, the egg was nice, but the coffee was bad.
The amenities could use some improvements. Adding more places to hang clothes and providing extra hangers would be helpful, as there are plenty of suitable spots for these.
The activities were underwhelming. The reading corner is very small, with a limited and unimpressive book collection. The indoor playground only has 3 games, and the outdoor playground is similarly limited. The car racing activity was enjoyable but short, lasting just 3 minutes. Other small activities scattered around the camp area only provide 1-2 minutes of entertainment each. There’s not much to keep you occupied for long.
The fish pond is quite pretty, but the fish food costs 10 TWD for a tiny portion, which feels overpriced.
A few minor issues also impacted the experience. For example, it took 30 minutes for staff to address a broken gas stove, which was annoying even if it was a one-off incident. The included 9 PM supper consists of instant noodles; adding complimentary coffee or tea would improve this. That said, the staff do prepare the noodles with eggs, meatballs, and vegetables, which is a nice touch.
On a positive note, the setting is pretty and cozy, making it a pleasant getaway for families. The staff are friendly and helpful, which enhances the experience. The comfort of the camping car and thoughtful touches like the toilet heater and wind-blocking curtain are appreciated.
However, the repetitive meal options (dinner, afternoon tea, and breakfast featuring the same steamboat) make staying for more than two nights dull. The experience is also quite expensive considering the limitations.
Overall, while the stay has its positives, the various issues with breakfast, amenities, and activities detract from the experience. There’s potential here, but improvements are needed to make it truly...
