Read moreWe stayed in Silks Palace Toroko last year in December and it was such a beautiful, relaxing and luxury end to our two week trip in Taiwan. The staff were so friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay memorable. Robin, the Concierge helped us organise a private taxi from Hulien all the way to the hotel and our taxi driver gave us a tour on the way into Toroko. She was so friendly and started our trip into Toroko on the best note.|| We stayed at Silks for one night and had the most amazing spa experience and massage with Neeko. The food at Dinner that night was absolutely beautiful in taste and design. The beds were so comfortable and rooms absolute luxury.|| We spent the next night elsewhere and had an awful experience so we booked in at Silks again for our last night in Toroko. Robin the Concierge who we had been liasing with the whole trip and who had already gone above and beyond for us, organised a private taxi free of charge to come and pick us up from the other hotel drop us off to catch up with another awesome tour the hotel organised through the gorge led by Vita and dropped our bags at the hotel. The tour with Vita was fabulous, she was so friendly and went out of her way to make it a fun experience take us back to our the hotel.||Our last night in the hotel we had another amazing massage then dinner. our holiday was topped off with an upgraded room courtesy of Robin which included exclusive access to their executive room.|||Thank you to Silks at Taroko for making our stay so special - we will always remember our stay. Special thank you to Robin,...
