The dining experience at The Great Roots was a good surprise! The restaurant offers a variety of dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients, perfectly blending traditional flavors with modern techniques. I enjoyed every meal, especially the BBQ, which was well-prepared and flavorful. It truly felt like a culinary journey through the forest's abundance.

Fun for Kids

As a parent, I was thrilled with the amenities provided for kids. The entertainment center was a major hit with my children, filled with arcade games and activities that kept them engaged. The nearby trails were also a great way for us to spend time outside, allowing the kids to explore nature safely. It made for a perfect family getaway!

5.0/10

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. While the room was spacious and comfortable enough for two, the overall condition felt like a cheap motel which was frustrating given the price. The service left much to be desired, with long waits and poor communication. The location was peaceful, surrounded by nature, but a bit isolated. Dining was mediocre at best, with the food lacking quality. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway.

Overall, my stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The facility itself is lovely with spacious rooms that have a comfortable bed perfect for a family. There are excellent amenities to enjoy, especially the spa and hiking trails. However, the service left much to be desired, especially during check-in and the dining experience could definitely use improvements in both quality and variety.

The resort is located a bit far from downtown Taipei, requiring some adventurous public transportation to reach it. There's limited access to restaurants and town amenities, so it's very much a retreat atmosphere.

I stayed at this hotel for a weekend with friends, and while there were moments of enjoyment, overall it fell short of expectations. The check-in process was confusing and frustrating, and the room conditions did not match the price point. We had a good time in the hot springs and hiking trails, but the dining experience was not impressive. I wouldn't consider this a good value for money, especially given the issues we encountered.
