PROS:
Okay I'm gonna cut right to the chase: This is the sort of private-villa, secluded-hotel that is like a super high-end motel for Taiwanese politicians/businessmen/etc. to take a woman for the night (or just the daytime :P)....A woman that is NOT his wife/gf probably lol...Or at least one of many! Captain Obvious summary: If you want to have an affair in Taichung area, this is the place to do it!
The set-up is one of the most unique places I've ever stayed at. First of all, it's super opulently decorated, like some reviews said, with interiors like 18th century or Baroque style (or something like that, I'm bad at Art History/Architecture). Even the most basic room, the Butterfly Room, which I got, had tons of space, a large bathroom with a hot tub (no bubble mixture included, small oversight), & lots of little snacks/coffee/water/etc...and even a small zen pool rock garden/private stone wall waterfall!). Huge bed, lots of space...Totally a place to take a lady/dude to wine, dine, & you-know-what her/him. There is total & utter privacy, they give you the key/take it back each time you exit/enter, the car/taxi drives RIGHT into your private garage that you close immediately, so nobody knows you are there OR who you came with. Privately delivered breakfast in am.
CONS:
Inconveniently located on outskirts of Taichung, many cab drivers had trouble finding it. My friends rooms smelled of stale smoke & had bad WiFi; mine was fine! Weird check-in hours (>6pm or >9 pm)
