Travel Tips

If you’re visiting Yunlin in the summer, book your room early to secure access to the hotel’s seasonal outdoor pool, and note that extra towels and bed linens incur a small extra fee, so pack a small beach towel if you plan to use the pool daily. The hotel is just a 5-minute drive from the Douliu Train Station, and the free on-site parking makes it easy to take day trips around Yunlin and neighboring Chiayi. If you plan to explore rural Yunlin’s night markets, ask the front desk for their local recommendations—many hidden food gems are only known to locals, and the team is happy to share. Finally, breakfast is not included in all room rates, so confirm your booking details before arrival if you want to start your day with the hotel’s well-regarded morning spread.
