Travel Tips

Book your stay during Taiwan’s dry season (October to April) for the best beach weather, and reserve the resort’s paid water park access and guided walking tours in advance during peak holiday periods. If you’re traveling with kids, take advantage of the free children’s play areas and children’s club to sneak in some quiet time. The resort’s complimentary airport shuttle from Kaohsiung International Airport removes the hassle of renting a car, but if you do drive, free parking is always available without a reservation. Don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen for day trips to nearby beaches, and take advantage of the resort’s barbecue facilities for a fun, casual evening meal under the stars.
