Nantou Getaway: Luxurious Double Room w/ Private Bath!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the Nantou Getaway: Luxurious Double Room w/ Private Bath! – and I'm not just talking about a gentle toe-dip. This is the full-body immersion, the kind that leaves you smelling vaguely of chlorine and unadulterated vacation bliss. Or, you know, at least some kind of bliss. Because let's be real, perfection is boring, and this review? This is gonna be gloriously imperfect.
Let's start with the accessibility, shall we? Honestly, I've been burned before. You see "wheelchair accessible" and you picture ramps carved out of solid marble by Zeus himself. Then you arrive and it's a rickety wooden plank held together with duct tape and hope. I'm not going to promise miracles, but Nantou Getaway does a pretty decent job when it comes to wheelchair accessibility. I saw elevators (thank god!), and decent ramps around. And the front desk staff were actually helpful, not just staring blankly. That's a win in my book.
On-site accessible restaurants/lounges? (takes a deep breath) Okay, I didn't personally wheel around the entire property, but everything seemed pretty navigable. The restaurant appeared accessible, and there were no obvious bottlenecks for wheelchairs, which is a major plus.
Now, about the Internet! Ah, the modern-day curse and blessing. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – a MUST in this day and age, and this place delivers. The connection? Mostly stable. I managed to upload a few Instagram stories of my breakfast (more on that later…). Just don't expect lightning-fast speeds if you’re planning on streaming 4K movies in the middle of the night. It’s good, but not mind-blowing.
Okay, things to do, let's see. Ways to relax? Oh, buddy, where do I begin? This place is a relaxation MACHINE, if I’ve ever seen one.
SPA! The spa. Oh my god, the spa. I almost didn't leave the damn place. The Spa/Sauna were a great combo, but the most important for me was the Massage. I will just say I got a massage, I got a body scrub & body wrap. I booked myself in for the works. The spa menu was huge. My masseuse, bless her heart, was a tiny woman with hands of steel. Like, she ironed out knots I didn't even know I had. I went in feeling like a crumpled piece of paper and crawled out feeling like something smooth and beautifully folded. It was seriously transformative. This is the true gold!
Now this place has a Swimming pool and Pool with a view. And let’s be completely honest, sitting there, with a cocktail in hand after my glorious massage, overlooking… well, I'm not entirely sure what I was overlooking, but it was green and peaceful and it was exactly what I needed.
The Gym/fitness was a no-go for me. But it was there, clean and well-equipped, so it exists. I opted out.
Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, this is where Nantou Getaway REALLY shines in the post-pandemic world. They've got all the buzzwords: Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere, professional-grade sanitizing services… it’s all there. I felt safe, which is a massive weight off your shoulders when you're trying to relax. They're taking things seriously with the room sanitization option. The staff are trained in safety protocol. Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? Check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Abso-freakin-lutely. The only thing missing was a hazmat suit. Which, frankly, I wouldn’t have been mad about.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Oh boy, the food. Let's talk Breakfast [buffet]. And Asian breakfast. And Western breakfast. And all breakfasts in between. It was a breakfast extravaganza. Okay, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. There was a buffet International cuisine in restaurant. Seriously, so much food. So much variety. I may have eaten my weight in pastries. The coffee shop. The poolside bar. The snack bar. I mean, you can get lost in the food options.
Here’s a minor gripe: the coffee was a little weak. Now, I’m a coffee snob, I admit it, but come on. However, the other stuff, the stuff you’re supposed to eat? Top-notch.
Services and Conveniences: 24-hour room service gets a HUGE thumbs up. I may or may not have ordered a pizza at 3 AM. Don't judge me, I was on vacation! They have daily housekeeping (yay!), a concierge (super helpful), and a convenience store (for those late-night chocolate cravings). Laundry service? Check! Cash withdrawal? check. Basically anything you need to make your life easier.
For the kids: I saw some kids facilities around, but didn’t pay too much attention since I, you know, am not a kid. I’d say it’s fairly family/child friendly.
Available in all rooms: The actual Luxurious Double Room w/ Private Bath! was… well, luxurious. The Air conditioning worked a treat (essential, trust me). The Bed was massive and comfy. I used the coffee/tea maker A LOT. The Free bottled water was also very welcome. They provide robes, Slippers, and all the little things that make a hotel stay, well, luxurious. The Wi-Fi [free] was great in the room. There was a private bathroom. You can even watch on-demand movies. Honestly, the room was a sanctuary. I spent an embarrassing amount of time in it.
Everything. Just. Worked.
Getting around: We got here via Airport transfer. Parking is free, which is always a bonus. Taxi service is also available.

So, you're tired, you're stressed, and you’re craving a getaway that’s actually getaway-ish. You deserve it. You deserve that massage. You deserve to stuff yourself with pastries. You deserve to float in a pool with a view.

Okay, buckle up, Buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst into my potential trip to Nantou, Taiwan, staying at the oh-so-poetically-named "Smart Stay Zhilu Nantou Double Room with Private Bathroom." Forget the perfectly curated Instagram feed; we’re going full “real life” here, warts and all. I’m not even sure I want this trip to be perfect… because perfection is boring.
Pre-Trip Ramblings (The Anxiety Phase):
- The Booking Blitz: Okay, so that was a nightmare. Trying to decipher Taiwanese booking websites with my rusty Chinese (and even rustier memory) was a comedy of errors. I'm pretty sure I accidentally booked a massage for a monkey at one point. Pray the accommodation is real, and the reviews weren't written by bots.
- Luggage Woes: What to pack? What not to pack? This is my major travel anxiety. I’m already envisioning the airport bathroom floor as my fashion show runway, trying to squeeze everything into that single carry-on I promised myself I'd use. I'm doomed already.
- The Taiwanese Food Fantasies: Oh, the food! I’m already dreaming of night market chaos: stinky tofu (maybe?), bubble tea explosions, and mountains of delicious dumplings. I have a feeling I'm going to return home a size or two larger. And I'm not even mad about it.
My "Tentative" Nantou Itinerary (Because Plans are Merely Suggestions):
Day 1: Arrival and Lakeside Bliss (Fingers Crossed I Arrive!)
- Morning (…or Whenever My Flight Lands): Touchdown in Taipei (assuming I make the flight!). Airport chaos (love it, hate it). Finding my way to the high-speed rail… hopefully without accidentally ending up in a goat pen.
- Afternoon: Train to Nantou. The windows are where it's at. It's all about seeing the landscape. I have to snap all the photos.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Finally, Smart Stay Zhilu! Check-in. Pray the room isn't a dungeon. Hopefully, the "private bathroom" doesn’t have a spider the size of my palm. This is my first real assessment. I'm looking at the atmosphere here.
- Anecdote: Last time I stayed in a “smart” hotel, the "smart" light bulbs kept flashing Morse code and woke me up at 3 AM. I am now ready for anything.
- Evening: Sun Moon Lake initial impressions. Dinner. I'm planning for some street food with the local people. Maybe I'll stumble across some street performers.
- Quirky Observation: I'm already picturing myself attempting to navigate the local vendors. I’m going to get some great stories out of it, even if I can’t understand a single word they say.
Day 2: Sun Moon Lake Exploration (Going All In!)
- Morning: Boat trip on Sun Moon Lake. Okay, I've heard the lake is beautiful. Everyone raves about it. I'm going to find out if it really lives up to the hype, or if it's just really pretty water.
- Emotional Reaction: If it's actually beautiful, I might cry. I’m a sucker for a stunning view. If it’s a tourist trap? I'll write a scathing review. There's no in-between.
- Afternoon: Cycling around the lake. (I hope the bike doesn’t fall apart). I will have to be cautious because I have a terrible sense of direction. Probably get lost. Probably end up somewhere amazing.
- Opinionated Language: The cycling paths better be well-maintained. I'm not trying to break a hip on my vacation. This is my main stress factor.
- Evening: Aboriginal Culture Village visit (potentially, subject to energy levels). Street food feast (again!). I’m guessing I'll be too full to move.
- Messier Structure: The thing about street food is… well, it's the unpredictability of it all. You walk down a street, and BAM, there's a smell that hits you right in the gut, and you have to try it. No regrets. (Famous last words?)
Day 3: Hitting the Heights (And Maybe a Waterfall):
- Morning: Cable car to Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village (I hope the queues aren't too long). The views are what I'm coming for.
- Afternoon: Hike to a waterfall (if time and motivation allow). Nature is great for the soul, right? I’m not a hiker expert, so this could go either way.
- Late Afternoon: Back to the hotel, maybe a quiet drink somewhere with a sunset view (I'm hoping there's a bar with strong cocktails).
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: I am already mentally preparing for the moment I have to leave. This is my moment to relax.
- Evening: Final dinner. Time to get my last moments together. I love the culture here.
Day 4: Departure (The Reality Check):
- Morning: A leisurely breakfast (hopefully not instant noodles!). A final wander around, soaking it all in. Buying souvenirs.
- Afternoon: Train back to Taipei.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Fly home. This is the worst, the hardest part.
And Now, The Stream-of-Consciousness Breakdown of Sun Moon Lake: My "All In" Moment:
Sun Moon Lake. Okay. The name itself? Poetic. I’ve seen the photos. Stunning. But what if it's… underwhelming? What if it's just a big lake? What if the "magical" light everyone raves about is just… sunlight?
But I'm trying to approach this with an open mind (and a fully charged camera).
Here's the thing: I'm not a "lakes person." I prefer mountains. Cliffs. Dramatic landscapes. Lakes seem… calm. Peaceful. Which, honestly, is kind of what I need right now. I’m coming here to relax.
I'm imagining the boat ride. The wind in my hair. The smell of the lake (I hope it smells good). Maybe I’ll see some ducks. I like ducks.
The cycling. This is where things could get interesting. I'm not a super-avid cyclist, but I enjoy a leisurely pace. And the views! Picturesque! I imagine myself stopping every five seconds to take a photo and getting hopelessly behind.
The sunset. Now that’s the money shot. I'm already trying to figure out the best vantage point. Perched on a rock? On a pier? In a bar, with a cocktail the color of the sunset? (Priorities, people!).
Oh. Aboriginal Culture Village. This is where my research gets fuzzier. I like learning about different cultures, but I also get a little… overwhelmed. It’s important to be respectful. I just hope I don’t accidentally say something horribly inappropriate. Cross-cultural communication is not always my strong point.
And the food! Okay. The food. I'm going to eat everything. I'm going to try everything. I'm going to overdo it, probably. And I'm going to have a fantastic time. This is my main goal. Let the adventures begin!
