Highly recommend this hotel for the hot spa. The service, facilities and cleanliness of the spa is superb and great to chill out at the end of a busy day. We also loved the spa in the room which also uses the same hot spring water. The staff are very efficient and business like. The restaurant left a lot to... More

Been coming to this hotel for past 20 years and still a great place to stay in Taitung. This hotel has bus load of tourist (local & mainland) and it is currently renovating rooms in one of it;s wing. The resort offers outdoor spa for men/ women (separate) and it is a must to use. Nothing beats winding down your... More

The Spa is wonderful. The staf in the hotel is very very friendly. They hardly speak English but they help you wherever they can. Perfect diner and breakfast. Very clean hotel. Like I said the Spa is fenomenal. Next to the hotel is a temple which is worthwild to visit. Go with the shuttlebus to Hualien and rent a bike... More

This hotel is great for a short stopover to recharge your batteries. The setting is picturesque, high in the coastal hills. The spa pools are well laid out and it is very relaxing to soak the tired traveller's body in the hot spring water. We ate at the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant and the food and service was first class. Overall,... More

We spent a couple of nights at this hotel and are happy to say it exceeded our expectations. Our room overlooked the front of the hotel which was a little noisy when a coach drew up and left its engine running. The hotel is also in the middle of renovations so they were cleaning and repairing the front of the... More

We drove the eastern coast of Taiwan staying at various hotels. We chose this as an upscale option during our road trip. Excellent buffets. Beautiful setting and grounds surrounding the hotel. Professional staff. This was a indeed a treat for us...the hot springs were fantastic. The entertainment of local dancers was quite enjoyable.

We've driven from Taipei to the mountains, down to Kenting, and cut across Taitung on this trip. The Royal Chihpen was a great find and terrific all around hotel with lots of activities included in the hotel price from archery, dim sum making class to evening aboriginal dance performance. The spa, hot springs, and naturally heated hot spring pool facilities... More

The Hotel Royal Chihpen is a fun little resort to spend a night or a day at. It is in the middle of nowhere, so don't expect to go anywhere, but the hotel itself has plenty to entertain you. There is a putt-putt course, archery, a very small zoo/nature walk, a spa, hot springs, a water park spa, and an... More

Just returned home after a fun 'road trip' in Taiwan. We (mom, dad and a 10-month old) stayed at the Royal Chihpen for one night, and we were pleasantly surprised at what an enjoyable time we had. Though the rooms were quite basic (rock-hard beds!), they still thought of everything. Room service was quick, the bathroom tub had access to... More
