The [Hotel Name]: A Messy, Wonderful Deep Dive (and a Whole Lotta Wi-Fi!)
Okay, buckle up, because this isn’t your average hotel review. I'm talking about the [Hotel Name], and honestly, just trying to think about all the categories they cram into their description makes my head spin. But hey, someone’s gotta do it, right? Let's dive in, shall we? SEO keywords be damned, this is gonna be personal.
First Impressions & Accessibility (and That Damn Wi-Fi!)
Alright, let's start with the basics. Accessibility. The [Hotel Name] claims to be accessible, and to be fair, they do have elevators. (Phew! I'm not sure my knees could handle the stairs after a day of… well, whatever I end up doing.) It’s got that "Facilities for Disabled Guests" check-off, but how accessible is it really? Truth be told, I only glimpsed at it from the outside. But, hey! At least it exists.
And speaking of essentials… Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms! FINALLY! I swear, I've stayed in hotels where the Wi-Fi costs more than my actual room. Here, it's free. A massive win. And it’s not just “free in theory.” The connection was actually decent. I mean, I managed to stream a whole episode of my favorite show without constant buffering, which is practically a miracle. They also advertise Internet [LAN] which, let’s be honest, is probably for the tech wizards. I just wanted my Insta, and the Wi-Fi in public areas seemed okay too.
Cleanliness, Safety, and the Great Anti-Viral Crusade
So, this is the post-pandemic era. And the [Hotel Name] is all in on the cleanliness front. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays, professional-grade sanitizing services… It felt like walking into a lab sometimes (in a good way, I swear!). They even have Individually-wrapped food options. The Staff trained in safety protocol and hand sanitizer stations are everywhere. It's reassuring, to be honest. I felt safe. And for a germaphobe like me – that’s a BIG win. They also offered a Room sanitization opt-out available, which is cool. Not for me though!
Rooms: My Home for Three Days (and a Refrigerator That Almost Didn’t Work!)
My room? Pretty standard, but in good shape. I was high up which was cool. They had Air conditioning, thank goodness. Blackout curtains (essential for those late-night Netflix binges) and a refrigerator which, I'm not gonna lie, almost didn't work. I was so close to a full fridge crisis, but by some miracle, it cooled off. And you know what? That extra-long bed? Heaven. I could stretch out and enjoy some quality snooze time. The complimentary tea and coffee, and a desk made it perfect for working. Also, the bathroom phone was a nice touch. Not sure why anyone would use it, but it was there! My room also had a window that opens - another win.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: An Unexpected Adventure
Okay, the food… This is where things get interesting. They have a restaurant. They have a bar. They have a coffee shop. And they offer pretty much every breakfast imaginable. The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was there. A bit chaotic, to be honest, but plentiful. International cuisine was probably the highlight, though the soup in restaurant was… well, let's just say it wasn't winning any awards. The Asian breakfast was the best I found. The coffee/tea in restaurant was okay. I did enjoy a few drinks at the Poolside bar.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (and My Body's Encounter with a Literal Volcano)
The swimming pool [outdoor] was fantastic (although the "pool with a view" was slightly obstructed by a rather large palm tree). The fitness center was decent. My main focus here was the Spa, which was…an experience. I opted for the Body wrap, which turned out to be something of a volcanic mud bath (okay, maybe just mud-based), but it left me relaxed. There's a Gym/fitness, I just never got around to using it.
Services, Conveniences, and Other Quirks
The Concierge was super helpful in snagging me a cab. the Daily housekeeping was on point. The Luggage storage came in handy. They have Cashless payment service which is convenient. I'm not sure why they have a Shrine, but… okay. The Elevator was a lifesaver. There's also a Souvenir shop. And… a Proposal spot? I'd have liked to have the help of a Doorman, but that didn't happen.
Family Friendliness and Kid Stuff
They have Babysitting service and Kids facilities. I didn't have a kid, so I didn't use it.
Getting Around Parking appears available on-site and is free. The Airport transfer I don't remember.
For the Record: Things I Did and Didn't See
Didn’t see a Doctor/nurse on call. If I had needed First aid kit, well, I’d have to ask. I'm not sure what the Smoke alarms did.
Conclusion: The Good, The Bad, and the Internet
So, would I recommend the [Hotel Name]? Absolutely. It's not perfect. It's a little messy. But it's got heart. And most importantly, it has that sweet, sweet Free Wi-Fi. I'd stay there again.

Okay, here we go. Deer House B&B, Taitung. I booked this thinking "Oh, a nice, relaxing escape." HA. Famous last words. I'm already questioning my life choices, namely, the decision to attempt to ride a scooter in this tropical paradise. But first… coffee. And, you know, the schedule. (Let's see if I can actually stick to one…)
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Scootering Crisis
14:00 (Roughly): Arrived at Taitung Airport. Luggage? Check. Enthusiasm?… Debatable. The heat hit me like a wall. Seriously, I think I could fry an egg on my forehead. Found the Deer House without getting eaten by a rogue scooter gang (mostly luck, I think). The lobby is… well, it’s got deer stuff. Lots of it. Antlers on the wall, deer cushions, a surprisingly unsettling deer-shaped lamp. Okay, maybe I’m just jet-lagged.
15:00: Check-in. The owner, a woman named Mei (I think? My Mandarin is… let’s just say it’s “emerging”), greeted me with a smile and a map. “Welcome! Taitung very beautiful!” Beautiful? I'm still sweating. She then launched into a rapid-fire explanation of all the things I could do, involving beaches, mountains, night markets… Honestly, I just wanted a shower. Got my room. It's clean, air-conditioned, and has a balcony overlooking… well, I'm not sure what it overlooks. Some kind of agricultural land. Smells faintly of… something. Not bad, just… earthy.
16:00: The Scooter. Ah, the scooter. Mei insisted. "Free! Go everywhere!" Free, yes. Everywhere? That remains to be seen. The rental place was… chaotic. Instructions were given in a mixture of Mandarin and frantic hand gestures. I managed to get the thing started (after almost tipping it over). Then came the first ride. Let's just say the "very beautiful" scenery became a blur of terror. I was pretty sure I was going to die for at least the first half-hour. Narrowly avoided a collision with a particularly obstinate chicken. Managed to find a tiny convenience store for a cold drink and a much-needed breather. Seriously, scooter-riding should come with a warning: "May induce mild panic, existential dread, and a sudden urge to sell all your worldly possessions."
18:00: Dinner at a random little place Mei recommended. (I think?). Ordered something with noodles and seafood that was actually amazing, despite my shaky legs and the lingering smell of exhaust fumes. The other patrons were friendly and stared with open curiosity, but in a good way. They seemed particularly amused by my attempts (and failures) with chopsticks.
19:30: Back to Deer House. Collapsed on the bed. Maybe I'll venture out tomorrow. Maybe not. Tonight? Netflix! (Thank God for air conditioning.)
Day 2: The Beach, The Sea, and a Near-Death Experience with a Mango
07:30: Breakfast! And oh, sweet baby Buddha, was it good. Mei's breakfast is a triumph. Fresh fruit (mango, pineapple, starfruit – heaven!), fluffy omelets, crispy bacon (a rarity in Taiwan!), and – the pièce de résistance – homemade bread with passionfruit jam. I inhaled the entire plate like a hungry wolf, and I even had the mental capacity to write things down. This breakfast, I could do this every day, forever. It's the best thing to happen to me so far, by far.
09:00: Armed with a vague recollection of Mei's directions, I bravely tackled the scooter again. Destination: Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge. The views are spectacular… when I wasn't fixated on the road and almost running over a squirrel.
10:00: Sanxiantai. The bridge is… long. And bouncy. And the wind is howling. The scenery is truly stunning. The waves crashing against the rocks… the dramatic coastline… it was so inspiring I almost forgot about earlier scooters fears, almost.
11:00: Attempted to get up close with the ocean. I managed to slip on some seaweed and almost went head-first into the surf. My phone, which was not waterproof, was very lucky I saved it in time. Lesson learned: the ocean is beautiful, but also wants to drown me.
12:00: Snack break. Decided to buy a mango from a street vendor. I had a very… close… encounter with a large and juicy mango. It was all in the hands, it wasn't me, it's it, it was just the mango. I will not be mentioning any more details. And I won't be having any more mangoes. At least not until I have some therapy.
13:00: "Nap Time," which turned into an hour of staring at the ceiling. I am completely and utterly exhausted.
14:00: Evening. Maybe a dip in the ocean? Maybe a massage? I haven't decided yet.
18:00: Finding a good restaurant is another challenge. I think I'll try to find it near a place called "The Black Pearl".
Day 3: The Volcano and Goodbye (Almost) Scootering
Morning: Volcano hike! Actually, I don't remember. The breakfast was so good it must have erased my memory. I am 100% sure the volcano hike happened.
Afternoon: I swear I will take a taxi in the morning to go somewhere else. The scooter life is not for me, absolutely not.
Evening: Dinner, pack, and try to not think about future scooters.
Day 4: Departure:
- Early Morning: Leave the amazing Deer House. Thank Mei for the breakfast. Farewell, Taitung, you were one wild ride.
Thoughts and Observations:
- Seriously, those breakfasts. Worth the trip alone.
- The scooters are… a necessary evil. I may have slightly forgiven them.
- The warmth of the people, the beauty of the land… It will be worth it.
- I’m not sure if I’m getting better at Mandarin, but I’m definitely getting better at pointing and smiling.
- Next time (if there is a next time), I’m hiring a driver. Or maybe just staying at Deer House forever.
Final Verdict: Deer House: Highly Recommended. Be prepared for deer décor, amazing food, and a healthy dose of scooter-induced terror. And bring your appetite. You'll need it.
