The hotel combines Eastern Zen with natural landscapes, featuring a bright and simple design with a wooden and herbal color scheme that is quite relaxing. However, the most beautiful features are the Bali-style spa pool and the Instagram-worthy swimming pool, which are perfect for taking stunning photos.
On weekdays, a one-night stay with one meal costs around 7600 TWD. This time, there is a special offer in Hualien, with a one-night stay and two meals priced at 8600 TWD, which is quite a good deal. The restaurant uses fresh organic ingredients directly sourced from local farmers, making the food not only delicious but also healthy, which is a big plus.
The rooms are also named after herbs, such as the Mint Deluxe Room, and others like Rosemary, Lavender, and Geranium. The indoor space is quite large, starting from 15 pings, with elegant decor. The mattresses are from a well-known brand, extra-large and extra-thick, making for a very sweet sleep.
Gaeavilla Resort not only offers herbal steam baths in the rooms but also has public facilities like a yoga pavilion, tea house, and herbal cooking class, all of which are very relaxing and therapeutic experiences.
