Shangrila Leisure Farm

We liked the bfast, the activities after 8pm which are very suited for children (top spinning competition, tangyuan making, sky lantern writing and letting and star gazing on the highest point of the farm! The leisure farm does not have animals (unless you can count one hen and one duck), but it has splendid views, swings and drums so it’s still a plus! There’s also giant bubble making at the sitting area near reception for kids to play! Dinner at restaurant was pricey but quite sumptuous (set dinner with many sides). There are steps from road area to reception and rooms. Some rooms (eg ours, with Mountain View) has stairs, it’s better to request for the rooms above the breakfast dinning area (has lifts) for elderly folks. The bathroom is separate in space to a tub and standing shower head but water may flow out

The night activities and staff are friendly. Location. Facilities are old and need upgrade.

Complimentary night activities although it can be just a token participation if there are too many people participating. Delightful view from the hotel room. Breakfast was delicious but repetitive. Rooms were small even though it was meant for 4 pax; insufficient space for luggage / hooks for clothes and towels.

We saw 2 tesla EV charging stations at the carpark. We did not use it but if you intend to use it, enquire with the office if it works before coming. Fun social and digitially-disconnected activities for the family. Spinning top competitions, large bubble wands, making tang yuan, setting off large wishing lanterns, even an enclosure of 2 meercats in the reception. Free supper at 9pm of spring onion pancakes, tang yuan we made, sweet sour noodle soup and cold red tea. There are night activities and supper only if there are a sufficient number of guests in the hotel that night. Walking trails from the room doorstep to other parts of this mountain range if you are a keen walker/ hiker. The distance to the room from main reception and breakfast area is open air, far and on uneven cobble stone path, up slope. May be difficult for elderly to navigate. E.g. could be 100-200m depending on which room you are in. We eventually paid and upgraded to the premium rooms in order to be situated nearer the main lobby/ breakfast area. Rooms had free WIFI but signal was intermittent. The leisure farm next door is non-existent. No current cultivation. Just some pig pans, geese. Wooden furniture, etc not maintained. Do not plan on counting this as part of the visit/experience because there is nothing there except for great views of the valley below. Outside of the buffet breakfast, food options at the restaurant are very limited. Restaurant only serves fixed set meals (you have a choice from 4 options). It is the same options for both lunch and dinner. In Nov, the sun sets at 5 pm, so the winding and unlit mountain roads to this hotel will be challenging for the unfamiliar after dark. We chose to eat dinner in the hotel for this reason.

Simple, not much choice, mostly Bento set Unprofessional Taxi transport engaged by the hotel

Night activities which included top spinning, release sky lantern and making glutinous rice hall were interesting Quite a long walk from the reception to some of the rooms. When it rains, there will be no shelter.

nice view, everything is clean and with special decoration of the room with wood. night time free entertainment is interesting. I really enjoy it.

A breakaway from city, this hotel would be recommended, as follows : 1. Upon request for mountain view, this was given. The view from the room 236 was fantastic. Really a great room for relaxation! 2. Breakfast varieties is good if there’s reasonable occupancies. Our first day was set breakfast as there’s only 4 of us, and was really restricted. We can understand but suggest to provide Ala cate buffet as that’s what other hotels did to ensure food is not wasted. 3 despite their farm is pathetic- only animals we saw were goose/chicken and pigs, we were contented as we can get so near with the cute piglets.. where we visit them every morning. 1. Initially provided us non-mountain view until reminder was made and showed proof that they hv agreed to provide us with mountain view. It seemed different from what other reviews mentioned that they will upgrade.. not the case for us. 2. There is nothing (no shops nor convenience store) at walking distance.. its really deserted. The hotel does sell instant noodles as their restaurant is not opened after 8pm. They offered supper but really simple- home-made tang yuan and cong-yiu bing. But quite pathetic. 4 of us shared one piece. There’s Tian Deng but it was so disappointing that the lantern was already written by others and we need to squeeze our wishes. If this is the case, it will be better to do away.. we felt like ‘beggars’ trying to get food and put our wishes. And per night hotel is not cheap.. which we can easily get cheaper ones nearby. But since reviews were good, we booked the hotel. 3. They have funny cleaning policy. They only cleared the Rubbush bins and change towel.. not cleaning of the room nor tidying of bed. Anyway, when we asked them to do the cleaning and tidying of the bed the next day, they agreed. It’s just funny why this has to be told. Is this the practice in Taiwan resort? We are not taking up A&B nor B&B. When we went to other Taipei hotels, we don’t faced that.

Stunning view over the Yilan plane to the mountains and ocean - exceptional location. Leisure-farm with a large garden, lots of pavilions and places to rest, relax and enjoy the scenery. Vegetarian food available, Taiwan style, healthy-organic. Rooms with a warm countryside-feel. Its a place were entire family-groups like to go, also nice for bike-tours or other activities. the huge garden-area obviously needs more stuff to take care of to keep the place nicely maintained

breakfast was good, theres a wide variety room was comfortable too love the group activities at night the farm unfortunately was disappointing - there were much lesser animals than expected, and the crops have all died (i suppose its not the correct season)

situated in a beautiful scenery. fresh air and lively garden. Transportation needs prearrangement.

Good
