The hotel building is of unique kitch (immitation of "Morocan style") character, and is really spacious with very large and pleasant rooms, a large and comfortable bed and nice welcoming staff. However, the room has only small mirrors, no door in the toilet, very few non absorbing towels, non comfortable sofa and armchair. At breakfast, plenty of Chinese food, but poor Western products.

A little lackluster

The Amanda is a unique stay for its location and I can see why it s very popular amongst local people in Taiwan, especially if they haven’t traveled much outside of East Asia. For someone who has traveled all over the world, I found the hotel to be quite ‘cheesy’. It did have beautiful tile throughout but other than that felt very fake. The pool is smaller than it appears in pictures. The rooms are very dark with almost no light getting to the room I stayed in. The staff were kind but the language barrier made things tricky sometimes. Overall there is nothing particularly wrong with the hotel, but being someone who as traveled to many extraordinary locations and hotels, I wouldn’t stay here again.
