 "Still Hualien’s top luxury hotel, with all the extras... Rooms standard five-star comfort. There’s a free shuttle bus from the airport, but otherwise it’s a trek from downtown." 
 "This massive resort north of downtown has all the trappings to keep the family entertained, from a huge outdoor pool, indoor water park and gym to table tennis...climbing wall and a playground." 
 "In the hills above the harbour, this five-star hotel includes a golf course, tennis courts, a pool and multiple food and beverage outlets. Your pets can stay here too – for free!" Full review
