Great place for onsen outside usual popular locations. Place gives an upmarket feel and provides good quality. Very impressed with Breakfast buffet and Dinner buffet. Getting here will require a car ride as it is literally in the middle of nowhere. Has a 7-11 (opens till 2200) within 2 mins walk. A 24-H Hi-Life convenient store will require a drive out.

A Pleasant Stay
I recently stayed at Onsen Papawaqa and had an overall enjoyable experience. **Check-In Process:** The check-in process was easy and hassle-free. **Room:** The room was spacious, clean, and came with interesting local complimentary snacks. The highlight was the big hot-spring tub, which was perfect for relaxation. **Breakfast:** The breakfast was nice, offering a mix of Taiwanese, Chinese, and Japanese foods. However, the restaurant layout could be troublesome for some, as it requires navigating stairs to access the food areas. **Communal Hot-Spring:** The communal outdoor hot-spring, referred to as the "naked hot-spring," was quite mediocre. It was underused and not well-maintained, with leaves accumulating in the tub. **Service:** The service by the staff was very good. While English communication was sometimes challenging, the staff tried their best to be helpful in every situation. **Location:** The only downside is the location, which is about a 30-minute drive from the town of Miaoli. Overall, I had a good experience at Onsen Papawaqa, with the spacious room and private hot-spring tub being the standout features.

Overrated
1. The hotel driveway was nice and the staffs were polite and welcoming. 2. The hotel compound and the facing of the rooms were nice. 3. Our room was beside the meeting room and it got noisy when they loitered outside the meeting room or walking passed. 4. The lighting of the room was very dim and we often turn on our handphone light to look for things in our luggages. 5. The room looked clean on the surface but it was not. The was a cockroach on the platform bed and we realised both of us had insect/bed bites on our legs and hands the next day. 6. The room was poorly designed and not functional. We had to take a big step up to the platform bed and a big step down to use the basin. From the basin, we had to take a step up and a step down to use the WC. Imagine how many times we had to do that in a day. 7. There wasn’t even enough place to put the hand soap, cups to brush teeth on the basin area so it was placed on the floor when we check-in. 8. The restaurant served good famous local food but the design of the restaurant was a flaw. We had to climb stairs to get to the food area and down to your dining table. We witnessed a child tripped and fell on the stairs and broke the plate. 9. This hotel is not child and elderly friendly.

A quiet but beautiful onsen resort
The hotel is about 1 1/2 hour drive from Taichung, setting in a very quiet but beautiful area. It will be more convenient if you self drive or have a catered car. There are strawberries picking and nice scenery lookout nearby. Our room have an outdoor onsen, good size for family of 4, my kids enjoyed soaking so much. The hotel uses branded amenities which is a plus for the ladies. The public onsen area has a nice view, with hot and cold spring pools. There is a drinking bar providing complimentary hot (ginger tea) and cold beverages. And guests required to wear swim cap or shower cap at the outdoor onsen. Staff are very attentive and friendly. They featured local delicacies at breakfast, however choices are limited. My family enjoyed the 2 nights stay, feeling relax and refresh.

Good decoration but weird no photo policy
Excellent decoration in the rooms and all facilities, excellent quality of spring water, good service from the front desk and restaurant. The hot spring wood tub in the room was on point! However, they have this weird policy about no photos in the swimming pool area. I mean banning people to take photos of their beautiful pool and post on their social media, which just doesn't make much sense nowadays.
