Book Lyudao hotels

Room was huge and ours had sea view (it was also facing the street, thankfully it wasn’t noisy). It’s a cosy place with scooter parking right in front of the property and a couple of good dining options around. Kudos to the staff (I think she’s also the owner) for notifying us that transport out of the island was cancelled due to typhoon on the day we planned to depart. That heads-up gave us time to change our ferry ticket to a day earlier.

This place is for people who want a real local vibe. The rooms are simple but clean. For the price it’s an incredible deal. The captain’s view in front of the house is hard to beat. Paps is a retired tuna captain and it appears his family runs the place. He’s always out front chewing betel nut and keeping an eye on his water. Does not get more local than this. At the beginning of the main strip with all the restaurants and shops. Plenty parking for scooters. Breakfast Nextdoor while staring at the dark blue water. It’s hauntingly memorable.

We had such a wonderful stay. Our hosts Ahsi and ZiYan were absolutely amazing. They picked us up from right off the ferry with all our luggage and helped us rent scooters right away and then to their hotel. We actually felt like family during our 4 days there. Breakfast was quite nice and fresh each morning with eggs, fruit, 2 kinds of special bread, salad and a meat. Coffee and tea and hot or cold filtered water were always available. The rooms were large modern and comfortable with a good AC and clean modern bathrooms. We had a direct view of the ocean from our rooms across the road. Each morning we went to the beautiful waters edge and walked along the beach and coral. The beach was made of small round pebbles with pretty shells and coral pieces.The volcanic rock and coral reef extended from the water to the shore so must be careful. Other locations around this lovely small rugged island did have more sandy beaches. There were several views that were the prettiest I have ever seen. We went scuba diving with Ahsi and ZiYan helped us book a group snorkeling tour. They helped us with restaurant arrangements and directions to places on the island and anything else we needed, including purchasing train tickets back to Taipei. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay there again when we return. Highly recommended.
