Het grootste meer van Taiwan dankt haar naam aan de vorm. Het noordelijke deel lijkt op een zon en het zuidelijke deel op een halve maan. Midden in het meer is een klein eilandje, met de naam Lalu. Het is een populaire bestemming vanwege de mogelijkheid om een boottochtje te maken op het meer. Bovendien kunt u bij de lokale restaurantjes uitstekende visgerechten eten. Tijdens uw bezoek aan deze omgeving geniet u afwisselend van adembenemende uitzichten en fotogenieke tempelcomplexen. Zowel de Wen Wu-tempel als de Tse En-pagode zijn op fantastische locaties gebouwd. Als u tijdens uw Taiwan-reis een bijzondere accommodatie wilt ervaren, dan is het luxueuze The Lalu zeker een aanrader.
"Beautiful Chinese minimalism"
15-10-2017
Beautiful hotel with the best views of the lake. The morning views with the mist and the lack of boats in the Lake are peaceful and wonderful. The interior decor is what I would call minimal , with perfectly located old pieces of traditional Chinese furniture. The flower arrangements throughout the property are both contemporary ay and serene. I would say that the property is aging in a very classy way... due to nice quality of materials. Service is great and the Chinese and Japanese restaurants are memorable
"Perfect lodging experience by Sun Moon Lake"
02-10-2017
It is my 3rd visit to this resort hotel. The lake-front suite is perfectly fitting for couples and the facilities are outstanding including library, swimming pool and spa. Dining experience is acceptable yet not to top tier standard vs the other urban fine dining restaurants.
"Great hotel with a small problem"
21-09-2017
The hotel is a great property with great service. The only problem is it's pool policy of using a hair cap they provide.
This is the first and only 5 star property I've been on that enforces a hair cap when using the pool. The pool is beautiful and probably one of the hotels best marketing tools at their disposal, pictures there would further their position on social media, just like the Marina Bay Sands did in Singapore. It is also uncomfortable as a guest expecting the best of the best at this expensive hotel to be forced to wear a Cap. Honestly this ruined my experience.
The hotel and its facilities are great. The only other problem we had is that my husband and I had dinner at their Italian restaurant and ended up with food poisoning.
Come here for the view, but don't expect to be blown away.
"Second visit, disappointing "
20-09-2017
Visited in 2016 with family and was wowed by the scenery and tranquility of the Lalu hotel. Location is unbeatable and view is absolutely phenomenal. However, other than these inherited known features, there's nothing to rave about，especially at the price tag it charges.
Hotel itself
The design and architecture remain one of my favorites. But being a 16-year-old hotel, you can see that the hardware is dated and a bit run down.
Service
Totally inconsistent. I've seen this time really good and really bad service, and mostly inadequate for a 5* hotel of its kind. Front staff are welcoming upon our arrival, but telephone reception, concierge, and a bell boy we run into, are unprofessional. We wanted to take bike rides and called to inquire, and we were told that it can be done anytime that we just give them a call and they give us a lift to the bike rental. Only when we called for ride at 4:50pm they then told us it's too late as rental place closes at 6pm. What a waste of time when words from concierge cannot be trusted.
Also, although hotel knows we have purchased a half-board package, we have to remind them each time, upon arrival, upon check-in,during tour and explanation of our room facility, at dinner we even need to remind them about our package, and also the cake and wine that are included. They further interrupted our dinner to discuss about a spa treatment that's booked by another hotel guest.
At dinner, there are many waiters and waitress attending to our table of 8, but they seem very new and not sure what they should do. They have trouble explaining the menu and answering questions. One waitress even spilled soup on me when she was serving it, not even an apology as she was embarrassed.
There is no consistency of service level at the Lalu; simply to each his own luck. Very dependent on who you run into.
Package
We used the birthday package they promote to people who have stayed here before. It includes breakfast and a la carte dinner, and by the numbers look like we save a few bucks had we decided to dine in the hotel. We chose the Chinese restaurant as we had good experience the last time. The dinner set consists of appetizer, veggies, soup, main entree, rice or noodles, veggies again, fruits and desserts, all in small portion, but they add up to be quite filling. But frankly nothing from the set was very good. To me, it feels like they exaggerate the value of a lady carte menu, it's not worth it.
Sales pitch
I honestly thought the Lalu should be "the" hotel of the Sun Moon Lake, but now I am not so sure. Rooms are often sold out on Agoda and booking.com, but guess what but tons are available on Ctrip. It makes me think if the hotel now is catering to the Chinese crowd. We got the package as promoted by one of the account manager. Through the interaction with her this time, I find that the salespeople have no level of authority to offer anything other than what's speculated by the company. They are hard grabbing salespeople hungry for sales.
I must admit due to my international traveling experience, often in high-end hotels, I am a demanding customer. Beautiful as it is, the Lalu is just not up to international standard when it comes to service.
I doubt I will visit again.
"Lalu 1 day stay"
13-09-2017
High security hotel which is completely off limits for non-guests.
Not like your typical hotel exterior, however the interior was very unique and beautiful with a timber theme.
The staff are very friendly.
The infinity pool was beautiful.
We enjoyed a degustation meal at their western cuisine restaurant and it was devine. Compliments to the chef!
