Our stay at Leofoo Resort Guanshi in Taiwan December 19 2019, 0 Comments

We heard so much wonderful sharings from friends & family and decided to book a stay during our recent Taiwan vacation. 

Checked-in time was at 15:00 hrs but thankful our room was ready at about 14:00hrs when we arrived. We had a 2D1N stay from 3 Dec - 4 Dec. At the counter, the lady asked if we brought our own toothbrush & slippers. I was puzzled, and she explained that this is a eco-friendly resort hence if you do not need the items, they will reward you with NT$50 voucher per pax. This voucher can be use for paid activities in the resort. I am happy with the initiative & got my vouchers for 5 pax, thats extra NT250 to spend :) 

The rooms are house on 2 sides - Zebra cottage & Giraffe cottage. I choose the Giraffe cottage as I wanted to see the animals outside my balcony. The Zebra side couldn’t really see the animals. Good choice!⁣

Great experience waking up to animals outside our resort room!! 


We had a double storey room to fit 5 of us. 2 individual toilets & 2 showers made it so convenient.

Phew, the room has no smell but I could hear the flamingos chatting at night! So funny 😆 ⁣

shower & toilet are detached to make it convenient

Father in law joined us, so he took the bed below while our family took the 2 beds upstairs.

The whole resort is decorated with animals, safari themed.

Other than the animals as the main highlight, the resort also has other DIY craft activities in-house for children to enjoy. It is house in another building which is 5 mins walk away. Open from 9am - 9pm, you can walk in anytime to reserve your spot. 

Sophie painted a Maraca, which is a hand instrument. It cost NT399/person but we offset with our NT250 vouchers we receive earlier. 



There were only a few choices for food in the resort, hence we settled for the international buffet.
Price wise cost us SG$50 a pax for adult, SG$30 for child. (quite steep I feel)



We watched an African night performance after our dinner at the resort.
It was entertaining :)

Oh, they love the staircase, because its like a 2 story house.

 The room came with a pack of cute cookies which was my night snack.

Shopping Time!

(did not buy anything)

DAY 2 (AM): 

I woke up early to "say hello" to the animals outside our hotel. I was hoping to see the giraffe pop its head near our balcony as shown on the website but nope, it did not happen. I was disappointed that I could not spot any giraffe and even called the front desk to ask where is the giraffe! hahhaa. Due to the cold weather, the giraffe was hiding inside & will be release at a later time.

Buffet Breakfast to fuel our tummies 1st. 

After breakfast, we made our way to the Scenic Lookout  to listen to 'Introduction to Animals in the Resort' sharing

In-house staff explaining to us the characteristics of the animals.

The other highlight of the resort stay were the close animal experience activities.

Some were paid, some were free. I had my chance to hold a parrot! (It’s free)

Sophie is brave enough to stand beside it for photo only.

You are allowed to feed the parrots too

Other paid activities include Meet & Greet with Lemur/Alpaca/Meerkat.
I want to try but the kids were scared!

A glimpse of the activity schedule for you :)

Glad we discovered the other side of the resort where other animals were housed. Say hello to Giraffe, Zebra, Goat, Lemur, etc. The siblings were so excited for these encounters 😉 No crowd so we happily enjoyed the animals all to ourselves. 😍⁣

Hello Pony!

 Hello Giraffe!

I really love this shot, 1st time going SO close to a giraffe

 

Hello Alpaca!

Hello Zebra!



The kids with their sad face as they bid farewell to the resort.

 

We hope to be back someday!!
