Several tall coconut trees stand beside the open-air hot spring pools. The swaying palms add to the hotel’s relaxing, romantic, and exotic atmosphere. These coconut trees are all around 40 to 50 years old, and some have grown crooked due to earthquakes or typhoons, which is quite amusing. Soaking in the hot springs or playing in the water under the trees, surrounded by mountains and a secluded vibe, offers a serene and carefree experience. After your soak, you can also take a leisurely walk along the mountain trail, immersing yourself in nature. Between April and May, you might even spot fireflies here too！
This is the only bicarbonate iron-rich hot spring area in all of Taiwan. When the hot spring water comes into contact with air, the oxidized water turns a light yellowish turbid color and has a slightly salty taste. (Image provided / Monochrome Editorial Department)
The guest rooms at Coconut Grove are all standalone cottages, decorated warmly and elegantly, and each is equipped with a cypress wood hot tub, giving off an authentic vibe. There are also two differently styled couple suites—one with a romantic blue ocean theme and the other a dreamy pink honeymoon style. The open bathroom spaces, paired with thoughtful and creative decor, may not be designed by famous architects, but the cozy, warm, and romantic atmosphere begins the moment you step into the room.
During the day, enjoy mountain scenery; at night, listen to frog croaks and cicada chirps, enhanced by the swaying coconut trees that add a tropical island flair. (Image provided / Monochrome Editorial Department)
