Taiwan's Sunflower Secret: The 3D B&B You NEED to Book!
Sunflower Secret: The 3D B&B in Taiwan That Almost Made Me Sell My Kidney (But in a Good Way!)
Okay, listen up, because I'm about to tell you about a B&B in Taiwan that completely redefined my travel expectations. Forget sterile hotel rooms and generic buffets. We're talking the Sunflower Secret, and it's… well, it's different. Prepare to have your travel soul utterly charmed.
Let's start with the basics, and then we'll delve into the real magic. Because, let’s be honest, sometimes you need to know if a place is even possible for you.
Accessibility & Safety - They REALLY Thought About This (Thank God!)
Right off the bat, this place gets a gold star for being genuinely inclusive. Wheelchair accessible throughout? Yep. Elevator? You betcha. They even have facilities for disabled guests, which isn't just a checkbox; it's obvious someone actually cared. Accessibility is huge, but it's more than just ramps. I saw a genuine attention to detail that made me sigh with relief – finally, a place that actually gets it. They have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside the property. They actually care they have provided security features which make a huge difference.
And in these post-pandemic times? They’re on it. Anti-viral cleaning products, rooms sanitized between stays, hand sanitizer everywhere, and daily disinfection in common areas. I swear, I saw a housekeeper practically attack a door handle with a spray bottle. It's comforting… and, honestly, a bit funny. They had a Doctor/nurse on call. They even have individually-wrapped food options and safe dining setups. Seeing all the extra actions, it was such a relief to know they care about us. Rooms sanitization opt-out available, as well. They take it to the next level in cleaning.
Internet, Internet, Internet (and What Else a Digital Nomad Needs to Know)
Now, for the all-important question: Internet?. YES. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And not just flaky, buffering Wi-Fi. This stuff was reliable. I even dared to tether my laptop to my phone for a bit (because you know, emergency deadlines), and even that chugged along without too much drama. And if you’re old school like me and sometimes still want to hardline connect, they throw in Internet [LAN] for good measure. Internet services are offered so you can get it all done.
Things to Do and Melt Into – The Spa Scene & Wellness
Okay, friends, this is where things get really interesting. They’ve got a pool with a view. Imagine yourself floating, drink in hand, staring out at… well, depending on your room, probably epic mountain scenery or a vibrant cityscape. (I got really lucky). Now, I'm generally a 'get-up-and-go' type, but the spa area? Oh. My. Goodness. They have a sauna, steamroom, spa/sauna, and massage is non-negotiable. They even have a Foot bath. I spent a good portion of my trip in a state of near-bliss. The Body scrub was pure heaven. The Body wrap… even better. I honestly considered trading my passport for a lifetime supply of their body butter. They have a fitness center too.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Forget the Diet Plan (Mostly)
Where do I even begin? The food at the Sunflower Secret is… dangerously good. Breakfast [buffet]? Yes. But it's not the sad, lukewarm sausage type. We're talking an Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine, with fresh, vibrant flavors. Western breakfast is also available. I started every day with a plate piled high. And if you're feeling lazy (or completely spa-melted), they have room service [24-hour].
They've got restaurants, a coffee shop, a poolside bar, and a snack bar. And they’ve got a vegetarian restaurant. Happy hour. Even a dessert in the restaurant (because, duh). They have a bar and a bottle of water offered at the check-in. They even offer soup in the restaurant. The salad in the restaurant was actually good! This is so different from lots of hotels.
Services and Conveniences – Making Life Easier (and More Beautiful)
They offer all the usual suspects, (Daily housekeeping, laundry service, concierge, luggage storage, and 24-hour front desk), so you don't have to worry about the mundane. But it’s the little things that really shine. They have a gift/souvenir shop, which saved me from a souvenir panic the day before I left. They have a terrace to enjoy a beautiful sunset.
And for the business travelers, they're on top of their game: Business facilities, meeting/banquet facilities, indoor venue for special events, seminars, and projector/LED displays. They have invoice provided too.
For the Kids – Bring ‘Em Along!
They have a babysitting service and are Family/child friendly! I didn’t get to see this first hand, but I saw the happy families around. Kids meal available.
Available in All Rooms – My Personal Comfort List
Okay, here’s the stuff you really need to know: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, and Wake-up service. Seriously, they've thought of everything. Oh, and Wi-Fi [free]!
My Own Personal, Slightly Rambling, Anecdote:
Okay, so I hated the first five minutes. After a long travel day, I arrived feeling like a crumpled piece of paper. Check-in was smooth (thanks, contactless check-in/out!), but I still felt… off. Then, I stumbled into the spa. I’m not kidding, I think I actually sobbed when the masseuse started working on my knots. The view from the pool was breathtaking, but even more so, watching the sunset with a cocktail in my hand. The food was phenomenal. The staff genuinely friendly. By the next day, I was practically skipping.
Where It Could Be Better (Because Nothing's Perfect)
Honestly? This place is pretty close to perfect. Maybe a slightly wider selection of international food – it was heavily Asian-focused, which I loved, but a hungry traveler craves variety. And maybe a few more plug sockets by the bed. My phone died a couple of times. But these are seriously nitpicks.

Vietnam Ocean View Escape: Your Dream 2-Bedroom Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups! This isn't your polished, perfectly-planned travel brochure. This is my brain, currently running on lukewarm coffee and the vague memory of a dream about flying dumplings, planning a trip to the 3D Sunflower Embossed B&B in Taiwan. Let's dive in, shall we?
Taiwanese Tango: A Messy Itinerary (and My Increasingly Chaotic Thoughts)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Bubble Tea Debacle (and Existential Dread)
- Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Wake up. Or rather, attempt to wake up. The reality of leaving my comfy bed, where I’m basically a professional napper, hits me like a rogue wave. Pack. Unpack. Repack because I brought way too many shoes. Seriously, who needs six pairs of hiking boots in Taiwan? (Answer: Likely someone who dramatically overestimates their stamina).
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Airport chaos. Passport check, security (why do I always fumble with my laptop like it's a live grenade?), and the obligatory pre-flight freakout about forgetting something crucial, like my sanity. Flights aren't my cup of tea.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The flight. Pray to the travel gods for a window seat (and that my seatmate doesn't snore like a chainsaw). Try to sleep, fail miserably due to that infernal engine hum and the incessant need to pee (probably from the airline water).
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM) (Taipei Time): Arrive in Taipei! Holy moly, it's hot and humid. Like, "stick to your clothes" hot. Immigration. Currency exchange. Find the train. Get utterly and completely lost despite having diligently downloaded Google Maps.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): THE BUBBLE TEA INCIDENT. Okay, so, I'm obsessed with bubble tea. It's a problem. I stumble (literally) into a bubble tea shop, delirious from travel and the sheer sensory overload of Taipei. I order a classic milk tea. The lady behind the counter asks, "Sugar level?" I freeze. "Um… medium?" She nods. I hand over my money. She gives me my drink. I take a sip. It's like drinking liquid sugar mixed with, I kid you not, the essence of pure joy. My eyes widen. I'm in bubble tea heaven. But then… the bubbles. Oh, the dreaded tapioca pearls. My first bite? A gelatinous, lukewarm blob. I try again. Blobs. Blobs everywhere. Defeat. I look at the cup, defeated. Did I just have a bubble tea existential crisis? Yes, yes I did.
- Evening (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Food stall exploration! Overwhelming, glorious, delicious food stalls. I just blindly point at things. "That! And that! And something that looks like a tiny, adorable dumpling!" Eat everything (likely very quickly). Overwhelmed and delighted.
Day 2: Lost in the Mountains (and Found in… Well, Still Lost)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Attempt to function after copious amounts of delicious, greasy street food. Head to the train station.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Travel to the 3D Sunflower Embossed B&B. The view is gorgeous! I manage to get on the correct train (miracle!). The journey itself is a stunning blur of rice paddies and misty mountains. The closer I get, the smaller my life problems seem.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Check in! The B&B. It’s even prettier than the pictures. (Relief washes over me - you never know with online booking!) The sunflower embossing is… charming. Maybe a little too charming? Okay, I'm getting nitpicky.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Hiking! Or at least, attempting to hike. I thought I was prepared – boots, water bottle, a slightly optimistic attitude. Turns out, the mountain trails are…intense. I sweat like a leaky faucet. I take a wrong turn. I panic. I find myself face-to-face with a particularly large, and potentially grumpy, insect. (Okay, maybe it was a butterfly, but in my state of panic, it could have been a dragon). Eventually, I give up and sit on a rock, gasping for air and contemplating my life choices.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Find a tiny, hole-in-the-wall tea shop. The best tea I’ve EVER had. And a cookie. Seriously, I ate the cookie first. The tea calmed my nerves, and I actually, truly enjoyed the view. A moment of complete peace, which turned out to be the best part of the day.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Dinner at the B&B. Authentic Taiwanese food (bliss!), and I manage to communicate with the owner using a combination of broken Mandarin, frantic hand gestures, and sheer willpower. They are incredibly patient and kind, even when I accidentally spill soy sauce all over the pristine tablecloth. (I'm a mess, what can I say). Stargazing. The sky is so clear! My soul is slightly restored.
Day 3: Sunflower Delights and Farewell Faraway (and a Pinch of Melancholy)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Enjoy the B&B's breakfast, which is a masterpiece of Taiwanese cuisine – and a welcome recovery from my hiking disaster. I swear, I could eat pineapple for days.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Exploring the little town around the B&B. Visit a temple. Visit a local market (and buy a hat that will probably never see the light of day again). Take way too many photos of sunflowers (because, well, obviously). The town is quiet and charming. It makes me realize that I have been working a lot.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Lunch at a noodle shop. The noodles are perfect. The broth is divine. I devour the entire bowl so quickly, I almost choke. (A real travel moment, right there!)
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The dreaded packing. It's always a heartbreaking moment, realizing that my perfect Taiwanese bubble is about to burst.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Travel back towards the airport. The same gorgeous views, but this time, through slightly tear-stained eyes. (Travel is weird, okay?)
- Evening (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM): The flight. I try to sleep, again. I watch a truly terrible movie on the plane, and I'm surprisingly happy. I'm going home.
- Evening (9:00 PM onwards): Land back in the real world. I'm tired. I'm jetlagged. I'm already planning my next trip. (And maybe, just maybe, I'll try to perfect that bubble tea order.)
Final Thoughts (and a Plea for Kindness from Taiwanese Chefs):
This trip was messy. It was beautiful. It was frustrating. It was exactly what I needed. I got lost, I made mistakes, and I ate way too much food. Most of all, I felt things. I'm a better person for it. (Probably). And if any Taiwanese chefs are reading this, please, please, forgive my clumsy chopstick skills and general lack of grace. I'll be back soon! And until then, the memory of sunflowers, mountains, and the perfect cup of tea will have to do.
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Risemount Premier Resort Da Nang - Your Dream Vietnam Escape!
Okay, Sunflower Secret... Is it REALLY 3D? Like, actual dimensional shenanigans? My brain is already hurting.
Hahaha! No, honey, you don't need 3D glasses. It's not about literal 3D like a movie. It's about the *experience*! The whole B&B is themed after Taiwanese pop culture, and they've used incredible artistry – think paint, perspective, clever little touches! – to make it *feel* like you're IN a different dimension. Like, I walked into the karaoke room, and for a split second, I felt like I was a full-on diva about to belt out a Mandopop anthem. It's mind-bending, in the best way possible. But seriously, if you're expecting holograms, you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting a whimsical, immersive adventure? You've come to the right place. Prepare to have your Instagram feed BLOWN UP.
I saw some photos... is everything actually sunflower related? I'm not a massive sunflower enthusiast.
Okay, here’s the truth. I’m not a big fan of sunflowers myself. I think they can be a little… predictable. But the Sunflower Secret doesn't just shove sunflowers in your face. Yes, there are touches, but the real magic is the *theme*. It's a vibrant, playful celebration of Taiwan itself! From the rooms themed after local snacks (I stayed in the bubble tea room, FYI – AMAZING) to the quirky artwork and the incredible attention to detail, it's a love letter to the island. Seriously, I was half expecting to find a hidden stash of pineapple cakes under the pillows.
The location… Is it actually convenient? I don't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere!
It depends. Okay, I’m getting real with you now. It’s not smack-dab in the middle of Taipei. It's a bit of a trek, but that's part of the charm, right? It's in a more relaxed area or the central part of Taiwan, which means you get a break from the city madness. Plus, it’s close enough to major attractions. I mean, I'm a city girl, and I survived it. Plus, the peace and quiet? Pure bliss. And let's be honest, after a day of exploring, collapsing on that bed, was worth any kind of public transport! Just a little planning, and you’re golden.
What's the deal with the rooms? Are they all the same, just sunflower-ified? And are they photogenic? Because, you know…
Absolutely not! Each room is a *unique experience*. Remember that bubble tea room I mentioned? It was epic, it had giant, squishy boba pillows! I’m talking insta-gold. I made sure to take a picture with every single feature in my room! Some are themed after iconic Taiwanese snacks (think pineapple cakes, bubble tea rooms) others are inspired by popular movies! Each room is meticulously designed and overflowing with photo opportunities. You’re going to want to take a million pictures. I guarantee it. Prepare for your friends to be insanely jealous.
Okay, food. What's the food situation? I'm always hungry. And I have dietary restrictions!
Alright, foodie alert! Breakfast is included. It was... good. Think Taiwanese staples – rice porridge, savory dishes. They tried to cater to everyone, but if you have super specific dietary needs, it’s always best to let them know in advance! There are tons of amazing local options nearby. Just ask the staff! They are super helpful. I think that’s the best part about this place, is the staff. They make you feel like family. But, I did go slightly insane by going on a mission to eat as many street snacks as I could. And let me tell you, I didn't regret one single bite. Do your research, pack your stretchy pants, and prepare to be amazed by what Taiwan has to offer! Seriously, the night markets alone are worth the trip.
Is it family-friendly? I've got little terrors (oops, I mean, precious angels).
Yes and no. Some rooms are definitely more suited for families than others. They have some rooms set up for a bigger party. But, if you want total quiet and peace… maybe not. There's a very playful, energetic vibe that is going on at this place. Just check in with the booking to make sure they have the right kind of room and the activities you need for your "precious angels." Just be prepared for a bit of chaos (in the best way). And maybe pack some earplugs, just in case. You know, for the other guests.
Let’s talk about the staff. Are they helpful? Will they judge me for my questionable karaoke skills?
The staff? Honestly? *Fantastic*. They're incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seem to love their jobs, and I’m a tough critic. They went above and beyond during my stay. They're the kind of people who make you feel like you're visiting family even if you're not really related. And the karaoke? Don't worry! They are more than happy, and most likely, they’ll join you! They're there to have fun, not judge! Just embrace the awkwardness and belt it out. It's all part of the experience! I may have accidentally sung a whole song in mandarin (so embarrassing). They just laughed with me. That’s the Sunflower Secret magic.
What about accessibility? Is it wheelchair-friendly or accessible?
This is something I didn’t personally check out, since I don't need it but, I would honestly recommend that you contact them *directly* about any mobility requirements. They are usually pretty good about accommodating requests. I strongly recommend emailing them to get the final word. They can give you the *real* details and tell you what they can offer and what they can't.
Okay, sold! But where do I book? And how much does it cost?
Do a Google search! They're pretty popular, so book well in advance, especially if you're going during peak season! The price varies depending on the room, the time of year, and your "level of diva-ness." It's not budget backpacking, but not overly expensive either! Check reviews. I'd say, book it! Just do it! I promise you won't regret it. Seriously. This is the one experience I rave about to every single friend, familyUnique Hotel Finds
