#1: Hotel Cozzi Taoyuan — Most Popular Family Hotel with Xpark Combo
Hotel Cozzi Taoyuan earns the top spot not just because of Xpark. Its real strength is family convenience — the hotel runs a shuttle from HSR Taoyuan Station, and both Xpark Aquarium and Gloria Outlets are within walking distance, so once you check in there is no need to drive anywhere else, which makes traveling with kids much easier.
Room Types and Family Facilities
The 1st floor of the mall that shares the building has Qiaohu Dream Park (five zones including the Qiaohu Colorful Ball Pit; admission ticket required, and some stay packages on the official website include tickets), and the 3rd floor has a 100-ping Cabin Zone; the hotel has no pool. In line with environmental regulations, disposable amenities such as toothbrushes are not provided, so bring your own children's toiletries.
The downside? The hotel itself has no pool, and Qiaohu Dream Park requires a separate admission ticket (only some stay packages include tickets), so families who want to swim will need to plan elsewhere.
Nearby Attractions and Transportation
Xpark Aquarium is about a 2-3 minute walk via the indoor connecting walkway on the 2nd floor, and Gloria Outlets is about 5-8 minutes away. The hotel runs a free shuttle from HSR Taoyuan Station (about a 3-minute ride) — only 20 minutes from Taipei by HSR. Shin Kong Cinemas and IKEA are also nearby, providing rainy-day alternatives.
Room Rates and Xpark Combos
Official rates vary by date, so go by the live quote on the official website. The official website also has an "Xpark海潮漫旅" stay package that includes Xpark tickets depending on room type (not valid during long holidays).

#2: South Garden Resort — Hot Spring Spa x Kids' Splash Pool
Family Facility Highlights
South Garden's biggest selling point is its hot springs. The sodium bicarbonate springs are suitable for both adults and kids. The kids' splash pool is 60 cm deep with five large children's water-play features; the 1st floor has a children's playroom and the Dino family center, and there's outdoor green space for running and jumping to burn energy.
The facilities do show their age, though. Not run-down, but compared to newly opened hotels, the overall freshness is lacking.
Half-Board Package Recommendation
The half-board plan includes breakfast and dinner — no need to worry about finding restaurants with kids in tow. Cool Price Travel packages are more affordable than the official website, valid with flexible dates.

Nearby Attractions
Daxi Old Street is about 15 minutes by car — dried tofu, peanut candy, rice bowl cake and more. Shimen Reservoir scenic area is also nearby. Learn more: South Garden Resort Guide
#3: The Westin Tashee Resort, Taoyuan — Family Vacation Next to a Golf Course
Outdoor and Leisure Facilities
The Tourism Administration's TaiwanStay lodging site lists the hotel as having children's play facilities, indoor play facilities and a variety of sports courts, and the hotel sits right next to the Daxi golf course, so energetic kids can burn off energy here; opening hours and age and weight limits for each activity are as posted on-site by the hotel.
Pools and Spa
The hotel has an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, plus the Heavenly Spa, giving parents a chance to relax.
Room rates vary by date, so go by the live quote on the official website; best suited for special occasions or treating the whole family.

#4: Fame Hall Garden Hotel — Paradise for Baseball-Loving Kids
The Baseball Hall of Fame Museum is right on the grounds. Swinging at pitches, catch-and-throw tag-outs — these interactive games are so engaging that boys won't want to leave. Girls can enjoy it too — the museum's interactive design goes beyond just baseball, with plenty of science and sports-related experiences.
The grounds are huge — just walking around and visiting exhibitions can fill half a day. But if your kids have zero interest in sports activities, this might not be the best choice.
#5: Sheraton Taoyuan Hotel — By the Airport, Easiest Either Side of a Flight
A common misconception to correct: the Sheraton Taoyuan is not in downtown Taoyuan. It sits at No. 777, Daguan Road in Dayuan District, about a 15-20 minute drive from Taoyuan International Airport, with a free, reservation-based airport shuttle for guests that runs at fixed times and stops; the hotel has 190 rooms and suites.
The children's play area and pool facilities are complete and service is consistent. Its real advantage is the night before or the day after a flight — no rushing across the city with luggage. If what you want is a downtown hotel with restaurants and shops on the doorstep, this is not it.
#6: Howard Lake Resort Shimen — Family Time in Nature
Located inside the Shimen Reservoir scenic area — fresh air, beautiful scenery.
Children's play facilities and outdoor activity spaces are available, and room rates vary by date, so go by the live quote on the official website. Great for families wanting to be close to nature without being too "middle of nowhere." Being far from the city is the only minor downside — we recommend booking a half-board package.
#7-10: Budget and Specialty Taoyuan Family Hotels
High-Value Motel-Style Family Stays
Some Taoyuan motels offer slide rooms and themed rooms. High privacy, convenient parking — especially easy for families with toddlers. No public playroom is the trade-off, but in-room facilities are enough to keep kids entertained.
Taoyuan Family Hot Spring Hotels
South Garden (in Zhongli) has sodium bicarbonate springs, and Taoyuan has other hot spring stays to choose from too. Winter soaking, summer splashing — suitable year-round.
Taoyuan Family B&Bs
B&Bs typically have more space than hotels, ideal for larger families or group trips. Private villa types offer independent space where kids can play freely without worrying about disturbing others. But facilities aren't as complete as hotels — you'll need to prepare more on your own.
How to Choose a Taoyuan Family Hotel? 4 Must-Know Tips for Parents
Slides and Indoor Play Areas
- Select Taoyuan motels: Small in-room slides, suitable for ages 1-4
- South Garden: Combined ball pit and slide in the Dino family center, marked "being re-planned" on the official website

Budget vs International Brands — How to Choose
Budget options: Motel-style, B&Bs — for families who just need a place to sleep. International brands: Westin, Sheraton — for families wanting the full resort experience.
Our suggestion? Hotel Cozzi and South Garden offer the best value. Adequate facilities, solid service, and a price that won't sting too much.
Want Spontaneous Weekend Getaways?
Cool Price Travel vouchers are valid with flexible dates. Buy them in advance, then when you're ready, fill in the booking form on Cool Price and Cool Price books the hotel for you — you can check in once you receive the booking confirmation email. The booking takes some processing time, so don't wait until the day you leave to submit the form. Cheaper than last-minute OTA bookings, with more flexibility. This trick is especially perfect for families who like spontaneous weekend getaways.
