First things first: Accessibility. This is HUGE for me. My little one’s got some mobility challenges, and the thought of wrestling a stroller through a maze of stairs just sends shivers down my spine. CHECKinn MAGI Kids? They get it. Wheelchair accessible is a big green checkmark in my book. They've got Elevator, which is a lifesaver, and the overall layout seems thoughtfully designed. I didn't measure every single hallway, but first impressions? Seriously good. They understand the practicalities of traveling with kids, with Facilities for disabled guests that are actually useful. The Front desk [24-hour] is a godsend for any late-night questions or emergencies.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Pandemic Edition
Okay, let's be frank, the fact that we're even talking about things like "Anti-viral cleaning products" says a lot about the current times. But CHECKinn MAGI Kids? They go above and beyond. They’ve got all the usual suspects: Hand sanitizer everywhere, Daily disinfection in common areas, Room sanitization between stays. But what really impressed me was the thoughtfulness. Individually-wrapped food options in their dining areas, Safe dining setup, and Staff trained in safety protocol are all comforting details knowing that there is consideration of the post-pandemic world. And I felt like the staff understood the rules – not just went through the motions. The Rooms sanitized between stays is a given these days, but they definitely take it seriously. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items - crucial! They've got First aid kit and even a Doctor/nurse on call – talk about peace of mind. I felt safe leaving those two little tornadoes running around. Their dedication to Hygiene certification adds to this peace of mind, making it one less worry on a long trip with the kids.
Let's Talk Food (Because, Priorities)
Alright, food. This is where things get… interesting. They've got an Asian breakfast, a Western breakfast, and a Breakfast [buffet]. Yes, a buffet! (cue the angels singing) They do offer Breakfast in room which is a nice touch if you want to just stay in your pajamas. And thank god for the Room service [24-hour]. Because let's be honest, sometimes all you want at 3 am is a pizza and the knowledge that you don't have to leave your room. There's a Coffee/tea in restaurant option, which is crucial because you just need the caffeine. They've got a Snack bar a Poolside bar, just in case you fancy a cocktail whilst the kids are having a whale of a time. Then again, they've got an A la carte in restaurant so you can get pretty much any food available. Oh, the kids' meals. I saw quite a few happy faces chowing down on what looked like pretty decent kid-friendly fare. Asian cuisine in restaurant? Check. Western cuisine in restaurant? Check. Vegetarian restaurant? Check. They thought of everything!
Room Rundown – The Good, the Bad, and The "OMG I Need a Nap"
Okay, the rooms are designed for families. Seriously. We're talking Family/child friendly to the max. They had Extra long bed and Interconnecting room(s) available, which is a HUGE win. We had an Air conditioning, of course, and the Blackout curtains were a lifesaver because let's face it, you need all the sleep you can get when you are traveling with kids. Not just functional, but actually comfortable. The In-room safe box is always appreciated (for important stuff, not just the meltdowns). They have a Coffee/tea maker, because coffee is life. Free bottled water, nice touch. Complimentary tea - wonderful! The Slippers and Bathrobes added a touch of luxury that you don't always find.
The beds were comfortable, and the Daily housekeeping meant I didn't have to constantly pick up after my adorable, tiny, chaos-creators. Non-smoking rooms are standard, which is a huge relief these days. The Additional toilet if you're dealing with multiple little humans, it's a true stroke of genius. I mean, the Hair dryer was great, but the second toilet? That's true luxury.
The Pool: My Personal Therapy Session
The Swimming pool [outdoor] is a showstopper. Seriously, the Pool with view is pure bliss. You know, that moment when the kids are splashing and giggling, and you can actually, for a few blessed seconds, just… breathe? That's what the pool provides. There is a Sauna, a Spa/sauna, and a Steamroom - that would be a great place to wind down. You can see how it is really designed for relaxation, given that massage is available. I did sneak in a few laps while the kids terrorized the water slides. They also have a Fitness center – which I didn’t even look at twice, mind you. Let's be realistic.
Things to Do, to Do, to DO! (Or, Actually, Maybe Just Relax)
CHECKinn MAGI Kids is like a mini-village built for families. There's a Kids facilities, like a playground (duh), and other secret areas! They've got Babysitting service, which is a godsend. Family/child friendly? Absolutely. Things to do, sure, but with the right amount of relaxation mixed in. I almost forgot about the Terrace there.
The Not-So-Perfect (But Still Okay) Bits
Nobody’s perfect, right? The Wi-Fi…it worked, but I wouldn’t exactly call it lightning-fast. Maybe it was my phone. In some areas, signal strength varied. Also, I heard a little noise at night, but I just assumed that the kids were at it again!
My Final Verdict: Should You Book?
YES. Absolutely, 100% yes. CHECKinn MAGI Kids truly gets it. It's not just a hotel; it's an experience. It's a place where kids can be kids and parents can, well, maybe not fully relax, but at least catch their breath. It's clean, safe, family-focused, and genuinely fun. Honestly, it's the BEST Family Escape in Yilan, Taiwan!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're heading to CHECKinn MAGI Kids in Yilan, Taiwan! Forget your perfectly planned itineraries, because this is gonna be… well, let’s just say authentic. I'm not promising beautiful execution, but I am promising the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (mostly). Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy…and probably hilarious…ride.
CHECKinn MAGI Kids: Yilan, Taiwan - The Anti-Itinerary (aka, the Real Deal)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Toilet Paper Debacle (and a tiny bit of "OMG, it's so CUTE!")
- Morning (aka, "The Airport Shuffle"): Landed in Taoyuan. The flight was… well, it was a flight. Let's just say the crying baby symphony was in full swing and the air stewards were definitely earning their keep. Immigration? Surprisingly smooth. My brain was already fried from the travel, but the chaos of Taipei's arrival was beautiful in its own way.
- Getting to Yilan: Train it is! Found the correct station, I think..or maybe I am still in the wrong area. The train ride itself was a welcome relief. Lush green scenery, the occasional rice paddy, and the quiet clack of the train on the tracks. This is when I started to feel…good. This is why I travel.
- CHECKinn MAGI Kids - First Impressions: Woah. Seriously. "Cute" doesn't even begin to cover it. Okay, I'm a grown adult, but this place is straight from a storybook. Bright colors, themed rooms, the works. The kids' reception area? Designed to make you feel like a kid again. They have these little hand-held video game things for kids. Honestly now. They are so cool.
- The Great Toilet Paper Debacle: This is where the "real" comes in. After a long day of travel, I was desperate for a shower. That's when I stumbled into the bathroom and realized… there was NO toilet paper. Panic mode: activated. Luckily, I had the foresight to bring a small pack of tissues. Crisis averted, but this is why I always pack extra tissues.
- Afternoon (Post-TP-Fail): Explored the hotel. Found the themed rooms: The "Mermaid" room, the "Pirate" room, the "Princess" room, and on and on… I am so jealous of the children! The kids are having the time of their lives, seriously. It reminded me of when I was a kid. (Okay, I definitely considered sneaking into one to take a nap, but I refrained.)
Day 2: Double Down on the Water Park & Existential Toddler Questions
- Morning: Breakfast & Pre-Water-Park Panic: Okay, breakfast was decent. The hotel has the standard kind of offerings. The kids are a bit wild and the parents look tired. It is funny to watch, though. After breakfast, I prepared myself. Waterproof bag, check. Sunscreen, check. I am now ready to tackle the waterpark.
- Water Park Extravaganza. Okay, so I might have spent, like, half the day at their water park. It was not my plan, but I am not complaining. So many amazing slides. Okay, I am not going to lie, I was a big kid as well. I felt the joy from the kids, sliding down the slides.
- Afternoon: Existential Toddler Questions & Dinner Disaster: A toddler, about 3 years old stared up at me while I was in the water park. "Are you a human?" he asked, with the seriousness of someone pondering the meaning of life. I laughed and said, "Yes, I am!" He then continued, "Can you build a castle?" Uh… no? The dinner was ok, nothing spectacular. My mood was still in a post waterpark high.
- Evening : Bedtime! Honestly, I feel like I am 8 years old. I cannot stop laughing from today's amusement. I love moments like this.
Day 3: Yilan Exploration & Farewell (which is sad)
- Morning: Yilan City Adventures: Got up, had breakfast (again), and decided to venture out into Yilan City. Walked around the streets with the most incredible street food. The smells alone are intoxicating. I had some incredible scallion pancakes.
- Afternoon: Back to the Hotel - The Sad Farewell and the Great Gift Shop
- Returned to the hotel. Okay, this place is really amazing. I really do feel sad that I have to leave now.
- Stopped in the gift shop. Found some fun souvenirs for myself.
- Evening: Departure
- Farewell to the hotel. This place is the best.
Observations & Rambled Thoughts:
- The Kids: The kids at CHECKinn MAGI Kids are a constant source of entertainment. Their pure joy and boundless energy are infectious.
- The Staff: The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They are patient with everyone.
- Yilan: I love Yilan. It feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
- My Moods: I'm just a human. My mood changed drastically. It's been a roller coaster, but in a good way.
Final Verdict:
CHECKinn MAGI Kids is a quirky, kid-centric, and slightly chaotic hotel that will leave you smiling (and maybe a little exhausted). It’s not perfect, but that’s the beauty of it. It’s real. It's funny. And it's totally worth it. Go. Just go. And bring extra tissues. You’ll thank me later.

Okay, so is CHECKinn MAGI Kids REALLY the "BEST Family Escape" in Yilan? Because my kids are tiny terrorists...
Alright, let's be real. The phrase "BEST Family Escape" is marketing hyperbole. But... and this is a BIG but... it's pretty darn close. My kids? Think miniature Tasmanian devils with a penchant for screaming at inappropriate times. Frankly, most vacations leave me needing *my* own vacation. But Yilan, and CHECKinn specifically? It…it worked. It wasn’t perfect. There were meltdowns (mostly by ME, fueled by lack of sleep). There were arguments over who got the green slide. And the breakfast buffet? Let's just say I spent a solid 15 minutes chasing my youngest around the pastry section, only to find him face-first in a chocolate croissant. (He was happy. I was mortified. Classic parent life.)
But through the chaos...the joy was undeniable. Seeing their faces light up at the splash park? Priceless. My older one actually, and I mean *actually*, went on the water slides by herself. I nearly burst with pride. So, is it the 'best?' Maybe not in a perfectly polished, Instagram-worthy way. But in a "kids actually had fun, parents got to breathe, and we made memories (and possibly gained a few grey hairs)" kind of way? Absolutely, yes.
The rooms... are they actually kid-friendly, or just... 'marketed' as such? My kids demolish everything.
Okay, this is one area where CHECKinn actually delivers. Like, *really* delivers. We booked the family suite (a MUST, trust me). It's not just a regular room with a slightly bigger bed. Think bunk beds with playful themes, a little play area, a mini-fridge stocked with snacks... Basically, it's a kid-proofed paradise. The materials seem durable, which is essential. Because, let's be honest, kids WILL try to dismantle things. (Mine certainly tried. The bunk beds are still standing; a testament to their quality and my parenting failures. Mostly quality.)
The bathroom was also surprisingly well-designed. I had expected wet floors and near-drowning incidents, but the layout prevented most of it (though I did have to rescue my youngest from an attempted bubble bath-turned-ocean). The little step stool and mini-toilet seat were absolute lifesavers, avoiding endless trips to rescue kids mid-potty break. Oh, and they had plenty of towels. That's key for a water park hotel!
What about the food? Are we stuck with chicken nuggets and sad, soggy fries? My kids are terrible eaters.
Look, I'll be honest. I went in already mentally preparing for a diet of processed food. I dreaded it. But surprisingly, the food situation at CHECKinn wasn't terrible! The breakfast buffet was a bit of a free-for-all (as mentioned, the pastry section was a war zone). However, it had enough variety to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. There were plenty of options, from noodles and rice dishes to fresh fruit and pastries (the ones that were NOT currently being face-planted into). They even had a made-to-order noodle station, which my kids went WILD for. Seriously, give the kids some steamed veggies, a side of noodles and a slice of chicken. They'll love it.
The on-site restaurants were also decent. The kid's menu offered healthier alternatives. The fact they didn't just roll out the standard chicken nuggets and fries was a BIG win in my book. I even… *gasp* …enjoyed some of the food! (I might have snuck a few extra pastries from the dessert bar... don't tell.)
Tell me about the water park! My kids are obsessed. Are the slides any good? Is it ridiculously crowded?
Oh, the water park. Where the magic truly happens... and where you can also lose all sense of sanity in the best possible way. The slides? Good. Really good. My oldest, who is a bit of a daredevil, went down everything. The younger one (the pastry-plunging fiend) stuck to the splash areas, but managed to have a blast with minimal parental intervention. The lifeguards were attentive, which eased some of my anxieties (constant anxiety is a parent’s best friend). I even got to "relax" on a lazy river for, like, four glorious minutes before my youngest decided he wanted to swim upstream.
The crowds? Yes, it gets busy. Especially during peak times. But it's manageable. Honestly, it's likely that the other parents are also just trying to survive and have a good time with their little ones. The noise? Oh, the glorious noise. Screams of delight, splashes of water, the general chaos of happy kids. Bring earplugs if you need them, but consider embracing the madness. It's part of the charm. We spent most of one afternoon just lounging and going down the same slide over and over. One of the best afternoons ever.
Anything else to do BESIDES the water park?
Yes! Actually, surprisingly, there's a bunch. There is a game room, which my eldest enjoyed. There is also a small arcade, which my youngest enjoyed for 5 minutes. There are also scheduled activities. Those were fine. But the highlight was the evening. We got to watch a movie under the stars. The kids were exhausted from the day, and although they did fall asleep, they fell asleep in a way that I'll never forget. The stars were beautiful and the fact nobody was on their phone, for a change, was absolute bliss.
What was the worst part, honestly? Don't sugarcoat it.
Okay, fine. The worst part? Besides the inevitable toddler tantrum at 6:00 AM? Let's be real, that's par of the course. The *actual* worst part was probably the check-in process. It was slow. Really, *really* slow. After a long drive with two antsy kids in the car, the last thing you want is to wait in line while your youngest starts gnawing on their arm. (True story. He was hangry.) Also, the elevators could be a bit slow during peak hours. Waiting for an elevator with a screaming child is not a fun way to start a day. But hey, minor inconveniences in the grand scheme of things.
Would you go back? And... would you recommend it?
Absolutely. Without a doubt. Yes, I would go back. And yes, I 100Hotel Bliss Search
