[quote=“Mucha (Muzha) Man”]Went to the Spring in Beitou. Nice place but not very romantic as it is very geared toward families. Tried to have a romantic dinner in the Japanese restaurant but could not with all the noise and activity from children.

Yes, unfortunately, noise and activity is usually the norm at any hot spring resort on the weekend, as it is at any popular spot in Taipei. We generally prefer to frequent them during the week, usually on say a Wednesday to have a mid-week break. If you’re looking for privacy and the presence of children and families is a factor, I’d suggest avoiding most any place in and around Taipei on the weekend!
By the way, to build on what Grayson mentioned, you’re more likely to find a better deal and even possibly be given a better room with a bigger bath when you go during the week. From personal experience, I find that they are quite generous toward their return customers.
Sorry you had a bad experience; timing is everything. Hope it goes better next time.
