    Not much nearby, as it's not in the main street of kenting.. but we had a car so it's only a few mins away to beaches, attractions and shops.

    Very large room, with a view of the ocean from a distant. Very nice bright room, well appointed, nice balcony, and big bath tub too. No water dispenser though, but they did provide bottled water and kettle when I asked - very responsive and kind staff. The main reception guy speaks English and gave us recommendations. Did appreciate the flexibility of a very late check-out due to illness with a modest surcharge.

    Nice place for large group of travelers. Staff were great. Views depend on which rooms you reserved. We had no views.

    Nice place. Location is convenient, near the national park, but the place is up on top of a steep hill so you must have your own car. The slant near the toilet on the bathroom on the left is a serious dangerous fall hazard. Would suggest making the slant more obviously visible, and maybe adding grab bars and more hooks in the bathrooms, and more shelves around in the bedroom areas. Beds were good, but sheets and blankets were not great quality.

    Only complaint was the bathroom facility (open shower) meant the floors for the toilet were always quite wet, so got my socks wet a few times.

    Beautiful room, stunning view on a bit of a hill. Nicely away from the main strip for a more 'remote' feeling. Super comfortable bed.

    Only on one day there was a bad drain smell in the room. Putting on the air con helped. Location is a bit far from restaurants.

    The sunset view, the view generally from the room and balcony. The room was large and beautifully set out. Bathroom was great Daily room service King size bed was very comfortable. The area is super quiet, away from the bustle

    A dog is kept day and night on a 2 meter leash about the parking lot. It gets to eat and drink, but that is about all. Would be a case for the animal protection society in most Western countries. Gases from the canalization or septic tank reflux into the room unless you use the bathtub stopper (provided). Also, there is a step in the room, unpleasant at night and a possible hazard for older people.

    Wonderful location, clean, nice staff, easy parking.

    I stayed here twice – once solo for a triathlon and once with family during the Festival – and both stays were awesome. Superb location – set quietly in the foothills of the National Park with awesome sunset views out across the ocean – and big, clean, comfortable rooms in which everything works (though more hooks in the bathrooms would be welcome). Joseph is a superb host and I cannot thank him enough for his kindness and help. Definitely worth the money and I would happily stay here again.

    Whats not to like?! It was just perfect!

    Our host was the best and went over and above to keep us happy, even offering to drive us places, organised our diving trip and sent towels and water along. We could do washing on site. The property has seaviews and the property is away from the bustle of the city life!

    Clear signage in English from the highway would make this accommodation easier to find and even more popular.

    The location was quiet. It was located upon a hill, best accessed by car, that required driving up a narrow road off the main highway. The room was open plan and comfortable with a little verandah out the back. The staff were helpful and gave us great vegetarian restaurant suggestions. Our room was super clean and the furnishings modern and we liked the free access to washing and drying our clothes.

    Staff were excellent. Very friendly and accommodating. The hotel area is lovely. The rooms are excellent (I happened to stay in two different rooms). The location makes it so that reaching it on foot would be tedious. I'm unsure of how good the local bus option are, but if you choose to use a personal vehicle, such as a scooter, the location is excellent. It's right in the center. You have beaches on your left and right. On the West side you'll find Hengchun, which is a short 15 minutes drive away. Here you can easily find a good breakfast. To the East you have the night market and more attractions, all of which are a short drive away.

    The room was so very nice, cozy, and clean! The staff was the sweetest and most helpful (from the start to the end). The property is about a 30-minute walk from downtown, but the staff offered to drive us multiple times, which was a very great service! I would recommend this place if you go to Kenting because it was an amazing stay and we felt very welcome!
