Hengchun hotellia

Plussat: We liked especially the surrounding area, super friendly & helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, view from the room (ocean view), free shuttle service

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I almost cancelled my trip due to the typhoon but ended up with a shorter trip with only one night here at Gloria Manor, and was happy with my decision. Close to the main drag of Kenting, and a short drive to many scenic spots, Gloria Manor is up on the hill and surrounded by beautiful trees and lush foliage, a peaceful enclave with small but sleek rooms, room 1320 had a perfect view of the pool, the ocean in the distant, a magical symmetry for people like me that love mountains, hills and ocean. The hotel is eco friendly ie no single use plastic water bottles, plastic straws etc. Staff were welcoming and extremely helpful, ie I mentioned my tire pressure warning light was on, the staff immediately checked my tires and called a tyre shop for help. Food choices at the restaurant were quite limited but ingredients very fresh as mostly sourced locally. Staff were sweet but need more training. Ie wine poured without giving me a little taste of it first. I asked for gin tonic and was given ginger ale. Guess I’m picky but when paying close to usd300 a night, would expect standards to be higher.

Miinukset: F&B staff are very nice but need more training for the prices charged

Plussat: High quality hotel in terms of hardware and services!

Plussat: The atmosphere, quietness, the nature surroundings, beautiful building, activities organized by the hotel. Great for couples and family.

Miinukset: Not much

Plussat: Swimming pool

Miinukset: No

Plussat: The facilities, thoughtful services (free activities, free shuttle down to the Main Street/market, very good selection of breakfasts included in the price.

Miinukset: The AC started to drip and caused a fairly large puddle in the doorway of my room, that I slipped in and hurt my arm. The Room manager and staff were apologetic and upgraded me to another room. This was good of them

Plussat: Beautiful quiet location surrounded by nature with an excellent view of the ocean from the sea view rooms. The breakfast was very good, the facilities beautiful and the pool large, clean and great for laps. The only caveat is that the pool closes way too early, at 6:30PM, which is basically at the same time the beach closes so it did not leave any time to go swimming after a day of activities. You also have to wear a swim-cap in this pool and the hotel offers these for sale at an decent price. I see other reviews mentions yoga but the hotel only offers yoga on Saturdays and Sundays, not any other days of the week. The shuttle service to town and the beach is good but beware: Kenting beaches often closes to swimming so if you're planning on going swimming in the ocean, I would not go to Kenting for that again. There was a Typhoon a week before we arrived, which may have been a reason the beaches were closed but by Western standards this seemed overly cautious. The staff was very courteous and accommodating but some staff members spoke minimal English, causing a couple of confusions in the restaurant.

Miinukset: The pool closes too early at 6:30PM, basically the same time the sun sets.

Plussat: View and service are awesome.

Miinukset: I prefer meal served with buffet.

Plussat: - location - great room and facility quality and soundproof - nice pool - Cleaniness

Miinukset: - set breakfast takes way too long - staff is not professional enough for the price - gym is not a gym but a treadmill and a stepper. No space for exercise - swim cap duty is completely outdated - way overpriced for what you get

Plussat: The kindness of the hosts, the room clean, big and with nice sea view. The very good breakfast. The location, calm and close to the sea.

Plussat: Nice and very clean room, with good quality towels and sheets. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: We didn't have very good experience with staff, the owner was drunk when we arrived in the evening and was quite rude.

Plussat: Beautiful location. Would totally recommend. First of all, Jia Le Shui is like the secret place that nobody seems to know about! Hardly any tourists! 25 mins down the road in downtown Kenting we were shocked to find thousands of people walking the night market. Jia Le Shui is nothing like that. Totally peaceful. The family who runs this place are very kind! Bruce even set us up to grill one night, even set the outdoor picnic table for us and provided us with a cutting board, knife, spices, plates etc so that we could grill our fresh fish. He’s a very good person. Delicious breakfast every morning with fresh fruit. Beautifully done rooms, very modern. Awesome bathtub.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The hotel is very nice, super good breakfast and very close to surf beach. The owner is very nice and helpful

Plussat: The staff were just oh so friendly. Room was lovely and comfortable. Distance from the main drag meant it was quiet - a sanctuary in fact!

Miinukset: Nothing. It was a brilliant place to stay. But... If you're being picky, I suppose the views from the room is a bit 'urban'!

Plussat: This place has everything you need to have the most perfect vacation - clean and big room with balcony, great facilities, cute and cozy restaurant (which turns into a bar at night), awesome location at a quiet alley right next to the Main Street where you can find all sorts of restaurants and pubs, and last but definitely not the least, super friendly and helpful staff. They have done all things possible to make sure our stay is as perfect as possible, including a very warm welcome note right after we made our booking offering to make travel arrangements for us from Kaohsiung to Kenting. Breakfast is complimentary and tastes amazing. On days when we would be missing breakfast (which starts at 8:30 am) because we had to leave early for diving / surfing classes, the host very considerately gave us two breakfast vouchers for takeaway at a nearby cafe. The host also prepared snacks before our departure so we could enjoy them on our two-hour bus ride to Kaohsiung airport on the last day. It must also be mentioned how helpful the staff were in helping me get hold of a charging cable for my camera when I realised I didn’t pack it with me. Apart from all the help we have received during our stay, we have also enjoyed chatting with the staff, they are super approachable, kind and friendly people. Overall, we have had the best time staying with the Deer Head Inn, and would definitely recommend it!

Plussat: Staff, location, breakfast and design

Miinukset: The bed is a bit too soft

Plussat: Everything was great!

Plussat: Nice decor and atmosphere created with excellent customer service

Plussat: Such a great find! Beautifully done interiors; there's a cafe, and even free coffee. The location is bang next to the night market which is awesome. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Big shout out to the gentleman at the desk who loves India (wish I remembered his name). The room was gorgeous. And the deck/balcony is great for a nightcap.

Plussat: close to beach, room spacious&clean

Miinukset: very close to the beach and nightmarket, but unfortunately a bit noisy and with a view on a messy backyard...

Plussat: This was such a nice surprise! It is more of a boutique hotel, very stylish and decorated with close attention to details. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious and we also had a balcony. The breakfast is delicious and very well presented. The bar has a good selection of Belgian beers. Overall, we were immediately put in a relaxed and peaceful mood by the overall relaxed vibe of the rooms and common areas. The property is close to the night market and shops. However, it is on a quiet street. There is also a parking lot in front of the building . This is one of those rare occasions where you have nothing bad to say about the experience.

Plussat: The staff was very kind and helpful. Beach where you can swim is 10 min by walk and they borrow us beach towels. Good location, near night market but room was quite, near bus stop. They have their own bar with drinks. Breakfast was delicious. I recommend!

Plussat: Very cosy place where you feel relax. Very nice and helpfull staff. Rooms are great with all necessary equipments. We recommend.

Plussat: -Very friendly staff -Close to beach (dont recommend to snorkel here if you expect too see corals or fishes, it’s all sand) but this beach is not too busy to chill. -Quiet and not too far from the main Kenting night market street by scooter. -7-11 is pretty close by too -Specious room with huge natural light -Nice balcony -Good shower and bathtub -Comfy bed and sofa -HUGE TV -Clean and simple design which we like a lot -Water fountain to fill up the bottles -Room cleaning service everyday -Good isolation

Plussat: Modern, comfortable, friendly reception, steps from the beach. A great find!

Plussat: Amazing staff, beautiful facility and grounds

Miinukset: Proximity to restaurants

Plussat: Beautiful large room. Delicious breakfasts and dinners.

Miinukset: Isolated location made it difficult for us to go out easily at night. Would benefit from additional amenities like swimming pool. Not as close to beach as I anticipated.

Plussat: The staff is very nice and helpful.

Miinukset: The sink in bathroom leaks water, which is wet all the time and you cannot keep your feet dry there. Single room is too small. Sheets and towels are quite old. Power sockets are not international.

Plussat: The location: very close to the central road. The staff is very friendly and helpful and everything was very clean.

Miinukset: Breakfast was included but could be improved. Only sandwich, tea and piece of fruit. Some coffee would be appreciated

Plussat: Very nice location. The breakfast each morning were delicious!!! The owners are super friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: One thing I didn’t like was the smell Elm smell so make sure you turn on the air refresher 24/7.

Plussat: Ocean Star B&B exceeded our expectations in everything.The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful.The room is very beautiful and clean, with big balcony and a beautiful view. The bed very comfortable. The building is just 2 minutes away from the main street where the night market is and also a scooter rental shop. the small parking just in front of the B&B but enough to park the scooter. The breakfast prepared by the owners was delicious.We definitely will come back here next time :) Thank you for everything!

Miinukset: We did like everything.

Plussat: Friendliness of the staff, even if they could not speak English. Location : very close to Kenting street, but enough away to be really quiet. Parking space available.

Plussat: The location wasvery good, 3 minutes from the main street, where the night market and restaurants are, but in a very quiet area. There is a small terrace in front of the hotel.

Miinukset: The breakfast was a bit basic, you eat what you get, no buffet. But it was sufficient.

Plussat: This lovely family run B&B is perfect for everyone visiting Kenting. It's very close to the Main Street and quiet at night too. The owners are super nice and made us feel at home, helped us renting a bike, gave us a lot useful tips too. We'd recommend this place to everyone and will definitely come back again. Thanks!

Plussat: The room is very clean and the place is very accessible.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The staff is super friendly and helpful and they speak great English. The hotel is close to the national Park and bus stops are just steps away. The nightly market is right outside the hotel. You can rent scooters from the hotel oh, they have free ramen noodles, tea and coffee. There was a hot and cold water cooler right outside my door. It was nice having an inexpensive room to myself after staying in hostels for many months. So no snorers or late/early risers to keep me awake. My room even had a TV.

Miinukset: With only one toilet sometimes it meant a bit of a wait.

Plussat: Service was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. They even did our laundry at no charge!

Miinukset: Some guests were a bit noisy late in the evening and early morning but not the fault of the hotel.

Plussat: This hostel is located right on the centre of the main Kending street (where the night market is). This means there's an abundance of food and things happening around the hostel. It is also only a 10 minute motorbike ride away from Nan Wan beach. The hostel staff are incredibly friendly and helpful too.

Plussat: There is complementary drinks / cup noodles and location

Miinukset: The bed cleanliness

Plussat: I like the snacks they provided.

Plussat: the location is nice and staff is nice. We have great time here. if have chance to visit, we will office choose here.

Plussat: Excellent location and value for money, well equipped and super clean! We enjoyed the balcony too. But, the best was the host, Vincent. He really made us feel welcome, and was most kind and considerate host. Thank you Vincent!

Plussat: great location. right behind the busy street. quiet accommodation.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Good location near beach and night market. Nice American breakfast served.

Miinukset: Bed is a bit hard. Nearest Car parking is near the beach.

Plussat: perfect home for doing very little on holiday

Miinukset: poor quality material or bed sheets

Plussat: Front desk staff was SUPER helpful, even booked our area tour. When the room had any issue, they fixed it fast. Location was terrific, and the property was obviously gutted and renovated. Quite modern, cute and clean. Last but not least, breakfast was really great. The day we had to leave early for a tour, the owner packed us a box breakfast!

Miinukset: The bed was fairly hard. Not unbearably so (I could sleep), but I woke up sore. Also, in our room, the shower hinge space needed a better seal -- we flooded our bathroom the first day!

Plussat: Great location, nice and central but off the Main Street so not noisy at all. The staff are so lovely and helped us to make arrangements for buses. The delicious breakfast changes daily.

Miinukset: We had a balcony, but no chairs out there to enjoy it!

Plussat: It was located at convenient and easy to go to night market everything. Clean bed, kind people.. all good!

Miinukset: Only thing if I would say was you can easily to hear the sounds in outside.

Plussat: The staff were realy nice and helpful and our room was very quite!

Miinukset: The restaurants nearby are more average.

Plussat: Next to the beach and the night market & main road, but not noise at all.

Miinukset: Hard to find a car park @ the public holiday period.

Plussat: Great location, pretty room and a good view

Plussat: NO BREAKFAST IN THIS RESORT BUT YOU CAN HAVE IT IN MANY OF THE NEARBY SHOPS

Miinukset: THEY DONT ACCEPT CREDIT CARD. MUST PAY IN CASH.

Miinukset: Dont have drink water in room ( but got drinking water machine outside)

Plussat: Great location and really friendly staff.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: No breakfast

Plussat: The staff were all so friendly, one of them couldn’t speak English but they came up to our room with google translate so they can help us. Staff were all so great and the room was very nice. Right next to Kenting street too, but very quiet.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful family renting their beautiful rooms or appartments. Good location.

Plussat: Check in was a breeze and the staff was extremely nice and helpful.

Miinukset: The bed was too soft!

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast

Plussat: Great please to stay, very comfortable and very nice staf

Plussat: The beds were big and comfotable and the property is beautiful. We were able to book cars through the hosts and could borrow their bicycles for free.

Miinukset: The house can be a little deep into the street (around 650m) So itll be good to inform them before walking into the road so that they can arrange for transport if you dont mind walking

Plussat: Spacious room with two washroom comfortable for 5 to 6 pax. With breakfast to your room

Plussat: Great service and nice staff.

Plussat: Beds were very comfortable . Nice music in the evening.

Plussat: Everything!!!!

Miinukset: The pool is little bit small

Plussat: Great style

Plussat: Moroccan style carries thoroughly throughout hotel. The room was spacious, clean and beautiful with a large tub outside on a patio with privacy. The staff was fantastic: friendly, helpful and charming. Weekend brunch was buffet style with good options.

Miinukset: Weekday breakfast was a little weird.

Plussat: Just an excellent stay, everything was just right, great facilities and the room was fantastic! Not to mention the staff, we haven’t experienced more service friendly staff in a very long time!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Super aesthetic and exotically designed.

Miinukset: The food isn’t very good. The music was also unfit for dinner.

Miinukset: The bed is too soft to support the exhausted body.

Plussat: Everything was perfect.

Plussat: Nice mountain view from the balcony ánd bathroom! Room was really clean. Friendly daughter at the counter, she speaks good English. Nice location. At the nightmarket Street and little bay beach nearby.

Miinukset: No safety box in the room. We had a room with a bath and a shower. It would be nice to have a possibility to hang the showerhead. Now you need to keep it in your hand while taking a shower (or take a bath).

Plussat: Nice and spacious room. Bathroom with a view towards the national park was nice. The location is amazing for the night market (which was probably our favourite night market of whole Taiwan). There are plenty shops nearby to rent a scooter (try to find atleast a 100cc to easily climb the steep terrain to get to the park)

Plussat: The view of the room is fantastic. The breakfast is very nice and the staff are very nice too. It just a few walk to the beach, so you don't need to bring anything with you to the beach.

Miinukset: Since we stay in the top floor, it will be a little hot in the summer when you come back from elsewhere.

Plussat: The rooms are very comfortable and clean! Staff are very helpful and nice! Everything here is super nice!

Plussat: Nice architecture and decor especially the room with sea view; excellent location to go to Fanchuan beach.

Miinukset: Breakfast is a bit simple...maybe more fruits n salad.

Plussat: The view from the room was fantastic, as was the breakfast in the morning. It is right on the beach though you would really want transport to get to local towns and sights. There is not much that happens there at night.

Plussat: Nice place, good location, Room was good size. Welcoming staff. Breakfast was simple & home cooked. Very helpful and friendly. Scooter rental next door. Beachfront location. Not near main area but close enough. Room had nice shower Balcony was nice.

Miinukset: Everything was good!

Plussat: Marvellous breakfast. Great view. Friendly staff. Clean environment. The clothes-drying machine is a thoughtful touch.

Miinukset: Though the overall experience is quite nice, it is not nice enought for such expensive price. The toilet is easily clogged and staffs are not 24-hour present. If you cannot drive and have to depend on public transportation, such location is quite inconvenient.

Plussat: Staff was very nice and property was beautiful

Miinukset: The pool jets and fountain did not work

Plussat: The staff were quite friendly and helpful. The location is quite close to where everything goes on. And transportation is convenient.

Miinukset: The breakfast is below average compared with 5 star hotels elsewhere. The villa is downstairs to the hotel, so on the upstairs there are actually a lot of hotel guests who make quite a lot of noise. Also the indoor private pool is not private, because from the upstairs you can actually see everything.

Plussat: The staff was wonderful!!!

Plussat: The location is quite nice, very close to the night market in Kenting. The staff are doing their best and the outdoor jacuzzi was very nice.

Miinukset: I’m not sure where to start... We really wanted to give this place a go and after lots of research in the Kenting area I felt this might be a good choice. It’s by far the worst hotel in terms of value for money and is definitely not a five star hotel by European standards. I knew that most reviews mentioned the hotel that this belongs to and the fact that it was outdated and depressing but that wasn’t the case of the villas. We really felt this applied to the villas as well, as the design is definitely at least 20 years old and most of the facilities were very old. For example, none of the sockets worked for our European or Mainland devices in this hotel, even though we had no problems in more modern hotels in Taiwan. The staff did provide adaptors when we asked for these. The villas have two breakfast options, one in the main hotel and one in a lounge for villa guests. We tried both over our stay and they are both very Asian focused with a lot of processed meat. Starbucks is just around the corner though, so we used that a few times during our 6 day stay. We also felt that while the room was generally clean, the staff awareness of what is clean or problematic was quite concerning. For example, one morning a very big bug was flying in the breakfast lounge area and when we told the staff about it we got a slightly dismissive okay back and nothing seemed to be done about it. On that same note, the deer farm as it is called is a very upsetting small zoo that’s next to the main restaurant and that you can pay to feed. The animal rights issues that this entails is one thing, but the smells are another one... The dampness in the rooms is definitely an issue as well. Because the villas are in the basement of the hotel, there is little sunlight and on the two nights when it rained our dehumidifier filled up in a couple of hours. If you have any breathing issues, I would not recommend staying here although it’s great that the hotel provides a dehumidifier.

Plussat: Private pool, outdoor jacuzzi

Miinukset: Humidity and damp smell. Rather than a real detached villa, this is actually the ground floor of Howard Beach Resort with a backyard. Hotel guests upstairs can still look down to see what you are doing in the backyard.

Plussat: We knew there was a private pool, but when we walked into the room and looked into the garden and private pool area, we both WOWed as it is so beautifully done. It was so lovely having a private pool. After a long day of touring the countryside, it was so nice taking a dip in the pool with a glass of wine and relax. The design of the patio is fantastic. The lobby for the Howard Villa is also very quiet and serene. The employees are fantastic and kind. They go above and beyond.

Miinukset: The sitting area of the room is not comfortable. Did not like the chairs at all. The bathroom has a weird colorful plastic chair and laundry bin which is completely mismatched to the rest of the room.

Plussat: Close to beach and night market. Room was great!

Miinukset: Couch and chairs in room not too comfortable. Pool was great but jets did not work.

Plussat: Small cozy place. really close to the beach and 7-eleven... They let you use the washer machine for free! Staff super friendly!

Plussat: It's only a few walks away from the beach.

Miinukset: The hallway's odor was a bit off for me.

Plussat: Large room and bathroom, very good and clean bed Every day a different and excellent breakfast Nice decoration and furniture A very friendly host

Plussat: Super friendly staff and good location by the bus stop. They also organise Scooter rentals

Plussat: The location is good

Miinukset: They charge us 1000 extra than we booked on the web and even though I hv then confirmation email showing the price they ignored. The staff ask me to email agoda or booking.com for query . That is ridiculous. The air con is dripping all night like raining and the the air con is not cool at night, it automatically fixed at 28 degree. No carpark slot, u need to wait for parking slot on the street.

Plussat: Everything!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Home stay near kenting local street.

Plussat: Friendly owner, good location

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: Hotel is a little old. Narrow access road to hotel. Small garage barely can take 4 vehicles though the owner will help to park the vehicle if requested. Coffee machine not working during breakfast and the owner only suggest that we make our own instant coffee back in our rooms.

Plussat: The location was excellent as it is immediately across the road from Little Bay Beach and a 5 minute walk to the main night market and shops. The staff were friendly and could speak English on reception. The food on the breakfast buffet was good. The small beach bar across the road has nice views of the ocean. Lunch in the lobby area was good (we had fried rice and a club sandwich).

Miinukset: Having stayed at the Ceasar Park hotel in Banqiao, we were disappointed with this hotel in Kenting as it was not up to the same standard. Considering the price, there were some areas that could be improved: - the hotel in general is quite old and tired looking. The images on the website are not accurate - the bathroom was not cleaned during our stay (just tidied) - the balcony in our room was dirty, the ground had not been cleaned or even swept - although we had paid for 3 adults, at the beach the staff said we could only use 2 sun beds - taxis organised by the hotel are double the price (we just walked out to the front and took a taxi) - we wanted to eat outside in the sunshine for breakfast but there were no tables set up out there and the doors from the restaurant were mostly locked so we had to walk around a long way carrying our food

Plussat: Great place to stay and rest in Kenting, fantastic facilities, clean rooms, tasty breakfast, nice swimming pool, definetely recomend!

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Everything there

Plussat: We had a private yacuzzi Nice garden

Miinukset: Pool is much smaller than on the foto Beach area is very small Pool bar closes very early

Plussat: Pool, location, has its own beach, coin laundry

Miinukset: Old, badly designed room, thoughtless - no hooks to hang towels or side tables to place items. Useless overdesigned balcony facing the car park, waste of space.

Plussat: Location is good; right next to night market and path to beach. Front desk staff was very helpful. Room was clean. We liked the jacuzzi on the patio and entrance to the pool area. Breakfast was good and they seated us quickly even though they were very busy. We were able to park at the hotel, which was a plus. Our room had 2 double beds which we shared (2 adults and 2 children).

Miinukset: The hallways are in desperate need of a paint job and replacement carpet. For the size of the room it was extremely expensive. Although we did stay over a big holiday weekend. Need more umbrellas and chairs at the beach during busy times so hotel guests do not have to wait for a place.

Plussat: Delicious breakfast and beautiful swimming pool

Plussat: The ambient in and out of the room is wonderful.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Very comfy bed, beautiful bathroom, superbly friendly staff, perfect location

Miinukset: hard to think of anything

Plussat: Very calm, clean and comfortable. Bathrooms especially lovely, and the location is perfect for exploring kenting!

Miinukset: There were ants all over my room and the housekeeping didn't change the sheets or provide extra soap. The location was good but not worth dealing with ants in your bed and clothes every day.
