South Beach hotels & places to stay

We stayed with Just Hi for 3 nights and we love this B&B. The owner's family is very friendly and welcoming. The room we booked is the romantic sea view at the corner. We can see the sunset along the horizon from our room and bath room. It is perfectly located at the very end of South bay which escaped from noisy tourists and the Kenting night market. We highly recommend this lovely B&B to people going to Kenting.

We booked a 4 persons seaview room. Unexpectedly they upgraded us to a 2 level family flat. we were so happy. The scenery is excellent facing South bay. Within 5 min walk u can jump into the beach.n South Bay is full of people playing water activities. Not much restaurants around. u better go to the main Kenting street to eat. breakfast is in simple buffet type. good room, food and location. The is a bus terminal near 7-11 where u can go to White sand beach by blue line bus, go to the most beautiful beach in Kenting or go to have a seafood lunch and submarine boat in 後壁湖.

Probably the best hotel that I have ever lived ! The hotel is newly built and every facility is like brand new. The location is so convenient and it embraces the sea view of south beach. I sincerely thanks the staff for their hospitality and the breakfast they put their efforts to cook for the guest especially thanks to vivi who has helped arranging a birthday surprise to our friend ! Strongly recommend to all tourist who likes to spend their valuable time to see the good of kenting !

We had been in Taipei for one week before our visit to Swan Lake, this is totally different from our week in Taipei. In Swan Lake you can here birds and other animals day and night. No motor bikes just peace and quiet. The weiv from the balcony is beautiful, the Swans swinning around in the lake and pigeons flying in the air. There is Swimming pool, spa pool and hot spring spa pool so you can chose wich pool you want to try. Bus stop is just 2 minutes walk from the hotel and it´s really cheap to travel by bus, it takes 10 minutes with bus to reach Kenting city. 10-15 minutes walk to reach the real beach "South Bay". No restaurant in the hotel but you have big Seven eleven across the street that keep you more than alive, they have nearly everything, you can also visit restaurant Amanda, 5 minutes walk. I am very satisfied with my stay at Swan Lake and I will go there again. Minus is the color on the water in the Swan lake it´s looks really dirty, but iy seems like the birds and fish likes it For your info: it´s the same price to take a taxi(400NT/pers)from the train station in Koashung as the bus, so I recommend taxi, it takes around 2 hours to reach Swan Lake with taxi. If you have 4-10 years old children they will really like this place, but it´s also a romantic place for you and your partner.

I highly recommend this place for stay. The facility is a fairly new development so everything is in top condition. This is by far one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed at. I had stayed at a different hotel the first night; it was so filthy. Ktzyx was cheaper and gave me a good memory on my Kenting visit. The owner is friendly and super helpful. He helped us arrange for electric bike rental and our ride to the high speed rail station. The only thing I could nitpick is the location. It's a bit hard to find at fist as it's hidden away in a more residential area of town. But to be honest, it's a great location as it's between Kenting and Hengchun township, about 15 minutes from either location on our electric bike. So it's equally close to both attractions. And not to mention there is the best breakfast restaurant called Brunch just down the block.

This guesthouse is very cute and a lot of love was put into the facilities. The rooms have a hot water maker, flat screen TV with some English channels, aircon and fan, mini-fridge, a separate shower and circular bathtub from the toilet, a comfortable mattress and fun and romantic mood lighting. Overall, way above your average backpacking spot. Nanwan is much more relaxed than Kenting, but also has less amenities. It was perfect for us. There are a few very good restaurants. Bossa Nova is close and offers excellent food and reasonably priced wine. We booked for a night and stayed for a week.

We love this charming and cozy place! The owner couple (and their dog and three cats) are very friendly and helpful. This place is very close to the Ma An Shan bus station and it is walkable to Nan Wan beach. There aren’t many restaurants nearby but we could take bus to Heng Chun or Kenting for food. I think Kenting is too busy to stay and Heng Chun is a bit old to stay, so this location is good if you don’t mind to take transit. Next time I will probably stay here again and learn surfing from the owners.

Located across the road from the beach, the Qing Song Homestay is something of a misnomer, since the lobby is a shopfront with regular staff (swim suites anyone?) and the rooms are accessed through an apparently never locked small sliding door at the side. My room was on the third floor, past the (free) washing machine. Since it was at the back of the building, I had no view, but the room was large and cheerfully decorated. Breakfast was nothing special, sometimes just a voucher to the nearby Seven-11, but that way you have a choice of products. It's only a 3 minute walk to the bus stops on both sides of the road, where you can catch express, shuttle and local buses. Kenting Park is a 10 minute ride in one direction and the city of Henchung, 20 minutes in the other. The staff were excellent!

Our sole purpose of going to Kenting was to SWIM, but the place is a bit far from the sea and we had to do 20 mins walk to the Nanwan Beach daily. The place would be better if there is a proper reception where we can find assistance easier. We saw people like Taiwan Local residents around , we were confused if they were the receptionists. The place is surround by trees, I would understand why we have seen twice small roaches in the room and twice down on the ground floor, much bigger ones! The host was helpful, trying to change a less noise and less smoky room for us. I guess the residents smoke in the early morning, we could smell smoke from 6am to 11am. The hostess helped us arrange a two-way transfer, in which we paid much less from Kaohsuing to Kenting. The return trip was delayed (the driver was late for almost one hour), we missed the chance to visit Chocolate Republic in Tao Yuan! But the driver gave us a refund, that help to gain a credit for Lunar Sea B&B.

A lovely stay at the Spoonndrift Hostal during my vocation in Kenting. Firstly, it very convenience if you are planning to go to the beach because it just right across it. Secondly, I booked a sea view room and it was beautiful. The room was well furnished,very comfort and clean. Staffs were also very friendly and they allowed me to park my car right in front of their hostal as looking for a parking is quite difficult in Kenting. Highly recommended and would come back if I visited Kenting again.

It’s a very cottage like inn, literally across from the beach and steps away from the bus stop. The receptionist was very friendly, helpful with everything, and explained to us all the near by sites & activities. English is very limited so talk slowly or use google translate. The room is very homy but the bathroom can flood a bit so watch the shower head and where it points. The water recedes quickly after so not too much worry.

First glance is not that appealing...need some upkeep on the outside and front. This place run more like a B&B, service hours is around 0800 until 1900. We were there for 3 nights, most of the time services are provided by mother and daughter team. Neither speak English and we did not speak Chinese, so both side use translate app a lot. All was well. Room was big, clean, has balcony but has jazzcuzi outside on balcony which we did not use, except as seat to enjoy sunset and ocean views with coffee in morning and drinks at night. Convenient to beach, just walk across the street is start of beach; close to bus stop to take to Eluanbi, Kenting, Henchun, or the Aquarium....can get to most places easily by lical buses which run fairky often. Limited choices for breakfast, but very good and more than fill you up. Even have Heinz ketchup and Tobasco. Some small eats close by. 7/11 store just down the street for emergency. We would choose this again.

Stayed here 3 years ago and was touched by the hospitality of the owner and his family. Came back to visit them again. The location is quite central and the owner helped a lot with the transport and renting of a bike and planning to travel around the place. Provided an itinerary as well as list of places to eat. The place is very clean with wifi and an awesome view of the ocean as the accommodation is right in front of the beach. Would highly recommend this place to people coming to kenting for a visit. I will definitely be back here again in the future!

I was so impressed by how well this small hotel is decorated and maintained by its owners, a local couple. Everything in this hotel is so lovely and make me feel home, a even better home than my own. The breakfasts we had there were simple but very nice. Only few things worth concern: it's a 15-20 mins walk to Nan Wan beach, and if you don't rent a car/bike, it's kinda expensive to take taxi to go anywhere; there is no elevator in the hotel, so if you travel with elders or carry big suitcases it may be a bit difficult.

They are running a family business. They provide the best services to the guest such as being as a tour guide. Besides, they will advise and give comments on your itinerary. You can also book their car service which can bring you go anywhere. The car rental is really reasonable. Beside their boss, Mr. Wang is really a nice person to introduce the site seeing point. They also provide the place for you to BBQ, quite comfortable. Highly Recommended.

Nice atmosphere, good infrastructure and friendly staff. In low season you can really enjoy the nice place, chill at the beach or in the hostel's restaurant and get to know the family. Surfing is very good, since there are multiple spots not far away. Food and drinks are also very good and enjoyable. No matter why you go there, you will always find the right thing to do, also shopping in the owner's own surf shop!

The biggest problem about the hotel is the location, because it is located farther away from the night market and all the beaches. It’s too far to walk, but if you have a car it should be no problem. The hotel itself is within an apartment complex, which is watched by some slightly questionable people (girls might be slightly more wary, though they didn’t bother us at all). The hotel itself was pretty clean, but since it isn’t particularly new, it didn’t feel as clean compared to some other hotels. The staff was nice and helpful, but just didn’t contact me until the day before. I didn’t hear any confirmation about my stay, but at least it all worked out. They do provide slippers, towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, and a hair dryer, which is great for its price. All in all, this was a great selection for its price. If you have more money to spare, then maybe pick a hotel with a slightly better location.

Location: No sign(in Chinese nor English) viewable from the road. quite difficult to find. Staff: Friendly staff. Helpful. But inconsiderate and loud at night. loud music, yelling and slamming doors. The Room: Clean, cold A/C, ALOT of ants. Not sure why it's called "Bed and Breakfast" when there is no breakfast served and not a single restaurant within 3km of the facility. Overall decent in a pinch, but good value for money, it is not.
