Hotels bij Maobitou Park, Pingtung

De kamer met zeezicht waarin we verbleven, lag super dicht bij het strand! Je hoefde alleen maar de straat over te steken en je was er bijna! Het was zo comfortabel! (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) De eigenaren waren ook allemaal erg aardig! Het is ook heel dicht bij de hoofdstraat van Kenting met de auto.

Het hotel zelf is over het algemeen prima. Er is een grote en erg leuke speeltuin voor kinderen, hoewel die tijdens de lunch sluit. Het nabijgelegen strand is heel anders dan op de foto's op de website van het hotel – het is beter om af te gaan op de foto's in de recensies. Het ontbijt zou voor deze prijs ook aanzienlijk beter kunnen. De grootste teleurstelling was het personeel, met name bij de receptie. Bij het inchecken kregen we geen informatie over de programma's of het beschikbare entertainment. Toen we een dag eerder moesten vertrekken vanwege ziekte, vroeg niemand waarom of bood niemand aan om ons ontbijt te vergoeden. Het leek vreemd dat hoe hoger de sterrenclassificatie van een hotel in Taiwan, hoe minder aandacht er aan de gasten wordt besteed. Ter vergelijking: we verbleven in Kaohsiung voor 1100 TWD per nacht en de service daar was veel beter. Dit is geen klaagzang, maar eerder een teleurstelling. We hoopten op een ontspannen vakantie weg van de drukte van grote steden, maar we zijn uiteindelijk eerder uit dit hotel vertrokken en teruggegaan naar de stad.

The owner of the hostel is super friendly, and goes extra miles to help guests. The hostel is at a great location, easy access to the beach for diving and snorkeling.

A lovely, quaint inn very near the beach road. It wasn’t too busy when I was there, so I felt it was very quiet I the room and the area. The owners are a friendly older couple with limited English, but they were helpful and polite. Short walking distance to the night market in the evening, and also a short 5-min walk to the bus stop where you can get to and from Kaohsiung or nearby town Hengchun. The room is fairly large and had a small balcony. Comfortable bed, good water pressure, bigger sink and counter area in the bathroom than expected. I’d stay again.

I recently stayed at 35.5 Inn in Kenting Xiaowan, and overall, I had a very positive experience. The rooms were exceptionally clean, and the amenities provided were good. Everything was well-maintained, making my stay comfortable. The location is fantastic—the hotel is right next to the Kenting Night Market, which is held daily. This makes it incredibly convenient for food, shopping, and entertainment. Additionally, a scooter rental shop is located right next door, offering both regular and electric scooters, making it easy to explore the area. One aspect that could be improved is the check-in process. Unfortunately, check-in is only available from 4:00 PM, which can be inconvenient for travelers arriving earlier. A potential improvement would be to provide guests with the door code in advance, allowing early check-in if the room is already available. In my case, my room was unoccupied before my arrival, so this could have been an easy solution. Overall, I highly recommend 35.5 Inn for its cleanliness, great location, and accessibility to transport options. If they refine their check-in process, it would be an even better experience!

Fu Bin met my needs very well. Very welcoming staff, who are a family. They did laundry for me and gave me hangers to dry, and they didn't want to charge for the laundry. That saved me valuable time and made my first trip to Kenting better utilised. Everything at Fu Bin was as described, and they supplied a bowl and cutlery very promptly. It's easy to communicate with the staff by WhatsApp (or wechat, i can't remember) if you don't want to go downstairs. For the price I feel the facilities are fine. No lift, limited view of the night market, decent air con, but I didn't need it all the time anyway. They were relaxed but efficient, and this made me feel more relaxed. I walked to the lovely small beach for swimming, 10 minutes past the night market and in front of Caesar Hotel. The NM is fairly typical of Taiwan and not as co gestsd as the HK ones. I felt well priced for ”Western” currency (£) although TW people are not using Kenting for holidays so much these days. I swum at sunset for the first two days and early morning the third day. It's the best beach I have encountered in 60 years! The Caesar outdoors bar has some groovy music in the evenings, and I recommend having a drink there to finish your sunset swim. It's clean and idyllic. Overall, my experience of Kenting was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful people, great facilities and beautiful flora and fauna. The history and places of indigenous people are worth checking out, especially if you have your own transport. I hope business is good for you all. Tsiu tsiu!

The room is spacious with large bed, the location is a bit further but with a scooter it’s still within easy access to anywhere. The place feels serene. Only thing is check out at 11 if it can be 12 than it will be great!

No bidet spray, hand soap, hair conditioner, shower cap, toothbrush, toothpaste etc. but there’s water dispenser on every level so saved us some money from buying bottled water. Overall it is still provide pretty comfortable stay & good base to be at for exploring Kenting & Hengchun. It’s easy to find this hotel. From Taoyuan airport we took Airport Express Train to Taoyuan HSR (High Speed Rail) station & took HSR to Zuoying THSR in Kaohsiung, then took Kenting Express Bus 9189 at bus stop #2 along the road outside of Zuoying THSR station (need to top up enough fare in your Easy Travel card at the station beforehand otherwise pay cash to bus driver). Alight at Kenting Police Substation bus stop (get ready to press the bell once you pass Kenting Arch otherwise driver won’t stop for you) & walk into small lane walk a short distance to the back door of Kenting Coast Resort. There’s a restaurant called Magic Kitchen for quick breakfast a very short walk to the right of hotel front door. We managed to book half day (4-hr) tour with the help hotel receptionist on both days, just tell the driver where you want to go for sighting/experience/food. We paid NTD 2200 for each half-day tour. We actually checked out early in the morning on the last day & did a 4-hr tour of Hengchun old town with our luggages in the car & get dropped off at Hengchun interchange bus station to catch Kenting Express Bus back to Zuoying THSR. But we discovered actually you can deposit luggages at the Hengchun interchange bus station for a fee then walk around Hengchun old town yourselves without worrying about lugging luggages around haha.

Hotel is localted in front of the sea, the views are amazing! The room is not that big but it is comfortable and the bed too. The bathroom is also really good and spacious, maybe something to cover while taking a shower would be good. They also offer breakfast, it is good, however, we wanted it one day at 7:00am because our bus was leaving early and it was not possible. The decoration is also nice.

We had a nice stay here and considering the price it was absolutely worth it! The facilities, pools and the buildings are clean but definitely have seen better years. Hopefully everything will get renovated soon, because the overall concept of the hotel is great, it just got a bit old over the years
