Where to stay in Kenting
Kenting hotels & accommodations
The children's playroom was well-equipped, which was very helpful. The beach is a private beach, so we were able to play with peace of mind. Breakfast was a buffet, which was fantastic! I had some concerns about traveling with a one-year-old, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable trip for both the child and us. While the child was napping, I could enjoy a drink at t...
![Swimming pool [outdoor]](http://pix10.agoda.net/hotelImages/60400/0/f60a5c7d3aa154ca6a3728f833d3268d.jpg?ce=3&s=312x235&ar=16x9)
The children's room is equipped with facilities that kids enjoy, such as climbing walls, swings, and bunk beds. The facility is somewhat aging, and the outdoor pool was not usable due to one of the slides being out of order, but it was still enjoyable. It seems that children's activities are also conducted on the adjacent beach. I stayed during Golden Week, and it was ...
We stayed with our family of four during the New Year holidays. The shuttle bus put us in a resort mood, and the location and service from the room were on par with Hawaii, making us very satisfied. The beach bar was stylish and clean. The poolside was always tidy, and everywhere we went felt comfortable. Since it was a bit chilly, the only regret was that the pool was...
Compared to the old facilities, it was well maintained and the staff was friendly. During peak season, the cost-effectiveness decreases, but it is worth visiting at least once. The beach connected by an underground passage was beautiful, but the strong waves make it unsuitable for children to play. The breakfast was crowded with guests and was of an average standard.
I stayed for 2 nights in downtown Kaohsiung and for 2 nights in Kenting. All the staff were very friendly. The room with a sea view was healing, and the swimming pool was very beautiful, with plenty of towels provided. The night swimming had a great atmosphere, and all the staff at the pool were also very kind. I would like to stay here again when I come to Kenting nex...
The seaside room we stayed in this time is newly decorated, with a reasonable design, making it very comfortable to live in. Additionally, the stunning sunset view of the mountains and sea, along with its historical significance, makes it highly recommended. Breakfast is ordered à la carte but is very abundant, and with the presence of the big mountain king freely roam...
I traveled alone, but I enjoyed it more than anyone else. There were some minor disappointments with the distance, but they took care of the pick-up and drop-off at the evening Kenting night market, and when I got off the bus at the Xiaowan bus stop, they picked me up from my accommodation on time. They also took me to the bus station after I checked out, so there were...
We had an awesome stay at Fullon Resort. Highly recommended specially for those with kids. Great amenities and facilities for both adults and children. I love their playhouse, gaming room, etc. Loved their food too! <3
The guesthouse run by a couple is very clean and the house has a unique style. It's completely fine to stay with my three-year-old daughter. The room I stayed in on the first floor has a large balcony, the room is spacious, and the bed is a queen size. The breakfast is delicious, and the owner's daughter even plays the three-stringed instrument. It's about a 12-minute ...
The hotel is over 30 years old, but it doesn’t feel old at all. The location is excellent, right in the middle of several famous tourist spots. The facilities are great for families with kids, especially the swimming pool. We visited during a typhoon, but my kids never got bored because they had plenty to enjoy—the swimming pool, kids’ playroom, ping-pong, and billia...
I highly recommend staying here when visiting Hengchun. I was able to stay in a very clean accommodation at a reasonable price. The service was good, the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. There are also staff members who can speak Korean. 👍👍 Please note that you can request bottled water, and they will provide it.
I usually pay attention to the hotel's decor and bathroom when booking a room. This place is really a great accommodation spot, and the staff is very friendly to foreign guests. When you walk in, there are also lovely guests lying on the chairs waiting for you (there are 4-5 adopted stray cats in this place, and they are very friendly. I really like cats, so this defin...
The beach that can be reached in one minute had a swimming ban sign. There was also a red flag up. It was in a convenient location near the night market and bus stop, but it was very quiet. The service was also courteous. Due to the direct impact of a typhoon, I couldn't call an Uber taxi, but the front desk helped arrange a taxi for me.
The view was beautiful and clean, and all the staff were friendly. There was a convenience store right next door, and the beach was within walking distance, making everything convenient. I suddenly wanted to rent a scooter, and the staff helped me with that, making my trip even more enjoyable. They always had plenty of drinks and snacks available, and the laundry servi...
I wondered if staying here at this price would be worth it, but I really enjoyed my two days. The breakfast included was so delicious that I don't regret choosing it at all, and I took full advantage of the swimming pool and coin laundry facilities. The room was comfortable with a dehumidifier and a bug repellent. When you step outside the hotel, there are night market...
It is right beside the Sail Rock. Room is clean and the staff is very friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much!
I stayed in a room with a bathtub on the balcony, which was clean, had afternoon tea service and a pool, the breakfast was delicious, and there was a charging adapter in the room, which was very convenient. It was quiet despite being close to Nanwan, and I slept very well. I definitely want to stay again.
The location is opposite Sail Rock, with convenient parking. As soon as you exit the hotel, you are facing the sea, with a wide view and a beach nearby for water activities. At night, it is very quiet compared to accommodations on Kenting Street, and there are seafood restaurants nearby for easy dining. The breakfast is simple and delicious, and having a bathtub in the...
The hotel is located at the entrance of Nanwan Beach, conveniently next to a 711 for late-night snacks. The front desk service is warm, and there are many free snacks and board games available. They can also help arrange car rental services without intermediary fees. The top floor has a balcony where you can take photos and enjoy the sea view. I would also like to tha...
This is a good location if activity will include Kenting National Recreation Park. Its closer to Kenting Arch bus stop than the Kenting Police Station. Breakfast was ok, the grilled mackerel was the best. Croissants, breads are ok, variety can still be improved. Staff are very helpful whenever we ask for directions and how to go around Kenting.
This place is so convinience, it's opposite the south bay just across the street! If you don't have car, next to the building 4-5 blocks does have. Impotantly, Laoban is so nice, he help us a lot and take care us so much.
I will give 4 👍🏻
My partner and I had an amazing time. The hotel is well loved and well kept. We had a great time. The front desk staff are a gem. Love the place :)
Old style buildings, plenty of parking, spacious rooms, nice trails to beach, frog rock, and park. Good Taiwanese style breakfast included. Some buildings under repairs. Mind stone steps and high thresholds to rooms.
Our group of two couples enjoyed our stay at Meifon. Rooms were clean and well maintained. The boss and staff were very friendly - like a family/AirBnb feel.
The breakfast is outstanding. The owner is super nice and helpful. Stayed in Double Room with View; the room has lots of windows and very bright. We had a car, so the location is quite convenient.

Hotel is ok for the money you pay for it. But they need to review the Agoda advertising. 1. No breakfast offered . ( on agoda its specified that the breakfast is included) 2. Bar- the bar is permanently closed as we discovered at the hotel 3. The swimming pool is only for VIP not for the regular people 4.The WiFi was not working for the entire stay 5.The hotel cleanin...

It was a very last-minute booking, and the owner opened for me, offered to wash my clothes, and let me put my bicycle inside. The place is clean, well-located, and has everything needed for your stay!
good
The staff is awesome, helpful and kind. It's just by the beach and the view from the terrace is great. Thanks again for your generosity and time spent here.
This place is so convinience, it's opposite the south bay just across the street! If you don't have car, next to the building 4-5 blocks does have. Impotantly, Laoban is so nice, he help us a lot and take care us so much.
Superb host who allowed us to check in early and was there when we needed help. Thank you and see you next time
I stayed in a double room, and both the size and cleanliness were sufficient and I was able to have a comfortable stay. It seems that the prices for the school vary depending on the group size. It was 2000 NTD for two people and 3000 NTD for one person. There weren't many restaurants around, so every night the owner took us to Hengchun to eat by car. Considering the tr...
We killed 2 big cockroach during our stay, the receptionist boy is not approachable, the aircon in the room is not functioning well, the hallway has no aircon and it’s very hot, the hallway is too dark, and i asked for luggage drop at 12noon and they relied okay but the door is closed when i get there, if only there’s a no star choice, i won’t give one star with my ra...
The location of hostel at the alley and nearby with Kenting Arch bus station and Kenting night market. I dont have issue to find the location. The staff also can spoke English a bit. She upgraded my room from shared bathroom to the room that has bathtub. Maybe i stayed during weekdays. You also can rent scooter here if you have IDP.
I am a traveler who is more meticulous and cautious than anyone else when choosing accommodations, and I spend countless hours thinking and comparing options before making a reservation. My Home Capsule Hotel perfectly met my demanding criteria this time, and I want to give it a perfect score of 5 stars without hesitation! It was my first time staying in a capsule hot...
Warm hospitality (from the dog, cat, and hostel owner), spacious rooms, clean bathrooms, and a quiet environment. While it might be inconvenient that it's not right on the beach, the quiet surroundings were nice. The bus stop is right in front. It's also great that there are many delicious restaurants nearby. The only inconvenience is that the convenience store is a bi...
This was my first trip to Taiwan with my daughter. We traveled through Taipei, Keelung, Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, and Tainan. Originally, we booked a hotel in Kenting through Agoda, but when we excitedly arrived from Tainan, we were told at check-in that we had to pay in New Taiwan Dollar cash and that credit cards and US dollars were not accepted. Since the hotels we ha...
The manager is great and friendly. The kitchen is large and has everything. The bed is comfy. Thankful to stay here!
The room was spacious considering the low price, which was great. Usually, at this low price, you would expect around 12 square meters, but this one was about 24 square meters. The location was also good, as it was right at the starting point of the Kenting Night Market when you left the hotel.
It was great because it was right in front of Conding Street, very close to Nanwan Beach and the night market. I was really satisfied with the price. The soundproofing was good and the room cleanliness was great. The owner was very kind and meticulous! A little bit of communication in English is possible. The water pressure was strong, which was nice. One downside is t...
价格非常实惠，老板非常友善，民宿位置非常好，一次非常不错的入住体验！
Great garden for kids
Away from main road
Location is very good just next to kenting night market. Clean. Only problem is the outer sounds. Rooms are not sound proof.
A guesthouse close to the three-story building, just one minute on foot from the Kenting gate bus stop, one minute to 7-Eleven, three minutes to the sandy beach, and five minutes to Night Market. The staff is friendly. According to regulations, the amenities consist only of provided shampoo and conditioner. The collective air conditioning is cool, the refrigerator is c...
I stayed at this hotel during my journey across Taiwan. I found this hotel while looking for reasonably priced accommodations, and it offers value beyond the price. The room was clean, had cute decor, and the staff were friendly and helpful, even providing free snacks. I'm not good at Chinese, but they assisted me in English. There is a more vibrant area just before th...
The indoor space was clean and well-equipped, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff was very kind. The location is great, with the sea right in front, a shuttle bus stop nearby, and the night market just a short distance away. Additionally, I was able to rent a scooter at a low price. It was excellent.
It is located near the Kending Night Market starting point. There is also a scooter rental place right next to it, which is convenient. The accommodation is about 10 meters inside from the road where the bus runs, so it can be a bit difficult to find, but that makes it quiet. The windows are small, so it was a bit stuffy, but the room is more spacious than I expected.
You get what you pay for. It's a really convenient location near the night market, and a 20 min walking distance from a beach that you can swim in (beach nearby u can't swim). There's a communal area with BBQs that you can use which is a nice touch and good for families. I'd say it's definitely a nice budget option. The atmosphere of the rooms isn't great though, I thi...
The room is clean and comfortable! The staff who greet us are very friendly and provide nice recommendations and guide transportation. Definitely will stay here again if we go back to Kenting :)
The host was really nice to us. We forgot our luggage on the bus and she let us borrow her motorcycle to get it back. The room is spacious and colorful, and it's a 10 min walk to the beach. Overall a pleasant stay.

Hengchun Beautiful Little Town Seaside Resort - A Hidden Paradise There are mountains, seas, sunrises, sunsets, fishing ports, dogs, cows, and even an aquarium ~ Breakfast and afternoon tea, as well as an additional dinner, are offered in a place with few people and a tranquil atmosphere. I will definitely come again next time ❤️
The room condition and service are truly satisfying. In particular, the room is spacious and clean. This is the accommodation that my family is most satisfied with, and it provides a comfortable environment. It is about 20 minutes away from the center of the city, so it is a bit far to use the night market, but it is really good for families. I highly recommend it.

The staff were very friendly and, above all, it was very private, which I really liked. It was great to use the entire two-story house and have access to the spacious yard. Since it was winter, I couldn't use the pool, but the small pool was also private. The windows are large, so it's nice to open them while showering. There aren't many bugs. I hardly encountered any ...

Real reviews for hotels
Kenting is really filled with alot of activities and attractions. We went on horseback riding, ATV, go-kart and we could ride a scooter there as well.
Is a lovely city and the beach are so beautiful and natural. The people are friendly and food are goods.
Kenting is great for beaches, night market, and sashimi by the dwarf. Night market food is so-so compared to Taipei but still you will find your favorite Taiwanese dishes.
Beautiful town where the people are nice and kind. However, it has started to become more touristy and people seem not as warm as they were 2 years ago when I visited.
Very disappointing in Kenting area as the main beach has no sitting areas, toilets not working, no vendors near the beach, no swimming aloud, no where to have a cold drink, area is not looked after and maintained for tourists.
The beach is ok overall, no paradise found here but perfect for a weekend trip. The main street in Kenting gets full at nights and becomes annoying.
Do try 'yi ping ru wei', the food is delicious. Do rent a scooter to explore the area, it is beautiful.
there is not much to see unless you do water sports, and the sun is so strong that it could hurt your skin and even scalp.
Kenting is a good place to come for relaxation. But do remember to apply sun block before getting down to the beach!
there has some natural items for sightseeing which is suited for family with kids too. for the adults there are also have some beaches and sun activities.
Must rental a car and driving it yourself to explore Kenting everythings. Must visit Kenting night markets
It's got almost everything for a nature lover. Forested hills and stunning beaches. Great street food and exciting nightlife.
Kending is a great place to visit, the beaches are awesome. You have to make sure that you pick a hotel that is comfortable.
Should be added more transportation or taxi better to rent a car that you can drive, it's more convenient
Kenting street is a great place for food tasting. Kenting national park is full of natural resources.
Enjoy different beautiful sceneries in kenting. A great place to come in every season to enjoy its different beauty.
Dangerous on road, there is not walking path. You can ride motorbike without a license, it was fun though, but behave yourself.
NICE PLACE FOR BOTH RELAXATION AND FUN. HAVE FUN DOING WATER SPORTS AND JEEP ADVENTURE IN THE WINTER.
Night market and riding electric scooter was so much fun! Try Alex's reggae bar and street pizza nearby.
It has good quality offering to customers, local and foreigners in many kind of food and shopping experience without big brand.
You can go Kending for relax like sunshine, diving, swimming, but of course there is little nightlifes in Kending.
A wonderful place to enjoy the sun and ocean. Great snorkeling and water sports. Beautiful mountains and nature walks as well as nightlife.
nothing much to see around Kenting Street except water sports, but the National Park and Hengchun Town is pretty nice for sightseeing
a small town with beaches... but the beach tends to be rocky and the sand is not fine at all... therefore dont expect a white sandy rockless beach.
Kenting is a place filled with beautiful beaches, sun and sea. The sea sports are fun. The seafood is fresh and yummy.
Lots of cheap buses made it easy to visit South Bay and Hengchun to add variety to the holiday.A bit annoying that you were not allowed into the water unless you hired a body board or surf board
It will be so much better and easier if you ride a scooter or drive (probably not during the season as too many people).
The locals are much more friendlier that those in the city. The place is really a good get-away from the city.
Go only in summer. ;) we went during the December holidays and could only enjoy the nice roadside food which opened during the evening/night of weekends.
There are many activity can be done in Kenting.Swimming,sightseeing,shopping etc.It's a good place for tourism.

If you don't want to stay in a guesthouse and prefer a hotel, this one offers great value for money and we have already stayed for 2 nights. It takes about a 15-minute walk from the Hengchun transfer station to get here. A special mention goes to Mr. Qian, a front desk staff member, who has perfectly handled all our numerous requests with courtesy and enthusiasm; he ...

The staff are kind and friendly. On the last day, I had to leave before breakfast, but they packed a lunch for me, which really touched me. It was really delicious! The sea view from the room window is also truly lovely.
As we entered the narrow streets of Hengchun, a magnificent hotel appeared. We stayed in a triple room as a group of three, and the room was spacious and comfortable. We used it for one night on a Friday, and the price was reasonable, with a sufficient variety of breakfast options available.
This is a good location if activity will include Kenting National Recreation Park. Its closer to Kenting Arch bus stop than the Kenting Police Station. Breakfast was ok, the grilled mackerel was the best. Croissants, breads are ok, variety can still be improved. Staff are very helpful whenever we ask for directions and how to go around Kenting.

This is already my second stay at Caofenmu! The location of the room is convenient, within 5 minutes you can reach the beach and convenience store, and there are also coffee shops and restaurants nearby.

This guesthouse is located in Xiaowan District, with many buses passing by. You can take the Kenting Express Line 9189 directly to Zuoying High-Speed Rail Station, making it very convenient. Moreover, although the exterior of the guesthouse looks small, the interior is very exquisite. The luxury twin-bed rooms with large terraces are amazing, and the terrace offers a s...
The morning view is absolutely amazing. Waking up in the morning and pulling back the curtains to see the view is truly an artistic experience, and the breakfast at the nearby café, which can be enjoyed with a coupon, is also decent! The accommodation condition is good for the price, so I recommend it.
The outdoor bath, which can be used once, has a variety of bathing suits available. There are also plenty of resting chairs, making it comfortable.

A lot of facilities that you may bring your children to play in the playground area and there're swimming pools too. The woodhouse is clean and tidy. Would go there to stay again👍
It's cost-effective, the room is clean, and there are a washing machine, dryer, and massage chair in the basement! The breakfast is brought to your room when you choose from the menu at check-in, and it was delicious and just right without being too heavy!
The location, facilities, and breakfast all exceeded our expectations. When we faced a certain issue, they promptly responded to our needs. We understood that it all came from her goodwill. A response that didn't interfere too much, combined with kindness that was the complete opposite. I have become a total fan.

I traveled alone, but I enjoyed it more than anyone else. There were some minor disappointments with the distance, but they took care of the pick-up and drop-off at the evening Kenting night market, and when I got off the bus at the Xiaowan bus stop, they picked me up from my accommodation on time. They also took me to the bus station after I checked out, so there were...
Checked in quick. Room was clean and spacious. Free parking out front and in a small lot right nearby. Nice shower. Lots of power outlets. Good relaxing view, quiet location. Nearby some family attractions. Enjoyed stay very much.
It is great to enjoy an ocean view in Kending at this price. I debated between Caesar Park Resort and this place, but since I was coming alone, I chose this accommodation thinking I would explore the night market rather than swim, and I was very satisfied. It was quiet at night, so I slept well, and the ice cream and drinks on the first floor were free, making it conve...
Several front desk staff were very friendly. Since I came from Hong Kong and was unfamiliar with the local transportation, they helped me book a taxi and provided some travel suggestions. The hotel is in a great location with many restaurants nearby. However, the hotel is relatively old, and the cleanliness could be improved!
The guesthouse run by a couple is very clean and the house has a unique style. It's completely fine to stay with my three-year-old daughter. The room I stayed in on the first floor has a large balcony, the room is spacious, and the bed is a queen size. The breakfast is delicious, and the owner's daughter even plays the three-stringed instrument. It's about a 12-minute ...
Old style buildings, plenty of parking, spacious rooms, nice trails to beach, frog rock, and park. Good Taiwanese style breakfast included. Some buildings under repairs. Mind stone steps and high thresholds to rooms.
