Travel Tips

If you’re arriving from Kaohsiung or Kaohsiung International Airport, book the hotel’s paid airport shuttle in advance for a stress-free direct ride. For getting around Kenting, rent a scooter through the hotel – it’s the most flexible way to explore remote beaches and hidden coves. Book your stay during the off-peak season (April to early June, or September to October) to avoid summer crowds and enjoy more comfortable hiking and beach weather. Because the hotel does not offer on-site parking, if you do rent a car, confirm nearby public parking rates and availability before your arrival. For day trips, ask the front desk for customized itinerary recommendations – their local knowledge will help you find hidden gems far from the main tourist routes.
