住宅設計感

The room was every bit as wonderful as it looked in the photos. The "garden" view overlooked a pretty open field and although there was a small road that passed through, it was relatively unused and quiet. The balcony area on this side was great for looking at the night sky. The bathrooms were generally spacious and well-appointed. There was a bidet in the toilet, and the onsen-style concrete bath was really spacious and perfect for soaking after a long day of sightseeing. Not much of a view to speak of though, since it overlooks the carpark and you can't really use it with the blinds up - but that's still okay for us. The mini bar area also had a cold/hot water tap through a filtration system. That was quite a nice touch! The whole stretch down South towards Kenting was beautiful and the topography of the beaches varied even with just a 10-15min drive. The location is really perfect for an idyllic holiday. We were there for 3 nights and there's still so much to see.

I felt the towels were the only major blight on the stay. They were quite worn-out looking (frayed at the edges, looking a bit grey), and it felt really bizarre given how the hotel had premium pricing and most of everything actually lived up to expectations. Other smaller quibbles - I would have liked extra sets of towels in the room (the way some hotels keep extra pillows in the cupboard) since reception isn't 24/7 and guests may not realise what else they need till they're back late. Most hotels give a 3-pc set (one for body, one for face/hair, and one for hands), but the set here was a 2-pc so we had to keep requesting for extras. The hairdryer was also painfully slow. Do note that you absolutely need some form of private transport to get around. Uber doesn't work in Checheng, and the local taxi app was just as useless. We planned on renting a car locally, but that backfired because we were told that the smaller local shops don't have the right insurance to cover drivers with int'l licences. In hindsight, renting from the larger companies like hertz in Kaohsiung would have been better. Anyway, we ended up renting a scooter to get around, which worked reasonably well, though it gets pretty cold when riding back at night because of the wind chills! There's one cafe right beside (not open on all days though) and apart from that there are no meaningfully good food options (or major convenience stores) within walking distance. But if you have transport sorted, the larger Hengchun county is about 10-15min drive away, with a good mix of dining options - quaint little cafes, bubble tea shops, street stalls and family-run eateries, and some decent bars.

The host was very kind and gave us great restaurant recommendations for the area. We loved staying there - the room was artistically inspiring and relaxing.
