The villa was beautiful and we really enjoyed the small pool and outdoor shower and tub. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the small beach at the hotel is lovely. We also really appreciated the free shuttle back to Kaohsiung. Excellent service!

we stayed at one of the villas. we had a spacious bedroom and a little garden with hot tub and a small private pool. Staff was very kind. The villa area looks newer than the rest of the hotel, which is a little bit tired. But the common pool is very good and cleaned daily. The little beach in front of the hotel is also nice, but can get crowded at weekends. I had heard many bad things about Kenting and its hotels but we were actually positively surprised.

We knew there was a private pool, but when we walked into the room and looked into the garden and private pool area, we both WOWed as it is so beautifully done. It was so lovely having a private pool. After a long day of touring the countryside, it was so nice taking a dip in the pool with a glass of wine and relax. The design of the patio is fantastic. The lobby for the Howard Villa is also very quiet and serene. The employees are fantastic and kind. They go above and beyond.

This is my second stay at the Villas at Howard in Kenting and I've stayed in two different villas they offer so far. Both were similar but different. Both have comfortable beds, great strong showers, a second outdoor set of bathroom/shower, hot tubs and pools that are heated. Outside areas are private, so is parking specific to the villas.

整體環境令人感受到渡假的氛圍，待在房間內，放鬆的玩水放空。房間夠大，設備齊全，又有免費的點心可以在交誼廳使用，真的很適合帶小朋友全家一起來。參加飯店設計的出遊行程，回來就在房間內玩水，晚上用走的就可以到墾丁大街覓食，真的很棒。

“Satisfying with Room for Improvement”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
We were planning to skinny dip in our private pool, but it wasn't quite private because it was visible from other rooms. Also, the pool did not maintain depth. After it was filled, the water would slowly drain out and we had to keep asking the staff to fill it. The pool was a big reason why we chose the Howard Villas, so these items were particularly disappointing. Also the room was a bit more dark, cramped, and cluttered than we anticipated, and the bed was not particularly comfortable. We usually like to lay around and spend quality time together in the room, but it was not really comfortable to do so. We were looking forward to the lounge access that came with the villa, but the lounge food turned out to be just a few cookies and nuts. There was no hot food and no beverages (besides water and juice). Finally (and probably least importantly), Howard resort doesn't provide any amenities at the beach, which contrasted sharply with how the resort next door provided umbrellas and loungers for guests.
We thoroughly enjoyed the location, as it was perfect for going to the beach or riding bicycles into town. Renting bicycles from the front desk was easy and fun, and we did it a few times. Breakfast was yummy! The staff was so kind, helpful, and accommodating! We really liked the water fountain in the main hallway for the villas. It was comforting to always hear the sound of running water. The lounge seemed like a great place for families - there were games and plenty of space for hanging out in large groups.

I’m not sure where to start... We really wanted to give this place a go and after lots of research in the Kenting area I felt this might be a good choice. It’s by far the worst hotel in terms of value for money and is definitely not a five star hotel by European standards. I knew that most reviews mentioned the hotel that this belongs to and the fact that it was outdated and depressing but that wasn’t the case of the villas. We really felt this applied to the villas as well, as the design is definitely at least 20 years old and most of the facilities were very old. For example, none of the sockets worked for our European or Mainland devices in this hotel, even though we had no problems in more modern hotels in Taiwan. The staff did provide adaptors when we asked for these. The villas have two breakfast options, one in the main hotel and one in a lounge for villa guests. We tried both over our stay and they are both very Asian focused with a lot of processed meat. Starbucks is just around the corner though, so we used that a few times during our 6 day stay. We also felt that while the room was generally clean, the staff awareness of what is clean or problematic was quite concerning. For example, one morning a very big bug was flying in the breakfast lounge area and when we told the staff about it we got a slightly dismissive okay back and nothing seemed to be done about it. On that same note, the deer farm as it is called is a very upsetting small zoo that’s next to the main restaurant and that you can pay to feed. The animal rights issues that this entails is one thing, but the smells are another one... The dampness in the rooms is definitely an issue as well. Because the villas are in the basement of the hotel, there is little sunlight and on the two nights when it rained our dehumidifier filled up in a couple of hours. If you have any breathing issues, I would not recommend staying here although it’s great that the hotel provides a dehumidifier.
The location is quite nice, very close to the night market in Kenting. The staff are doing their best and the outdoor jacuzzi was very nice.

Humidity and damp smell. Rather than a real detached villa, this is actually the ground floor of Howard Beach Resort with a backyard. Hotel guests upstairs can still look down to see what you are doing in the backyard.

The breakfast is below average compared with 5 star hotels elsewhere. The villa is downstairs to the hotel, so on the upstairs there are actually a lot of hotel guests who make quite a lot of noise. Also the indoor private pool is not private, because from the upstairs you can actually see everything.
The staff were quite friendly and helpful. The location is quite close to where everything goes on. And transportation is convenient.

The sitting area of the room is not comfortable. Did not like the chairs at all. The bathroom has a weird colorful plastic chair and laundry bin which is completely mismatched to the rest of the room.

The facilities at the neighboring property, which is shared by the villas, are a bit dated and depressing. However, the villas are distinctly separate with their own pools, so it really wasn’t an issue for us.
The villa was beautiful and we really enjoyed the small pool and outdoor shower and tub. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the small beach at the hotel is lovely. We also really appreciated the free shuttle back to Kaohsiung. Excellent service!
