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.

Nice room with a small private garden with outside hot tub, small pool and shower. Great for relaxing. Howard Villa is part of bigger Resort complex with all kind of facilities like swimming pool, restaurants, kids games, animation etc. Other side of road is a nice sand beach with beach bar. And in the evening you can walk in 2 minutes to the night market for fantastic food and drinks.

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 I knew that most reviews mentioned the hotel that this belongs to and the fact that it was outdated and depressing but that wasn’t the case of the villas.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 staff were much better than the facility.”

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!
