We had an amazing stay at Lin’s Forest earlier this month (December 2020). We stayed on the second floor and had our own private balcony. Coming from Taipei and other large cities in the US, sitting outside on our private balcony to look at the stars (with no light pollution) was stunning.
All else was as expected for a great stay (comfortable bed, nice shower with good water pressure, very clean). The morning was also a highlight for us. We had long windows that extended across the entire side wall which let a lot of natural light in after you opened up the blackout drapes. Surprisingly, breakfast was also some of the best food we had in Kenting (see picture below).
It would be best to have a car. If so, getting around to all the scenic areas and beaches is easy.
Finally, I have stayed in hundreds of hotels for business and leisure, and have had many amazing stays but I rarely write personal reviews. This time I did because I had left my sunglasses at the house and the owner, without hesitation, immediately mailed my sunglasses directly to my apartment back in Taipei. She took the time to wrap my sunglasses in protective material, then protected with cardboard shelling and finally placed it in not one but two more cardboard boxes. This just shows the attention to detail and care the owner has to not just her home but also for her customers.
We highly recommend this place and will be staying again next time we come back to Kenting!
