Kenting Lan Bay Hotel

We stayed in a two-person sea view room this time. The view wasn't as expansive since we were on the second floor, but we were very happy with how clean and spacious the room was. Most importantly, the floors and wardrobe were dust-free, so we felt completely at ease letting our six-month-old baby crawl around. We'd definitely stay here again if we get the chance.

The owner was very kind and let us check in early. It's super close to South Bay; you can feel the ocean breeze as soon as you open the door. The rooftop is beautifully lit at night; it's a pleasant place to eat and drink.

After some thought, I decided to warn others. I paid 1200 RMB per night through Ctrip, 3680 RMB for three nights. I thought at least there would be a view, if not an ocean view, but it was basically a basement suite, dark and damp. Having a window was practically the same as not having a bed; just centimeters outside the window was a mountain wall higher than the building itself. The owner thoughtfully added a dehumidifier, but the daily draining of a full tank of water made me glad I only stayed for three days. The owners, a husband and wife, were very nice and provided accurate and thoughtful travel information. However, if the owners didn't make a profit at this price, Ctrip was acting unethically. The photos were taken during the day.

Location The hotel's greatest attraction is its location. It's just a three-minute walk from the beach, lined with bars and restaurants on the south coast. It was perfect for being able to return to the hotel in your swimsuit after a swim. While the hotel itself doesn't offer breakfast, there are plenty of delicious restaurants nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding a meal. Rooms We booked a beach-view room, but unfortunately, our second-floor room didn't offer a view of the ocean. The reservation page listed it as a "beach view," so those who prioritize a view should be cautious. The hotel had some mold on the roller shades and cigarette burns on the floor, but the balcony and living room were bright and comfortable. We stayed for two days, and there was no cleaning during that time.
