Seashell Bay Hotel

First off, you need to know going in these small local Taiwanese hotels are, uh, not like international business hotels. They can be a bit oddly decorated and configured, and they’re often a but rundown by Western standards. If you’re lucky, you end up with a great location, quirky charm, or both. Seashell Bay manages both. The arrival experience, at least at night during the night market, is bewildering. The place is impossible to find, tucked in on the upper floors over a Watson’s, with tiny and misleading English on the sign. We called and one of the proprietors came out to lead us to a remote parking spot behind the building. Once checked in, we tumbled out onto the village’s bustling Main Street and into the center of a booming night market. Seashell is NOT on the beach, btw, but rather on the main drag, with dozens of small hotels, shops, and restaurants. The beach, such as we saw it in two rainy days, was a short walk away. The room was odd and funky, with a very strong beach theme, but comfortable enough and reasonably clean. Importantly, the AC worked very well. There is no elevator, so you will get your steps in. And the staff speak very little English, but manage to convey an air of casual, kind welcome. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in (and having visited Kenting 30 years ago, when it was a sleepy little town)... what we found was a strange but interesting “resort” experience with lots of families making the best of rainy vacation days.

We arrived to the Seashell Bay Hotel at around 8pm on 9th August. No one was on duty at the hotel counter. As we didn’t have the local SIM to make the phone call to the hotel staff, we just waited for her return in half an hour later. Subsequently, the hotel staff told us that she only received our booking from Expedia on that day. As al the hotel rooms were occupied, no room was available for us in the hotel. Subsequently, she arranged us to check in another hotel nearby under same ownership. The hotel room that we checked in was quite small and couldn’t compare with the one we booked. Expedia is so ridiculous and messy in its booking system!

建議加強wifi訊號

大街很近很便利，附近也很多超商，晚上又不會很吵，冷氣很涼，房間很舒適很美，價錢又很便宜，很推薦～

感覺受騙，業者超收客人。把我們的房間讓跟其他人， 騙我們說房間水管壞掉，換我們房間多收我們300元 當初說好的附贈早餐也沒有，如果原本沒有附贈早餐，網站上就不應該打說有附贈早餐這件事。飯店員工態度非常不好。總之整體就是差⋯

The owner coupon is very polite and helpful. Location of the hotel is very convenient. Recommendable hotel.

If you are a traveller, the location would be fantastic because the hotel is located in the middle of the night market and the main street. Also, the room was completely quiet because of the sound proof window.

room is clean, location easy to find not so noisy

房間很漂亮，但浴室就不行了，水壓太小，早餐就是厚片吐司+豆漿 台南只要35元，太陽春了. 就在墾丁大街上，逛街方便，但停車就不方便了。

Seashell hotel now has moved to the 2nd street which is convenient enough and not noisy. I enjoyed 3 nights in this hotel and highly recommended.
