H-resort is an upscale sea view resort with a pool facing the sea and offering infinite sea views from every room and ] great in-resort dining opportunities – starting from buffet dinner & breakfast with a great selection of food, and ending with a unique 360 degree shaped UFO lounge, that offers a panoramic view on Hengchun Peninsula and stunning sunset views.
Main Reasons to stay at H-resort in Shizih, Kenting
- Every room in the resort is a sea-view, so even if you do not visit a UFO lounge for an afternoon tea, you will see a sunset over the Hengchun Peninsula
- U.F.O lounge is a one-of-a-kind lounge bar & cafe that offers a 360-degree view of the sea and a laid back view on Provincial Highway 26
- The dining is really good – buffet-style dinner food selection is great, comparable to the one you get in such landmark hotels of the Kenting as Chateau Beach Resort, or Caesars Palace.
- Infinity Pool is not only well maintained and clean, but the kid’s pool area is enclosed from adults are, so that two do not mingle (which is a common issue in Taiwan resorts).
- Air Corridor is an attraction for those who love making a lot of Instagram photos or just love panoramic sea view walks.
Where is the H-resort located?
H-resort is located around a 40 km drive away from “real Kenting“, so if you plan to visit Kenting Night Market, or Dawan or Kenting beach on the same day, you most certainly will not have time for that.
H-resort address can be found in above on google maps, or you can use this:
No. 60, Lane Zhukeng, Zhukeng Village., Shizi Township, Pingtung County, 94352
Arriving to the resort & parking
The first thing you need to note is that parking is located far away from the hotel lobby, and what you need to do is to go up the hotel lobby first, leave the luggage and then go back down several levels to park the car.
As you can see from this photo above, after you park the car, you will need to walk back through this spiral driveway, which sometimes in the middle of the summer in Kenting can be challenging, especially for the elderly. This is why the resort offers a shuttle bus to parking, but they won’t offer you anything unless you ask!
Now, take a look wouldn’t this 360° video made near main entrance to H-resort. The bus standing there is actually waiting for the passengers to go down to the parking area, but you wouldn’t know if you don’t ask.
H-resort hotel lobby hall
Once you get to the resort, the first thing you will see (at least at the time of our arrival) is the installation of Cherry Trees, mainly of course to take pictures. Take a look on it in our 360 degree video, and also have a walk around in virtual tour in H-resort hall at floor 1.
H-resort hotel room review
As mentioned above, H-resort all rooms are actually sea view, which is a big plus, unlike Chateau Beach Resort where so called “mountain view” rooms actually are parking lot view rooms.
H- resort offers following type of the rooms at the time of writing:
- Deluxe Single Room
- Standard Twin Room
- Honeymoon Room
- Deluxe triple room
- Deluxe double room
- Family suite
- Family deluxe suite
We stayed in Standard Twin Room, so this is what we will review further down this post.
Take a look on the 360° degree Virtual Tour inside of H-resort Standard Twin Room:
Now, we can see why it was worth staying so far away from the Kenting village itself, and not visiting Kenting National Park yet.
The view is just stunningly beautiful!
H-resort room from the design resembles more of some classic business hotel, rather than a resort, however, everything is really to expectations in such class hotel, clean, smells good, and there is a little of what we call “attention to details” in our reviews. If for example in Nandian Homestay in Eluanbi, these small things that make you feel good, and attract attention were little pigs on the bed, then in H-resort – tea and cookies on the table:
Minibar complimentary drink selection is minimal:

Bathroom in H-resort standard twin rooms are made with a transparent wall to the living room and have a bath and separate shower cabin. Selection of amenities meets expectations.
Most of the amenities, such as shampoo, lotion, or conditioner are from the Italian brand Culti Milano.

Infinity Pool in H-resort
One of the main activities you can do while at H-resort is their Infinity Pool.
The infinity pool is divided into 3 main areas – the main swimming area near the so-called “pool bar”, which, unfortunately, is how it’s usually happening in many Taiwan beach resorts – or is not functioning, or is just serving as a lifesaver station and towel dispensing place, kids pool, and SPA area.
Full Virtual Tour on Infinity Pool & 22° cafe in H-resort
Beach chairs are (again as usual) not enough for everyone, so if you come at busy times, you sure will have no place to put things, not talking about laying down on chairs.
Come at the morning (and this is what I did in the epic 360° virtual tour and videos below, and you will see that almost no one is there, and almost all chairs are free.
