Escape to Paradise: Kenting's Fairyland B&B Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the swirling, sandy, sometimes-a-little-bit-muddy world of Escape to Paradise: Kenting's Fairyland B&B Awaits! And lemme tell ya, this place… it's an experience. Not a perfectly polished, Instagram-filtered experience, mind you. More like… a real-life, slightly-sunburned, sand-in-your-sandals kind of experience. And honestly? That’s what makes it great.
First Impressions: Accessibility – With a Side of "Phew!"
Okay, so first things first: accessibility. This is important, folks. I'm all about inclusivity. While the information provided suggests the B&B has facilities for disabled guests, I'd give 'em a call. Don't assume, like I maybe did… once. Double-check the details – ramps, elevators, the whole shebang. Because a scenic escape is no fun if you're struggling to get to it. My advice? Call, chat with the hotel, and get a REALLY clear picture.
The Digital Divide: Internet & Wi-Fi – Praise Be!
Right, so let's talk about the things that truly matter: internet. Wi-Fi is FREE in all of the rooms?! Hallelujah! In this day and age, it is so important. Internet access? Thank the lawd! Good internet can really make or break a vacay. You can keep up to date with all your friends, keep up to date with social media, and even still work remotely. So big props to Fairyland for getting this right! No one wants to be cut off from the world, especially when you're seeking paradise. Yes, they have Wi-Fi in public areas and they also have internet [LAN], internet services. Brilliant.
Things to Do (and Ways to Really Relax): The Spa Saga
Okay, so, the provided list mentions a spa, including a sauna, steamroom, jacuzzi, and all that jazz. And, oh my god, the pool with a view! Listen, if I'm going to "escape to paradise," I want to be pampered. Which means I’m immediately envisioning myself buried in bubbles at the spa. And then, maybe, after a little foot bath to ease those tired traveler's tootsies? Who am I kidding? I'm going straight for the full-body massage. If they're offering body wraps and scrubs too, well, consider me sold. Seriously, send me a massage and I'm yours.
I just want to take a moment right now and say that if I see a sauna, I'm probably going to be in that thing.
Cleanliness and Safety – Breathe Easy (and Wash Your Hands!)
Now, let's get real. This is 2024. Cleanliness is KEY. The list includes:
- Anti-viral cleaning products
- Daily disinfection in common areas
- Hand sanitizer
- Hygiene certification
- Individually-wrapped food options
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter
- Professional-grade sanitizing services
- Room sanitization opt-out available
- Rooms sanitized between stays
- Safe dining setup
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items
- Staff trained in safety protocol
- Sterilizing equipment
All of this is making my anxiety go down by about 75%. Good. I like it. I want to stay healthy and I also want to trust that the place I'm staying at is safe. Yay!
Food, Glorious Food! (And Maybe a Cocktail or Two – or Three…)
Oh, the food! This is where things get interesting. Fairyland boasts a whole buffet of options!

Services and Conveniences – Because Life is Supposed to Be Easy-ish
Air conditioning in public areas? Excellent. Luggage storage? Essential. A concierge? Hello, that's perfect for all the times you realize you forgot something. They also have a daily housekeeping, so no more worries about your room getting messy.
And the convenience store? Okay, I love this. Because sometimes you just need a snack, or a toothbrush, or a life-saving bottle of water in the middle of the night.
Oh, and there’s a terrace and a bunch of options for hosting events!
For the Kids – Family Fun, or a Little "Me Time"?
Now, I don't have kids. But the presence of babysitting services, kid facilities, and kids' meals tells me this place is, in fact, family-friendly. Score one for fairyland!
Getting Around – The Practical Stuff
Airport transfer? Lovely. Car park [free of charge]? Even better. Valet parking? Treat yourself. Because the last thing you want to worry about on vacation is the parking situation.

Hanoi's Hidden Gem: Hacinco Hotel – Your Unforgettable Vietnamese Escape!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly polished travel brochure. This is me, rambling through Kenting, Taiwan, with all the grace of a caffeinated squirrel. We're staying at Kenting Farm Guest House & Our Fairyland B&B, and frankly, the Fairyland name already sets the bar impossibly high. Let's see if it delivers.
Kenting Chaos: A Chronicle of Sun, Sand, and Slightly Sunburnt Souls
Day 1: Arrival & Mild Panic (aka "Where's the Wifi?")
- 1:00 PM: Arrived at Kaohsiung Airport. Smooth flight, right? Nope! My luggage decided to take a solo trip to… wherever it felt like going. Cue the frantic searching, the broken Mandarin attempts ("Lost luggage! Where is… big bag?!"), and the sinking feeling of realizing I'd packed my swimsuit in the now-missing vortex. Thanks, universe.
- 2:30 PM: Found a helpful (and adorable) airport employee who finally located my bag. Crisis averted! (Mostly.)
- 3:00 PM: Taxi to Kenting Farm Guest House. The drive? BREATHTAKING. Seriously, the coast is just… chef's kiss. I spent the whole time frantically snapping photos, ignoring the driver’s increasingly exasperated sigh. Sorry, dude, beauty demands capture!
- 4:00 PM: Check-in at Kenting Farm. The room? Basic, but clean. The view? Glorious. The WIFI? Nonexistent. Panic level rising again. I needed to update my Instagram with a photo of the said breathtaking view and the lack of a wifi made me feel as though I was back in the 1980s.
- 4:30 PM: Hunted down the local convenience store (7-Eleven, naturally. These things are Taiwan's lifeblood). Loaded up on snacks, instant noodles (essential travel fuel), and… a portable wifi router. Problem solved! (For now…)
- 5:00 PM: Beach exploration at Little Bay (Xiaowan). The water was crystal clear, the sand was soft, and I managed to avoid getting stung by a jellyfish (a personal victory). Witnessed a couple sharing a bubble tea and some stolen kisses right there as the sun sets. It was pretty romantic; made me want to call my ex. Nah!
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a local seafood restaurant. Ordered way too much food (as usual). The squid ink pasta was… interesting. My teeth and tongue looked like I'd been gargling with a black marker. But hey, adventure!
- 8:30 PM: Wander the Kenting Night Market. It was glorious, a riot of smells, sights, and sounds. I ate everything in sight: stinky tofu (surprisingly addictive!), grilled corn, and some kind of deep-fried goodness that I couldn't identify but devoured anyway. My arteries will thank me later.
- 10:00 PM: Back to the guest house. Exhausted and slightly food-comatose. Managed to upload about 3 photos to my social media. Sleep soundly and ready for the next day.
Day 2: Sunbeams, Snorkels, and Serotonin Shortage?
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Blazing sun beaming through the window.
- 9:00 AM: Quick breakfast in the guest house. Toast with jam.
- 9:30 AM: Hit the beach again. This time, with a snorkel and some serious sunscreen application. Did I see a sea turtle? Maybe. Was it a rock? Possibly. Either way, the ocean was breathtaking, and even managed to get some almost decent underwater photos.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a beachside cafe. Trying to practice my Mandarin, butchered a sentence, and ended up ordering a plate of fried fish while talking about the importance of the sky. The waiter looked confused but smiled, and that was all that mattered.
- 1:00 PM: This is when it all went downhill. My trip to the " Fairyland B&B, Kenting Taiwan" turns into a hot mess. I lost my phone taking selfies on the beach.
- 2:00 PM: Found a local convenience store to get a new phone and then back to the guest house.
- 3:00 PM: After resting and relaxing. Heading to the beach again.
- 4:00 PM: I realized that I have been drinking too much and that I want to have dinner with a friend.
- 5:00 PM: Having dinner with a friend and feeling all the stress disappear.
Day 3: Leaving Chaos
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast and checking out of the Kenting Farm Guest House.
- 10:00 AM: Saying goodbye to Kenting.
Overall Verdict:
Kenting? It's chaos, it's beauty, it's a sunburn waiting to happen. It's everything I hoped for and nothing I expected. Did Fairyland B&B live up to its name? Well, let's just say my expectations were so high it could have been the highest mountain but, ultimately, it didn’t matter. The entire place was beautiful and memorable!
Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'm bringing a spare phone, a professional translator, and maybe a therapist. Just in case.
Harborcreek Getaway: Unbeatable Cobblestone Hotel Deals!
Okay, spill! Is "Escape to Paradise: Kenting's Fairyland B&B Awaits!" REALLY as magical as it sounds? 'Cause the pictures... wow.
Alright, alright, settle down with the "magical" talk. Look, the pictures? They're *good*. Let's just be honest. They're Instagram-ready and all that jazz. But is the Fairyland B&B *really* living up to that hype? Well... it depends. Expectation management, folks. First off, it's not actually *in* a fairytale. No fairy godmothers, no talking animals (sadly), and the wifi? Hmmm, let's just say it needed coaxing, like a reluctant cat.
But! And this is a big but folks! The *vibe*? That's pretty darn close. The owner, who I'm pretty sure's name was Leo (or was it Leon? Gosh, my memory!), was super friendly, or at least, *seemed* friendly. He gave us this whole welcome spiel complete with a hand-drawn map of the area - which, bless his heart, was kinda adorable but also slightly confusing. I was half-expecting him to tell me the local goblins’ favorite hiking trails.
The room? Clean, comfortable enough. The AC worked a treat, which you *need* in Kenting, let me tell you. I had a weird moment though… I swear I heard someone humming in the hallway at like, 3 AM on the first night, which freaked me right out. Probably just the ghosts of tourists past, or maybe I just needed another beer. Anyway, the breakfast… OKAY, NOW WE'RE TALKING. Seriously good stuff. That Taiwanese porridge? Amazing. Especially after a night of questionable humming.
So, magical? Not literally. But the *feeling*? Yeah, there's a good chance you'll feel pretty damn good there, especially after a few lazy days. Just don't expect actual fairies. Or a super-reliable internet connection. Consider yourself warned!
What's breakfast like? Is it that good Taiwanese stuff everyone raves about? I'm a breakfast snob.
Breakfast, breakfast, BREAKFAST! Okay, settle down, breakfast snob. You've come to the right…ish…place. The answer is a resounding YES, with a little caveat.
The Taiwanese porridge? Absolutely divine. It hits that comfort food spot *perfectly*, especially after a night of karaoke (more on that later). They also had these little side dishes, like pickled vegetables and something… oh, so good, I think it was some kind of braised pork thing, but I can’t remember. Memory of a goldfish, I swear! The bread and coffee was good too.
The caveat? It's not a buffet. They serve it up each morning, and you get what you get. But honestly, it was enough! I am stuffed after breakfast and the best thing to do there is head for the beach. My friend, let's call him Dave (because that's his name), he's a serious breakfast person. He can make or break a trip. He was a little skeptical at first, but within two bites he was practically licking his plate. *That's* how good it was. And the coffee was good, which is also a huge plus. Bottom line? Breakfast is a win. Don’t miss it!
How far is the B&B from the beach / other activities? Do you need a car?
Okay, location, location, LOCATION! Fairyland is in a pretty solid spot. Not *right* on the beach, which might be a plus, depending on your tolerance for sand in *everything*. I'd estimate a 5-10 minute walk to an okay beach, but it's more of a 15-minute walk to South Bay Beach, which is the good one, a lovely stretch of golden sand and the bluest water you can imagine.
You absolutely *could* walk to everything interesting. But! And there's always a "but," isn't there? Renting a scooter is the done thing in Kenting, and it's about a 5-minute scoot to the main drag with shops, restaurants, bars (oh, the bars!). Plus, you'll want to hit the night markets, the national park, and ALL the beaches. Seriously, the beaches are what makes Kenting special. If you're not happy on a beach, you need to re-evaluate your life choices! The B\&B can help you rent one. I highly recommend it. It was a little scary at first; I hadn’t driven one in years, but I figured it out pretty quickly and it made all the difference.
A car? Technically no, but... scooter is your friend. Trust me.
The reviews mention Karaoke. Is this something to be terrified of?
Terrified? Well, *maybe*. Okay, let's be real. Karaoke in Kenting is... an experience. Fairyland *might* have karaoke nights. (I think they do, or they did when I was there? My memory's a bit hazy.) It wasn't the worst karaoke I've ever experienced; I've seen worse at my Uncle Barry's birthday. But it's not necessarily for the faint of heart.
It really depends on the clientele, the booze situation etc.. The music mostly seems to be Mandarin pop. You'd need a karaoke machine, but you would be stuck without it. You'll either love it, or you will sit in the corner and cringe. Or, like me, you'll start out cringing and end up belting out some questionable, off-key rendition of something you vaguely remember from your youth. The Taiwanese locals seems to love karaoke. And it will make the stay more memorable.
My advice? Embrace the chaos. Order a drink (or three). You'll probably need it. And try to find a song you actually know the words to. (Good luck with that!). And if you just cant, just smile and wave.
Is it family-friendly? Like, would a screaming toddler ruin everyone's vacation vibe?
Family-friendly? Okay, here’s my take: Screaming toddlers? They’re a gamble ANYWHERE, right? Depends on your tolerance and how easily your inner peace is shattered. But I'd say, Fairyland is *kinda* family-friendly. I saw a few families there; the place has a chill, relaxed atmosphere and decent space. There's an outdoor area, where kids can run around a bit. I do not recommend it for people who are not able to tolerate kids.
If you have an extremely high tolerance for potential noise and mess, and are okay with kids running around – then go for it! If your relaxation hinges on silent breakfasts and undisturbed evenings, maybe look elsewhere. But I’d say it's not a "specifically designed for kids" kinda place, but the atmosphere is casual enough that a little chaos won't ruin things (unless you let it!).
Any tips for making the most of the trip to Kenting in general?
Oh, Kenting! Okay, listen up. Here's the lowdown, from an experienced… amateur. First, get yourself a scooter. Seriously. It’s key to freedom. Also, sunscreen. Like, *buckets* of sunscreen. The sun is not messing around. Drink loadsTravel Stay Guides
