Gloria Manor

An absolutely perfect and beautiful vacation—so wonderful that we would love to return every year. Gloria Manor played a huge role in making this experience truly special, allowing us to fully appreciate the natural beauty of Kenting. Although the hotel is located within a national forest and we initially worried about transportation, everything was surprisingly convenient. As long as shuttle arrangements were made in advance, getting to the night market and Kenting National Park was easy, and the staff also helped arrange taxis for longer trips. This made it possible for us to explore comfortably during our 3-night, 4-day stay, while still enjoying peaceful rest back at the hotel surrounded by forests, trees, and ocean views. We were also concerned about whether swimming would be possible in mid-December, but swimming at Xiaowan Beach and Baisha Beach turned out to be unforgettable highlights of our trip. The snorkeling tour arranged by the hotel was another wonderful experience. What truly stood out was the exceptional kindness of every staff member. The entire stay felt smooth and stress-free. Special thanks to Cathy for her prompt and clear communication before our arrival, and to Irene for her warm welcome and thoughtful assistance throughout our stay. Lastly, MU Restaurant is a must. It is far more than a typical hotel restaurant and is absolutely worth visiting even for non-guests. Don’t stop at breakfast—dinner is highly recommended. Every dish was delicate, flavorful, and made with high-quality local ingredients. Highly recommended in every way.

Our stay at gloria manor exceeded my expectations. The rooms were nice and clean. The food at mu restaurant for both breakfast and dinner was really good. The location and view from the hotel are amazing and there is a free shuttle that can drop you off at different areas. The highlight for me was the staff who were exceptional. They were extremely thorough and answered all of our many questions while helping us call taxis and arrange transportation to the bus stop. Scott, who checked us in, was amazing and thoroughly explained the different amenities the hotel offers and proactively explained everything from dining hours to air conditioning controls to us.

Strongly encourage to stay in Kenting if you got enough budget. Highlight : The breakfast is awesome not only on the meal but the service, they noticed we need to walk our child and offer a new meal set without asking, surprised by the service and friendly staffs in the MU lounge. Highly recommended from a Marriot lifetime platinum member that has been stay for hundreds of hotels! Lowlight : external looks a bit aged, but nothing impacting the interior design.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Gloria Manor. The grounds are very peaceful and serene, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. |The resort is very close to the Kenting National Park, about a 15 walk up the mountain. There is an organized tour, but we decided to go on our own one morning, and the park is beautiful. |The resort runs a shuttle van into town, which makes it easy to visit the night market or the beaches. That made it very convenient to get around. |The resort also runs a bus to Zuoying station in Kaohsiung daily Friday through Monday at a cost of $250 TWD (about $8 USD). We extended our stay until Tuesday so were unable to take it, but if you’re traveling on those days it is the best way to get to/from Kaohsiung. |We love it here, and plan to return, hopefully next year.

We initially booked for one night and loved it so much we extended our stay at Gloria Manor ! The place is impeccable and the staff is really great and attentive. Most staff will speak English and do their best to accommodate your needs. We stayed in a garden view room (which really is overlooking some parts of the garden but also the parking lot) and in an ocean view room which was breath taking (totally worth the upgrade in price !). Both rooms were very similar in terms of design and comfort and everything was in great condition. Breakfast was included and you get to choose from a selection of set menus (no buffet). Very qualitative, filling and tasty with high quality products. On the lesser notes, sound insulation isn’t always great as we could hear (sometimes) neighbours rooms with kids running or furniture moving. This didn’t impact our stay but worth mentioning for guests who are sensitive to noise. The evening restaurant did disappoint us and we didn’t eat there for our second night. We had a wonderful stay at Gloria Manor - one of the best we had in Taiwan and definetely our best sleep !

As seasoned travelers, we appreciate quality and repose. Gloria Manor's setting is spectacular; the expansive views alone offer a deep sense of tranquility and were a highlight of our stay.|The standout feature, however, was the consistently high level of service. The staff were not only friendly but notably efficient and proactive. We were particularly grateful for their attention in arranging our commute to Kenting and back, which simplified our logistics entirely.|The daily breakfast was a satisfying and delicate experience, perfectly prepared. Though we aren't frequent review writers, we felt compelled to commend Gloria Manor for its commitment to high standards.

My stay at Gloria Manor was exceptional from start to finish. The property strikes a rare balance between refined comfort and the natural beauty of Kenting. The moment I arrived, I felt the calmness of the surrounding forest and the thoughtful design of the hotel — everything feels intentional, serene, and quietly luxurious.

“A Peaceful Retreat in Kenting” Gloria Manor exceeded all my expectations. The location is simply perfect – set apart from the busy tourist areas, it offers a truly peaceful and serene atmosphere, ideal for anyone who wants to relax and recharge. At the same time, it couldn’t be more convenient: the complimentary shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes and takes you straight to Kenting Street and other main attractions, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Waking up to such scenery every morning was a highlight in itself. The food is another strong point – fresh, flavourful, and consistently excellent, whether at breakfast or dinner. What makes the stay even more memorable is the sense of calm throughout the property. It never feels crowded, and the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I left feeling completely refreshed. Gloria Manor is without doubt one of the best places to stay in Kenting – a perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. I would highly recommend it and would love to return on my next visit.

This is our favorite hotel in Kenting. It is a five-star hotel with amazing views of the ocean and the mountains. I highly suggest getting a room that comes with breakfast. You won't regret it. I also suggest setting up time for a massage or facial at the spa. Vivian does amazing work to help you feel relaxed and refreshed. The other thing that we love about the hotel is being able to reserve afternoon high tea. They have some nice tea to select from and a delicious array of food for their afternoon tea. It is not your typical afternoon tea but has a unique twist with an Asian flair. We also found that they have the best beef noodle soup in Taiwan. We had a chance to test the beef noodle soup in some of the best places in Taiwan but ultimately decided that the beef noodle soup at Gloria Manor was hands-down the best. If you order it you can thank me later. If you are looking to get pampered refreshed and relaxed this hotel is a perfect place to recharge.
