At the end of May 2020, before the scorching heat came, I stayed at the Sunshine Liv. B&B run by a young couple. The sincere accommodation service and room design fully lived up to the innately beautiful South Bay view of the B&B. , It also left a very deep and hopeful impression on the young people returning to their hometowns to invest in Kenting's tourism development.

It will officially open for business in February 2020.The name of Rihe Bay is derived from the combination of the two characteristics of Kenting sunshine and Nanwan Beach.

This time I stayed in the top seaside courtyard quadruple room, which is located in the first row of the sea view on the third floor. It has an amazing high-altitude view of the South Bay. It relies on the thick soundproof doors and windows of the room, and there is no need to worry about the traffic noise on the South Bay Road in front.In addition, the layout of the room is quite special. There is an open-air balcony between the living room and the bedroom. The balcony is equipped with a bar and a hammock. It is very suitable for enjoying the sea view during the day and chatting at night. The bedroom and living room activities can be said to be a creative design based on the original architectural pattern.
Rihewanju provides complete baby products such as cribs, bathtubs, and bottle sterilizers. At this time, the two-and-a-half-year-old hamburger is no longer needed, so there is no trouble sending it to the homestay. Those with babies can request it. However, Wendy took her mother who lives in Pingtung on this trip. When she checked in, her mother did not have the opportunity to see the view of the room. She praised the view of the balcony again and again early in the morning. So quickly open the balcony door curtain and let her see what is called Invincible Sea View. Just seeing her sticking to the high chair on the balcony and refusing to leave can make her mother living in Pingtung amazed, showing how amazing the scenery is!

🍽️What services are provided? Breakfast and public facilities at Rihe Bay Resident B&B
Rihewanju has five independent buildings of ABCDE. The reception hall and restaurant of the B&B are concentrated on the first floor of Building A, and the rest are spaces for guest rooms.The breakfast is a uniform set meal, served by the hostess of the retired flight attendant. The main meal was mashed potatoes with bacon, boiled eggs, salad and apple slices. The ingredients are refreshing and seasoned, with cheese, milk tea, coffee, and black tea. Waiting for the drink, the mother who loves light is praised, and it is refreshing and healthy, which is quite popular with the elderly.
The restaurant in Building A has a floor-to-ceiling view of the first row of the seafront. At that time, I was quite surprised that there was only a restaurant that served breakfast. It was a waste of this excellent view. Later, I had the opportunity to chat with the owner of the hotel, and then I learned about the balcony space outside the restaurant. Later, there will be expansion coffee. The planning of the hall space makes people look forward to the rest space in the future, but you can also read a book or drink a drink in the restaurant at this time, and you can also enjoy the leisurely afternoon accompanied by the beautiful scenery, not to mention the lush green grass in the atrium, which is also a letting place. A comfortable space for children to run with peace of mind!
