"The hotel is fantastic place for those who wants a quiet, relaxing trip. It has only 8 rooms, and all rooms has a balcony with sea view.
Highly recommended for either solo, family, or larger group travellers. The room is fully furnished with various facilities which feels like a serviced apartment instead of a hotel room.
There is a BBQ area which I think is great for summer vacation. The roof top has fantastic view too!
Breakfast is porridge, which reminds me of the the Teochew style porridge in Singapore.
Lastly, the receptionist lady is super nice and friendly. If I were to visit Nanjo next time, I will not hesitate to pick the same hotel again!"
