We spent four nights in this low end five star property first impressions are of a huge sprawling hotel the initial greeting from the door personnel was cool to say the least and not very welcoming. Checkin and out was better being friendly and efficient as was baggage handling although they wanted to charge 55000 Korean won per hour for a late checkout!!!!! .Self parking is complimentary but the spaces are very tight even with all vehicles being within the lines we had to struggle to get out of the car without hitting a neighbouring vehicle. Our room (1202) , a corner room was a reasonable size with two balconies and a very attractive view of the ocean , but was very dated -(the hotel has built an annex with apparently better rooms possibly that are more modern) - I wish we had known that prior to booking the main building room .That aside our bathroom reflected the room , it was smallish and very old fashioned with a horrible shower curtain instead of a full screen or better still a cubicle , and poor water pressure from a shower handle located in the bath which could be attached to the wall but was too low for someone of my height (6 .1 ) toiletries are pump action and adequate but some items are on a mini bar system and chargeable such as toothbrushes. The bed was comfortable but there are not any power sockets near the bed in fact there is a real shortage of sockets in the room I disconnected a side light too change my laptop and phone . Housekeeping was adequate the room was very clean linen was bright white and fresh , towels also but are only medium quality as are the robes . There is a breakfast option which we didn’t take advantage of as reports were not very good and during a Quick Look in the restaurant it didn’t seem very appealing . Externally there are some very nice facilities a pool ,, which for reasons of management convenience or economy of staffing they clean and close mid afternoon rather than cleaning early morning when guests are asleep as other hotels do . There are also complimentary natural hot springs complex on ‘the property and a superb gym . My wife and I are fortunate that we travel Extensively , approximately six months of the year spent overseas ,generally staying in 5 star accommodation this property definitely is sub standard from the room point of view but what you are buying is primarily the location on a nice beach , the view , the hot springs and proximity to the main streets with shops , restaurants and fountain and flower displays. In short for the price point it’s not a bad deal but we still wouldn’t come back to this hotel .
