Hotele z: spa w Jeju Province, South Korea

Overall, the hotel experience was decent. Most of the staff were very service-oriented, actively greeting guests and offering assistance. The only exception was a female front desk staff member who had a poor attitude during check-in. The hotel is situated on a cliff, adjacent to Jungmun Beach, and boasts a popular infinity pool. The environment and views are outstanding, but the scenery is highly dependent on the weather; on cloudy days, the experience is significantly diminished. The lobby windows weren't cleaned properly, making the view outside consistently hazy. The public areas are spacious, but all room types are generally small, with decor and amenities roughly comparable to an Atour Hotel in China. The hotel isn't new, and the bathroom infrastructure is average, with noticeable water leakage when showering. The pool management was well-organized and orderly, but the swimsuit spin dryer was quite dirty, which made me not want to use it. Upon check-in, a deposit was required. We wanted to pay in cash and have it refunded immediately upon checkout, but we were told credit card payment was mandatory, and the deposit was not refunded within the promised timeframe after checkout. Since we had a continuous stay, the housekeeping department wasn't very thorough with room cleaning.

Staying here in Jeju is a breeze: it's only about 10 minutes from the airport, and the hotel even offers a free shuttle, so arriving at 17:55 isn't an issue at all. The basic rooms start at 65sqm with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of Hallasan, the city, and the jelly-like sea all at once. The high-floor sea views and nightscapes are much more impressive than many hotels in Jeju city center. The 4290sqm outdoor pool area on the 8th floor features an infinity pool, a jacuzzi, and a children's pool – soaking in warm water while watching the sunset is incredibly picturesque. The 38th-floor sky lounge and sky food hall offer stunning views of the city lights. Grand Kitchen has seven open kitchens serving brunch. You can find Changwon Black Pork and Hanwoo, Grand Hyatt Beijing Roast Duck, Sichuan Hotpot, and Monsan Japanese cuisine all within the building, so you could easily eat for two days without even leaving. The Grand Hyatt Jjimjilbang (Korean sauna) has red clay, cypress, ice, and salt rooms – it's incredibly relaxing to steam after a day of walking around before heading back to your room.

The Shilla Jeju – A French Riviera-style Estate for Korean Chaebols The Shilla Jeju has a unique charm, exuding a quiet luxury reminiscent of the South of France. The interior design, done by a French company, features champagne gold, ultramarine, and creamy white tones. This top-tier resort landmark was built by the Samsung family in 1990. Hotel and Nearby Attractions Guide: 📍Two attractions: Jusangjeolli Cliff and the Teddy Bear Museum. Next to the museum, there's a Starbucks with 'I love you' written in Korean on the floor tiles. 😋Hallasan hairtail fish – highly recommended in reviews, absolutely delicious! Grilled, fried, and braised hairtail are all options. 🏨Inside the Hotel Every corner offers an elegant and beautiful backdrop, perfect for a trip with mom. 🏊🏻♀️Heated pool with a pool party and live band from 8-10 PM. 😋Dinner can also be enjoyed at the poolside bar, where you can listen to English party songs. Prices are around 200-300 per dish, and portions are generous. 🥐Breakfast can be delivered to your room, offsetting the buffet voucher. I chose the American breakfast: besides toast and muffins, croissants and Danish pastries were also available, delivered within half an hour. The buffet breakfast can also be exchanged for Chinese cuisine. 🌊Olle walking path by the sea + observatory: You can enjoy ocean views right from the hotel, no need to rush to popular cafes. 🛏I booked a sea-view room; there was no strange smell. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are not provided. The scented toiletries are exquisite, worth 200 per bottle, and include body lotion and conditioner. 💁🏻♀️Top-notch service. They offer turndown service in the evening, and room service is very responsive.

The overall service was good, and the rooms were marked with nationality, so Chinese-speaking assistance was available by phone. We could also request a child toilet seat. However, the overall facilities for families were a bit lacking compared to domestic parent-child hotels. There were no complimentary toothbrushes or toothpaste, so we had to bring our own or buy them from a vending machine. Only two bottles of mineral water were provided per day, and anything extra had to be purchased. Seogwipo City felt better for exploring than Jeju City, and both were about the same distance. Hyeopjae Beach is highly recommended. There was a sashimi place in the complex that was delicious, but Mom's fried chicken was just okay. For BHC fried chicken, the front desk could help order delivery, and it was a 15-minute walk away.

The facilities are clean and the location overlooking the sea has a wonderful view. The bed is quite comfortable and the room is spacious. Language barrier can be a bit tough and the bath towels could be upgraded and renewed. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for a short stay.

I discovered Donnaekohill Resort while looking for accommodation in Seogwipo. I loved the quiet location, Olle Market isn't far, the swimming pool is perfect for visiting with children, and major tourist attractions are close by. The accommodation is also spacious, so I would definitely stay here again if I visit again. The friendliness is a bonus.

The location is excellent, with a bus stop right outside that takes you to Olle Trails 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, which is incredibly convenient. There's a 7-Eleven and a CU convenience store downstairs, making it easy to grab supplies. Olle Market is about a 10-minute walk (uphill), and the popular cliffside cafe is just 4 bus stops away. The room was very comfortable, but the only downside was that the air conditioner vent was pointed directly at the bed. It got cold and gave us a headache after a while, so we ended up sleeping with our heads at the foot of the bed to solve the problem. Also, it was a bit surprising that the front desk staff didn't know about the Olle Trails or where the tourist center was located.

A wonderful family-friendly stay! Venga Stay offers clean, spacious rooms with two double beds and great distant views of the sea or mountains. It's tucked away from downtown next to a busy road, but the rooms and the communal area are surprisingly quiet. The amenities are great—featuring a free swimming pool, (paid) bike rentals, a convenience store, and an on-site café. Just note that breakfast requires a day-ahead reservation (with a few good options available). The highlight, however, was the incredible staff who were always friendly and helpful. We would gladly stay here again!

Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The hotel's sea view is absolutely stunning; waking up to the ocean and the hotel pool every day was incredibly relaxing! It really maximized the vacation vibe. The walk to the beach offers beautiful scenery, but it's a bit of a trek. Service was generally satisfactory, though there was a minor hiccup when leaving. I had pre-booked the airport shuttle for the next day, and when I mentioned to the staff at the entrance that I had a reservation for the airport bus, they directed me to the public airport shuttle that you have to pay for, instead of the hotel's complimentary shuttle to the airport 🙃 A bit frustrating.

This hotel is excellent. The rooms are spacious and clean, and they even have balconies. The pools are beautiful and plentiful. Most importantly, the service is outstanding, from the front desk to the late-night meal service (the fried chicken was also delicious). It's a stark contrast to the Shinhwa Hotel. The ocean view is stunning, and it's right next to the folk village. It was a very comfortable stay. If you're not planning on exploring the city, this hotel is definitely the top choice for a vacation.
