Hotel 5 Bintang di Gangwon, Korea Selatan

Room was very clean and nice. Location is also very nice, close to the beach and very convenient to go around by taking uber.

The hotel is beautiful. We booked ocean view and we have Amazing view of the sunset and the ocean. There are some restaurants nearby. The beach is clean and beautiful. Although the water is freezing in May we had a fantastic time in Suncruise hotel. The restaurant serves delicious breakfast and dinner. Rooms are clean. Bed is very comfortable. Highly recommended!

Check in after 00:00, need to go to another block to check in, it took me a while to figure out. appreciate if instruction is more clear! Balcony view is excellent!

장점-호텔 바로 앞에 바다가 있고 옆엔 삼척해변이라 위치 완전 좋아요. 체크인 할 때 주는 쿠폰도 요긴해요. 테라스(?)에서 보는 풍경 좋아요. 단점-바닷가 바로 옆이라 그런지 욕실 여기저기 곰팡이가 심하네요. 너무 넓어서 가고 픈 곳까지 다녀오려면 시간이 은근 걸려요.

늘 남편과 쉼이.필요하면 찾는 속초에서 묵는 델피노 특히 호텔동으로는 소노캄C동에 묵어요. 2인인데 총 5인실에 묵게되네요...4인기준이 아닌 5인이더라고요. 룸인이 들어가니 약간 꿉꿉한 냄새와 화장실 환풍기 소리가 너무 커서 프론트 문의하니 잠시....기다리시라고하더니 관리실에서 오셔서 교체 하고 가셨어요;;; . 욕조청소하고 그냥 1박이라 보냈는데 큰 룸이라 만족하지 전반적인 서비스는 예전같지않아서 실망스러웠어요.

전 쏠비치양양을 처음 방문하였고 리조트 청결객실(취사금지) C동을 이용하였어요 일단 안내도가 너무나도 불친절해요 체크인을 어디서 하는지 연결이 어떻게 되어있는지... 제시되어있는 표지와 안내도로는 전혀 이해가 안갔어요 초행자에게는 굉장히 불친절한, 그래서 방문 전 시설위치를 공부해야하는 정말 불편한 곳이예요 그리고 지하주차장이 있는데 제비떼가 살아서 분변이... 바닥과 차에 막 떨어집니다 지하주차장에서 건물로 이동하려면 엘리베이터가 없어서 계단을 이용해야 하구요.. 바닷가를 바로 볼 수 있는 리조트 위치는 너무 좋습니다 근데 시설이 너무 낙후되어있어요

FINAL VERDICT: Family oriented resort that has everything needed for a family vacation. 3 Line summary - The property is located on a scenic coastside hill, offering views of the East Sea, Seorak National Park, and Sokcho city downtown is a 10 minute drive. Resort is constructed to offer panoramic vistas to guests directly from their room window & balcony. - Resort has everything needed for a familiy retreat. They have a large indoor water park(Sokcho Water Park), 5+ restaurants including one that you can do K-BBQ(Natural Soul Kitchen), large and fun kid’s cafe (Lala Kids Adventure), direct access to East Sea coast and the best Korean seafood shops are within uber delivery distance. They even have a mini golf place. - Lotte Resort Sokcho also offers various family oriented programs that I recommend you check out. We chartered a catamaran yatch and cruised the East Sea, went to a local strawberry farm and harvested a couple baskets, tried Lotte’s cookie house making program which are all available through the resort. WHEN: May 2023 WHO: Family of 3, including a 17 month old daughter WHAT ROOM: Character Suite Room We visited the Lotte Resort Sokcho as a family retreat in May with our 17 month old daughter. The Resort was our top choice because it had all the facilities that one would want one visiting a beach coast resort, and at the same time very family friendly as they provided baby amenities such as baby food, bed, moisturizer etc. We stayed at the Character Suite room, which is a spacious room that features a Lotte themed slide, hide&seek spots and children’s restroom. Our daughter had so much fun in the room - she rode the slide a gazillion times and played hide and seek with us. My wife liked the fact that the room had a good combination of contemporary designs and playful childrens’ furniture, all with safety in mind. Stay at the Lotte Resort was also memorable as we took advantage of the many facilities. On the first day, we went to the indoor Water Park which offered wave riding, a large lazy river, water slides of all sizes and a jacuzzi for relaxing. We headed to the BBQ restaurant (Natural Soul Kitchen) at dinner to charge up and had some fun cooking lobster, beef, pork and lamb racks. The restaurant also offered many Korean dishes that goes well with the BBQ we had ample choice. After a good rest in our beach view room, we headed up to R.9PUP, a pub on the 9th floor as the name suggests. The pub offers a wide range of Korean local brewery at a scenic view of the coastal beach. It was even better as the pub had a family friendly atmosphere where the young ones are invited to play the dart and chill on the bean bags on the terrace. All in all, this is a great one-stop resort that offers great view, nature, variety of dining options, all at the same time running large scale facilities such as the Sokcho Water Park. I definitely look forward to visiting again and with comfortably recommend to families looking for a good time toget

Rooms were pleasant, everything functioning nicely. Hotel is comfortable and reasonably well-organised. Around the resort there are places where poor signage and language difficulties may give pause for non-Korean-speaking travellers, but it's nothing that a smartphone and a little persistence can't overcome. Free shuttle buses to the close-by ski hill and two local towns are frequent enough. Staff are kind, considerate and helpful. Food on the mountain is basic but perfectly fine. Unless you are coming for the ****** specifically I wouldn't recommend the hotel in general. All facilities require extra charges and are cynically overpriced to rob more money from the punters, whose tinted-window executive cars arrive in droves. The less said about the buffet at the Grand Table the better. There is something very soulless about the High1 resort in general, and the strong corporate vibes give the place an eerie quality. The skiing is not so bad, although experienced riders will get bored after 2 or 3 days, unless a rare snowfall increases the fun. That said, the resort's snow-making abilities are quite impressive. If you are someone who gets irritated by poor piste etiquette, don't come here. At any given time half of the riders will be in the process of falling over, will have already fallen over, or will be chatting sat in the middle of the fairway. Try not to imagine anything in the way of apres-ski. As a solo traveller bored of watching the ****** donkeys shift about the hotel, I went searching in the local towns for a bar. It was a depressing failure. I read the resort was intended to bring money to the depressed mining towns of Sabuk and Gohan, but seemingly it has turned these places into a succession of garishly presented empty restaurants and ”Thai massage” joints, the latter being a favourite of the aforementioned tinted-window crowd.

It’s a family ski trip for us, we are lucky to escape from the peak season, thus the hotel is less crowded and it feels more relaxed. The hotel is generally cleaned, the room is warm and even the floor is warm. No towel provided, so this needs to be noted. But we enjoyed the hotel as it’s very convenient to ski park.

Seeking to spend a few days on the Korean Seaside, we booked on short notice 2 nights in an Oceanview Double at Seamarq. Overall, we had a wonderful, very relaxing time: we particularly enjoyed - the spacious, beautifully designed and functional room and lobby area, which truly provides a sense of space and an extension of the hotel space into the sea - the absolutely stunning 5th floor pools area, which was never really crowded and also stayed open despite some minor rain on our first day: comfortable sunbeds, generous opening hours (06:30 - 22:00, great) and good service by the mostly very young crew up here - the nice ocean side loungers, even though we still find it awkward that there is (at least officially) a 1.5 hour limitation to the use of the sunbeds (though at least during our stay this did not seem to have been enforced) - the piano player who brought a serene, peaceful atmostphere to the lobby every night, and the Lobby Bar with an excellent drinks, tea and small food selection - the thought-through room design, incl. the practical wet clothes hanger with clips to secure any item, and the Nespresso machine, tea pot etc. - the overall good selection and tastiness of the food at breakfast and at the buffet dinner (which we only joined once) To be among the very best hotels, Seamarq needs to fix a few things - the setup and food presentation of the breakfast / dining room is more reminding of a low-end, family vacation style: relatively crammed seating, presentation of the food buffet is without love (though the have a great choice - it's more how it's presented), and erratic service (e.g. on first morning nobody cleared used dishes from our breakfast table, while today this was done promptly every time...). - while there is a wonderful beach with the hotel's sun loungers, there are no beach towels available: this is the first time ever around the world we experienced this. Why not provide the same service as at the pool (where those are freely available)? - as others wrote, the elevator availability and waiting time is a real issue - with only 3 elevators that are also partly used by staff to deliver luggage wait times are often excessive. All these were not significantly spoiling our experience, and we would definitely be back here if staying in the area - though it would be easy for the hotel to improve on some of the items above. Overall a wonderful place to stay if in Gangneug, and wanting to be at (or better above :-) ) the sea

Great location and it was fairly clean. However, the floor was extremely hard. We as a family stayed at other places that had floor sleeping arrangements but this was the worse of the lot. We then asked for more mats but we got told we have to pay extra for these. Getting extra pillows was ok. Might reconsider not getting a room without beds or go to a different hotel.

와… 큰 기대는 안 하고 오대산 근처라는 위치만 보고 갔는데 너무 좋았습니다. 일단, 호텔 정원이 산책하기에도 좋고 너무 예뻐서 힐링하기 딱 좋은 장소였고, 호텔 내부나 객실 모두 깨끗해서 좋았습니다. 저희는 가든뷰에서 머물렀는데 평화로운 마을과 가든이 어우러진 풍경이 너무 멋졌어요. 조식도 음식 퀄리티나 메뉴, 서비스 모두 너무 좋았아요. 다시 찾게 될 호텔인거 같아요.

Around 5-8 mins walk to convenience store and restaurants, as well as ski house where you can buy lift pass and do equipment rental. Friendly staff, clean and spacious room. Taxi to Jinbu station around 20,000-25,000 KRW if no shuttle bus available.
