Hotel berhampiran Jeju Bada Wi Olle Pension, Seogwipo-si

*BACKGROUND My wife and I live in Incheon and wanted to stay at this hotel for a 3-night staycation. (Note for Bonvoy members: We booked the first night via a FNA+points, and then the next two nights with just points.) Cash rates during our stay were 1.2m KRW per night. *CHECKING IN We rented a car at the airport and drove in. Plan on allocating around 75 minutes for that drive. The resort is quite far from any shops or sightseeing sights, and you should plan to have access to a car while you are staying here. Taxis are often hard to come by, and it's a real hassle to order one, even via apps. There is no shuttle bus offered. When we got to the resort, we parked our car in the covered parking and went up to the 8th floor lobby. The semi-open-air lobby is really a nice place. We arrived under cloudy skies but can imagine it could be spectacular under sunny skies. There are 6 large couches around the inner perimeter of that lobby, for people to check-in. When we entered the lobby, the staff intercepted us and told us to sit at the couch and they'd take care of us. A first staff member dropped by with some small ice cream cups. (My wife asked whether a coffee was available and they said no.) Then another staff member came over with the check-in form. No complications, but my ”Payment type” was typed in as ”KEB Hana Bank Card”, which I don't have. The card I added during booking was a totally different credit card. When I asked the staff about the error, they told me to ignore it. That was a bit strange. There are three quirks that you might notice as you make your way from check-in to your room. First, after you go up to check-in on the 8th floor, you go back down to the 3rd floor, in order to walk outside under cover to another building where most of the rooms are. And then, unless your room is on that 3rd floor, you'll take another elevator to get to your room. So, three elevator rides just to get to your room, upon your first arrival. Second, the hallways don't seem to be temperature regulated; at least in the summer, the hallways are not air conditioned. Possibly they are not heated fully during the winter either. I presume it's part of their pledge towards sustainability. Second, the buttons for ”up/down” when you call for an elevator also include a touchless sensor, presumably for anti-bacterial health reasons. But then when you enter the elevator, there are no such sensors, and you have to touch buttons to go to a floor. So, it does defeat the purpose of touchless buttons in the first place. The resort is really weirdly designed. I mean, the materials are all very solid. Lots of marble, stone, and wood. But the layout is quite ridiculous. The architect apparently wanted to design a place that fostered exploration and instead created a place for confusion. (For one, I'd wish to see some benches or seating next to the courtyard garden as you walk out of Dancing Durimi to The Lounge.) By Day #3, my wife and I did fee

Nice hotel in a great location. Room was big and clean, nice bathroom and very comfortable beds. View from our room wasn’t a feature - for our room type it was random what you got as a view, I would recommend the hotel charges slightly more for ocean view rooms so customers can pick that. Unfortunately the pool was closed for scheduled cleaning on our one full day there, so recommend contacting hotel or scouring the fine print for pool closed dates. We did use the pool the afternoon we arrived and it was very nice.

We stayed for 3 days and overall pleasant stay. Will stay again if visit the Seogwipo area. Hotel entrance is small and we almost missed it when drove through the first time. Convenient location. Olle market is within walking distance. It is not far from Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and Oedolgae rock with 10-15 mins drive. Hotel room is clean and quiet. Staff are friendly and some can speak reasonable English. We booked for standard twin room and the hotel gave us free upgrade to deluxe twin. The only drawback is the air conditioner in the room is a little noisy and the wash basin is outside the washroom.

Great hotel on Jeju, close to lots of bus stops and easy to find. Surrounded by nice cafes and restaurants and close to the market. It’s an easy hotel to get anywhere from. The check in was easy and quick and the room was neat and tidy. Just enough room for one person. The Internet was good and the bed was comfortable. It was quiet at night. Felt very safe for solo female travellers and there are washing and drying machines in the basement. Would recommend

The hotel is located close to the port. Our balcony had an amazing view overlooking that port. The hotel is located in a super quite neighborhood, but at the same time it's easy to find cafes and restaurants to eat out. 7/11 shop with atm in in just around the corner. Can't say anything about jacuzzi, because they were not working at the moment we visited.

전망, 룸컨디션이 완벽했고.. 수영장에서 라이브공연을 보며 스낵과 칵테일을 즐겼던 시간, 아름다운 호텔 야외 풍경이 인상적이었습니다. 갑각류 알러지가 있어서, 수영장에서 랍스터 요리를 먹던 도중 알러지 증상이 일어나 급히 약국에 약을 사러 가야하는 상황이었습니다. 수영복 입은채로 물을 닦고 급히 로비로 나갔는데, 양복을 입으신 남자 매니저로 보이시는 분이 정말 세심히 챙겨주셨습니다. 택시를 잡아 시내로 나가 약을 구입해왔고, 결국 해결이 잘되었습니다. 이후 얼굴을 기억하시고 다음날 아침에 몸은 좀 괜찮냐고 기억하고 여쭈어 봐주셨던 세심함이 인상적이게 다가왔습니다. 프론트 직원분께서도 정말 친절하게 응대를 해주었고, 저희가 특별한 이유로 방문을 하게되었는데, 그 부분을 캐치해주시고, 좋은 혜택을 누릴 수 있게 도움을 주신 부분도 감사했습니다. 전반적으로 호텔 직원분들이 따듯하고 친절했기에 가족과 제주도를 다시 방문한다면 꼭 기억하고 다시 오고 싶은곳 입니다.

Advantages; helpful staff at concierge, amazing food at the Parkview - one of the best omelette ever had, walking access to the beach.. (but beware of steep stairs..) and….. house keeping service was first class and friendly. Disadvage; TV could be bigger, NO smart TV, No utube, No neflix … power point was only on one side of the bed. Shampoo/ conditioner/ bodywash is just plain, not suitsble for 5 star hotel. When u purchase the toilettes bag which cost 30$ u get the same stuff inside with tooth brush and paste. We stayed 3 nights and were very impressive with house keeping service. Everytime we come back, towels were replaced, bed was made, refilled stocks etc. thanks house keeping team x the best 🩵

Stayed for 2nights3days.The services and cleanliness overall was very satisfactory but was a bit disappointed in the quality of the dinner buffet. It was One of the most expensive hotel buffets but the taste was so-so and not many varieties as expected..

**A Gem in Jeju: Parnas Jeju Hotel** My recent stay at Parnas Jeju Hotel exceeded all expectations. The hotel boasts a sleek and modern design, evident from the stylish rooms to the chic lobby. Every corner exudes elegance and comfort, making it a delightful retreat. One of the highlights was the outdoor heated swimming pool, perfect for a relaxing dip regardless of the weather. It provided a serene oasis amidst the bustling city. The service was impeccable, with staff at the lobby always greeting guests with a warm smile and ready to assist with any inquiries or needs. Their hospitality truly enhanced the overall experience. Moreover, the hotel's location is ideal, within walking distance to a charming bakery, and a convenient store, ensuring easy access to essentials. Whether you're visiting Jeju for business or leisure, Parnas Jeju Hotel offers a perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and top-notch service. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in a memorable stay on this beautiful island.

This is a great exprience for us for the enrtire stay. From the welcome to the room tour, your staff were so helpful. Facilicties and training for your team is excellent, demonstrate a good teamwork. I especially thanks Mr. Taehee, and the reception on 26 -27 May 2023. They help me find and confirm my lost bag and follow up the delivery of the bags via long haul call .They know I don't understand Korean and be my translator until the car arrived airport, which is my last chance to pick up for my further trip. I was so lucky to meet all of you and wish Bayhill Pool and Villa be the top choice in JEJU.
