Hotel Dengan Pools di Jeju Province, South Korea

We booked a twin room with an ocean view. The cleanliness and facilities were quite decent, and the room even had 220V outlets, which was very convenient—I didn't even need my adapter... However, I feel the facilities and overall conditions are on par with an 800-to-900 RMB hotel back in China. Unfortunately, because of some sports event going on when we arrived, we ended up paying 1,500 RMB a night... which felt a bit overpriced. The location is very convenient. The first floor is directly connected to the Lotte Duty-Free Shop, and there are convenience stores nearby as well. The only drawback is that if you plan to do a lot of sightseeing and need to carpool or share rides with others, I’d recommend staying near Shilla Hotel. Most people looking to carpool stay around that area, and it's only about a ten-minute walk away.

The hotel's soundproofing is extremely poor. On the first night, it felt very hot after 11 PM, and the air conditioning stayed at 24 degrees Celsius for over two hours (even though it was set to 18 degrees). There was also a constant thumping sound, similar to walking, from upstairs. After calling the front desk to report the issue, the noise did not stop. Later, after discussing with Trip.com customer service, we decided to change rooms. A front desk staff member came to help move our luggage to the new room. When we first arrived at the new room, the noise indeed disappeared, but it wasn't long before the thumping sound returned and continued non-stop until around 2:30 AM, severely affecting our rest. For light sleepers, it would be absolutely maddening. On the second day, we realized the noise was coming from all directions. Both the ceiling and wall soundproofing were quite poor, with frequent strange noises. Overall, our stay significantly impacted our rest. I called hotel room service to request two buckwheat pillows or firmer pillows, but the ones brought were the same as the original pillows in the room. English communication was not very smooth. The room facilities are a bit old. The only advantage is the hotel's good location, which is very convenient for guests traveling by car as there is free parking. You just need to provide your license plate information to the front desk during check-in.

The public areas are really beautiful and comfortable; as soon as you step into the hotel, you feel like you're on vacation. The sea view is stunning on a clear day. The front desk staff can communicate in English. Our room wasn't ready at the 3 PM check-in time, but the hotel offered an alternative to switch to a non-sea view suite. We opted to wait for the sea-view room we booked, showing a proactive approach to problem-solving. Our luggage was delivered directly to the room, and we didn't encounter any unpleasant attitudes during our stay. Our room was in the East Tower, which I believe is the older building. I was initially worried it might be too dated after reading some reviews, but it was actually fine! The room was indeed very small, but clean and odor-free, with a complimentary minibar. The balcony was quite large, and the sea view was satisfying. The room door had average soundproofing, but the balcony door was well-insulated, making the room generally quiet. Highly recommended!

I brought my parents to Jeju Island, and this guesthouse was absolutely perfect. The room itself had a fantastic view, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking directly out at the ocean. Sitting on the sofa by the window and watching the white waves crash against the rocks was truly relaxing. There's a boardwalk downstairs, and my parents went for a morning run there every day. The room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, all in good working order. Compared to staying downtown, there are many local restaurants nearby, so you don't need to go to tourist-oriented places, and there are breakfast spots too. Ordering food can be a bit challenging, but once we figured out how to search for pictures on Naver Maps beforehand and just point to order, everything went smoothly. Getting around was also very convenient. If you want to make sure you have a seat, you can take a taxi to the airport and then go to various famous attractions from there. Regarding the check-in time issue mentioned in some reviews, as long as you confirm the time, and if you're running a little late and communicate with the owner, they will wait for you. The check-in time and cancellation policy are clearly stated when you make a reservation, so I don't think there are any unfair terms. Overall, I feel that staying here gives you more of a relaxed vacation and a taste of local life, rather than just a typical tourist experience.

Thank you so much for the free upgrade to an ocean-view room! I could watch the planes taking off and landing against the horizon. The weather was amazing during the two days I was there, so the view was crystal clear! The fried chicken from room service was super crispy, and the ox bone soup served with rice, noodles, and side dishes was also delicious. Overall, staying at the Grand Hyatt is extremely convenient—there's a 24-hour 7-Eleven right outside the elevator on the 4th floor for anything you might have forgotten to pack, and there's a CU convenience store downstairs as well. It's just a few hundred meters' walk to the Shilla Duty-Free Shop, which is easily accessible using Gaode Map walking navigation.

First of all - the perfect stay, favouriting. This is pretty much a two-floor townhouse with widest possible 3 bed rooms and all facilities included (plus three toilets and bath-tube). Very warm at winter. Very enjoyable stay. A bit of details. The unit is a part of mini-city of similar houses around. It is built right in the forest. The architects were brave enough to keep original trees around, so your windows are looking directly into the forest - with all the singing birds, tree branches nearly touch your windows (btw, the third photo is from one of the windows). It is very silent place, with breathtaking volcano views. From facilities point of view, the project looks like suffered from financial hardship - most of the things in the minicity that were planned - are still on the plan or were outsourced to another companies (though, I am sure, once the project is completed - the price will double at least). There is no restaurant as such (at the time of writing), at or even around the place; swimming pool is largely incomplete. The BBQ mini-room in the center of the house (which is directly under naked sky) totally rot beyond repair, but I admire designers decision to build it. Never saw anything like this before. I bet it can be rebuilt. Deliveries to that area does not work - too far. So if you hungry at night - you don't have too much of options than a ramyon or cooking yourself (saying this, we discovered 이승악식당 next door - saved us greatly at lunch time). Gym equipment looked very rich, though the gym room is a bit disproportional in size - barely fits it all. Btw, we found a great table tennis table there. Overall it's a great civilization escape. Few things to be planned ahead but waking up by the sun shining directly to your eyes - unbeatable. I believe it's the one, where wife's and husband's opinions differ :).

5-star perfection! The Shilla Jeju truly lives up to its reputation as a seasoned luxury icon, exuding an effortless, quiet-luxury charm. The outdoor gardens are exceptional, featuring lush, layered greenery that opens up to stunning, unobstructed ocean views. The scenery is vast, picturesque, and breathtaking at every turn. The outdoor pool experience is fantastic, complete with live music performances in the evening. Listening to the tunes accompanied by the sea breeze takes the resort vibe to the maximum. The service is meticulous and attentive; the staff are professional and courteous, making the entire stay so comfortable. The buffet was a delightful surprise—an incredible variety of items with ultra-fresh ingredients and endless choices. This hotel nails that relaxed, luxurious resort atmosphere. With unbeatable views, it was easily the most satisfying stay of our Jeju trip. Highly recommended!

Came here for a fishing trip with my husband. We booked a boat and the pier is right next to the hotel. The hotel exceeded our expectations—it's clean, though not super spacious. There are plenty of front desk staff who can help call a taxi for you. No attitude, no differential treatment. One thing to note: the room comes with one large bed and one small bed, but it only accommodates two guests. An extra fee applies for a third person.

I can only say this is the most ”unassuming” Marriott I've ever stayed at. The photos accurately reflect the room's actual appearance, which is on par with a typical business hotel in China. As a resort hotel, it's completely unremarkable. The room's mini-bar offers complimentary drinks and alcohol. Both the indoor and outdoor pools are free to use and are quite good, and there's also a hot tub. Mythology Park tickets are included, allowing free access to three attractions. This amusement park is a bit old, but its only advantage might be that it's not crowded, so there's no need to queue. The food street in the resort area doesn't have many options. We tried the Volcanic Grilled Black Pork, which was decent.

You can watch the sunset, and the scenery is beautiful. There's a convenience store, Starbucks, and a gift shop nearby, which is very convenient.
