Beach Hotels in Jeju Province, South Korea

This is my second stay here! Funny, the reception from last year has been turned into a bar, haha. No need to worry about the rooms being old; the whole place has an 'old money' vibe. They also have a Chinese-speaking staff member—the same one as last time—who is very friendly. He specifically gave us the last sea-view room, and even though the weather wasn't great, I'm still grateful. When we left, I told him, 'I'll be glad to meet you next time!' The Parnas next door is more modern, but I prefer this place. Every corner is stylish and Instagram-worthy.

Laon Hotel, a golf hotel near Hyeopjae Beach... There is a breakfast restaurant and convenience store on the 1st floor, and the front desk is on the 3rd floor. When I made the reservation, I was worried because the reviews mentioned that the facilities were quite old, but since I only planned to sleep there, I booked it based on value for money. It was cleaner than I expected, and the cleaning was good. I particularly liked that the area around the hotel was quiet, had many palm trees, and was well-landscaped, and the spaciousness of the room seems to be the best advantage.

Family Quad Room Let's start with the room type – absolutely perfect! It's ideal for families or groups. The beds are comfortable, and the room is spacious enough to accommodate four 20-26 inch suitcases. Plus, there's a separate living area, great for dining, mobile gaming, or as a temporary private space. There are two air conditioners, and you can adjust the temperature yourself. Additionally, the room comes with two sinks, which is super convenient for multiple guests as you won't have to queue up in the mornings. The bathroom is a bit small, and the wet/dry separation is a bit tight, but compared to the other positives, this is negligible. Location: It's about a 10-15 minute drive to both the airport and the city center. Shilla Duty Free is about 20 minutes away, and Lotte Duty Free is around 10-15 minutes. We typically took taxis, which cost between 40-80 RMB per ride. Going to tourist attractions, however, would be more expensive. Now for the downsides: When interacting with the front desk staff, make sure to find the younger ones. The older staff members tend to be stiff and cold in their demeanor. Regardless of regional differences, hotels are a service industry, and such an attitude really doesn't match the room price. The hotel's trash cans are small and few. To maintain a clean environment, you'll need to ask for more trash bags to dispose of waste promptly. The disposable slippers have very thin soles. Also, one day they forgot to replenish the toilet paper. Daytime in Jeju is quite long, and nights are short. The hotel curtains are not very good at blocking light; it gets quite bright by 5-6 AM. If you're a light sleeper, you'll need to bring your own eye mask.

The hotel is incredibly clean and the service is top notch. The direct view to the beach is absolutely unique and the pool area is super delicious. The breakfast was excellent with a large selection and it was a huge plus to have free parking right at the door. Highly recommended!

The room was very clean, and despite being a new hotel, there wasn't any lingering smell. There's a swimming pool downstairs, perfect for kids to enjoy. The beach is a bit of a walk from the hotel, past the big windmill and down a pathway, but once you get there, it's a beautiful, secluded spot. For breakfast, they offered Chinese food, but I didn't see any regular milk, only peanut milk, which actually tasted pretty good. I'm guessing Koreans might not be big fans of coffee with milk, as most of it was Americano style. I highly recommend the salmon at breakfast; it was very tender, smooth, and fresh! Next to the restaurant, there's bowling and arcade games, so you can have some fun after your meal. Overall, it's a good hotel and definitely worth recommending.

The breakfast menu was great. There are cracked floor tiles, wall tiles, damaged wall, fridge and freezer door unable to close properly. Toilet doors unable to close fully. But overall, still acceptable for stay.

The hotel is extremely clean and well-maintained. The service is excellent, and the swimming pool facilities are very family-friendly. The environment is also modern and stylish, making the stay comfortable for both adults and children. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location was fantastic, and the breakfast offered a great variety of delicious options. The heated swimming pool was a huge plus, and the overall cleanliness was excellent. We had a really relaxing and enjoyable stay. But what truly stood out was the incredible friendliness of the staff – they made our experience absolutely perfect!

In Jeju's most peaceful village, with the majestic Baksugijeong Pavilion to your side and a peaceful harbor ahead, and the most beautiful coastline on the Olle Trail, especially in the mornings, dolphins occasionally show up to delight you. This is a small gem of a place nestled in a truly lovely village. I often travel to business hotels, but it's rare to find a place that offers such a relaxing and restful stay. The cozy room has everything you need, is extremely clean, and the bedding is firm and cozy. The lovely garden and the ocean beyond the window overlook the desk. The tranquility of a book is endless, and the warmth of those who have passed through the house makes the room even warmer. The loving owners, with their refined hospitality, and the owner's homemade bread and the owner's marmalade are worth the all-night chat. I plan to visit again when I visit Jeju for business or pleasure. I had a wonderful rest.

My overall experience exceeded expectations, definitely a five-star review! As a long-standing five-star hotel in Jeju, Seogwipo KAL Hotel truly showcases high standards in terms of location, environment, and service, offering excellent value for money. The hotel boasts an exceptional location right in the heart of Seogwipo city, making transportation hassle-free. It's very close to Jeongbang Waterfall, Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, and Lee Jung Seop Art Gallery, all within walking distance. Dining and shopping options are abundant nearby, so if you're looking to experience the authentic slow pace of life in Jeju, this is definitely the place to choose. Despite being an older hotel, the rooms are exceptionally well-maintained, clean, tidy, and free of any odors. I highly recommend the ocean view rooms; the panoramic views are incredible. As soon as you open the window, you're greeted by a vast expanse of blue ocean and the hotel's stunning green gardens. The furniture in the room is of good quality, and the bedding is soft and comfortable, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep. The bathroom facilities are also impressive; the shower has excellent water pressure, which is wonderfully refreshing after a long day. The unbeatable ocean views, tranquil gardens, and attentive service made this vacation absolutely perfect. Whether it's a family trip or a romantic getaway, this is a hidden gem of a hotel with incredible value that I highly recommend! I'll definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Seogwipo. The front desk staff were warm and efficient, making the check-in process quick, and their service was thoughtful and thorough. The cleaning staff were timely and meticulous. Although some of the service staff weren't particularly fluent in Chinese, communication was very friendly, and their attitude was truly heartwarming.
