"0. **Overall:** I'd rate this place an 8/10. It's priced similarly to the Grand Hyatt but is in a completely different league [chuckle]. Most of the guests here are Korean, including many locals, making it a very authentic resort hotel [thumbs up].
1. **Service:** From check-in, the front desk staff are all handsome guys and beautiful ladies. Their English is decent, and some also offer Chinese service. There's even a concierge service [you can add them on WeChat for instant Chinese communication] [blushing]. The staff genuinely put in effort to help you, and even if they can't always solve an issue, they're good at emotional support [adorable].
2. **Transportation:** The location is a bit out of the way (mainly because most guests are Korean and drive), so I highly recommend binding your Uber account in advance if you plan to stay here. Also, the nearest convenience store requires a drive, so make sure to stock up on water, drinks, and snacks before you arrive [smiling face]. I foolishly tried to Uber from the hotel to the CU convenience store and back. When I saw the estimated fare was over 8,000 Korean Won, I silently closed Uber again [facepalm].
3. **Pool:** The rooftop boasts an Instagram-famous infinity pool. The best time for photos is around 7 PM when the sun sets [selfie]. However, the water was quite dirty; after swimming, I noticed many indescribable things. I'd suggest just taking photos and checking it off your list [stoned]. The sauna is a bit small but usable. Both the pool and sauna/showers close at 8 PM, and they usually start aggressively ushering people out by 7:45 PM [crying with laughter].
4. **Dining:** There are no duds in the restaurant; you can order and pick anything blindly! The breakfast was quite satisfying. While it can't compare to Atlantis, it's only slightly inferior to the Shangri-La's offerings [peeking eyes]. I highly recommend The Stone restaurant on the 3rd floor. I took a bunch of photos but couldn't find it listed on review sites. Their set menu is actually a great deal, but you need to book it a day in advance. If you don't get a set menu, N people will be more than satisfied with N+1 dishes; the portions are quite generous [thumbs up].
5. **Accommodation:** Overall, I was happy with the room, but it was incredibly hot on the first night. The AC was on all night, and it was still hot [black question mark]. I pulled back the curtains and felt the glass – it was scorching [facepalm]! I don't know why this building absorbs so much heat but dissipates it so poorly, probably great for winter guests [frustrated]. Also, the large floor-to-ceiling window facing east doesn't have thick curtains, so you'll automatically wake up with the sun in the morning [facepalm]. The room is very spacious, and the shower and bath were excellent. It takes about an hour to fill the bathtub [sleeping face]. My personal tip is to fill it with hot water for 45 minutes, then add cold water for about 10 minutes, and it'll be perfect for a soak [sidelong glance]."
