Seogwipo Designer Hotels

The hotel was nice and comfortable. Very beautiful grounds. Lovely pool and real spa bath. Kids loved swimming and the pikachu blow up balloon. Food was pretty expensive - buffet breakfast for example was KW80k per person which reduces to KW68k for guesses. However, right next to the hotel are nice eateries where KW60k can get you a decent breakfast for a family of four. One night we were lazy and didn’t want to dine out and hotel room service was expensive (eg sea bass dish was KW70k) we asked concierge to help find good delivery, whilst most restaurant don’t deliver they do allow takeaway, the concierge helped arrange for a nearby restaurant to pick my wife up to take her to the restaurant to order and to take her back to the hotel. One day we didn’t want to book a tour so they suggested an English private taxi hire which costs KW250k per day which was great. We were able to get around and go to places we want at our leisure without being rushed by the tour entourage. Hotel was really far from the airport (1hrs drive at least) but near the Jeju temple, Alive museum, the waterfalls, the Cliff, the bear museum (where you can make teddy bears and other attractions. Hotel rooms were clean and nice. Had separate shower from bathtubs but the toilet was not enclosed. Loved the toilet seat though with Biden and all.

**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.

😃Actually, it is right next to the popular Parnas Hotel, located in the Chinese Resort of Seogwipo. There are few people and beautiful scenery. The key is that the price did not increase during the National Day holiday, and the price-performance ratio is very high. The hotel is basically full of Koreans. I didn’t meet any Chinese people during the three days of stay. 😭, I will write down my experience for your reference 🌲Huge natural garden! 🏞️The vast sea! ⛰️The cliff trail full of wildness! 🏝️Comparable to the top island atmosphere in Southeast Asia 😃Stayed at the Life Hotel in Seogwipo, Jeju Island 🛖The atmosphere is not inferior to 🏝️The first-line big-name hotel in Nusadua, Bali, is also on the cliff, very much like the Bali Hilton, facing the sea, opened in 1990 and maintained very well, it only takes 2h✈️+🚌 to get there from Shanghai, it is perfect for lying down! 1️⃣Convenient transportation Exit from Gate 5 of the airport and take bus 600/601 to the hotel entrance in 1 hour 2️⃣Check-in Arrived at the hotel at 12 noon and was informed that check-in would start at 14:00. The lobby is located on the highest floor above the cliff, full of French style + Korean exquisiteness. After storing the luggage, go to the columnar joint belt + lunch, and come back to check in on time at 14:00. There is a person at the front desk who speaks Chinese 3️⃣Room experience It is strongly recommended to book a sea view room, located on the top floor of the 6th floor. The room is very large, 40+ square meters, with a balcony facing the south sea view. Bathtub, shower and toilet are separated, and the minibar is moderately priced 4️⃣Entertainment facilities 3 swimming pools, indoor and outdoor swimming pools are connected, very large, with poolside bar, and LIVE at night; the hotel gym, game room, and outdoor small zoo are very interesting 5️⃣Hotel environment and beach The hotel is a huge garden on the cliff, and the plant maintenance is great. Under the cliff is the Chinese bathing beach, which requires a mountain trail to go down. There are few people on the beach, and there is a volcanic rock, which is good for digging sand and catching the sea! 6️⃣Surroundings You can walk to the Teddy Bear Museum, the most beautiful Starbucks in Jeju Island, and there are bhc fried chicken and convenience stores nearby. The disadvantage is that there are fewer foods within walking distance, which is not as mature as other places. It takes 2-3km to take a taxi to be lively. It takes 10 minutes by taxi to the columnar joint belt, 25 minutes to the dragon head coast, and 30 minutes to the Jeongbang Waterfall, Independence Rock, submarines and other attractions in Seogwipo city

The apartment is very near to the theme park and provides free theme park admission. However, we need to drive out to get to the other attractions. Convenience store is nearby and the sauna and indoor swimming pool is a plus especially during cold weather. The apartment area does not seem to be solely owned by the hotel organisation. Therefore, there may be a mix of residents and tourists.

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.

*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

Great location at the south west corner of the island. Friendly check-in staff. Hotel staff was helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Garden view means car park view btw. Had a surprise encounter with a big spider in the bathroom but hotel staff came to help. I told him not to harm spider but to catch and release it outside. However my limited Korean didn’t get through and the staff killed it with a hotel towel 😩. Generally a great stay. Will return.

A great hotel which is really high end. Pools are great though not really great for small kids though was great they had free floatation aids. A shame Customer service sometimes lacked experience, food is great but expensive (even the buffet) and there were some strange limitations like the Italian didn’t serve pasta in the evening and 2 of the restaurants only served set menus. A strange juxtaposition as many of the people staying there seemed to be families. The last thing to mention is the play area is tiny. In the pictures it shows a big room full of toys which it seems is closed now though the website doesn’t mention it

The location is a bit remote, but the taxi was quick. When we went there, the gardenias on the whole wall were in full bloom and had a strong fragrance. Because the room has a kitchen, we didn't order breakfast, and it was very convenient to buy simple ingredients from the supermarket. In general, it is very suitable for a family of four. Disadvantages: 1. There is no blackout curtain in the bedroom downstairs. 2: There is no Chinese instruction manual for the kitchen facilities. 3: The washing machine does not have a drying function. Although the shortcomings are harmless, if they can be improved, it will make tourists' journey happier.
