Hotels With Pools in Gangwon State, South Korea

The hotel boasts an excellent location and fantastic views. We were allocated a corner room with a great outlook. We arrived early, and the male receptionist informed us we could check in at 1 PM. However, upon returning after lunch, a different female staff member, who offered no smile, insisted check-in wasn't until 3 PM. We noticed other guests checking in, some even without a credit card, which felt inconsistent. After I had to complain, we were finally allowed to check in, but then they demanded a credit card for a security deposit. The attitude of the Korean front desk staff was very frustrating and made us feel extremely uncomfortable, almost discriminatory. Otherwise, everything else was fine, and we had a very enjoyable day.

The location is a bit out of the way, but it's convenient to get around by car. The facilities and service are excellent, the rooms are large and comfortable, and the breakfast is varied and delicious. I'll definitely be back.

It was a last minute reservation we have made to enjoy our national holiday and it surely was a great decision! The location of this resort is in prime spot right next to the Dae-po dock where for the seafood lovers you are in for a delight of fresh and cost efficient sashimi and steamed crabs. Not only that, the resort itself was very resourceful for the families who bring their youngs - massive indoor playground - arcade for the little gamers - quiet family friendly walk way into the shorelines - indoor water park (Stopping here because my fingers hurt trying to write everything down!) Lastly, the rooms were cleaned at exceptional quality with the ocean view. Definitely coming back here next year!

Everything was clean and the staff was so polite. They didn’t rush me out of the room. The photos match the actual room so I was happy about that. The pool and views were amazing. Thank you so much. Will come again. I also loved the location as it’s easy for travelers without cars. I didn’t get a chance to have breakfast as I woke up late but hopefully next time 😊

The elevator was uncomfortably hot because the air conditioning wasn't working, and it felt especially cramped when it was full. This definitely needs improvement. However, the facilities were excellent and very comfortable, and the overall layout was well-designed. What's more, unlike the heated pool in Sokcho which had an unpleasant odor, Samcheok's was perfectly clean and odorless. I'd definitely love to go back.

The location is so good that I visit often~~^^ Even though it's old, I visit often because I like the beach walk. I recommend the hotel because it's cleaner than the resort. I especially recommend the ocean view even if it costs a little more. It's worth it~~^^ I was in room 515, and the plaza was visible, and the bathroom was relatively clean.

My friends and I came to Intercontinental Alpensia because we got a really good deal and expected to experience snow right at the resort. The snow arrived a bit later than we hoped but honestly, we still had such a good time! The room was lovely, the weather was perfectly chilly (sometimes too cold.. so come prepared!) and we were lucky to catch real snow at Mount Balsangwan by taking the cable car at nearby resort (Mona Yongpyeong) We have to give a huge shout out to the in-room dining service; the Beef Risotto and Frutti di Mare Pasta were soooo good. Truly delicious! The whole area is so pretty and calm, especially with the Christmas vibe when we visited. Everything felt cozy and magical. We definitely plan to return! ❄️💙

Hotel is clean and fun. Our family enjoy much. They have treasure hut and uncountable lego blocks in the room. My girl loves this hotel the most in the whole Seoul trip. My girl enjoyed the little game in room, the swimming pool, a small warm pool, indoor children playground very very much! For car parking, we followed the naver map arrive the hotel. When we got there, they didnt allow us to park in front of the hotel, and we need to drive back to their specific parking area, and took shuttle bus back to the hotel again. This action wasted us an hour to go and back, and even waited around 30mins for check in. If they allow us to put down the luggage and do check-in first, and park the car later, that would be much better. It is sad for the 1st impression. And I found the locals would ask the staff to park their car for them to the specific car park. How come this could not be the same to foreign guests? One more is not good about the dinner buffet. This was paid, W90000. When we got there after swim, around 8-8:30pm, the food left not much.But they close at 9:30pm. They refill slowly slowly.

We booked the room for early Dec just before the ski open (off peak), some of the room was still doing some upgrading. It was a Queen bed with a bulk bed room and only realised it only 150cm in length. The bathroom include bathtub as well. Booking come w 2 free breakfast/day and the 3rd pax need to pay adult price 44,000 KRW. Not very ideal. Holiday inn should have discounted guest rate for breakfast. The ski open on 4Dec. Hotel no other facilities. Shuttle bus only 2 timing slot to train station.

I waited an hour to check in. They said it was because it was the end of the year, but other reviews don't seem to suggest that, and it looks like there's always a wait regardless. Even if it was a Sunday at the end of the year, is a 60-team wait normal? Shouldn't they change their system? I wonder if it's right to just leave so many guests in the lobby without any measures taken for the long wait. I thought I was at a marketplace. I couldn't tell if I was on vacation or at a training camp. If it's going to be like this every weekend and during peak season, who would want to come here again? Just the waiting itself is stressful.
