Hotels With Pool in Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea

🏖️ Panak Operated by Sono Hotel Review 🌅 1️⃣ Spacious and comfortable Superior Room - The Superior Room is 48㎡, twice the size of a regular room! It's a great place to travel with family with two beds. 2️⃣ Magnificent sunrise from the room - Every morning, a fantastic sunrise unfolds before your eyes! I was able to start my day comfortably watching the sunrise from my room. It was a truly special experience. 3️⃣ The charm of the rooftop pool - The magnificent view of the East Sea from the hotel's rooftop pool is truly spectacular! It feels really special to swim and watch the ocean. 4️⃣ Private pool villa - It was a great place to heal because there was a private pool villa. I want to visit again with my family in the pool villa next time! 5️⃣ Panoramic view - All rooms have an ocean view, so I was able to enjoy a really great view. It was a comfortable time filled with the blue of the ocean, unforgettable moments! #East Coast #Beach Hotel #Sunrise #Morning Scenery #Rooftop Pool #View Restaurant #Pool Villa #Private Relaxation #Panorama View #Resort #Family Travel

Traveling with kids, this place is much cleaner after the renovation compared to when it was Sonobel. The swimming facilities were good, but there wasn't much for kids to do, so it was a bit hard to spend the whole day there (no slides or play structures). It seems good for toddlers, couples, or families who just want to play for a short time. The artificial rock was incredibly slippery; I saw two people fall hard. The tiled floor was also very slippery even with aqua shoes on. Barefoot was actually less slippery. They really need to pay attention to safety. The water was shallow but wide and varied, so it was fine for a day of fun. The accommodations are more luxurious than before. Breakfast was just okay. The staff were friendly.

Good service, friendly staffs, clean room. Very satisfied over all. I was traveling Gyeongju, so the hotel was a bit far from the city. However it is located near the beautiful beach. I would stay here if I travel the city again!

Rooms are spacious and the lake view is stunning. Breakfast is extremely varied and tasty, but the pastry section is to be avoided. To move around it would have been better to have a car, but taxis are easy to order. The slippers were the lowest quality we encountered on this trip, the other amenities were ok. The main downside has been the cleanliness. While surfaces could definitely have used some more cleaning, the bedsheets weren't supposed to be changed unless specifically asked, according to their green police. But the changed them anyways and lost my pijama pants. Reception did what they could to locate them, but they couldn't find them after 3 days. Extremely disappointing for a hotel of that caliber. Now I have to buy new ones...

Truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and the stay is comfortable and pleasant. The room is very spacious and very clean. Baggage storage is available as the hotel as well. Hotel is well situated near HICO which is really convenient to get to the convention center.

Service and cleanliness are satisfactory. But if you want to go from Ganggu Port, you have to go back a little bit in the opposite direction. The view was very good and satisfied though.

Really convenient to be near lots of restaurants, there is a really good bakery cafe in the same building & coupons for the bar across the road. Breakfast included in the stay is basic with eggs, toast and fried rice. There is juice but no coffee. Rooms are huge as is the bath. Only minor thing was the light switches are meant to be remote controlled but that didn’t work so you have to manually go to the switches on the wall near the door. Would stay again.

Super clean and spacious new villa in Hanok style. It's a bit out of town, but main attractions easily accessible with a car. Check-in was a bit difficult as we had no Korean number and communication was only possible in Korean. In the end a friendly worker helped us by calling the owner. Thanks again for his help.

1. Cleanliness: The bed, floor, bathroom, etc. were all very clean. I wiped them with the magic block I prepared before playing in the kids' spa bath, and there was nothing left. 2. Location: The reason I gave it 3 points (average) is because it is far from downtown Gyeongju, so it is difficult to access cultural heritage sites in the city, Bomun Complex, etc., so I gave it 3 points. However, since the accommodation is next to the ocean, if your main purpose is to use the beach in the summer, it would be 5 points. 4-1. For a family of 4 (2 preschoolers), the room I chose (1 queen + 1 single) would be enough, but since the standard number of people is 2, I regret paying half of the daily rate as an additional fee... Regardless of the size of the accommodation, most pensions these days have a standard number of people of 2. 4-2. I only had breakfast once during my 2-night stay. I was very satisfied with the simple breakfast without any frills, but personally, the price was a bit burdensome. (It's cheaper than large hotels.) 5. Facilities: It seems to be about 3~4 years old, and there seem to be about 3~4 buildings. Based on the building with the counter and the building I stayed in (the building with the rooftop pool), it was clean and nice overall...ㅎ The rooftop pool is warm water, and there is a screen, so you don't have to worry about the cold. However, you can't see the ocean from the rooftop because of the screenㅠ The shower room and bathroom were separated into different spaces, and the toilet in the bathroom was really uniquely for the disabled;;; (backrest, handle) Maybe because it was a disabled bathroom, it was also quite large. About the size of a disabled bathroom at a department store? On the other hand, the shower room is only for 1 person...ㅎ 6. Overall: If I go to Gyeongju, I would definitely visit again. It was a very cost-effective accommodation. (The East Sea view from the room was great!!!!)

We traveled with our three children. The facilities were clean and great, the beds were comfortable, and the marble ondol (heated) floors were wonderfully warm. It was also convenient to do some quick grocery shopping at the Hanaro Mart next door, which had Gyeongju local produce. We briefly used the indoor pool, but it seemed a bit unkempt, probably because it was winter, which was a bit disappointing.
