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.
AAnnabel03Has parking space but the lots are stacked (in a square) and another car might block you from coming out if you are parked in the inner square. it is mandatory to leave all the car keys at lobby. I assume that this is so, others can shift ur car if they need to get out of the parking (if your car is blocking theirs) Check-in was abit confusing, there is no one manning the lobby desk and the instructions are to call a phone number (so if you book this accoms, make sure you have a korean phone number that can make calls). After calling, the person answering is not able to communicate in English, he used a digital translator (tagged to the call) to communicate. I was instructed to leave car keys on the lobby desk and take my check-in key from the desk. Although the desk is un-manned, there are plenty of CCTVs around the place.
The room was spacious and nice and it was an urban room design. The toilet was also very spacious, however there is no door to separate the shower area, so the whole toilet might become wet during showers. When i first arrived, i found a roll of toilet paper on the floor, not too sure how that happened…..
The fridge didnt have a light inside, but the inside was still cold but it was also winter season so we couldnt tell whether the fridge was working or not.
The room has an aircon and heater that works well.
check out was smooth, we just left the keys on the counter and left.
FfscholarThe Ocean Blue Hotel was in fact quite nice, although I had been a bit concerned before I checked in. Room was clean in general. Two bottles of water were provided every day. TV was good. Wifi was fast. I did not have a chance to have a meal at the hotel. It is about 10 minutes to walk from the Jeju ICC. The room was very cheap with an amazing value. One issue is there is nothing within 10 minutes in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. For me, I had a meeting at the ICC, so it was okay.
