FINAL VERDICT: Family oriented resort that has everything needed for a family vacation. 3 Line summary - The property is located on a scenic coastside hill, offering views of the East Sea, Seorak National Park, and Sokcho city downtown is a 10 minute drive. Resort is constructed to offer panoramic vistas to guests directly from their room window & balcony. - Resort has everything needed for a familiy retreat. They have a large indoor water park(Sokcho Water Park), 5+ restaurants including one that you can do K-BBQ(Natural Soul Kitchen), large and fun kid’s cafe (Lala Kids Adventure), direct access to East Sea coast and the best Korean seafood shops are within uber delivery distance. They even have a mini golf place. - Lotte Resort Sokcho also offers various family oriented programs that I recommend you check out. We chartered a catamaran yatch and cruised the East Sea, went to a local strawberry farm and harvested a couple baskets, tried Lotte’s cookie house making program which are all available through the resort. WHEN: May 2023 WHO: Family of 3, including a 17 month old daughter WHAT ROOM: Character Suite Room We visited the Lotte Resort Sokcho as a family retreat in May with our 17 month old daughter. The Resort was our top choice because it had all the facilities that one would want one visiting a beach coast resort, and at the same time very family friendly as they provided baby amenities such as baby food, bed, moisturizer etc. We stayed at the Character Suite room, which is a spacious room that features a Lotte themed slide, hide&seek spots and children’s restroom. Our daughter had so much fun in the room - she rode the slide a gazillion times and played hide and seek with us. My wife liked the fact that the room had a good combination of contemporary designs and playful childrens’ furniture, all with safety in mind. Stay at the Lotte Resort was also memorable as we took advantage of the many facilities. On the first day, we went to the indoor Water Park which offered wave riding, a large lazy river, water slides of all sizes and a jacuzzi for relaxing. We headed to the BBQ restaurant (Natural Soul Kitchen) at dinner to charge up and had some fun cooking lobster, beef, pork and lamb racks. The restaurant also offered many Korean dishes that goes well with the BBQ we had ample choice. After a good rest in our beach view room, we headed up to R.9PUP, a pub on the 9th floor as the name suggests. The pub offers a wide range of Korean local brewery at a scenic view of the coastal beach. It was even better as the pub had a family friendly atmosphere where the young ones are invited to play the dart and chill on the bean bags on the terrace. All in all, this is a great one-stop resort that offers great view, nature, variety of dining options, all at the same time running large scale facilities such as the Sokcho Water Park. I definitely look forward to visiting again and with comfortably recommend to families looking for a good time toget
아기들을 데리고 방문했던 숙소였는데, 패밀리클럽 최고였습니다^^ 방 안에 자쿠지 욕조 있어서 바다 보면서 아가들 수영하기에도 최고였어요. 그리고 키즈클럽도 아기자기하면서도 지루하지 않게 다양하게 장난감들이 준비되어있었구요. 라운지도 너무 좋았네요. 1박만 하고 온 게 아쉽습니다!🥹
행행복한방랑자깨끗하고 모던한 느낌의 숙소 입니다.
깔끔함을 좋아하시면 추천이요.
저는 partial view 룸에서 투숙했는데 오픈테라스에서 왼쪽으로는 바다뷰, 정면으로는 항구, 비치 뷰, 우측으로는 설악산 뷰라서
다양한 뷰를 한번에 볼 수 있어서 멋졌어요. 반대 방향에서는 영랑호 뷰도 볼 수 있습니다.
고층에 있는 룸에 배정 받아서 처음에는 아찔 했는데 적응되니 괜찮더라구요.
가격대비 훌륭합니다
My family of 4 (two adults and two teenagers) just spent 11 nights at Smile resort. Although accommodation is basic, it’s clean and practical, with good location quite close to the national park, with few restaurants and convenience store near by. For a small fee m, you can do a laundry or dryer load. There is a ping pong table in the basement and nice outdoor sitting area. The landlady is such a lovely lady, very kind, welcoming and helpful. She upgraded us to bigger rooms, as we were spending so many nights there, she wanted us to be comfortable. She also went to the trouble to help us book a shelter (through her lovely friend) for our hike to Deacheongbong Peak. Although it didn’t state in the description, she offers daily breakfast of cereals, toasts, boiled eggs, fruit/veggie and tea/coffee. We loved our rest times there, especially the evenings, sitting outside on wooden veranda next to the river, playing cards, chatting and having snacks and drinks. Very peaceful place, feels like home and it’s a lovely compliment to the gorgeous Seoraksan National Park.
