Stayed a night at the resort and the experience was average. Bed isn’t very comfortable and heating/AC takes a Long while to heat up/cool down. Best part of the stay is that they have a coin operated self-serve laundromat, and C U mart at B1. Not forgetting Starbucks too at L1.
Breakfast spread is decent, taste is average.
The resort with 500+ rooms located close to Sokcho city and Sorak mountain. If you have a car it’s very convenient to travel between places. We stayed 2 nights. Rooms are spacious. Can up to 5 people sleep in the room. Front side rooms have a nice view of Waterpia water park. If you stay in this resort, it’s highly recommended to go to Waterpia park. It’s lot of fun with many water activities. Breakfast is more a brunch, open till 11am. It’s with more Korean dishes including rice and noodles and few western food like bread, scrambled eggs and bacon. Staff is friendly, checkin and out is smooth. We could even get checkout time extended by 2 hours. Recommended.
We went is this hotel during Pyeongchang Olympic, we booked around 25 room, housekeeper tried to raped one of our colleagues, cleaning is never done, money, cigarettes and food have been stolen in room, and when we asked explication, nobody speak English and understand nothing ! I never seen hôtel like that.
This is a huge resort with tons of rooms situated in different buildings that are all linked. We stayed in a little family 'suite' with a queen bed in a bedroom, a queen bed in the living room and a little kitchenette/dining area. It was clean, very spacious and adequate for a night's stopover. Great views of the surrounding mountains - one could sit on the balcony and not move for hours! It is situated opposite a popular hotsprings water park/spa where we spent quite a few highly enjoyable hours soaking in the many warm pools and hotsprings.
The buffet breakfast here is fantastic! A few regular Western options (sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, cereal etc) and a lot of excellent Korean dishes.
Overall, an enjoyable stay in a nice picturesque location!
This is actually the first time I've been to South Korea and staying in Hanwha Resort even just for an overnight stay was the best. I really love their rooms and the view outside. Breakfast was festive and the staff were helpful and nice. There is a Starbucks on the lower ground just on your right upon coming in and the hotel is huge, clean and perfect to relax from the hustle and busy city life. Love to go back soon.
