애월 오션스테이

I loved this small hotel that is run by a lovely older couple. It seemed like it was of season as I had the pool area almost to myself the first three weeks of October. Lovely pool and only 100 meters down some steps to the ocean. There are even small barbecues you can borrow/rent at the pool area. Big room with a pentry and everything you need for preparing a meal. Silent and effective ac. Big comfortable bed. Shampoo, conditioner, soap and toothpaste included but no lotion. Three pairs of slippers. A pair for the main room, a pair for the bathroom and a pair for the balcony. Coffee and water is found in the lobby. No extra charge. Great place to just relax. Although everything is in Korean and the staff don't speak English, you'll get by with a translator app. I found a larger grocery store less than two kilometers away but there is a small "7/11" right next to the hotel. Lots of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The view from the hotel is spectacular. Some criticism. Like I mentioned. Everything is in Korean. I even had to use a translator app to use the ac remote control. Rooms are only cleaned every 4th or 5th day. The light switch for all lamps is placed on a wall in the main room. Even the lights for the bathroom. There is some kind of schedule for the warm water that I couldn't understand. There were warm water in the morning and after 3pm. I didn't see a shower by the pool. These are minor inconveniences that really didn't disturb my stay att the hotel.
