Awesome place close to Haeundae beach”

The hotel is located right in front of Haeundae beach. Coming to the hotel by personal car can be troublesome because you cannot turn left into the hotel parking but a big detour is necessary. However, parking staff was very attentive and professional (automatic car park). The room is clean and spacious. The hotel is close to everything you need; restaurants, beach and even convenient store outside on the ground floor is good for late night snacks or some booze.

Not at all worth the price. ”

Be aware there is a typo on the listing. The deluxe rooms are not shower and bath, it’s shower OR bath. Because of this I didn’t request a room with a bath. My room only had a shower. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, taking baths helps my muscles and during COVID I can’t go to public baths. I booked this hotel BECAUSE it had bathtubs. When my room didn’t have a bath I was told there were no other rooms with baths unless I took a big downgrade to a “non updated room”. I now had to exit the hotel, go to the car garage, and take THAT elevator to my room (please note I’m pretty sure there were no emergency stairs on my floor and if there were they were not indicated as such). The new room was okay, not a deluxe which is what I paid a lot of money for, and didn’t get a refund despite being given a room that can not be deluxe considering the mold and when comparing it to the deluxe room. It also had windows that were blacked out for some reason? The location was excellent and the room was acceptable had I not paid the cost of a deluxe room and been admittedly downgraded without a refund. The cleaning staff was super nice and helpful once we got to the room. Overall I can only review the room I stayed in compared to the price I paid- and it was very much not worth it.

Small details could make a big difference”

I loved our visit to the Hotel Aqua Palace. However, there was not enough hot water for our showers and the hand held shower did not work in our room. The water park was a lot of fun (although quite pricey at 15,000 KRW each) but I wish there had been more signs in English. I also wish the 15,000 KRW was good for multiple entries into the park. The location was great. The staff was helpful, even assisting at the curb when taxis were needed. Very nice staff all around.

Waterpark in hotel, across the street from beach and close to restaurants

We stayed right before the high season so not as many people and price was better. The water park wasn't completely up and running but good enough and our 9-year old enjoyed it. More importantly, we had a sea and city view and the water was right across the street from the beach. Also, there were many restuarants to pick from a short walk away and other attractions a short taxi ride away. We had to change rooms because no hot water but, after that, it was a perfect place for a short stay on our way to Jeju.

Paying for the location”

location, skybar, proximity to beach

The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, a few steps from a famous beach. The sky-bar looks out over magnificent views, and the neighbourhood is a great one. The condition hotel is pretty poor; my fifteenth-floor room had great views but also a constant wet patch bit of carpet just outside the bathroom, which the maids simply covered with towels. The carpets are in a terrible condition. Ultimately, not really worth the money I paid for, especially as 150,000KRW more would have got me the same amount of nights in the INFINITELY superior Hyatt Hotel that you can see in the distance.
