Lotte Hotel Jeju

Great location! If you exit through the back door and turn left, you'll find Jeju Olle Trail Route 8. It's about a 2 km walk to the Jusangjeolli Cliff—a good tip to know for Olle trail walkers. Turning right leads straight to the beach with stunning black basalt rocks, absolutely beautiful. The staff were all very polite and helpful, capable of speaking basic Chinese, and communication in English was completely hassle-free. We traveled with our kids and didn't bring swimsuits because we assumed the outdoor pool would be closed in the autumn. To our surprise, it was a heated outdoor pool—the only regret of the trip!

Following the front desk's suggestion, we upgraded to the Charlotte Family Room with a balcony and ocean view. The upgrade offered great value for money. All the staff can speak English, though not Chinese, and their service attitude was excellent. The room included breakfast for two, but we had to pay for the child's breakfast. The standard price was 40,000 KRW, but with a 15% discount, it came to 34,000 KRW per day. The breakfast spread was lavish and definitely worth adding. There is a 7-Eleven inside the hotel, and you can also walk to Jungmun Beach. You can easily sort out all three meals a day right at the hotel, and charging things to your room account is very convenient.

Stayed here for three nights with my kid during the National Day holiday, and overall, we were quite satisfied. 1. The hotel is a bit old, but it's well-maintained. We booked an ocean-view room, and just hanging out on the balcony, looking at the sea and the hotel grounds, was so therapeutic. Seogwipo has a wonderful resort vibe. 2. My kid's favorite part was the pool. It's heated and comfortable, complete with a 38-degree jacuzzi. The highlight for the little one was watching the evening shows right from the pool. 3. Transportation is very convenient—the Airport Limousine Bus No. 600 stops right at the doorstep. Nearby, you'll find the popular Starbucks and various museums. 4. Right next to Jungmun Beach is a section of the Olle Trail, perfect for a stroll with great scenery.

The environment is lovely and the service is attentive. Transportation to surrounding areas is very convenient, and above all, the room is impeccably clean. It made our whole family feel so comfortable and at ease. A truly satisfying travel experience.

Our entire Jeju trip was spent at Lotte Hotel, and the overall experience was incredibly satisfying. I truly picked the right accommodation! Many people debate whether to stay in the northern area near the airport or the southern area, and having experienced both, I have a strong opinion. Although the south is a bit further from the airport and prices are slightly higher, the vacation atmosphere, scenery, and activities completely surpass the north! The northern area is generally quiet with not much to see or do, and it hardly feels like a vacation spot. However, the southern area boasts stunning scenery, a high concentration of attractions, and a vibrant mix of dining and entertainment, making sightseeing incredibly efficient! Staying in the south this time, I managed to visit almost all of Jeju's essential attractions nearby: Jusangjeolli Cliff, Cheonjiyeon Falls, Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, the famous submarine tour, Forest Train, Seopjikoji, and Olle Market were all conveniently visited along the way. The route was incredibly smooth, and I had a fantastic time exploring. The food experience was also exceptional! The hotel's location is super convenient, with a BHC fried chicken right next door, so you can grab some whenever you crave it. Nearby, there's also an authentic black pork restaurant with charcoal-grilled black pork that's incredibly tender and flavorful. I also tried Jeju's special grilled hairtail and braised hairtail; the seafood was fresh and authentic, a must-try specialty when visiting Jeju. Getting around was particularly hassle-free! The hotel offers a free airport shuttle, making transfers super convenient. Additionally, I highly recommend using Uber in Jeju. Just link your credit card before you arrive, and you can instantly call a taxi with a single tap, no need for loose change or communication with the driver. If you encounter a Korean address you can't read, simply use a translation app to input it; it's precise and convenient, perfect for tourists. The hotel environment is peaceful and relaxing, with a small path in the backyard leading directly to a seaside boardwalk, perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying the sea breeze. The outdoor pool is open until 11 PM, creating a wonderful night-time resort ambiance. Breakfast is also very rich, with separate hot and cold sections, offering abalone porridge, miso soup, kimchi, various salads, and hot dishes – ensuring a nutritious and satisfying start to each day. Overall, the southern area is the top choice for a Jeju vacation! It's comfortable, offers authentic food, and boasts breathtaking scenery. My stay this time was a perfect 10, highly recommended!

This hotel has a fantastic resort vibe! Joking aside, it really combines several key features found around Seogwipo: Jungmun Beach, an orange grove view, and even a columnar joint formation. The lobby even has pink muhly grass. The overall facilities in the room felt a bit dated, but thankfully they were well-maintained. However, the door lock broke while I was staying there (it was fixed). Some staff at the front desk spoke a little Chinese, and the service was decent (mainly communicating in English). The heated pool was excellent, and the kids had a great time. The on-site kids' play area is quite small, differing significantly in scale from what you'd find in a family-friendly hotel in China, making it more suitable for children under 2. It's quite convenient for shopping and dining nearby (though not for serious retail therapy, haha).

This hotel is located in Seogwipo. From the airport, you can take bus 600 or 601 directly to the hotel entrance, which takes less than an hour, making it quite convenient. It's within walking distance of the most beautiful Starbucks, and there's an Olive Young nearby that's much less crowded than the ones in the city center. It's also very close to the Jusangjeolli Cliff. Right next to the hotel, there's a small commercial area with a few restaurants and a convenience store, which is very handy. While it might not be as convenient as hotels in the city center, it definitely offers a stronger resort vibe. The hotel pool even has evening performances, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
