The Shilla Jeju

Our multi-generational family had a fantastic stay! I have to commend the hotel's pool – it's really well-zoned, and the kids could happily splash around all afternoon. The grounds are lush with greenery, and being so close to the sea, walks on the beach and playing in the sand were incredibly therapeutic. Our room was spacious and well-equipped, and it was convenient for visiting attractions on the south side of the island. We absolutely loved the breakfast; it had a wide variety of delicious options. The relaxed pace of our trip, with both young and old enjoying themselves, was perfect for a slow-paced family vacation in Jeju.

A beautiful hotel with an excellent ambiance and sea views. It's quiet and comfortable. The breakfast and lunch were the highlight; both had a great variety and everything was delicious 😋. The two pool parties were super lively. I'd definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the Shilla Hotel, a South Korean chaebol hotel. The hotel and its surroundings, the room's color scheme, and hygiene are all excellent. The restaurant's breakfast buffet is rich and varied, especially the fruit, which is fresh. It would be even better if the flavors were more diverse. Most of the reception staff are quite polite, especially the young lady who checked me in on the first day. She was very kind and understanding, and I'd like to express my gratitude to her. The room service attendant seemed particularly shy and honest. The room cleaning staff, who appeared to be from other Southeast Asian countries, were also quite diligent and polite. In contrast, the service at the pool and buffet restaurant reception was a bit colder. Overall, for the same price, domestic hotels don't offer this level of refinement and experience, so I would still highly recommend it.

The environment here is excellent, with no musty smell as some online reviews suggested. The room had a faint, pleasant scent, and the facilities were well-maintained, feeling classic rather than old. Every staff member was incredibly friendly and patient. The food was exquisite; I had the best seafood noodles here.

Jeju Island Hotel Recommendation | Shilla Hotel The Shilla Hotel, with its Southern French charm, is located in Seogwipo, Jeju Island. The hotel perfectly suited my taste and is also ideal for family vacations. I absolutely loved it and would definitely stay here again. **Regarding Transportation** We hired a private car from the airport to the hotel, which took less than an hour. However, getting to the city center from here is not convenient. We chose this hotel specifically for a relaxing vacation, so apart from taking a taxi to Hello Kitty Island, we walked everywhere else. **Regarding the Room** We booked a mountain view room, and the scenery was lovely. Sitting on the balcony, we could enjoy a vast expanse of greenery, which was truly refreshing. There was one king-sized bed and one smaller bed, both very comfortable, and turndown service was provided. The blinds were a bit sheer, so if you're bothered by light, you can ask the hotel staff to install curtains. The bathroom and toilet were separate (wet and dry areas), and the space was very large, making our stay very comfortable. **Regarding Dining** The hotel's restaurants are all excellent. This time, we only experienced the breakfast buffet, but you can also choose the lunch buffet. The breakfast spread was incredibly rich and varied! Everything was exquisite and delicious. I highly recommend choosing a room package that includes breakfast when booking. For dinner, we found restaurants near the hotel, and overall, dining was very convenient. **Regarding Family-Friendly Amenities** The Kids' Island on the basement level is perfect for preschoolers, with various interesting board games that even adults would want to play. Kids' Club (Gymboree) requires reservations, and we didn't have time to experience it this time, but we look forward to it next time. The indoor and outdoor pools are connected, and there's live music in the evening, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Remember that the outdoor sun loungers need to be reserved, which is very convenient, and you get to use them for a long time after reservation. **Regarding Service** From check-in to check-out, the service was impeccable! There was a small hiccup with installing the curtains, but before we left, they specially gave us a cute teddy bear with blue plaid, which was a lovely gesture. The hotel's strong Southern French vibe makes for great photos! Walking to Jungmun Saekdal Beach involves many steps, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. The hotel's attention to detail is excellent, with a waterfall and even a small zoo. Two nights felt barely enough.

The hotel environment is lovely, with a very retro feel. Staying here really gives you that vacation vibe. The natural scenery visible from the hotel is beautiful. The only downside is that we were assigned a room at the very end of the hall, which was a bit far from the main hotel area.

Excellent! Besides the great facilities and service, the high-floor views were amazing, with mountains and sea. If it weren't for my travel route and schedule, I definitely would have stayed a few more days here!

The hotel staff generally have excellent service attitudes, and the front desk lady who checked me in was also very friendly. This experience was much better than at the Grand Hyatt. The hotel is very large, and although it's an older property, it's well-maintained. There are many activities available, making it perfect for a vacation. The breakfast is very generous. I'll definitely stay for more nights next time I visit.

The hotel is beautiful, located at the end of a cliff with a stunning beach. On a clear day, it could even rival Nusa Penida. The waves at the beach are quite strong, so be mindful of rip currents. Breakfast is excellent and much better than the local Korean food. I highly recommend the beef. The hotel's pool is also great. It's truly the most beautiful spot on Jeju Island.
