Imagine this: crisp mountain air whispering secrets, breathtaking vistas unfolding like dreamscapes, and gentle laughter floating on the breeze. Welcome to Kensington Resort Seorak Valley, a haven of tranquility where adventure whispers in the ancient pines and quiet moments become cherished memories. From the moment you arrive, the warmth of the Korean sun is mirrored in the smiles of the staff. They're incredibly helpful, even if your Korean is as lost as a mountain stream in the forest. Forget cramped hotel rooms - here, you'll find spacious sanctuaries designed for ultimate relaxation and serenity. Picture plush beds beckoning for afternoon naps, private balconies whispering secrets of the snow-capped peaks, and ample space for quiet contemplation or playful romps with your furry companions. Oh, and did we mention the pet-friendly amenities? Leash-free play areas, designated doggy waste bag stations (because responsible paw-rents are the happiest paw-rents!), and even delicious treats at the resort store – your pups will feel pampered with peace of mind. But the true magic unfolds outside. Lace up your boots and explore a hiker's paradise at your own pace. Wind through ancient forests painted in autumn hues, conquer gentle ridges with views that stretch to the horizon, and let the mountain breeze carry away your worries. For those seeking tranquility closer to ground, meander along nature trails that hug the sparkling lake, where you can kayak its glassy surface, cast a line for elusive trout, or simply bask on its bank and soak in the serene beauty. As the sun dips behind the snow-capped peaks, painting the sky in fiery hues, gather in the resort's cozy common area for shared stories and quiet laughter. Swap tips on the best trails with fellow adventurers (both human and furry), learn a few survival phrases (like ”more treats, please!” in perfect doggy language), and savor the shared moments of peaceful connection. So, if you're looking for a resort that's luxurious, tranquil, and bursts with natural magic, Kensington Resort Seorak Valley is your calling. Just be prepared to leave your worries at the door (and maybe pack some hiking boots for you and your four-legged pals). Bonus tip: Don't miss the nearby Soraksan National Park Visitor Center! It's a treasure trove of information about the park's trails, natural wonders, and cultural history. You can even pick up a map and plan your own personalized adventure through this majestic landscape.
바다도 적당히 보이고 한적하게 쉬기 좋은 방이예요~무엇보다 깔끔,청결,친절이 돋보이는 호텔입니다^^ 가격도 좋도 침대도 편안하고 편의시설도 있어 좋아요. 겨울이여서 이용하지 않았지만 실내와 루프탑 수영장 두군데 있고 수영장뷰도 훌륭해서 두번째 방문했습니다~ 요즘에는 평일오전 간단한 아침식사가 무료라 더 좋으네여 또 올게요^^
아무래도 고성군에 위치하다 보니, 마트는 걸어서 갈 수 없는 거리입니다. 미리 챙겨서 들어가야 합니다. 복층 구조인데 침대 바로 옆에 욕조가 있어서 좀 환경성이 떨어졌어요. 복층에 있으니 자기에 습하기도 하고요.
온돌은 엄청 따스하고 좋았습니다. 복층과 다르게 아래층은 엄청 건조하니 젖은 수건 깔아놓고 놀으세요.
그리고.. 청소 상태는 엄청 깨끗하진 않았어요. 곳곳에 먼지도 쌓여있고, 테이블도 한번 물티슈로 쓱 닦으니 까맣더군요.
큰 통창으로 바다가 보였는데 겨울바다 느낌 그대로 아름다웠습니다.
바베큐 시설(별도 20,000원)은 객실과 별도에 있고 숯이 너무 형편없어서 조개는 커녕 고기도 안익더군요. 추워서 대충 먹고 방으로 들어왔어요.
조금이나마 도움이 되시길 바라며.
