Hotel Gite

Hotel Gite

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at this hotel with my 88-year-old mother, who has difficulty walking, and my daughter. The hotel was incredibly kind and upgraded our room by two levels, which made our trip so much more comfortable. After a long day of traveling, it was wonderful to come back to such a comfortable and relaxing room. It truly made this a memorable trip for all of us. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, but we especially appreciated the assistant manager who checked us in. He was so kind, thoughtful, and helpful, and made us feel very well taken care of from the moment we arrived. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and very spacious. We are truly grateful for the wonderful hospitality and the unforgettable experience. We would definitely love to stay here again!"

Kumho Hwasun Spa Resort

Kumho Hwasun Spa Resort

8/10 Good
"Great Value Resort with a Fun Water Park This resort was an excellent value for our family road trip through Jeolla Province. While there are now many newer resorts and water parks in Korea, this place still offers a great experience for the price. Helpful Tip for International Travelers: Most Korean water parks and hotel pools require proper swimwear and some form of head covering, usually a swim cap. Many places will also allow a baseball cap or rent you a swim cap for a small fee. If you plan to use the water park, come prepared to avoid any inconvenience. Also note that water park and bathhouse access requires an additional fee like $20 for bothe access to water park and bth house, which i find it very fair value. The resort has beautiful mountain views and good amenities. Our room included a basic kitchen with cookware and utensils, making it easy to prepare meals. There are also restaurants on-site. Although the resort is older, the rooms appear to have been updated recently and were comfortable and clean. The water park was plenty of fun for our family, and overall I would rate the experience 9 out of 10 for value alone. Even if you don't use the water park, this is still a worthwhile stop for travelers passing through the area. As a bonus, there is a dinosaur footprint site nearby, known for having one of the highest concentrations of dinosaur footprints in the world, making for an interesting side trip during your stay."
