Semakan
Beautiful architecture, amazing service, great view. But the food… was a huge disappointment. I was expecting a 5 star hotel meal, not a 29.99 dollar all you can eat meal. I know it is a buffet style dinner so you can’t really complain about the temperature or the freshness of food that much. But a lots of food were not seasoned properly, where simple things like soups and pasta being too sweet, too blend or too salty. Selection of desserts were good, in comparison to the food. Breakfast was much better than dinner as selection of bread was fresh and delicious, but the warm food section still had some unseasoned low quality food.
Aside from the food, staffs at concierge desk and the fronts were all so sweet and gentle. We stayed in the gallery deluxe, which give access to view in 3 directions as well as a private balcony. Condition of the room was great, I could tell it was being maintained with care. The architecture is absolutely stunning and creates beautiful scenery with the nature. I would definitely go back for the view and spa. But next time I come back I would probably not get the complimentary meals with hotel.

Location confronts the seaside, accommodation comfortable and serenely intact, and the spa is Omorovicza. Check-in requires a lengthy wait-time, staff are limited in English capabilities, rooms are strictly cleaned once a day regardless of the request of the guest, culinary menu is the same at each restaurant, spa staff snobby, and barely any non-Korean guests whatsoever.

If you're seeking an unforgettable vacation in Korea, you should give this place a go. It was designed by the infamous architect Richard Meier, and every corner of the hotel is beautiful. My favourite room type would be the corner suite that features a stunning ocean view, a beautiful standalone hot tub with a phenomenal view of the East sea, and seperate bedroom and living room. They have two dining venues; The Restaurant, which is the buffet restaurant, and The Chef's table, which offers some nice course meals.

Beautiful hotel with great Seaview. It's worth visiting here once when you want to get away from it all.

Pros: very nice rooms, nice view.
Cons: overflowing shower. Breakfast was a disaster. We had to wait 10min to get a table (which is not normal for a breakfast service). The buffet was not properly serviced. Personnel was clearly lacking. The choice was varied but look old and tired.
