Phoenix Jeju

Seogwipo

The two-bedroom apartment we stayed in is part of the Phoenix Resort just 200 metres from the famed Jeju Aquarium. The resort is a huge complex and we were astonished at the crowd with the carparks packed to the rafters. The apartment is nothing to crow about. It very dated but it does its job, with all amenities including air-con in this warm summer period functional. The real gem of the resort is the surroundings of vast greenery, beach and sea view with many kids and families happily wandering and taking pictures around the property.

Nice surroundings

The compelling reason to stay at the Phoenix is undoubtedly its simply awesome grounds in Seopjikoji : ocean views from cliff-side walking paths, “seas” of flowers, grounds full of treasures just waiting to be explored ….yet a place to easily find peace & serenity. When I booked for my solo stay, the smallest accommodation that was available was a 2 bedroom/ 2 full bathroom “apartment”, complete with a living room, generous balcony and full eat-in kitchen. One of the bedrooms had a western bed, while the other with a traditional Korean bed (floor mattress).  The unit was spacious and clean, but very basic and a bit tired.  It did however, have walls of windows allowing for loads of natural light.  Central AC kept the unit comfortable during the warm days and the patio doors and windows open made sleeping very comfortable at night My unit was in a building that had a handy convenience store and laundry in it.   
While the resort pool had a comfortable temperature, the depth is very shallow. - too shallow for laps.  Still, it was nice to just relax in the evening. The lifeguards clear the pool 30 minutes before closing time, so plan accordingly. 
One of the hotel restaurants has a buffet dinner (albeit a bit pricey)  with many local delicacies,  including lots of local seafood. Another, has picnic tables and BBQ grills where guests cook their own food provided by the restaurant.  I recommend reserving a table for a sunset dinner there!  Parking was included in accommodation costs.   
If I come back to Jeju, I would most definitely stay at the Phoenix JeJu again.

Awesome Grounds In Seopjikoji!

Ugly and old hotel , no one speaks English, no western restaurant , and obligation to take shuttle bus to get to restaurant .... absolutely to be avoided ....
And the service is not very good neither .... 


Awful experience !!!!!

There were many great factors in this resort having beautiful view, aquarium near by, clean air, relaxing atmosphere, breakfast was outstanding. On and on.... But while the resort is with all the goods and great natural resources, I wasn't sure if I was in resort. Felt like I was in very nice and well assorted apartment. I wasn't sure if I was at Jeju. While the other resort area have a atmosphere of "resort", it was questionable. 

Although, there is also a point of view how vacation doesn't need to take place is so very special place. This resort is not packed with tourists, which gives you a very "rich" atmosphere. Enjoy walking, enjoy reading book to your child, enjoy just watching the ocean or simply take a nap with nice wind.

Are we at resort?

Had meeting at the hotel; claimed to be very nice natural resources.   
Also, location where Korean drama took place.

Guess could be winter; too cold & too windy. 
Never enjoy much but the sunset is still pretty!

But, the seafood in Jeju is still something that I’d recommend.   Seaweed soup; raw fish.

Even the local noodles restaurant is nice & not costly.

Very quiet place & over priced 

It is a resort with 4 stars, but nothing fancy about the place. It is marked by time and years of use. The service is below average (only 5 small towels in the room for 5 people, not daily cleaning). The place only has two expensive restaurants with limited items. To be fair it was very delicious. 

Old and worn out

We stayed here for one night. There were 6 of us. 2 rooms with bed and a room for sleeping on floor (traditional korean style). We had 2 bathrooms. The other one was ensuite. The view was ok. There was also a fridge, microwave, cutleries and glasses. I liked that we were able to hang our wet clothes from swimming in the outdoor area of the room. 
One thing that we have experienced though, is that the toilets get blocked easily. And the last person who used it totally blocked it to the point it did not flushed at all! There were not enough towels for all of us. And no bathroom mats.
No toiletries as well, so you have to have your own ones. 

I can come back here but would definitely not be my number one choice. 

Great views, however...

The facilities seem relatively new, but does not seem like upkeep is of high priority.  It does not seem that anything is included with the price of the room.  The room we stayed in was a suite with two bedrooms.  One bedroom had a western style bed the other was traditional Korean with sleeping mats.  The living area had a couch that could be used for sleeping.  WiFi is non-existent there except in the lobby area so you better have a WiFi hotspot if you would like to stream NetFlix of check email from your room.  Small kitchenette was in the room.

There are some nice trails to the ocean and it is quite peaceful, but on the flip side nothing is close by, so you will need some form of transportation unless you want to pay for the overpriced food at the resort.  There is an aquarium next door you can walk to, but it is a bit pricey.  I would only stay there again if the prices were more reasonable (~$100/ night) instead of the advertised $180 - 400.

Resort passed it's prime.

Because the accommodation is spacious, it's a great place to come with family or a group of friends. Where we stayed, it had a wonderful view of the sea. Moreover, it's very comfortable and clean. I came with my family this time, but I would come again with my friends.

Great place to visit with family or group of friends

I was ready for this, so I enjoyed staying in this place. NOTE: We had a room with 3 rooms: 2 bedrooms and a living room + a refrigerator + a kitchen with a balcony. The bathroom was a full bathroom with a full bathroom. The bathroom had a full bathroom. There was a small bathroom in the bathroom, but there was a convenience store, but there was no food on the side of the road. So we couldn't find a lot of people to go to.
