Room had been updated but hallways, lift outdated. Amazing view of gwangalli beach. Very central good location. A lot of restaurants and shopping options all nearby. Bed a bit uncomfortable but staff very accommodating providing extra pillows. Bathroom clean. We didn’t get toom serviced during our three night stay but fresh towels provided daily and our rubbish collected.

I really enjoyed my ocean view. It was nicely located to everything. The beach/ water was minutes away. I enjoyed the Chinese restaurant onsite. The room was large and nice amenities. The hotel is a little outdated but I didn’t mind because it was very clean and spacious. Well worth the stay and I would come back again if in the area. I would highly recommend.

Stayed at the Aqua Palace Hotel and the room view was absolutely spectacular. The room itself was clean and comfortable, though the beds are very firm. The hotel’s main/common areas could use a little more attention and upkeep, but the actual room was nice and well maintained.

The location was great — close to the beach, quiet, with a convenience store nearby, and only about 15 minutes from Haeundae Beach. Overall, a good stay with amazing views and a convenient location.

There are many eateries, restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The hotel is opposite a beach. Transport by bus is convenient thought the subway is about 15min walk.

Yes, I paid for a room with a full ocean view, only to stare at a wall for two days. While other guests who paid less than me enjoyed the ocean view, it wasn’t the hotel’s fault. Expedia didn’t make a reservation for the room I purchased; instead, they sent a generic reservation. I’m extremely disappointed in Expedia’s service. To make matters worse, when I tried contacting Expedia, the website and customer service were horrible, and I couldn’t speak to a real person.

This property is right across the street from the beach and the drone show is accessible to be viewed from your room as long as you book the oceanview room. there might be a window in the room that might slightly block your way. However since you are right across the street and there is a top floor where you can access to see it, it will help out. We watched it twice: once on the beach and later in the room and it was more fun to watch it on the beach. There are plentiful options for food and entertainment. The hotel is relatively clean but as it is an older hotel there are some parts where it may seem aged or stained on furniture like the chairs in the rooms.

The bed was quite uncomfortable. Minimal pillows and towels which is kind of unusual for hotels.

The plus is that the area has a lot of restaurants and food nearby. It is a busy area when we went in September.

Staff was available & helpful. Fantastic oceanfront view from the rooms. And the sky walk roof observatory is a plus. Great location on the center of Gwangali beachfront. A bit noisy from street activity. Hotel facility is pretty tired; holes in walls, some patched some not. And if patched not painted over. Scrapes & scuffs on walls & elevator & the ceiling was leaking in the lobby. Those things brought the experience down a bit. Rooms were clean & basic necessities provided: water, tea/coffee, slippers, hairdryer, etc. just needs some TLC.

Deception, this hotel needs some love

The only great thing about the hotel is the view and the location. As a foreigner tourist, I don't recommend going there, the staff service was cold and rude. They don't speak any English. They charge 20 000 Korean won to use the gym per person as it was never said anywhere in the booking site. The lady was pressuring us to pay now. The hotel is not a 4 star hotel in any way. The reception hall feels like a cold shopping mall. The only nice thing about the room is the view, the bed was not comfortable and the room is pretty in bad shape. This hotel needs some renovations the elevator was rusty. I recommend paying a little more and going elsewhere!

The location is great for the drone show on saturday. The view of the beach is amazing. That is where the good ends. The beds was a box spring!! When we asked to change rooms to a real bed since we both have back issues they said all the beds were the same. We were looking in the open rooms and saw they were not the same. Then they said come back at noon (and waste our entire morning). So we came back at noon and they were still trying to give us a room with a box spring. Finally we took pictures of the two types of beds and they said upgrades will cost us. We get nervous bc they fought us so hard on changing but it was only $14 usd for 2 nights!!!! Ugh. Why fight with us and not offer the upgrade first? The pools are not included and each pool is a separate charge per person/ per day ($22 more… way more expensive than a room upgrade). There is no onsite laundry. They did hook us up with one free day at the pool after we bought a one use pass for our trouble but the pool was full of slimy algae. So frustrating!

Stains, uncomfortable bed, bad smells

The bed was painful to lay on. The room was dirty, the walls were dirty, the cushions had stains everywhere. It is very loud, you can hear each person in the hall and room on either side. The hallway smelled like rotten trash. The windows with the ocean view were covered in a dirty film from not being cleaned on the outside that made viewing difficult. We checked out and did not complete our stay. This room was not as represented in pictures or as described. It was false advertising. This was the most disappointing stay and I am not trusting of hotels.com representation.

Amazing place, language difficulties.

This hotel was super nice and I would definitely come back here. Points to mention:
- Sauna/Jjimjilbang: You get 30% off the prices while staying here, but you do have to pay to enter. So, just a heads up if you expected it to be included.
- Hotel staff: The day we checked in was fine and there was a good English speaker, but the rest of the stay was iffy. Most of them had very limited english skills as well as the staff that manned to spa side of the desk. So, expect to be treated bluntly 😅. Have Google translate ready and I wish you the best.

Overall, super nice hotel and I would definitely stay here again with the convenience and big spa right there even though we needed to pay each use. Worth it in the end with affordable room rates.

We looooved the location and the view. However, the bed was rock hard! We stayed here for 3 nights and my body was not having a good time. It felt like a box spring instead of a mattress. Also, indoor and outdoor pool is listed but when i inquired about it... I was told indoor pool is only open weekdays after 4pm and the outdoor pool is 32$ per admission per person :/ no thanks.

A great location with a great view

The hotel is also connected to a spa so there are different front desks, but neither of them are labeled for their purpose. So when you check in for the hotel, go to the right for the Hotel and the left for the Spa. The Front Desk Manager wanted me to wait for the woman to check in (I presumed because she was already speaking English) but then another customer called over to the man that I am checking in and to help me since they would be awhile. The Front Desk Manager tried to check me in but almost charged my card two times after not even saying a word to me for five minutes. The woman finally came to help me and she was very pleasant and she took care of the card charges. She was incredibly helpful and efficient. The housekeeping staff will still try to get into your room or knock on the door even if you have the Do Not Disturb light on.Other than these two things, the hotel was very good. The bed was more of a flat and hard Korean style hotel bed, but that was to be expected. The Ocean View is well worth the extra money. I didn't try any of the restaurants in the hotel, but the bakery downstairs had some amazing breads and pastries. I will stay here again, and maybe even try the spa or the water slide next time.

Great room, amazing location

We booked the hotel for NYE 2013/14. The room was great. It was nicely decorated and had lots of special extra touches, like wine glasses, free blankets to use outside, hand warmers and great extra toiletries.

The best thing about the room however was the amazing view over Gwengali Beach and Gwengali bridge. This was especially special the next morning - as we were able to watch the sun rise over Gwengali Bridge - along with 10,000 people below us on the beach. I think we definitely had the best view.

The hotel gave us special vouchers for free breakfast, waterpark and coffees, which was a lovely surprise, though sadly we only used the coffee vouchers.

I would definitely recommend the hotel and I would love to stay here again.

You can tell this hotel was nice at one time but it is now showing its age. Rooms have mold in the bathrooms and the rooms are hot in summer AND winter. AC was non-existant.
