Paradise Hotel Busan

The staff are really nice and make me feel comfortable. The facilities are very complete, and it’s a cushy hotel with a great city view, good food, and space for hosting a conference. If it fits your budget, I recommend staying here.

I stopped by for lunch at this beachside hotel. The grounds are lovely, and the lobby lounge serves classic dishes. The pizza and club sandwich were good, though they come at hotel prices. Still, it was nice.

I had a good two-night stay as a first-timer. The annex is the newer of the two buildings, and my room there was spacious with a city view. I arrived around noon before it was ready, but the front desk held my bags. Water was provided each day, and you could request room cleaning. The plugs were standard American ones, so I didn’t need an adapter. There were quite a few amenities, but it was too cold for me to use them. I did get to try the outdoor spas, with several options at different temperatures and scents. Breakfast in the annex had a decent selection, and I liked the egg station. There weren’t any non-dairy alternatives. There’s a casino next to the building. The beach is right behind the hotel and an easy walk, nice for both sunrise and sunset. The bus station is just across one road, while the train station takes a bit more walking. The Blue Train station and capsule carts are also within walking distance, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. It’s a good place to relax. I first went to the main building, but the staff told me my booking was in the annex and kindly carried my luggage over. The breakfast staff were nice too. I think I went in the off season, when it was about 150 a night. I’d stay again on summer days, though I’m not sure how crowded it gets. I’ve read reviews saying it can be madness...

The pool and Cimer were a huge hit with our kids, who had such a good time they didn’t want to leave. We stayed for three days and absolutely loved it. The hospitality was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and friendly. It’s easy to get to the beach and nearby restaurants from here. We’re vegetarian, though, and for the price we wished the breakfast buffet had more vegetarian-friendly choices.
