Haemaeul Pension

The floor-to-ceiling windows give you a stunning view of the ocean, and Iho Tewoo Beach is within walking distance. The rooms are clean. It’s a great area for a beach walk or run, and also makes an ideal course for a drive.

The location is great, there’s parking, and a convenience store is right next door. The view is amazing, and both the room and bathroom are spacious. But the room wasn’t very clean: there was short hair and body hair, presumably a man’s, scattered on the floor beside the bed, and the bedding smelled unpleasant. The facilities are a bit old and need renovation. Maybe because it’s near the coast, the humidity is high, and the wallpaper looks like it’s there. Cooking isn’t allowed, though you can use the refrigerator and microwave. I wonder if they gave us a 2-liter water bottle for a two-night stay. A smaller bottle would’ve been easier to carry and drink. The view is nice, but passersby can see straight into the room from the parking lot right in front, and you make eye contact with them. That made it hard to really enjoy the view.

The view of the ocean through the floor-to-ceiling windows is lovely, and it’s well located close to the airport. There was some noise from aircraft taking off, likely because of the location. I was also disappointed to find foreign stains on the bedding.

The bedding was dirty, and the room was cold. They didn’t provide heating, and asked whether 23 degrees wasn’t enough. I wore thermal underwear and several layers, held hand warmers in both hands, and slept with them in my pockets. The 130,000 won felt like such a waste. I’ve been to Jeju more than 100 times, and this was the worst.
