Ulsan Yeungnam Alps Blue Tang

The bathing facilities are especially good for families with children. The water fills in about 3-5 minutes, though it cools quickly, and draining the existing water takes a while when you want to refill. The floor is worn and has been patched with stickers in places, and some room facilities are partly collapsed, but those areas are insulated adequately. Otherwise, it’s clean. Getting here from Busan or Ulsan takes about an hour, and there’s ample parking, with one spot per room. Cooking isn’t allowed and there are almost no nearby restaurants, but two convenience stores are beside and in front of the property, so you can buy food there. Delivery options are limited, so the convenience stores may be preferable to paying delivery fees. There’s no individual heating, and the boiler seems to run to maintain the bathing facilities, but it gets extremely hot. The refrigerator is small and has no freezer, which makes storing food difficult.

The kids loved the swing, and the hinoki tub smelled wonderful. The floor got so warm that I slept with the window cracked open. The room was small, but four people could lie down comfortably. There weren’t any cotton swabs, shower towels, or combs, but they did provide bottled water, juice, a can of beer, and Haribo gummy bears. This place seems to take its food seriously. We usually go to Bugok, but I chose this one after seeing a blog post saying it looked new. They even gave the kids coloring printouts when we left.

It was clean and comfortable, and the simple breakfast in the morning was a nice extra. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it felt like a good place for the whole family to bathe together in warm water.

The rooms were clean, and the mini pool was just right for my two-and-a-half-year-old twins. The owner was so kind and considerate that we had a wonderful time. Best place!
