Baekhak Jayuro Resort

Self.

There are 16 golf holes available, and it seems like a suitable venue for large events in the northern region. The resort serves golf course guests and consists of four seven-story guest-room buildings. It’s old, but it has been remodeled, so the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The main auditorium can be used for banquets, and outdoor weddings are possible too.

For the money, this resort is such a good deal, especially in peak season. It’s the kind of place I almost want to keep to myself. We’ll probably come back often while the kids are still in the lower grades of elementary school. We booked the biggest room for our group of eight. It had two bedrooms, each with a double bed, a single bed, and a really huge bathroom, plus a roomy living room. The facilities weren’t run-down. The stay itself was excellent for the price, but the cleaning was poor. There was a lot of pink mold in the bathrooms, and the smell of it was strong in what otherwise looked like a modern bathroom. The pool isn’t deep. For kids who are 120 cm tall, the water comes up below their chest. There were two inflatable bounce slides. Tables, parasols, and sunbeds cost extra, but we had to rent one because we needed shade. On the day we went, one restaurant was closed, so the pool snack bar couldn’t serve chicken. They don’t allow outside food either, so I don’t understand why they’d close a restaurant. Still, the accommodation is so cheap that it’s hard to expect too much. We ate at the barbecue restaurant, and the food was decent. You can help yourself to rice, side dishes, and soup at the self-service bar. There aren’t any restaurants nearby that deliver. There’s a pocha next to the barbecue restaurant, but the restaurant staff run it too, so it closes when the restaurant is busy. Maybe they need to hire more people.

The view is great, looking out over the whole Korean peninsula. This resort is in Yeoncheon, alongside Jayuro CC. It’s clean, and the interior is comfortable to use.
