Ananti Namhae

When you pay all the money to stay at an allegedly 5 star hotel, you expect better service. Small things (like super early closing time for restaurants, highly limited indoor pool access, and no such thing as an extra water bottle etc) really bothered me. Big things (like outdated bathrooms and falling off tiles on the outdoor pool with limited seats) will turn off my return to this place. Granted the site is relaxing and bookstore is addition. Still, you expect more when you pay these rates.

Stayed here in the penthouse overlooking the bay and the garlic fields - it’s a nice and quiet view. Clean hotel clean facilities - the staff always greet you in the stores, restaurants, and even along the walking paths. I came when it was a national Children’s holiday here so it was pretty busy with kids. Regardless the upscale atmosphere is still there.|The Golf greens, fairways, and tee locations are well maintained - and I recommend traveling golfers to play here as well|Food is also good with the Italian, Buffet, and Comfort food options|Because my Korean is extremely rudimentary (my fault for not studying better), still I appreciated the English notes scattered all around the property and inside the hotel room ||Beds, pillows (fluffy), blankets are comfy and interior deco are well laid out||The clubhouse (green fees and scheduling) are right in front of the Buffet restaurant before the Book lounge so everything is integrated into the same building||We booked a private driver to take us to the hotel and as soon as we arrived at the front drop off there’s a sign in English for Golf Bag dropoff. Make sure you label/tag your bag as they will use it for identifying your hotel rsvp and your assigned caddy||Play well!

This is a must play Golf resort. Thankful the inlaws got us in because this is a must play on your bucket list of golf courses if you’re a traveling golfer- I asked the caddy and he told me hardly any foreigners play this course - since this resort was given the recent highest rated golf course in Korea. The fairways are a unique grass that are well suited for the course proximity to the coast and the greens are really well packed. Id say about a ~12 on the stimpmeter even on cold or damp days. In someways resembles the grass on Hawaii’s Oahu fairways. There are also challenging long par 4’s that play against the sea winds and nice sloping undulations on the green that make it fun to play. The caddy’s can translate to yards and they do speak good golf english to help get you through play - I was fortunate as it was an enjoyable experience to speak with the caddy - he was able to line up my ball for a 25 ft birdie. Getting into the resort details - bedrooms, dining, living and baths are clean and well furnished, fluffy pillows, good support in the beds. There’s no gym but a there’s an indoor and outdoor pool thats occupied by families and the boutique shops are stocked full of books, and children’s goodies. The food places are a buffet that caters to the international audience - Korean, Chinese, Western, etc, an Italian restaurant, and then one with comfort food (Pizza etc..)

I went there for my birthday. But ended up experiencing trashes all over the places including the discarded diapers in the shower area. So I raised the issue with attendant, who then only took away the diaper.But this crazy hotel asked me to give me a photo, claiming that they cannot trust anything on my words alone. This is the level of service you can expect from 5 star hotel. Seriously all over the world, poor and uneducated people all exhibit the same behaviour it is almost funny. Intrusive, neglectful and deceptive, knowing nothing but money, making others suffer and their own feelings. If they are told to do their job correctly, their almighty feelings get hurt and then they aim to revenge. Hospitality industry has not suffered enough from the COVID.

Stay away unless you’re strictly here to golf. For a five-star hotel, the value is terrible. The hotel room was dark and severely lacked the luxury feel you expect when paying such a high price. To make matters worse, we found bugs and leftover crumbs from previous guests, which is unacceptable for this price point. The service was lackluster, with staff showing little interest in providing a five-star experience. They even tried to charge us $5 for ice, which felt absurd given how much we were already paying. Overall, the hotel fails to live up to expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you’re only focused on golfing. Save your money and stay elsewhere for a better experience.

Clean, great service, and great (expensive) food. Ananti is great for golfing groups, but also has a great pool and courtyard for families to play games. The price is steep, but the luxurious feel of the accommodations is worth it. Check out local restaurants (make reservations ahead of time at some places!) for better and more affordable food for dinner, but you won't find anything better than the breakfast buffet in the morning.

Cool to stay in!!The air is fresh and the area is very quiet to stay. Very relaxing!If you wanna enoy the pool, you'd better to get your swimming caps and swimming goggles.The pool is amazing! But the restaurants are not satisfying. It is very limited. Moreover the quality of foods is not ideal comparing the price. Service is also not good enough overall ,especially in the restaurants. The staffs seem kind of stuck up...Considering the price, they need to improve the quality of service and prepare more options for foods,too. Everything is overcharged.

This resort should not be rated as 5 star. Hotel service is terrible. To be specific, When requested for Towels, it took exactly 90 minutes even with escalating to manager on site. This may he a norm in Korea 5 star hotel but for my 5 star hotel experiences in the past, this is NOT acceptable and I hope Ananti staff realizes how bad of experiences this may be. This hotel is only about the golf course. Not recommended for stay
