Lakai Sandpine Resort

Really cozy and nice Japanese style rooms. Hot springs in the basement was nice although you can’t get the full benefit during winter as the outside is closed. Service was great and breakfast was nice as well.

Shampoo was empty and the heating system wasn’t working properly.. Need a better instruction on how to use the induction. Spent 40 mins to boil the water to make ramen.

We were in Gangneung for a wedding. This worked out very well. We had a 3 bedroom / 3 bath apartment. The View was terrific! The only issue was that the furniture wasn't comfortable. We enjoyed several meals at the different restaurants. The place was fairly empty but I bet it is packed in the summer.

Being here for Global PharmaReseach Symposium [Rejuran], nice convention centre, walking distance to gyeongpo beach

Stopped for brunch watching the nearby sunrise at the beach which was on my bucket list. They had an English menu for us, the food tasted so good I am still thinking about it at random times, the drink I fell in love with, I wish I remembered the name, was put into a private lounge which we didn't ask for so was a lovely surprise. Absolutely beautiful view, worth going even just for the food, we felt very welcome.

Good to stay with playing Golf at Sandfine golf club

Location is good, rooms are spacious but aged. Breakfast was expensive for the poor food quality. (Had to pay 30.000krw extra for one of us) While having lunch at the pool they sent in the gardeners among the visitors with gasoline trimmers, it was noisy smelly and we got covered in grass sap. A complete mystery as to why they would disturb the customers like this during a busy day. I came here today to get some fresh sea air, instead I got queasy from engine exhaust and smell like a lawn. They took one room key as deposit for the towel included in the pool fee, this limited our individual movement, and of course the other key did not work when we needed to get back in a hurry. Once at the lobby we were informed that our working key in deposit was now disabled as well causing another trip to the lobby.

The resort itself is amazing. The resort rooms are clean, private, and have access to probably he best views in the area. The resort is also structured for convenience, with a few restaurants (although didn't get to try), convenience store, game room, swimming pool, spa, etc. The only downside is the staff. They're friendly and they try their best, but they're just not very informed. They need more training to match the quality of the resort.
