We stayed two nights at Paradise Hotel Busan. The room was clean and well-maintained, though it felt a bit outdated. We were able to check in early through Amex Platinum and Fine Hotels & Resorts, but did not receive a room upgrade.||The location is excellent — right on the beach and within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The hotel’s amenities are strong across the board. We tried the hotel’s Chinese restaurant, which felt slightly overpriced, but the food quality, presentation, and ingredients were all top-tier.||The BMW Driving Experience was a highlight. My child loved it, and the staff running the program were fantastic.||Pool access was good but nothing extraordinary. The pool is just like any other outdoor pool. Cimer, the hotel’s spa/pool complex, is essentially a series of warm jacuzzis — comfortable but extremely crowded.||The breakfast buffet is terrific — a true standout. Note: Amex Platinum guests appear to be routed to the Annex Lounge for breakfast, which is more limited. We opted to eat at the main buffet instead, as guests with children under 4 are not allowed in the Annex Lounge. The main buffet had significantly more variety and worked much better for our needs. My child loved the fridge stocked with various milk and soy milk products. There were some complaints about food quality below, and they weren't reflective of my personal experience.||While hotel staff were generally very nice, my experience with the concierge was underwhelming. They weren't able to handle most requests, which I thought were fairly standard. In the end, it was often easier to handle bookings myself.||Overall, this is a solid luxury property with a prime location and strong amenities, though service consistency could be improved. I would stay here again due to the variety of their amenities.
