Lotte Resort Sokcho

Lotte Resort Sokcho

8/10 Good
"Pros: Rooms were very nice--spacious and clean. Convenient parking Convenient to arcade Convenient to seven-11 Beautiful views of the water, although the walkway to catch the sunrise was blocked off for security. Cons: Had to pay for EVERYTHING--you had to buy water shoes to swim in the pool. I wanted to just sit with my family at the pool, but I would have had to buy water shoes to do so, so I didn't. Once you buy water shoes, you need to pay for towels and a chair by the pool. The pool looks much better in pictures...the water was pretty dirty and smelly. No coffee in the rooms or early morning available before 10 am. You have to buy canned cold coffee from seven-eleven and store in the refrigerator. Restaurants on site were empty so it made us doubt the quality and we went elsewhere."
