WE Hotel Jeju

We had a very enjoyable stay at the WE (water and energy) hotel. My husband, my 3 year old daughter and I were well looked after - the staff were very kind and while we couldn't speak Korean we always managed to find an English speaker amongst them. Our room was spacious and came with a double bed and a single making it a perfect family room. The swimming pools (there are 4, two inside and two outside) were great - nice and warm for the little one, one shallow enough for her to walk in and lots of space. The hotel insist on swimming hats, like many places in Korea, but were able to sell us two for a minimal price (a couple of pounds). There was also the possibility to buy swimming costumes and inflatables if needed. The food was superb and we enjoyed a wide range of Korean foods. The chefs were happy to serve simply foods for the less adventruous 3 year old too. Breakfast was continental, cooked and Korean. The gardens are extensive and good for a walk about. The location of the hotel is perfect for visiting other parts of Jeju island. Nearby is Mt Hallasan, in fact the hotel is part way up the moutain. There is access on the hotel side to 3 of the 5 ascent routes. Also Seoqwipo is a great city to visit but Jeju is not so large so many locations are easily accessible. We visited the Manjangul lava tubes, the beaches, Osulloc tea estate - all within an hour of the hotel with a hire car.
