Sono Calm Geoje

Excellent experience for families. There's something for everyone!!

The bad: The room was darker and older than pictures. No microwave, tea, coffee or bottle water, cutlery was uncleaned and non stick pan was scratched lots. We booked a suite which came with a double bed only and some bedding for floor sleeping. The onsuite bathroom was smelled of mould, so unbearable that we shut the door and didn’t use it. No toiletries except big bottle of shampoo/bodywash. No standard size bath towels only 5 hand towel size were given and they don’t have bigger towels at all. No sitting or the table on the balcony which was a shame. Fridge was off (maybe due to low season). One of the light was flickering and then dead. The good: the Italian restaurant was decent priced and quality, good breakfast with small selection of bakery so kids can get some if not keen on breakfast option. Big supermarket or convenient store for self cooking. Coin laundry room was handy. Staff was good trying to accomodate and response to my queries within the hotel limitations.

This was our third family stay in the Sono Calm. We rented 2 rooms for 4 nights for 6 family members. Service and maintenance has come way down since our last stay about 8 months ago. Management claims Covid 19 as an excuse, but the fact remains that they decided to close most restaurants at the hotel, including the swimming pools, sauna, gym, and other public areas which ruined our vacation. Hotel opened all these areas during the more serious Covid 19 months in July, August, and early part of Sept., but as soon as it hit the "Off seson" during our stay, they shut these areas down. I can only guess that less customers meant shutting these places down to save money... It's a shame... Also be aware that the hotel has a policy to allow only 1 very small towel per guest at each room. If you request additional, they will charge the room ! Also during our 4 nights stay, they only allowed 1 cleaning per room. I complained about this to the front desk, but I was told this was their "policy". Not many things to do at the hotel since they decided to shut down most places inside the hotel. Not much to do outside within walking distance either. We did enjoy the " yacht" ride for 45 minutes, and the hotel has a very nice walking trail along the ocean which is connected to the hotel. Most hotel staff were friendly. Geoje is a very nice area. I would seriously consider other hotels next time when I visit Geoje as long as Sono Calm decides to continue shutting down public areas.

Easy check-in, we had a family of five in a two bedroom condo, but only one bed. One room is Korean style, sleep on the floor. Very nice view, livingroom with balcony and kitchen that comes with kitchenwares. Several restaurants and cafes right outside the resort within a few minutes of walking distance. Very nice walking/running path, boardwalk along the coast is nearby. Waterpark and spa entrance is not included with regular room rate. I would recommend this place to my friends.
