Kensington Resort Seorak Valley

We stayed in a Mountain Deluxe room and we're very satisfied with the size and comfort. The staff were polite and managed well with my poor Korean. Close to local tourist attractions like the Seorak National Park and Jungang Markets (say a little over 15 mins drive). In addition to the adjacent beach, there was also a small playground and a half court for basketball out in the car park which my kid loved. The breakfast buffet was not astounding. Just adequate.

This resort has beautiful beaches and is very accommodating to travels worldwide. There is a bakery, gift shop, and international buffet that caters to those picky young ones. Your kids will love the robot strolls though when called. For the adults, all you can drink beer 😜 Additionally, the bakery has a great assortment of yummy treats to satisfy your tastebuds and shop has imported adult beverages.

Very disappointing. It is NOTHING like the pictures. The hotel is not kept up. There are no decent chairs, no sofa, no couch. There is a single plastic bench and seven plastic bar stools. No bath towels, only hand towels. No eatery outside. No beach towels available even for purchase. No beach lounges or chairs. “Restaurant” is nasty with little to no hygiene practiced and is only a very expensive/disappointing buffet. This is NOT a 4 star resort, but is a 2 star motel on the beach. They want to fine guests who don’t bring recycling down the hall to a recycling bin. There is no daily room service. The beds are hard. The bath in one room didn’t work. The room refrigerator didn’t work. This place is over promised and under delivered!
