Jinny's comment:
The hotel is very quite and relaxing.
I think the hotel is not well-known because there were few people (tourists) present whenever I went here. My mom especially liked the desert in Podo hotel; a vanilla ice cream with bean flour. I would recommend this hotel for a meal.

Jinny's comment:
Going to Hyatt hotel every new years eve was something that our family has been doing for past four years. The hotel did special events during new years eve. The rooms are very tidy, but there is no sound proof. When we stayed in Hyatt, we could hear people talking next door and during new year's eve, it was awfully noisy. 

The breakfast buffet was very good. There are Korean food and Western food. I also liked the café because the place was surrounded by plants and there was pond.

Jinny's comment:
The Shilla hotel is luxury. I would recommend this hotel for tourists who have children. I went here few times for relaxation and dinner. The garden is superb; I have never seen a hotel having this big and neatly organized garden in Jeju. There are place for camping, small animals (birds, rabbits, and chickens), and the beach. The private beach house is right in front of the Jungmun Beach. There is also the kid's island: reception, fun village (sports and arcade), coking cabin, creative cave, hiding place (book cafe), fun box, and gymboree club. I want to say, this place has great facilities.

There were many different foods offered. The food was satisfying, but pricy. I had high expatiation for the food because the facilities were really good. The bakery had great breads too.
