South Korea Yoga Vacations

Facilities and Rooms are breathtaking, Water House, Gym, Restaurants. However, as an experienced world traveler, there are a few critical things that they need to work on: 1) Not all areas are wheelchair accessible. No signs for ramps, doors to the Ananti Town are all manual, and forget using the Water House (which is incredible btw) unless you can somehow climb lots of stairs. 2) Very limited English speaking staff, surprising for such a high end 5-star hotel with plenty of foreigners. Google translate is a must if you don’t speak Korean. Even then, the interactions are awkward. 3) No a la carte breakfast options before 10am at the restaurants/cafes, Either you get the full buffet breakfast at the restaurant (expensive), or you have to get room service. 4) Front desk service very limited. At check in we got a sheet with some basic information about facilities and restaurants, a map (the hotel is huge), but no guidance as to what the options were for dining, hotel highlights, etc. It’s as though the staff is trained to minimize their engagement with the guests. 5) Ordering room service is complicated and not time reliable. You can’t simply call and order the menu, or easily use a tv, phone, or pad. 6) If you need a wheelchair, you must “go and get it” from the concierge. They won’t bring it to you. That’s right, WALK to get the wheelchair you need because you can’t walk well or at all. Overall an impressive hotel, but the service and communication is sorely lacking.

The property is in great shape.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in Korea. High attention to detail, very down to earth and relaxing. Honestly cannot recommend it more.

A wonderful stay. We stayed on the resort side. The junior suite is spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The basement fun zone is great, with video games, ping pong and a pool table. The swimming pools are lovely, don’t forget a swim cap though you can also rent them. The food is good though expensive.

We absolutely loved our stay at Banyan Tree club Hotel! The place is wonderful, our room was beautiful and very comfortable, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The restaurant food was delicious, and everything felt very well taken care of. We celebrated our 15th anniversary there, and the team truly made it a very special day for us with their professionalism and kindness. I truly recommend this hotel to everyone .. couples, families, or anyone looking for a lovely and memorable stay
