I really enjoyed my ocean view. It was nicely located to everything. The beach/ water was minutes away. I enjoyed the Chinese restaurant onsite. The room was large and nice amenities. The hotel is a little outdated but I didn’t mind because it was very clean and spacious. Well worth the stay and I would come back again if in the area. I would highly recommend.

Stayed at the Aqua Palace Hotel and the room view was absolutely spectacular. The room itself was clean and comfortable, though the beds are very firm. The hotel’s main/common areas could use a little more attention and upkeep, but the actual room was nice and well maintained. The location was great — close to the beach, quiet, with a convenience store nearby, and only about 15 minutes from Haeundae Beach. Overall, a good stay with amazing views and a convenient location.

Yes, I paid for a room with a full ocean view, only to stare at a wall for two days. While other guests who paid less than me enjoyed the ocean view, it wasn’t the hotel’s fault. Expedia didn’t make a reservation for the room I purchased; instead, they sent a generic reservation. I’m extremely disappointed in Expedia’s service. To make matters worse, when I tried contacting Expedia, the website and customer service were horrible, and I couldn’t speak to a real person.
