우선 경포대와 경포호수를 앞 뒤로 품고있다는 아주 큰매력이 있는 숙소이고 객실청결또한 우수했습니다. 주변 먹거리와 도보 5분안에 있어서 입지또한 최고 하지만 한가지 아쉬운게 12시이후에 편의점이 문을 닫아서 외부 편의점을 가려면 로비층까지 내려가서 구석뒤로 문이 딱 하나 열려있어서 처음가시거나 길눈 어두우신 분들은 밖에 나가셨다 들어오실때 고생을 하실거같았어요 뭐 그거빼고는 아주 좋은 숙소였습니다

체크인 때 의견을 잘 반영해서 알맞은 방을 배정해줘서 2박 3일 머무는 동안 늘 기분좋았다. 호텔 앞은 경포바다, 뒤는 경포호수를 볼 수 있는 좋은 위치에 서있다. 사우나는 탕은 3개이고 크지 않지만 한적하고 깔끔해서 이용하기 편했다. 드라이기와 작은 선풍기가 개별로 있어서 몸도 말리면서 머리도 말릴 수 있었다. 인피니티풀의 경치는 좋았으나 바람이 많이 불어 추워서 인도어풀장에서 누워서 몸을 말렸다. 인피니티풀 접수대의 여직원중 한명이 좀 불친절했지만, 전반적으로 관리도 잘되고 친절하여 또 오고 싶은 호텔입니다. 석식부페 질도…

오랜만에 강릉으로의 가족여행! 스카이베이 호텔은 알고는 있었지만, 첫방문이었는데 호텔 전체가 경포해수욕장과 호수뷰로 되어있어 뷰맛집호텔이네요.ㅎㅎ 호텔 디자인도 독특하고, 직원분들도 친절하시면서 얼리체크인도 해주셔서 감사했습니다. 다음 여름휴가때 또 오고 싶네요♡

위치가 경포해변 바로 앞이라 편리했고 뷰도 좋았어요. 사우나 시설도 괜찬았고 베이커리와 부대시설 좋았으나 방이 좀 좁은것이 흠.
