일정상 1박체류했지만 평일에 시간되면 더오래 숙박하며 지낼만하고 파인풀에서 바라보는 바다는 오래도록 기억에 남을것같습니다.

오션뷰가 정말 좋아요 :) 바다가 잘 보여서 일출을 즐기기 최고! 수영장도 오후가 되니 그늘이고 적당히 따끈한 물이라서 부담없이 즐겼어요 바다와 정말 가까워서 위치도 마음에 들어요

깔끔하고 관리가 잘되어있어서 좋았어요. 2박했는데 침구정리와청소도 깔끔하게 해주셨네요. 가성비 좋습니다. 해송산책로와 해변길에서 산책하기도아주좋았어요. 운동좋아하시는분들은 머슬비치가 있어서 유용할꺼같네요. 걸어서 다녀오는 순두부집,생선구이집도좋았고 호텔1층에서 아침에 맛있는 빵이 따뜻하게 구워져 나와서 그것도 좋았어요~ 다음번에 우리집 강아지 데리고 오고싶네요~~ 추천합니다 ~~ [숙세페] 슈페리어 할리우드

두 번째로 방문한 세인트존스호텔, 이번에도 꽤 만족스러웠다. 첫 방문 때도 나쁘지 않았지만, 이번에는 전체적으로 더 편하게 쉬다 온 느낌이라 만족도가 더 높았다. 객실은 깔끔하게 정돈되어 있고 군더더기 없는 스타일이라 머무는 동안 부담이 없었고, 무엇보다 오션뷰가 역시 가장 큰 장점이다. 아침에 커튼을 열었을 때 바로 보이는 바다 풍경 덕분에 여행 온 기분이 제대로 살아난다. 위치도 확실히 좋다. 바다 바로 앞이라 산책하기 너무 편하고, 근처에 카페나 식당도 적당히 있어서 이동하면서 스트레스 받을 일이 거의 없다. 굳이 멀리…
