Elf Resort Hotel

Elf Resort Hotel is a resort set in the mountains of Bongpyeong, Pyeongchang. Reviews often call the European-village buildings and the wide grounds "like a fairy tale," and this is a place where the heart of the trip is outdoors rather than in the room.

A noticeably high share of the reviews come from guests traveling with children. The play facilities, the sledding hill, and terrace barbecues come up again and again, though there are also complaints about the age of the facilities and their upkeep.

What guests like

• Things for Kids to Do

  The play facilities, the animals, and the all-season sledding hill come up repeatedly in reviews, and many say the kids lost track of time.

• Terrace Barbecue

  Several reviews mention grilling on the terrace attached to each room without having to worry about anyone else.

• Outdoor Pool

  There is an outdoor pool, a water slide, and a hot tub, so in the warmer months you can work swimming into the plan.

• Mountain Scenery

  Reviews mention clean air and a night sky pouring with stars, and the rooms are laid out to face the mountain.

• Near Phoenix Park

  Phoenix Park Ski Resort and Phoenix Taegisan Country Club are 3.1 km away, a 5-minute drive.

Good to know

• Age and upkeep

  Some say the grounds are so large that upkeep falls behind, and reviews also note that the children's play equipment is old.

• Bedding upkeep

  Some reviews were disappointed with how the bedding was maintained.

• Terminal Transfers

  One review mentions having to take a taxi from the terminal and wishing there were a shuttle, so getting around by car is much easier.

Explore the property

European-style buildings line the foot of the mountain, and when it snows, guests often say the place looks like a village out of a fairy tale. The grounds are so large that a single loop around them counts as a walk.

Rooms come with a kitchen equipped with a refrigerator and a microwave, which makes cooking for yourself easy. Reviews mention that the cookware and tableware were well stocked and that the bedding felt hotel-grade, and the rooms are fairly roomy. The fact that many rooms have an attached balcony or terrace says a lot about the character of this resort.

Reviews say the bathroom and bedroom were clean, so basic upkeep looks fine. Some rooms have a bathtub while others have a shower only, so it is worth checking in advance if you are thinking about soaking after a day in the water.

An outdoor pool and a water slide make this a good match for a summer itinerary. On the flip side, some reviewers went after the weather turned chilly and were disappointed they could not swim, so it is best to factor the season into your booking.

There is a spa facility with a hot tub. It works well as a place to wind down in the evening after a full day outdoors.

Things to enjoy such as forest play facilities, animals, and an all-season sledding hill are gathered on the grounds. There is also a restaurant, a cafe, and a convenience store, so once you check in there is little need to go out.

The rooms face the mountain, so the view out the window changes with the seasons. Some reviews praise the autumn scenery and others were struck by the snow-covered landscape, and guests also mention that the stars are easy to see at night.

Key information

Location & nearby

Phoenix Park Ski Resort and Phoenix Taegisan Country Club are 3.1 km away, a 5-minute drive, which makes this a good base for a ski or golf itinerary. Phoenix Pyeongchang Cable Car and Luge Land and the Pyeongchang Mui Art Museum are 3.5 km away, and Blue Canyon Water Park is within 4 km.

The Lee Hyo-seok Culture Village and Memorial Hall are also within 5 km, so it is easy to cover the Bongpyeong area in one trip. That said, you get there along a mountain road, so a car is far better than public transport, and several reviewers say they brought food in with them.

  추워지는 날씨라 물놀이를 못해서 아쉬웠어요.. 아이들 기구는 조금 오래된 것이 많았고요...

  부지는 넓고 크지만 너무커서 그런지 관리가 잘안된듯. 리모델링 필요할듯 합니다. 이불청결관리도 필요한듯
