Hanwha Resort Yangpyeong

Hanwha Resort Yangpyeong is an older resort tucked into the skirts of the mountains. Read through the reviews and the same sentence keeps coming back: "the facilities are dated, but it is quiet and kept clean."

It is not the place to look for the polish of a new building, but with a children's sledding hill, a pool, and a sauna all in one spot, it is easy for several generations of a family to move around together. Many reviews say that if you set big expectations aside and come to rest, you leave satisfied.

What guests like

• Stillness in the mountains

  Reviews saying it was quiet the whole stay, ringed as it is by mountains, turn up especially often.

• Friendly front desk

  Comments that check-in and check-out were kind and smooth repeat across several years of reviews.

• Things for Kids to Do

  Many reviews say the winter sledding hill was the most fun, and some found the Mini Land rides fine for younger children.

• Outdoor Pool

  The outdoor pool runs by season, so in summer you can handle the water play in the same place too.

• Sauna

  Some reviews call the sauna decent, and one even rates the body scrub excellent.

• Well-kept bedding

  Even with an old building, reviews steadily mention plentiful and clean bedding.

Good to know

• Dated facilities

  The disappointment repeated most often is peeling wallpaper and worn furniture.

• Soundproofing

  Several reviews say noise from outside the front door and between floors carried straight through, so it may bother you more on days with a lot of group guests.

• Airing out the room

  A few reviews mention a musty smell in rooms that had sat empty for a while, so it is best to open a window as soon as you walk in.

Recommended for

• A quiet rest in the mountains
• Winter sledding with the kids
• A three-generation family trip
• One night just outside Seoul

Explore the property

Set in the mountains, it draws plenty of comments about good air and water, and one reviewer even says the cough they had lived with in Seoul stopped. Walking paths and hiking trails run out behind the resort, but one review got lost for lack of signposts at the forks, so bring a map if you plan to go far in.

The front desk is open 24 hours and check-in runs from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. One review says check-in time was kept to the minute in peak season and they waited in the lobby, so give yourself plenty of room on arrival. The lobby floor has a shop, a cafe, and claw machines where children can pass the time. Pets cannot stay.

One review says the ondol room was roomy enough for three families together, and plentiful bedding comes up often. Because the heating is central, though, some found it hard to set the temperature as they liked, so factor that in if you run warm.

There are several restaurants inside the resort, and one review says the convenience store covered almost all their food and daily necessities. The breakfast buffet draws both praise and disappointment, so it is better not to set expectations too high, while the barbecue area is said to be kept especially clean.

The outdoor pool runs seasonally. Along with the sledding hill, it is the biggest draw if you have children, though one review found the walk from the room a chore, so pack light when you head out.

There is a sauna, good for loosening up after a walk or a swim. One review was even satisfied with the body scrub, so it is worth slotting in as the way to close out the day.

There is a winter sledding hill, Mini Land, a banquet hall, and laundry facilities, plus free self parking. One review was glad the parking was roomy, so bringing the car on a family trip is no burden.

Key information

Location & nearby

It stands on the mountain skirts of Okcheon-myeon in Yangpyeong, and step outside the resort and the forest begins at once. Reviews often call it a quiet resort on the edge of Gyeonggi-do, and the spot really is far from city noise.

Reviews do repeat that there is not much to see nearby, so it suits an itinerary that spends most of the time inside the resort rather than touring sights. It is easy to reach by car and parking is plentiful, so a light trip out from Seoul is no burden.
