What guests think

Across the reviews for Hotel Aqua Palace, travelers consistently praise the stunning ocean and Gwangan Bridge views and the beachfront location, while recurring drawbacks include dated facilities, extra fees for some amenities, and frequent bathroom drain odors that affect comfort.

Rooms are often spacious, though many guests found the beds very hard or uncomfortable, and some noted noise from street activity or HVAC. Service feedback is mixed: several guests found staff kind and accommodating, yet others cited limited English support and inconsistent responsiveness. Expect great views and a convenient beachfront stay with trade-offs in building age, comfort, and maintenance.

The location is great for the drone show on saturday. The view of the beach is amazing. That is where the good ends. The beds was a box spring!! When we asked to change rooms to a real bed since we both have back issues they said all the beds were the same. We were looking in the open rooms and saw they were not the same. Then they said come back at noon (and waste our entire morning). So we came back at noon and they were still trying to give us a room with a box spring. Finally we took pictures of the two types of beds and they said upgrades will cost us. We get nervous bc they fought us so hard on changing but it was only $14 usd for 2 nights!!!! Ugh. Why fight with us and not offer the upgrade first? The pools are not included and each pool is a separate charge per person/ per day ($22 more… way more expensive than a room upgrade). There is no onsite laundry. They did hook us up with one free day at the pool after we bought a one use pass for our trouble but the pool was full of slimy algae. So frustrating!

We looooved the location and the view. However, the bed was rock hard! We stayed here for 3 nights and my body was not having a good time. It felt like a box spring instead of a mattress. Also, indoor and outdoor pool is listed but when i inquired about it... I was told indoor pool is only open weekdays after 4pm and the outdoor pool is 32$ per admission per person :/ no thanks. Our overall experience was ok but would not return.

Staff was available & helpful. Fantastic oceanfront view from the rooms. And the sky walk roof observatory is a plus. Great location on the center of Gwangali beachfront. A bit noisy from street activity. Hotel facility is pretty tired; holes in walls, some patched some not. And if patched not painted over. Scrapes & scuffs on walls & elevator & the ceiling was leaking in the lobby. Those things brought the experience down a bit. Rooms were clean & basic necessities provided: water, tea/coffee, slippers, hairdryer, etc. just needs some TLC.

The only great thing about the hotel is the view and the location. As a foreigner tourist, I don't recommend going there, the staff service was cold and rude. They don't speak any English. They charge 20 000 Korean won to use the gym per person as it was never said anywhere in the booking site. The lady was pressuring us to pay now. The hotel is not a 4 star hotel in any way. The reception hall feels like a cold shopping mall. The only nice thing about the room is the view, the bed was not comfortable and the room is pretty in bad shape. This hotel needs some renovations the elevator was rusty. I recommend paying a little more and going elsewhere!

1. wifi funkade inte och det tog upp till 5 ggr av att vi gick och klagade till de löste det. varje gång lovade de att fixa det men inget hände. 2. det luktade unket i badrummet och vasken läckte 3. värme funkade men lät så mycket då den halvt var trasig 4. Ac funkade och rummet blir väldigt upphettat på morgonen men när vi öppnar fönstret så finns det ingen hasp som håller den och fönstret kan flyga upp närsomhelst. 5. Man måste skriva på papper att hotellet inte är ansvarig om man får en kroppslig skada i deras byggnad, känns inte tryggt.
