Real Reviews from Songwon University Travelers
숙소 후기부터 여행 꿀팁까지, 트립비토즈 여행자들이 직접 공유해요
알찬 여행이었어요.
자은도 씨원리조트 잘 지내다 왔네요!!! 진짜 오랜만에 장거리를 다녀왔는데,도착하고는 너무 잘 왔다고 생각이 들더라구요. 길게 있을껄 후회도 했답니다. 깔끔한 룸에 뷰도 너무 좋고,바다에서 놀아도 좋고,워터파크에서 놀아도 다 좋더라구요~ 저녁엔 와인도 마시고~ 아참 평일엔 조식은 뷔페가 아니고 단품이라 아쉬웠는데,음식은 깔끔하니 맛있었어서 부모님이 좋아하시더라구요~ 직원들도 친절하시구요~ 소음도 안 들리더라구요~ 너무 알찬 여행이었답니다.
아름다운 풍광 또 오고 싶은 곳
가깝다면 매주 오고 싶은 곳! 조식 맛있고요. 가격도 비싼 느낌없이 좋았어요. 남해 쏠비치에도 가보고 싶은 느낌들게하는 좋은 쏠비치 경험이었어요. 진도엔 문화와 역사, 음식이 모두 있어서 재방문하고 싶은 섬이에요. 그때도 진도 쏠비치로~저녁 뷔페는 음식이 좀 조식보다는 별로인 느낌이었어요. 신선도라할까 뜨거워야할 음식이 좀 식어서 나와있는 것도 있고 기대대비 약간 별로요. 조식은 최고였어요.
리조트 앞 해변이 너무 멋져요…!!!
힐링하기에 너무 좋은 곳, 40시간 스테이로 예약했더니 리조트 안에서 모든게 해결 돼요. 리조트에서 머무는 동안 주변 풍경을 감상하며 휴식을 취할 수 있었고, 아이들과 함께 물놀이도 즐기며 가족끼리 좋은 추억을 만들었어요. 복잡한 도심을 벗어나 바다와 자연을 가까이에서 느끼고 싶을 때 방문하기 좋은 곳이라고 생각합니다. 조식도 좋았고 키즈카페, 워터파크 부대시설 다 좋았어요. 쪼끔 아쉬운 점은 워터파크 물이 오후되니 추워서 아이들이 온수나오는 곳에서 나오질 않았답니다 ! 물 온도를 조금만 더 올려주면 낫지않을까 싶어요…! 저처럼 가족 단위 여행객라면 숙소에서 휴식과 물놀이, 두마리 토끼를 다 잡을 수 있는 곳이에요. 일상에서 벗어나 잠시 쉬어 가고 싶은 분들께 추천하고 싶은 숙소입니다. 아이들과 함께한 이번 여행은 오래도록 기억에 남을 것 같아요. 다음에도 기회가 된다면 다시 방문하고 싶습니다.
머무는 동안 작은 부분까지 만족스러웠던❤️
편지도 써보고 레트로 게임도 즐기며 색다른 추억을 만들 수 있었고, 큰 화면으로 TV를 보면서 편안하게 쉬기에도 좋았습니다. 덕분에 숙소에서 보내는 시간 자체가 즐거웠어요. 직원분들도 친절하게 응대해 주셔서 마지막까지 기분 좋게 머물다 왔습니다. 단순히 잠만 자는 곳이 아니라 머무는 시간까지 알차게 보낼 수 있는 숙소였어요. 다음에 또 다시 이용하고 싶습니다🙂
자은도 씨원40시간 스테이 이용 후기
40시간 올인원 익스클루시브 패키지 이용했습니다 아이와 함께했는데 리조트 앞에 바다가 모래놀이 하기도 좋고 깨끗했어요 저녁 단품포함 인데 코스요리 드시면 오만원 할인해 줍니다. 워터파크도 무제한이라 이틀연속 갔구요 키즈카페도 무료라 애기랑 같이 여행가기 딱 좋은 숙소였습니다. 조용하고 여유를 즐기시는 분이라면 자은도 씨원리조트 추천합니다👍
40시간패키지후기
아침일삑 광주에서 출발해 9시정도 체크인 했어요 아침 공기가 시원해서 리조트 바로 앞 해수욕장에서 놀다가 리조트 안에 있는 워터파크. 키즈카페 이용했어요 리조트 안에 있다보니 동선이 짧아 아이와 함께 여행하기 정말 편하더라구요 ! 씨원리조트 이용하면서 제일 좋았던건 객실 상태가 정말 깨끗하고 깔끔해서 맘에 들었어요! 9층으로 배정받았는데 바다뷰라서 더더 맘에 쏙 들었습니다 아이들과 또 방문하고싶어요 잘쉬다 갑니다 !
멀긴 멀더라구요
대구에서 출발했는데 역시 멀긴 멀었어요 그나마 숙박시간이 길게 주어져서 보통 체크인3~아웃11시 가 아니라서 그건 좋았어요 여유있게 갔는데도 좀 힘들긴하더라구요 이왕 멀리간거라 2박을 예약했었어요 가는날 황사가 심해서 주변 들러서 구경하고 사진찍는건 많이 못 했어요 호텔시설은 그닥 나쁘진 않았어요 저녁마다 와인시음도 재미있었구요 인피니티풀장은 개장을 안해서 못가봤는데 다른 야외풀장도 나름 애들놀기는 좋았어요 키즈카페는 너무 어린애기용이라서 초딩2 5학년애들이라 못들어갔어요 바다가 바로 앞이라서 바람쐬고 나름 잘놀았어요 조식도 나쁘지 않았어요 전반적으로 미취학아동이랑 오기는 좋은곳 같아요
아이들 데리고 가족여행에 딱
서울 근교 살지만 여름휴가로 마음먹고 자은도까지 가봤어요, 외진곳이라 식당 등 시내는 차 끌고 한참 나갔어야 했지만 가성비 좋고! 무엇보다 애들이 놀기 너무 좋은 바다였어요. 숙소 내 수영장은 미취학 아이들까지만 놀만 하고 좀 큰애들은 재미없을듯해요 ㅎㅎ 그래도 바로 연결된 바다가 모래도 너무 곱고 놀기에 너무 좋아서 돌잡이 둘째도 안전하게 놀만했어요! 먼게 제일 단점이었지만 아침일찍 출발하니 갈만했습니다 ㅎㅎㅎ 간김에 목포관광도 하고 여름휴가 제대로 즐기고 왔어요~
가족여행으로 다녀왔어요
여름 가족여행으로 진도쏠비치에 방문했습니다! 전부터 너무 가보고 싶었던 곳이라 기대감 만땅으로 방문했는데 기대보다 더 너무 좋았습니다♡ 낮풍경도 좋았는데 야경도 너무 멋있네요 인피니티풀에서 바라보는 바다풍경도 넘 좋았고 노을질때 인피니티풀에 들어가있으니 분위기 최고네용 국내지만 왠지 해외로 온것같은 기분만땅ㅋㅋ 원래 조식 안먹는데 조식이 맛있다해서 조식도 먹으러갔는데 정말 너무너무 맛있었어요!! 안먹었음 후회했을뻔요ㅋㅋ 산책로도 잘 되있어서 밤산책도 하구 알차게 잘 즐기다 왔습니다! 소삼도는 못가봤는데 다음 방문땐 소삼도도 꼭 가보는걸루...ㅎㅎ
가족여행의 최적의 숙소!!!
시부모님과 처음으로 가는 여행이었는데 거실도 넓고 화장실 2개에 오션뷰에 시부모님이 너무 좋아했던 숙소예요 ㅎㅎ 쾌적하고 직원분들 너무나 친절하시고.. 체크인하러 가면 호텔 로비뷰가 정말 미쳤어요!! 사진을 안 찍을수가 없습니다 ㅎㅎ 비수기때 가면 정말 멋진 숙소를 저렴한 가격에 갈 수 있으니 숙소 너무 추천합니다 ㅎㅎㅎ 가격이 저렴하다고 해서 서비스의 질도 떨어지지 않습니다! 그리고 객실에 비치된 티와 캡슐커피 무료로 이용할 수 있고 추가만 결제하시면 돼요. 여수 갈때 이 숙소 많이 이용할게요 ㅎㅎ
