Resom Ocean Resort in Anmyeon-do

It's been awhile since I've posted but it hasn't slowed traffic to my site as my uploads of the Boys Over Flowers piano sheets seem to be high on the Google Search Engine! : ) I haven't been sight seeing much in Seoul except for an overnight trip to Anmyeon-do in Chungcheongnam-do last month. We stayed at the Resom Ocean Resort which was the equivalent of a 4 Star hotel. It has a very inviting and large lobby and several buildings of rooms.

We had a 2 bedroom apartment with a open kitchen and 1 bathroom that overlooked the sea. It was clean and well equipped. Nice flat screen tv in the living room then an old CRT tv in the bedroom. Bit of a contrast if you ask me. It kinda felt like they decided to just do with what budget they could at that moment.

The bedroom with the tv had a queen sized bed and the other room was the Korean style room where you put the bedding on the floor. The resort has an outdoor sauna but it was a bit cold to try it out. They call it an Aqua Park but don't expect anything like Sea World or Wet n Wild. It's actually like a Japanese Onsen where there are several pools with sulphur water pumped into them from the ground with healing properties for the skin.

There are several restaurants to choose from and one that serves very good sashimi. Expect to pay a lot for it though. There was a convenience store, bakery and a beautiful wooden deck where you can also dine when the weather is warmer.

Nearby there is a famous forest, the Anmyeon-do Recreational Forest with majestic trees that are quite beautiful to walk among. It is peaceful and a wonderful way to spend a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I have pictures and will post them when I am back home (I'm on holiday now). The drive out there from Seoul is about 3 hours.
