Kensington Resort Seorak Beach

From my perspective as a foreign tourist, the hotel was fine, but very little English was spoken and my family all felt that the hotel seemed a bit "industrial." The room was comfortable and we liked the kitchenette, heated floors and balcony overlooking the ocean. The restaurant onsite and most of those nearby close at 9 pm, so either plan accordingly or head into Sokcho city for more options. We enjoyed the beach and the electric tricycles for rent. We didn't have the breakfast buffet because it seemed too expensive and we weren't sure what all was offered, but there is a cafe downstairs which offers sandwiches and pastries. Great, quiet location from which to explore nearby attractions such as Seorak National Park and the DMZ.

the resort has a private beach which is a super plus and the reason why we booked this resort. there are many facilties inside the resort like cafe, convient store, spa, local grocery store and restaurant. we were given a room on the 5th floor with a view of the sea with a nice terrace. the resort was better than expected.

Ocean view - great; Organisation of dinner buffet - well done; new towels every day; good for families
