One disappointing thing was that the advertised infinity pool and sauna were not included, please make this obvious in your property description, others do. We might not have booked had we known. However, as we booked a superior room we received free breakfast and 'happy hour'. You should also advertise this as it was appreciated. Not sure executive lounge is the right name thou as it is not that, great views though. The limited menu is ok for short stays, we enjoyed it, there was beer and wine available too in the evening. The food is the same each meal, no variation, would not have been that impressed if paying but its not expensive so sto moaning, loved the chicken especially. The room was excellent, staff friendly and helpful when needed, location great, we like walking. No swimming in sea outside hotel just head north to next beach, its a nice walk. A lot of the reviews were dated and the hotel appears to have responded to the comments. Its a nice hotel, we came in october so quiet bet its heaving in summer. Fantastic outdoor gym on the beach and walks through the pines lovely.

Our stay at St. John's Hotel was a mix of positives and notable disappointments. The beachfront location is fantastic and the pet-friendly policy is well-managed. Our room was clean, check-in was immediate, and staff were kind and efficient. However, the hotel's massive scale led to a chaotic, noisy environment; the lobby felt like a busy bus terminal. We faced significant waits for the elevators. The 4 PM check-in and 11 AM check-out times felt restrictive. The lounge experience was particularly disappointing. We were informed of a strict one-hour time limit during evening happy hour, and the quality of the food and drinks was below expectations. A major letdown was the cost-cutting on amenities. The room only had bulk soap dispensers. There were no disposable slippers, only plastic ones for re-use, and basic amenities had to be purchased from a vending machine in the hallway—a noticeable step down from other Korean hotels. We also had to use an external parking lot as the main one was full.

This hotel is extremely good for pet loving guests.
