Quick Check-In @ Landing Resort JSW

Jeju Shinhwa World Landing Resort, Jeju Shinhwa World Marriott Resort, Shinhwa Theme Park, Shinhwa Shoppes were opened only recently in late 2017. With the opening of Shinhwa Waterpark in the summer of 2018 as well as Lionsgate Movie World in 2020, Jeju Shinhwa World is set to become the next top attraction and lifestyle destination in Jeju! Thanks to the great folks of Jeju Shinhwa World (JSW), we got the opportunity to stay at the Jeju Shinhwa World Landing Resort!

Landing Resort Jeju Shinhwa World Superior Twin Room Review

During our travels in Jeju, we rented a car from AJ Rent-a-Car, a partner of Avis Car Rental. After getting our rental car from Jeju International Airport, we keyed in “Jeju Shinhwa World” into Waze on our phone and we were on our way! You’ll be happy to note that parking at JSW Landing Resort is complimentary. We parked at the open air parking near the hotel, with the lobby just a short walk away. The very first thing we noted was the level of service that the hotel offers. As we approached the entrance, we were greeted by the staff with a bow and a warm welcome, before he approached and helped us with our luggage. The sunroof allowed natural light to fill the spacious lobby. A great feel for a lobby entrance…

After the prompt check-in, we were shown to the lift lobby before we headed to our Superior Twin Room! We were greeted by a basket of fruits topped with a card, personally signed by the hotel’s manager. A nice personal touch.

Kate was also very interested in the Jayjun x Jeju Shinhwa World masks that greeted us! For a limited period only, Jayjun Cosmetics jointly produced this set of facial treatment for hotel guests to enjoy. They include the Real Water Brightening Black Mask as well as the Baby Pure Shining Mask that we enjoyed in the evening before we turned in…

Jeju Shinhwa World Landing Resort Review – Facilities

After settling in, we took the opportunity to check out the facilities of JSW Landing Resort. During this stay, we were also given the opportunity to visit Mosil Club House. Modeled after the famous Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak (성산일출봉/济州岛城山日出峰), Mosil Club House offers facilities such as a 25 metres lap pool (indoor heated), a large children’s pool, an outdoor heated pool, a spa, a fitness center and a sauna!

The pools (both indoors and outdoors) were what we loved best about the Mosil Club House. Indoors, we were able to do leisure swims in the lap pool. With the heated indoor pool, it was nice even when the weather outside dipped to 10 degrees at night. Outdoors, we were able to chill at 38 degrees heated pools. Staring at the stars in a cold weather while keeping warm in the heated pool was simply relaxing…

During our visit to 3 Butcher’s at Jeju Shinhwa World, we order the set meal for 2 priced at 60,000krw. As it was in a fancy precinct (G Dragon and all), we thought that the portion of pork would be relatively small. We were so wrong…

The SLAB of pork was HUGE!!! In addition, there was another portion of pork belly. After BBQ (and some nibbling), it came up to a huge portion of pork. As with Korean meals, side dishes (vege, kim chi) and water were included. Definitely, a filling dinner that evening!

Lastly, we always enjoyed a portion of fruits. Jeju is famous for its oranges. You’ll find an orange stall everywhere you go in Jeju. This probably explains why the oranges at Landing Dining were soooooooo SWEET!
