This was our third family stay in the Sono Calm. We rented 2 rooms for 4 nights for 6 family members. Service and maintenance has come way down since our last stay about 8 months ago.
Management claims Covid 19 as an excuse, but the fact remains that they decided to close most restaurants at the hotel, including the swimming pools, sauna, gym, and other public areas which ruined our vacation. Hotel opened all these areas during the more serious Covid 19 months in July, August, and early part of Sept., but as soon as it hit the "Off seson" during our stay, they shut these areas down. I can only guess that less customers meant shutting these places down to save money... It's a shame...
Also be aware that the hotel has a policy to allow only 1 very small towel per guest at each room. If you request additional, they will charge the room ! Also during our 4 nights stay, they only allowed 1 cleaning per room. I complained about this to the front desk, but I was told this was their "policy".
Not many things to do at the hotel since they decided to shut down most places inside the hotel. Not much to do outside within walking distance either. We did enjoy the "
yacht" ride for 45 minutes, and the hotel has a very nice walking trail along the ocean which is connected to the hotel. Most hotel staff were friendly.
Geoje is a very nice area. I would seriously consider other hotels next time when I visit Geoje as long as Sono Calm decides to continue shutting down public areas.
