Shilla staff are extremely hospitable and attentive. Thank you to the concierge who emailed me back every time within minutes to assist with plans. I actually moved my reservation from the original plan at the Four Seasons, because their concierge emails saying their volume was too high to respond to my request for your booking. Shilla buffet is EXTENSIVE with many options for Asia and Western cuisine. We loved the coffee bar and gluten-free options. The pool is a very nice facility with good food and drink options. Heads up that kids under 140cm must wear a lifejacket, which my kids didn’t love, but had fun in the smaller pool without. Even though they say no toiletries, there are large bottles of shampoo, etc and soaps in the rooms. No need to take up space in your suitcase like I did! Decor and shopping in Shilla is very high end. Everyone wearing designer purses and styles. We were more casual but you could dress up as much as you would like. Thank you to the manager and hotel staff for the 5star service.

We were three friends travelling. We were provided with two single beds. My friend slept on the sofa. We had to ask for the third towels etc. The air conditioner didn’t work. The maintenance team wouldn’t admit to fault. Extremely crowded lobby. The room service was lovely. The staff on the whole were courteous and helpful.
