Hotel Ciel De Mer Haeundae

We (two adults and two teens) stayed in this serviced apartment for 5 days in August. Ciel De Mer shared the same premises with another hotel (although with different entrances), hence it would be a bit difficult in locating it from the main road. Most of the taxi drivers could only locate it via the navigator once given the co-ordinates. There was only two elevators serving 5-storeys carpark and 22 storeys apartment, hence during peak season you have to be patient in lining up for the elevator, especially when there was an influx of tourists on Friday and Saturday. It's one to two minutes walking distance from Haeundae beach, hence a very good base for those beach lovers. Convenience stores were just at the doorstep. Restaurants including the popular Jejuga just next door. There was a lot of car-parking spaces at the basement. In terms of public transportation, it's far from the metro station - at least 10-15 minutes walking distance, and would not be an easy walk under the fierce sun. Mostly we travelled by taxi - to Busan Station around 15000 won; to BECOM around 5000 won; to Jalgachi Market around 20000 won; to BIFF around 9000 won. The one-bedroom partial seaview apartment was clean, spacious and new, with user-friendly facilities and electrical appliances, viz. security system, air-con, rice-cooker, washing machine, fridge etc. Excellent sound proofing effects as we heard nothing from our neighbours with babies and toddlers. Toiletries were not provided. The reception was very busy as there were a lot of tourists during summer. Recommended for travellers at all ages, especially families with young children.
