Chestertons Sokcho

These apartments are great for a family vacation with children — clean, tidy, and with comfortable beds. Cleaning is provided only for stays longer than 3 days. There’s a large pool that’s perfect for kids, the deepest 1.2m. Across the road, there’s a walking trail along the lake and a big supermarket. It takes 10min by car till Sokcho beach.

Let's state that right from the start: yes, the place was brand new at the time of the writing, so the facilities looked new, felt new, and even smelled new, and were exactly the way they look in the pictures. But let's be honest also: don't expect to find a luxury resort, we're not in that price range. The kids loved playing in the pool despite the lack of any waterpark-like installation around; but yeah, it's just a pool with a handful of rentable canopies next to it, probably better suited to pool parties with young and attractive folks. There are a few other facilities we did not have the time to try out such as indoor (paid) and outdoor (free) playgrounds for kids, an AV room (no idea what it is), and a fitness centre. A very nice stay overall in a nice city.

Clean and close to the lake. Nice facilities for kids.
