The gold level offered a private breakfast, drinks and snacks. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They offered an area for adults only pool area. It was nice to relax without a brunch of children running around.

해변 바로 앞이라 너무 좋았어요. 시설, 청결도도 너무 좋았고 정원을 너무 잘 가꿔둬서 감탄했습니다. 골드는 같은 층에 라운지가 있어서 편했고 항상 마실 수 있는 음료나 시간 때에 따라 가벼운 음식이 있어서 너무 좋았어요. 그리고 라운지 앞에는 직원이 항상 있어서 물어볼 서 있어서 굉장히 편했어요~ 추천합니다!!
