3. Showcasing Top-tier Reviews from Korean Guests
Being situated in South Korea, it’s no surprise that ‘Grand Hyatt Incheon‘ plays host to a significant number of Korean guests. In my quest for understanding guest experiences, I’ve come across a plethora of reviews penned by Koreans. Allow me to share some of these standout reviews with you.
3.1. Best Review 1: “Staycation at Grand Hyatt Incheon West Tower, a hotel near Incheon Airport”
Summary of the Blog Post
I had a one-night stay at the Grand Hyatt Incheon West Tower before heading to Bohol the next day, due to a long time use of Incheon Airport. This hotel, one of the two major staycation hotels in Yeongjongdo, boasts a charming Incheon Airport view and a child-friendly swimming pool at the Grand Hyatt Incheon.
This hotel, which offers a free shuttle service from Incheon Airport, is a good value 5-star hotel that is easy to reserve. It is a good place to enjoy a staycation in Yeongjongdo with your child before and after international travel. The building is divided into the East Tower and the West Tower, and the two towers are connected by a bridge on the second floor. Both buildings allow check-in and parking, but it is more convenient to park in the building where you will stay.
We booked the Incheon Airport View Twin Room in the West Tower, where all the kids’ facilities are concentrated. The room had two beds and a conveniently located outlet for charging at the head of the bed. Also, the recliner sofa with a fantastic view of the Incheon Airport runway in the distance allowed us to feel the romance of travel in advance.
At the Grand Hyatt Incheon, you can use three swimming pools (East Tower, West Tower, Children’s Pool). All swimming pools are hot water pools, so you can enjoy water play with children without worrying about catching a cold. Each swimming pool has a separate locker room, shower room, and dehydrator, making it convenient to use, and the children’s pool allows tube use and offers free life jacket rental.
This hotel located near Incheon Airport is a good place to adjust your condition before and after departure, and it is also a good place to enjoy a simple staycation in Yeongjongdo at the hotel. I recommend this place where you can swim with your child, enjoy a delicious buffet, and enjoy the view of Incheon Airport.

The Grand Hyatt Incheon has 1,000 rooms and operates two swimming pools. Also, there are special benefits when you book through ‘Here, How About This?’.
