Paradise Hotel in Yeongjongdo - just the name conjures up images of the perfect "hotel vacation," right?

I recently went there myself, using a special anniversary as an excuse.

It wasn't just about staying overnight; I packed everything I needed to fully embrace the celebratory atmosphere and some great staycation tips. It made the experience so much more rewarding.

I especially loved having a bathtub in the room, allowing for a private spa experience. Since there aren't many restaurants nearby, I made good use of the CU convenience store on the first floor.

I'm going to share how to watch your favorite streaming services on the TV from bed and all my anniversary preparation tips.

Staycation Essentials: Pro Tips

One of the main reasons I go to hotels is to enjoy a relaxing bath in the tub.

I don't have a bathtub at home, and I prefer to enjoy a bath in a place where I don't have to clean the tub myself!

So, I used bath salts from Don Quijote in Japan for a lovely spa-like experience.

Here are the essentials I, as an ESFJ, always pack in my suitcase for a truly perfect staycation, starting with these small, helpful items.

Phone stand, charger, humidifier (it gets so dry in the winter that I've caught a cold...), travel electric kettle, disposable spoons/forks, toothbrush, toothpaste, pajamas, basic medicine

Yes, I'm the type of person who needs to bring all of this, even for just one night in Korea...

These days, many hotels don't provide toothbrushes, so bringing your own will save you a trip to the convenience store!

I'll include a link to a separate post at the bottom with details about the room layout and size.

It was a deluxe twin room and quite spacious, with the bathroom separate from the room. It was designed so you can lie down and see the view from the window.

The bathtubs at Paradise Hotel are generously sized, perfect for a blissful bath.

Preparing to Watch Streaming Services

Since we had a large bed (actually two beds!), we wanted to lie down and watch streaming services, but the TV wouldn't turn on. For iPhones, you need to request a set-top box from the front desk. So, I called and requested one.

Samsung Galaxy: Connect using Smart View mirroring

iPhone: The staff will bring and install a new set-top box in your room when you request it from the front desk.

However, I've heard that set-top boxes can be fully booked during peak season, so if you really want to watch streaming services, bring your own device.

You know what real happiness is? Buying a bunch of snacks and beer from the convenience store on the first floor and eating them until you fall asleep!

We just bought our favorite snacks and beer and enjoyed them.

CU also had Chestnut Tiramisu, which I got to try for the first time.

I fell asleep without even realizing it, and when I woke up, it was already time for breakfast!

You can buy anything you need at the CU across from Cimer, and I'll leave comments with links to the bath salts and the toothbrush I've been loving!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
