Village de Ananti Cabin U Ocean View: Room Review & Breakfast
For travelers searching for a coastal luxury experience, Village de Ananti in Gijang is often a top candidate. While many visitors opt for Ananti Cove, detailed reviews for the Village de Ananti Cabin U Ocean View room type are relatively scarce. This review covers a two-night stay in a Cabin U Ocean View Twin room at this notable Busan hotel.
The Cabin U Ocean View Twin features a duplex layout, with a sofa and seating area on the first floor and the bedroom set up on the second floor. The ocean views from this elevated position are exceptionally clear and satisfying. The room was meticulously clean and equipped with eco-friendly amenities. The space includes a spacious dressing area, dual sinks, a deep bathtub, and a separate shower stall, offering significantly more room than a standard hotel layout.
On the first day of check-in, the minibar was provided free of charge, fully stocked with beer, juices, bottled water, snacks, and a half-bottle of wine. Capsule coffee and dining utensils were neatly arranged. Note that Village de Ananti and Ananti Cove are two separate properties located about 5 minutes apart by car, so guests should double-check their booking destination upon arrival.
For convenience items, guests can visit Moby Dick Market located on-site, which functions as a lifestyle store and convenience market offering snacks, local products, and reasonably priced alcoholic beverages. Breakfast for Village de Ananti guests is served at Le Blanc on the second floor of the LP Crystal building. While the overall hot food selection felt somewhat limited, the restaurant offers unlimited Cava (sparkling wine), fresh ramen cooked to order, and fresh sashimi.
Pool Facilities, Room Service, and Resort Perks
The dining at Le Blanc pairs well with sparkling wine, though guests seeking a heavy traditional breakfast spread may find options lean.
Regarding swimming facilities, Village de Ananti features the A Spirit of Journey pool located in the Cabin building. The 12th-floor indoor pool felt slightly cool for long swimming sessions, so moving down to the 1st-floor outdoor pool and jacuzzi proved more comfortable. The indoor section includes a shallow, child-friendly pool filled with floating duck toys, creating a relaxing environment for families.
Guests can also access the Water House pool at nearby Ananti Cove. Travel between the two properties takes about 15 minutes on foot, or 5 minutes via shuttle or personal car (vehicle license plates are automatically registered between both sites). The Cove Water House features an impressive ocean-facing infinity pool, indoor pools, jacuzzis, dry/wet saunas, and a snack zone where guests can order fish cakes and draft beer while in swimwear. Sunbeds and towels are generously provided across all pool areas.
For family travel, the 1st floor of the Cabin building houses a Kids Culture Club and a nursing room equipped with a microwave accessible to all guests. By booking through weekday promotions like Ananti Box Week and taking advantage of Rim Club membership benefits, guests can receive resort credits. A 100,000 KRW (about $75) credit was applied toward room service, covering a full Korean snack set priced at 65,000 KRW (about $49), which included tteokbokki, yakisoba, fried chicken, kimbap, fries, and cola.
Additionally, a standalone bakery shop on the property sells coffee and cheese bagels, though the texture leans lighter and airier like local kkaechal-ppang rather than a traditional dense bagel.
Final Verdict on This Coastal Busan Hotel Property
Overall, the Cabin U Ocean View at Village de Ananti delivers excellent room satisfaction, generous layout space, and picturesque views of the Gijang coastline. While the Le Blanc breakfast is best suited for those who appreciate complimentary Cava over a sprawling buffet spread, the overall stay remains comfortable.
When comparing pool options, the Water House infinity pool at Ananti Cove offers an exceptional atmosphere right by the sea, though the pools at Village de Ananti provide easy access and child-friendly setups.
For travelers choosing a ocean-view Busan hotel, Village de Ananti offers diverse room categories across various floor levels, including Cabin S (floors 2-3), Cabin B (floors 4-8), and Cabin U (floors 9-11), alongside Clipper and Mansion options. It remains a compelling destination for a relaxing coastal getaway.
