Before the rooms, this was Baeritnae, a fishing hamlet. The name is Jeju dialect for a cliff dropping to the water, and people also hear it as a stream where stars fall. In 1991 the village opened as City Village, the country's first traditional Korean hotel, thatched houses beside what is now the Jeju International Convention Center. It took the Seaes name in October 2004. The house is still tiny: 29 rooms, several of them detached villas, with Olle Trail 8 running through the grounds.

History
The ground was Baeritnae, a small fishing village beside what is now the Jeju International Convention Center, at 198 Jungmun-gwangwang-ro. Berit is dialect for a cliff whose foot meets river or sea, and the name is also heard as a stream where stars pour down. In 1991 the village opened as City Village, the first traditional Korean hotel in the country: thatched houses standing in for the old settlement. In October 2004 it reopened as CS Hotel & Resort, later Seaes.
There are 29 rooms, Korean-style rooms and suites among detached pool villas, and the house is often held for VIP guests when the convention center is busy. An outdoor banquet lawn, Alddreu Square, runs to about 7,000 pyeong. Secret Garden, I'm Sorry I Love You, Boys Over Flowers, and Princess Hours filmed among the thatched roofs.
The setting
Seaes stands at 198 Jungmungwangwang-ro, immediately beside the Jeju International Convention Center, inside the Jungmun Tourist Complex. Olle Trail 8 crosses the grounds. Cheonjeyeon waterfall is the near landmark, Jungmun Beach about three minutes away, and the big cliff hotels of the complex, including Parnas, are along the same shore. The southern outdoor banquet garden is pitched by the hotel as the one closest to the sea.
