Spa Land Centum City alone was worth the trip, but combined with Gwangalli Beach this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Spa Land Centum City and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
