This resort spa offers a peaceful retreat with beautifully decorated rooms that reflect Japanese aesthetics. While the service was generally good, the limited dining options could use some improvement. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to a stunning beach, and the overall value for money is decent despite some downsides. A few amenities like parking and air conditioning were not ideal, but the comfortable environment made up for it.

This resort spa is set back from the beach but is still centrally located, making it convenient for getting around. The rooms, especially on the upper floors, have a beautiful Japanese decor that adds a nice touch.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at this resort spa. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the bed was oh-so-comfortable. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning on the lower floors, which could get a bit warm. The facilities were top-notch, especially the pool area, but I did find the dining options to be somewhat limited in variety. Overall, for the price, it felt like great value for a relaxing getaway.
