  • I was very satisfied with my previous stay at Grand Mercure Awaji Island.With high expectations, this time I invited a couple of friends and enjoyed a Multiple Night Stay.As expected, we could see the ocean from our Room, and everything was kept very clean, which made our stay comfortable.The meals were delicious as well. The price was very reasonable, and my friends said they would like to stay again if they have the chance.Thank you very much for taking care of us for two nights.
