  • Excellent!

    The Room was spacious, beautiful, and spotless, and there were three open-air baths. The meals were buffet-style with a wide variety of options. The lounge was excellent!

  • A Resort in Minabe

    Because it is all-inclusive, there were no extra charges for food, drinks, or Facility use, so we could enjoy ourselves and eat more than usual. During the summer vacation period, there are many families with children, making it even livelier. It may not be suitable for those who can only dine in a quiet environment, but the tuna, cream puffs, and other dishes were very tasty—many items seemed homemade rather than pre-prepared.We used the table tennis area, but since guests are left to manage the 15-minute rotation themselves, it may be difficult to switch on time. At another Grand Mercure Hotel we used before, they took a 30-minute Reservation and lent out a table tennis set, which was easier to use. Some balls were cracked as well; I think the Hotel could check them at checkout and return when lending equipment. It would require staff time, but please consider it.
