  • It was excellent.

    I’d been wanting to visit for a long time, and if I was going, I really wanted to stay on the Sky Floor. While trying to avoid the rainy season and the heat, I was lucky enough to secure a Reservation on the Sky Floor, so I was truly looking forward to it. Then, unbelievably, a typhoon arrived on our stay date (lol). I kept checking the forecast hoping it would clear up, and maybe my wish came true—the typhoon veered away—so we were able to enjoy everything to the fullest!The ocean view from the bed in our Room and the scenery from the open-air bath in the guest room were both absolutely stunning. The infinity bath in the large public bath also moved me. The meals were delicious too—the broth for the conger eel shabu-shabu was outstanding. If I can get another Reservation, I’d definitely love to come back. It was also great that our Room had both a ReFa and a Dyson hair dryer!

    The bath was wonderful.Dinner was also excellent, but I would have preferred a private dining room. If possible, I’d like to bring my grandchildren next time.
