edit x seven Setouchi Shodoshima

My first trip to Shodoshima, and choosing this Hotel after so much deliberation was absolutely the right decision!The system felt very modern—I was a bit confused at first, but my daughters loved it. The staff’s approach was also just right: attentive without being overbearing.At the thermal spa, I lost track of time, soothed by the incredible views and feeling completely refreshed.The simple, stylish Room was also very comfortable to use.We intentionally didn’t add dinner to our plan and chose to dine directly at the restaurant instead, which turned out great.With drinks, we enjoyed salad, carpaccio, ajillo, and paella—everything was delicious. My daughters raved about how great the value was compared with the city!Breakfast suited our tastes as well—perfect for adult women.A Hotel where one night isn’t enough; I’d love to stay longer and truly relax.Both Shodoshima and this Hotel became wonderful memories for us. Thank you very much.I’d definitely like to stay again!!

This was my first trip to Shodoshima.I was a bit worried because the Reviews were mixed, but I ended up very satisfied—probably helped by visiting on an affordable date and having great weather.It’s a new Hotel, so it can feel a little confusing at first, but it seems they’re improving their operations, and the staff checked in with us.The pool is long and narrow, but we used it at a quiet time and really enjoyed it. The reclining chairs and jacuzzi were also great. The sauna has a view, high heat, self-service löyly, a cold plunge bath, and outdoor relaxation while looking out at the sea—sauna lovers will probably find it irresistible. Water and fruit punch were also available.For dinner we bought olive-fed beef at a supermarket and grilled it in our Room. The kitchen equipment is well stocked. I couldn’t find dish soap, but I assume they would bring some if you ask. Until evening there were complimentary self-serve drinks (including wine and shochu).The Room was spacious and had four beds, so it seems popular for families or groups of friends traveling together.
