The Grand Resort Elegante Awaji Island

It was clean and comfortable.There are not many Hotels that allow smoking, and it was hard to make a Reservation, so I’m glad I was able to stay here.Dinner being set as a fixed meal felt a little lacking, but it also meant I didn’t overeat—so in the end, it may have been for the best.

I booked our stay for the last day of Golden Week on Yahoo Travel two days in advance. It was a staff-selected Room and there was only one left, but it was a Japanese-Western style Room with two separate rooms and a unit bath, so my wife, who has some difficulty with her legs, was very satisfied.Dinner was delicious and satisfying, though it felt a little small for a man. The breakfast buffet offered both Japanese and Western options, and it was fun to make your own seafood rice bowl or sashimi set meal.The baths had two types—hot and lukewarm—and there was also a sauna, so I went in four times. The staff service, Facilities, and amenities were all satisfactory.However, the Room lighting did not support dimming, so it sometimes felt dark.This was our first time staying on Awaji Island, and my wife and I are already talking about staying again next time.
