Livemax Resort Atami Forest

We arrived a little early, but relaxed in the lobby while enjoying shaved ice.That kind thoughtfulness made us very happy.This is an old but truly lovely Hotel, quietly nestled in the mountains of Atami.The soft, high-quality Onsen is outstanding.The building does show its age, and there is also an area where the owner lives,but that is more than made up for by the wonderful Onsen and meals.Fresh sashimi.Delicious fresh salmon roe.Steak and sukiyaki,and a great variety of desserts, fruit, and ice cream—everything was very satisfying.The amenities are plentiful as well—both in the Room and at the large public bath:DHC face & hand soap, gel lotion, cleansing oil, body & hand milk, milky gel, and hair milk,plus KOSE shampoo, conditioner, and body soap—an excellent selection.There is also a pool that can be used year-round, which is great for children.It really felt like what you would expect from Livemax.Considering how travel costs have risen in recent years, this resort offers excellent value for money.Many of the staff are from overseas, but they are well trained so we felt at ease and very comfortable throughout our stay.Whenever we want good hot springs water or delicious sashimi again, we will come back to stay here.I would highly recommend this very comfortable Hotel to many people.Thank you very much for your hospitality.We look forward to staying with you again.

The sashimi at the buffet-style dinner was very delicious, and I enjoyed the other dishes as well. One disappointing point was that it was hard to find where the freshly grilled meat was served, and it wasn’t clear that sukiyaki was also available.The Room was decent, but it was inconvenient that there was only one key. The front desk staff spoke too fast, so it was difficult to understand what they were saying.
