SETOUCHI RETREAT AONAGI by Onko Chishin

The views, the people, the space, and the food—everything was exceptional. I felt instantly healed rather than gradually.The sunset was beautiful, and every staff member’s hospitality was heartfelt. The cooking that brought out the best in each ingredient was outstanding, as were the delicious broths. Not only dinner but also breakfast was truly elaborate and carefully prepared. I could go on forever, but in short, it was wonderful. Thank you very much.

We stayed overnight after a round of golf and had a wonderful experience. The staff provided attentive service, the meals were luxurious and delicious, and the private pool/jacuzzi/sauna were spotless (once you factor in time to change and shower, an hour goes by in no time). We also enjoyed complimentary sparkling wine, orange juice, and more in the well-maintained lounge, as well as free beer, juice, snacks, etc. in the in-room refrigerator. There was plenty to enjoy within the Hotel alone, so we felt it is a Hotel well worth visiting even without playing golf. Next time we would love to try the spa treatments and stay in a different Room—we definitely want to return. The adjacent Elleair Matsuyama Golf Club is also excellent, but we hope many people who don’t play golf will still experience the appeal of this resort Accommodation.Dinner focused mainly on wine; since we don’t usually drink much wine, we ordered beer and shochu instead. We would have appreciated a slightly wider selection of beer, shochu, and whisky.With such a wonderful Hotel, many guests will likely stay for special occasions—but it’s an Accommodation we want as many people as possible to experience even on an ordinary trip. Our elderly parents were very satisfied as well.Thank you for this valuable experience.
