We stayed in the “executive room,” which was spacious and afforded us a lovely view of the sea. Loved the coffee machine, the smart phone available for customer use, great lavatory and bathing area within the room - a little separated so there’s plenty of privacy.
The breakfast dining area is so loud. All the children’s voices just echoed off the hard surfaces so it was impossible to have a quiet conversation. There needs to be some acoustical treatment for that space. Food offerings were so-so. Good variety, but not particularly high quality considering the price tag for breakfast.
The accessibility to the beach is great. However, because we weren’t doing ‘marine sports,’ (we were just wading and using flotation devices) we got booted from the immediate area and had to walk about 10 minutes (in the incredible HEAT!) to the formal Aoshima Beach area. So, it felt like advertising the beach as being immediately available was a little untrue. For families with small children, the walk to the swimming area is fairly long and unshaded, and having to carry stuff that far is exhausting.
The reception area is on the second floor. We were a little confused because there is a reception desk right away as you walk in, but it was deserted. It would be good to have better signs leading guests to the second floor reception area. It would be nice to have more areas for guests to hang out and read a newspaper and have a cup of coffee.
