Minami-Awaji Hotels with Pools

„My non-smoking room smelled of smoke. Fortunately the staff were exceptional, and I soon received another room. One staff told me that because the room was ”Japanese Style”, and that I had to take the bedding from the closet, move the low table and make up my own futon. I live in Japan and I know what a ”Japanese Style” room is. Ryokans of a good grade will have staff make up the futons. When a hotel is too large, the work of making up the futons for all rooms becomes onerous, however, one wonders why ”five star hotel” if one has to make up one's own futon AND receive education on what a ”Japanese Style” room entails [ I am in the hotel business]. The lobby is bleak and looks cheap. No style, no charm. The seating is ugly and cheap. There are real plants here and there but no cut flowers. Cut flowers are very expensive in Japan. Too expensive for this hotel. The final point is that I booked this specific hotel in order to take a swim. Although the weather was fine, the pool had closed the day before I arrived. The pool was still full of water, perfect and peaceful, but ”closed”. No doubt, this saves on staff and other expenses, in the same way that making up one's own futon does . . . all this is fine for a hostel, but not for a luxury hotel. I have been generous with my star-giving because I like to be kind, and because several of the staff were truly exceptional in their kindness and service, however, we hope that the management will note our comments. Please pay for more staff and please keep your pool open as long as the weather permits. Global warming means pools can stay open longer. :-)”

„今回夫婦還暦祝いの小旅行として利用させて頂きました。とても落ち着く雰囲気でした。部屋は和室で広々でした。温泉も良く、1階と3階ラウンジあり、食後コーヒー無料として利用しました。スタッフも親切でした。環境設備には大変満足でした。 　肝心の食事について、事前に凄く期待していました。期待し過ぎたか、お皿が小さくて量の少なさにガッカリ。刺身について　さわら、タイ、カンパチ、3種小さく、重量級ネタは全く無く、牛肉と言ったら、出されたのは通常ステーキのひと切れのサイズの量10〜20gでした。デザートはパンナコッタで、大きい底皿で乗せた感じです。離宮系高級食事感は全く無かったです。盛り付けは会席料理で綺麗ですが、食材質とボリューム感から評価できませんでした。 　朝食についても、buffスタイルで、種類が少なかったです。”

„房間很大又乾淨，前台和經理的服務都很好！經理主動幫忙拎箱子，晚上泳池邊看⭐太好看了！還送了很多免費飲料和啤酒！推薦！”

„此行最愉快的住宿體驗～ 酒店位於山上，交通是真的不便。按照地圖坐了bus到離酒店最近的車站下來，比較鄉下，叫不到車，還得走2.8km，關鍵還有爬坡路段，拖着箱子真的辛苦。抵達酒店後發現有到福良的shuttle bus，但衹送過去，返回酒店要自己打車，不過，好歹福良算是個小鎮，叫個taxi沒問題，所以下次來，可以公共交通到福良再taxi到酒店！ 房間：乾淨、風景好，對面鳴門大橋，景觀贊～ 早餐也較豐盛～ 服務是真的好！”
