The location is gorgeous, thermal springs are plentiful and very refreshing. The staff are very pleasant and welcoming. The complimentary breakfast is is excellent with a wide variety of foods to choose from. The only issue I have is that dining choices at the restaurants are very limited.

Great property and super nice! Staff was incredibly friendly and and amazing experience overall. Only missed 1 start because they don’t have a lot of night life & the pool on the resort ground closes at 6:00pm. It’s nice that the hot springs is open until 10:00pm.
