Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel staff is very sincere and helpful and speaks very good English. We corresponded earlier via messaging, she was very concerned when we arrived late, asked if we had dinner first thing we got off our car, as the recommended restaurant for dinner to suit our children was closing at 9pm. She was able to recommend us places to visit with children around the hotel. It was raining the 2 days while we were in Mimani Aso. It was very cool and cosy and all the staff there were so nice that fully complemented the entire experience. Amenities provided for men as well. Breakfast was customed to our preferred taste, served to our double-storey villa. View from room was fantastic. In-room onsen was excellent and everything still look new and well-maintained though this villa is alrdy 11 year old! We highly recommed and will love to return again.
