Takaesu Holidays from AU$1,643

Over all it was good! I will go back.

Friendly and respectful staff

water park several pools one small one for kids a lazy river an adult only pool,lunch at the pool bar the food's good they also have a buffet there. Throughout the day you'll get unlimited soda and water and coffee or tea would definitely get the breakfast buffet for the morning you get a very big variety of food it is the same food everyday they don't change it. maybe change it up every 3-day rotation would be nice The dinner buffets a little smaller you do get sushi and you get alcohol variety of beers wines and I believe there is liquor even there. But that's why it's $50 for the day in US dollar. It's better just to book it when you book the hotel room because then you book it for the whole thing and you'll save money if you're going to do it everyday .there is a restaurant you can walk to at the entrance of the complex there's a little shopping plaza there with a restaurant you can get ice cream there and snacks and souvenirs. also you can walk to the lighthouse it's not that far and there's another place where you can get food and souvenirs and camping equipment over there and then you also get the beach across the street with your hotel stay you'll get one lounge chair per day per room bring your own towels and you'll get to use the jungle gym that's in the ocean for 50 min, you get a discount on the Motorsports, you get paddle boarding with the room as well. The lighthouse is not that far away it is a nice walk there they also have a playground a basketball court at

The hotel was clean and quiet. The staff were courteous, helpful and always welcoming and attentive. The bed was quite comfortable.

Loved the location near the monorail and international street with lots of shopping and restaurants. The pool was nice, if a little small and shallow. It got pretty crowded. I appreciated that it was in shade in the afternoon and water was warm. The onsen was more of a hot tub and all located outside for swimwear use so that was disappointing. I didnt bother to get in as it was too hot anyway. The free drink bar with alcohol or non alcoholic cocktail ingredients, soda, or espresso was fantastic. My son loved the free ice cream bar. We had fun and enjoyed our stay. It was very touristy and international so not much Japanese was spoken around the hotel by guests. The television was not connected to internet even though it had the app for netflix and other sites, so no option to watch a movie when tired after a long, hot day. No convenient microwave on higher floors as far as i could tell. Hotel refrigerator was small and didnt keep drinks very cold. Staff was friendly and had nice free activities in evenings such as takoyaki making and yukata picture sessions. It was geared towards people with little experience in Japan. Free ramen in evenings. I have allergies and allergen labeling was haphazard for breakfast so we chose not to take the optional breakfast. Overall a nice hotel for a family stay, especially if you like free drinks and a relaxing pool experience.
