Rakuten Travel rating 4.54 out of 5 (974 reviews). Some guests say that even with small children they enjoyed the summer, thanks to the pool and the swimming beach right nearby. Families traveling with a grandmother, a baby or a pregnant family member also write that the staff's attentiveness let them relax with peace of mind. Many guests mention enjoying the in-room open-air and semi-open-air baths. On the other hand, some point out that families with elderly members struggled because there were no handrails in the open-air bath or shower room.
