forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.48 out of 5 (921 reviews). Families staying with children mentioned enjoying views of Sakurajima from both their room and the communal bath, and appreciated staff playing with their children while they waited to check out. One post also said the children were thrilled with how spacious the Refa room was. On the other hand, some guests noted being startled by small ants in their room, and that the inside of the toilet exhaust fan was exposed, so their child was frightened by the dust.
