forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.58 out of 5 (9,544 reviews). Several guests report that their children were delighted with the bunk-bed rooms, and families also praise the shoes-off rooms with low beds. Some reviews mention that pouches of Aquarius and Calpis were provided in the room for each guest, which helped as a precaution against heatstroke. On the other hand, the coin laundry tends to get crowded at certain times of day, which is worth keeping in mind.
