ChinaA hotel that feels like a 5* resort in a stunning setting.
I have loved every single second at Aki Grand Hotel : service was kind and personalised, room was clean, comfortable and with a beautiful view over the sea and the giant tori, dinner and breakfast were very good too.
I was impressed by the different onsen in the hotel, but completely mesmerised by the private onsen. I strongly recommend anyone coming to this hotel to book it for a little extra, because it might be one of the highlight of your trip!
I had also booked a night cruise, and the boat brings you very close to the tori which I found magical.
I didn't use the outdoor pool but it looks fun and was busy yet not too crowded. It opens from mid-July until end of August, until 5pm, no cap needed.
The hotel is sophisticated but has a delightful relaxing family feeling so that you directly feel at ease.
My only regret was that, due to obon holidays, I couldn't book more than one night. I would 100% come back for longer in a future trip.
