Sensui Island Beach Holidays

This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!

Overall we had a great stay at the Gardens. The staff were all super polite and were good at speaking English. The breakfast everyday overviewing Hiroshima is an unforgettable. They a great assortment of food, salads and juices. The parking experience was really cool seeing the cars move in the platform and onto a conveyor system. The hotel is in a great location and is walking distance from a lot of local destinations like Freedom Park and the Dome. The room was loaded with towels, had free bottled water and had pajamas to wear. They are so comfortable and worth the stay. The pillows have beads for relaxing and cooling. My only issue was the room was dusty especially the area above the bed.

So worth the money!! Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. The ryokan was beautifully maintained and very clean. I would recommend staying here.

Very impressive hotel

Only one coffee machine that dispenses coffee slowly at breakfast meant very long waits for coffee. They need 2 or 3 coffee machines for the size of the hotel

Old school type of place, with its own kind of charm. Big and busy. Great view from high floors.

Very clean. Great location. Easy place to stay for two Americans. Buffet breakfast was good but not great. Easy to find quick breakfast in the neighborhood. They had a washer/dryer room. I'd def stay here again.

Beautiful hotel. Loved everything about it. Service was amazing. General manager helped us with the every aspect we needed himself. Recommend it for anyone . Close to the ferry and train station. Hotel offers shuttle too

Such a quaint and charming place! The hotel reflects traditional Japanese architecture and decor. Very delicious Japanese breakfast. Extremely satisfied!! Close to bunny island too! The hotel staff helped us get a taxi to get to the bunny island dock.
