Fantastic Onsen Experience

The onsen at Manpa Resort was a highlight of my stay, especially the outdoor bath overlooking the sea. It was truly beautiful and serene, allowing me to unwind while enjoying the stunning scenery. The tranquility of soaking in the hot spring as I took in the amazing views is something I'll never forget.

Culinary Delight

I had the half-board option during my stay, and the meals were very nice. Dinner was particularly nice, served at a lovely table that offered a romantic view of the sea at sunset. Each course was beautifully prepared, showcasing the best of Japanese cuisine, and breakfast was equally delicious.

Stunning Room View

My room had a breath-taking 180-degree sea view, which made my stay so much more special. The traditional Japanese style, combined with a modern touch and a connected balcony, allowed me to relax in comfort while enjoying the nice ocean view.
