Hotel berhampiran Mukaishima, Onomichi

Bella Vista Spa & Marina Onomichi is a small luxury resort hotel with just 44 total rooms. This area is known for ship building; the original property served as a serviced guest house for people involved in the industry beginning in 1973. The present property was established in 2007, offering rooms with ocean views and a spa. The property grounds is quite vast - it's perched on a hill overlooking the stunning Seto Inland Sea and the Bella Vista Marina at the water's edge. There are walkways throughout that offer nice vantage points by which to appreciate the scenic beauty of this area of Japan. The outdoor terrace stretches directly from the main indoor common area and has uninhibited views of the Seto Inland Sea. In the middle of the terrace is a stretch of water that appears to flow directly into the ocean (even though the Ocean is quite a ways away) - the water is less than 10cm deep and isn't meant for swimming; it's strictly for show, and it's probably the most Instragrammable aspect of the resort. And, especially in the Summer time, you'll have the ability to enjoy the infinity pool as well as partake in numerous activities (both onsite and outside the property), such as a beach BBQ and island hopping. There's also a ribbon chapel on the property grounds that has won numerous design awards, and I'd imagine that it would serve as a wonderful venue for weddings. In the resort itself, there's a nice spa facility as well as three different restaurants serving Sushi, Kaiseki and Basque-inspired cuisine (using local ingredients and recipes.) We stayed in the Panorama Terrace Suite, which was quite large 100m² and the third from the top category room at Bella Vista. The best room is the Bella Vista Maisonette Spa Suite, but we passed on it because we generally avoid Maisonette-style layouts, while The Bella Vista is similar to the Panorama Terrace Suite, except that it has it has an open air bath with a view of the Ocean; The Bella Vista was already booked when we tried to reserve it. While our room was spacious, nicely appointed and clean, it was showing its age somewhat. It could probably benefit from a refurbishment within the next few years, especially given the room rates that they charge here. There is a dearth of power outlets as well, which is further evidence that it was built more than a decade ago. The room has a stand-alone bath tub, but it's not Onsen (natural hot springs.) In fact, there's no longer Onsen anywhere on site - supposedly, Onsen stopped flowing about 7 years ago, and that was that. It's a shame, given that there is ”Spa” in the property's name, but a Japanese Spa resort without Onsen is a bit of a misnomer if you ask me. Not their fault, but them's the facts. Dining wise, Bella Vista offers 3 options - Sushi, Kaiseki and Basque-inspired cuisine. All three of the restaurants serve dishes using the very best of local ingredients from both land and sea. We had dinner at Erretegia, the Basque-Japanese restaurant, and it w

瀬戸田港目の前の立地。フェリー到着すぐで最高。 部屋は快適。灯りも縁側のシンクもGOOD。 食事以外ではあまりスタッフに出会わないものの、随所にソフト面で心配りを感じる。特にお風呂に持っていく籠は家族に好評だった。 名物レモン風呂は匂いが良くて、良い体験。 夕食はかなりの量。4種の刺身は美味しかった。量的に3種でもいいかも。また煮付けは好みの問題かもしれないが、煮汁をもう少し改良しては。 朝食、これは素晴らしかった。とくにアジに青のりを載せて食べるのは新鮮で、家にかえってやってみようと思う。普段しない食べ方の提案をされる。これが旅の醍醐味。 パンとコーヒーのサービスが最高。和食ばかりで少し飽きていたので嬉しい。しかもドーナッツパンをはじめとした多彩なパンがコーヒーに良く合う事。 つつ井は、レモンケーキの向栄堂やコロッケの岡哲商店、満足度100%の耕三寺、蛸天丼のちどりからも近く立地抜群。 しまなみドルチェまでは遠いので、レンタサイクルを借りて、サイクリングがてらにいけば心地いい汗をかいて、美味しいジェラートが食べられます。 生口島に行く際はおすすめです。

Location is good, very accessible to stations, food outlets and mall. In the heart of Fukuyama City. It would be better if they could have the supplementary coffee too.

コスパが良く清潔で広めの部屋です。大浴場とサウナもありリラックス出来ます。 女性用サウナは狭いのですが長時間専用する人がいて残念です。 自分用のマットやマッサージ器具を持参していたので数分で退散。 スマホを持ち込んでいる人も多いのでチェックイン時に注意事項を伝えた方がいいと思いました。 スタッフの方は感じもいいのでまた利用したいです。

I primarily booked the room based on its location along my planned route but it ended up being one of my favorite hotels on my recent trip to Japan. The hotel is quite new and the rooms larger than a standard Japanese hotel typically offers. The bathroom was great but the best was when I looked out the window to a GREAT view of Fukuyama Castle. The onsen/spa was beautiful and really was beyond what I expected all around. Check-out was completed easily with the digital kiosk and many language options were available. Highly recommend!

Good location, near station, close by restaurants and convenient store. Always coming back here nice breakfast, with many choices.

ホテルは綺麗でアメニティも充実していて身軽に行けました。無料貸し出しのヘアアイロンを期待して持参せずに行ったら滞在していた二日間とも貸し出し中と言われ、結局使えませんでした。ネット予約時に添い寝で小学一年生で予約しているのにベッドが壁づけされておらず、かなり大きなベッドなので移動させるのも無理でした。大人の服やスリッパはあるのに子供のはロビーまで取りにいかないと用意されてませんでした。子供の枕もなくて大人のをあてがいましたが、ネットには子供枕ありと、、準備が不十分すぎて子連れ客に優しくないと思いました。子供の朝食代をネット予約代から勝手にプラスされて請求され、何のプラス料金かわからず、とまどいました。 チェックアウト後の荷物預かりは助かりました。

Great family experience. I read all the reviews and was worried that the room had no attached bath, emailed the hotel with all the questions I had and made all the preparations for my kids. Lord and behold I was assigned THE ROOM with attach bath right next to the Onsen! It was incredible for a family of four. They have a common toilet as well so if the one in the room is occupied, I just walk out to the common one that is well maintained. The staff here speaks good English and were extremely helpful. The breakfast, lunch and dinner at the one and only restaurant here were incredible. While they do not have a wide variety, they made it up with the quality! Delicious is an understatement! Ask the receptionist everything and seek their advise on everything you want to do. They will tell you the best timings and areas to experience the most bunnies! Their weather forecast is spot on too. The only downside is the room smell of bunny food, but this is expected as this island is basically about bunnies!
