My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were spacious and had separate areas, including a private open-air bath. The views from the room were simply breathtaking, especially in the Japanese style room. The dining experience in the western-style restaurant was good, but I missed the traditional tatami room vibe.
