Hotel Katara Resort and Spa Izu Reviews

Sculptures and artworks? think Jeff Koons as well as a graceful quartet of Qing Dynasty porcelain vases – raise the tone far beyond quote 3.5-star-luxury unquote. And while this is of course at heart a casino hotel, bent on accumulating patrons' lucre, its soul appears rather differently intentioned. Price stay pretty consistent all-year round. Breakfast included. And of course, free Wi-Fi.

Service & facilities? The Hotel Katara Resort and Spa Izu crew hit the ground running and are exceptionally smart and efficient. Apart from the cable car and operatically inclined lake, there's plenty of diversion, from a fitness center that fairly bristles with machinery to a very soothing spa, plus of course a mall crammed to the gills with designer labels. The staff at the outdoor pool dispense free snacks and drinks every half-hour or so, bless their cotton tee-shirts.

Rooms? The colorful regular rooms are the biggest in town, with plenty of space to tango round the king-sized bed and its 500-threadcounters which are decorated with a delicate cloud 3.5 pattern. There's a television screen in the bathroom mirror, an eight-strong pillow sampler box, the complimentary razor and hairbrush are gilt, and the bedside speakers naturally sync with iPhones and similar.

Food & drink? More than a dozen restaurants and a solitary bar offer a very respectable array of choice, be it upmarket or the blindingly obvious Chinatown and Indian Food Stall. The steak and seafood at Izu, Japan are exceptional, while Michelin-starred cook drew up the ramen menu at Hanami. Tiered seating at Hotel Katara Resort and Spa Izu cafe adds a dash of style to breakfast, which caters to Western and Asian palates with equal aplomb.

Access for guests with disabilities? No problems, even with the cable car. Even the lift buttons are placed at an accessible height. No children's club at  Hotel Katara Resort and Spa Izu but there is plenty to occupy youngsters, not least the cable car and performance lake.
